Quite a few things, actually. KCRs can direct you to the right formulas for your skin type, lead guided conversations regarding skin concerns, ingredients, and tips, and help make your online shopping experience as pleasant and effortless as possible. Through the Virtual Kiehl’s Customer Representative, users can also sign up for the brand’s emails for access to offers and new product announcements, as well as ask about existing orders and specific products.“Since our beginnings as a neighborhood apothecary, Kiehl’s has always put our patrons first, making sure they have what they want, when they need it, and ensuring that they go home with a regimen that’s been personalized for their own concerns,” said Chris Salgardo, President, Kiehl’s USA. “As a company, part of putting the customer first is making sure that you can be found where they are, and by bringing our service to Messenger, we’ll be able to do just that. The social community is growing much faster than we can build stores, and customers will be able to interact with Kiehl’s in their social community even if we’re not yet in their physical neighborhood.”As Virtual Kiehl’s Customer Representative evolves, expect to see new features added such as appointment booking, seasonal gift guides, and new product previews.
