A merry “hop” into the Lunar New Year of the Rabbit, Elizabeth Arden collaborates with Miffy, the loveable fictional rabbit character created by Dutch artist Dick Bruna, to create fun retailtainment in multiple Asia Pacific regions.
In China Hainan, an Elizabeth Arden X Miffy themed pop up at the Level 1 Atrium of Hainan Tourism Duty Free Shopping Complex (operated by license holder Hainan Tourism Investment Duty Free Co with the co-support partnership of Lagardère Travel Retail) greets customers from now till 28 February 2023.
The popup at HTDF has been popular with both adults and children alike.
The interactive popup focuses on Elizabeth Arden’s iconic range of Ceramide capsules serum, each targeting a different set of skincare concerns. The range now comprises of 5 variations – the latest newly launched Advanced Light Ceramide capsules strengthen; Advanced Ceramide Capsules nourish; Retinol Ceramide Capsules smooth lines and wrinkles; Hyaluronic Acid Ceramide Capsules plump skin; and Vitamin C Ceramide Capsules brighten skin. Each biodegradable capsule comes in a precise dosage with a waterless formula which is pure and potent.
An interactive digital e-book powered by motion sensor enables customers to learn all about Ceramide capsules – the importance of Ceramide to our skin; types of Ceramide capsules and their respective benefits; usage tips etc. This is followed by a photo taking section with Miffy and Elizabeth Arden Ceramide capsules, against the backdrop of a skincare diary.
The key highlight of the popup is an enchanting capsule house, “encapsulating” a gold wishing tree decorated with Elizabeth Arden capsules. Customers are invited to write their skincare wishes on capsules-shaped cards and to hang them on the wishing tree. Miffy sits within the whimsical garden in the transparent dome, welcoming customers to enter. Customers embraced the opportunity to make their new year wishes and 2023 skincare resolutions, while capturing on camera the golden moments of putting up their wishes.
