Today’s insightful interview features Australia's Leading Online Beauty Retailer – Adore Beauty – and its loyalty programme, Adore Society.

Adore Beauty was started as a home grown business way back in April 2000 by Kate Morris, who grew up in rural Australia and was frustrated that the latest beauty products in magazines were only available to those who lived in the big Australian cities.

Now, Adore Beauty, the website she created to ensure nationwide access to those products across the country, is a public company listed on the Australian Stock Exchange, stocking over 260 cosmetic brands and over 11,000 beauty products.

Our guest is Miranda Bliss, Head of Loyalty and Retention at Adore Beauty, who shares how Adore Society is personalising its programme, as well as leveraging both AI and A/B testing techniques in order to optimise member's experiences as the brand approaches the launch of its physical stores and becomes a multi-channel retailer.
