  • Provide guidance and support to sales teams on leveraging event interactions for post‑event client follow‑up and long‑term clienteling.
  • Performance Reporting :
  • Conduct thorough post‑event analysis, preparing detailed reports on event attendance, client engagement, direct sales conversions, and overall contribution to store revenue.

  • Present findings and strategic recommendations to the Head of Education, Sales Leadership, and Brand Teams to continuously optimise future in‑store events for maximum impact.
  • Brand Advocacy & Educational Alignment :
  • Ensure all in‑store events consistently reflect the premium quality, brand values, and educational messaging of L’Oréal’s Luxe portfolio.

  • Collaborate with the Education team to ensure event content is accurate, engaging, and aligned with overall product training and brand storytelling.
