Shiseido Travel Retail unveiled its Platinum Suite at the virtual Moodie Davitt Virtual Travel Retail Expo in October 2020. The suite was themed ‘The TR New Retail by Shiseido’ and explores how Shiseido Travel Retail has pivoted and adapted to the new travel retail landscape.
The suite took visitors on a journey through the company’s key growth strategies and new product innovations, which now include recently-acquired brands The Ginza, Drunk Elephant and Tory Burch.
The suite experience also includes a ‘Power Hour’ guided tour which is region-specific and led by Shiseido Travel Retail representatives. Guests begin their journey at the suite lobby — designed to unfold like the pages of a book — where they can discover Shiseido’s powerful portfolio of brands.

They continue at the ‘New Retail’ desk, where a virtual beauty consultant takes them through the Japanese beauty giant’s new travel retail solutions. This includes the company’s new ‘Share STR mobile application,’ an internal digital education programme with a focus on safety and sanitation.
The New Retail desk also showcases Shiseido’s next-generation store counter concepts and social connectivity tools. Airfree for example, presents end-to-end ecommerce solutions for the inflight channel.
The Insights Gallery — which is led by Shiseido Travel Retail’s Consumer & Marketing Intelligence team showcases the consumer insights that power the company’s product innovations and omnichannel strategies.
The Shiseido brand room was inspired by the brand’s ‘ALIVE’ counter concept

“We are excited to showcase our plans for the future of travel retail and reinforce Shiseido Travel Retail as an ideal long-term collaborator among our partners in the Trinity as the channel works towards recovery and growth.”
Each one of the brand rooms in Shiseido Travel Retail’s Platinum Suite offers a unique virtual experience that showcase the USPs of Shiseido Travel Retail’s 15 brands in the skincare, makeup and fragrance categories.
