We’ve all heard about subscription models that give customers monetary perks in exchange for recurring purchases. But brands like IPSY are elevating this concept by integrating compelling content, community and exclusive access to products. 

IPSY’s merchandising team plays a central role in bringing the brand promise to life. Led by Chief Merchandising Officer Kristy Westrup, the merch division tests more than 8,000 products per year to curate the best assortment for customers. During this week’s Retail Remix, we dig into this process, as well as: 

• How merchandising collaborates with marketing to create compelling content that drives member acquisition and retention; 
• How the team applies social media insights and other data points to constantly keep a pulse on what’s trending; and
• How the team integrates customer feedback consistently to refine assortment and expand into new brands and categories.
