As WOW delivered impeccable products by blending nature and science, the brand gained popularity among consumers who wanted to nourish and maintain their skin and hair health. Initially, the growth was exclusively from the brands’ presence in the online marketplaces – Amazon, Flipkart, Nykaa, Purplle etc. However, with increasing brand awareness and popularity, consumers wanted a more ‘Touch, Feel & Test‘ experience, and better accessibility to the products. This spurred the brand to put more focus on its offline retail strategy and expand presence in the brick-and-mortar stores across the country.
