Speed Dating for Success at cosnova! 🚀 When it comes to consumer feedback and consumer speed dating at cosnova, our colleague Melanie Wieland consistently leads the way. As an expert in qualitative research, she aids in the creation and enhancement of products and services through human-centered evaluations. 🔍 Employees are regularly invited to gather feedback on their products, concepts, prototypes, websites, and project results through consumer testing. The process is inspired by the concept of speed dating. In six rounds of 15 minutes each, testers evaluate the respective teams and their products/services, providing honest feedback. For the testing teams, this means observing and listening attentively. 🎙️ When asked in the cosnova podcast "TBD - TechBeautyDiscussion" by Constance and Kevin why speed dating is her favorite project at cosnova, she replied: "I particularly like speed dating days because so many people come together for three hours and generate feedback in a fun yet effective way, which then flows into the products or services." 🌐 A successful online version of the concept has now been tested with consumers worldwide. "We were initially a bit skeptical about how this would work for the product teams because elements like scent and feel naturally play an important role here, but it really worked out." 🎧 If you are interested in learning more about Melanie's role at cosnova and our speed dating experience, we recommend listening to the latest episode of our podcast, where Melanie is featured as a guest. #cosnova #SpeedDating #MakeEveryoneFeelMoreBeautiful #ConsumerInsights

We are thrilled to share our insights from recent on-site store checks! 🌟 Even in the digital age, in-person store visits are irreplaceable. Here's why: During their journeys, our employees capture impressions from stores, POS displays, brands, campaigns, and products that online sources can’t provide. 🌐 Experiencing beauty trends in person is dynamic and engaging in a way websites or social media can't replicate. 🛍️ Plus, seeing consumers use popular products on the streets gives us a real feel for local trends. 👀 After the pandemic travel restrictions, we realized how much we missed these offline store checks. ✈️ Online sources and desk research are helpful but can’t replace the ground-level insights we gain. Each city offers unique features: New York: Trends here often influence Europe. We see diversification, sustainability, wellness, and self-expression. 🌍💄 Seoul: The K-Beauty scene is innovative and exciting, with fresh trends in makeup and skincare. 🇰🇷✨ Tokyo: J-Beauty focuses on quality, tradition, and personalization, with a playful pop culture influence. 🇯🇵🎌 To share these insights in real time, we've developed a live tracker platform. 📲 Inspired by live news tickers, it lets colleagues follow our store checks, with real-time photos and a Miro board for clustering first impressions into trend topics. On-site store checks remain vital for us as a beauty company, offering unique experiences and insights that drive our understanding in the ever-evolving beauty industry. 🌸 In this photo you can see our colleagues Asita Morgan, Maria Nguyen, Verena Vinci und wesselina christowa-schmid at the store check in Seoul.

🌍 Sustainability Matters 🌍 Did you know that 51% of Germans consider sustainability in their purchasing decisions? At cosnova, we’re passionate about making beauty accessible and eco-friendly.

From microplastic-free and vegan products to responsible sourcing of Mica and Palm Oil, we lead with responsibility.
