Joise de vivre encompasses Scorpio and Bourjois in global inflight partnership. 

In an exclusive partnership agreement, Bourjois Paris has appointed Scorpio Distributors Ltd as its global inflight distributor. At the same time, Bourjois is introducing a travel retail exclusive cosmetic range based on 12 months of collaboration between the two companies.

This exciting development adds to Scorpio’s mission to increase its portfolio selectively, with prestige and innovative companies and brands that share the same passion and desire to add value, fun and incremental revenue to its customers in the Travel Retail Market.

Group business development manager Alan Edwards commented: ‘Every generation over almost 150 years has adored Bourjois and we are honoured and delighted to represent a brand with such history and influence within the cosmetic industry.  All the products are of the highest quality. They are created and manufactured in France, in laboratories and factories that maintain the strictest standards of quality control, ensuring excellence in every item carrying the Bourjois logo.

‘There is a niche in the market for well priced quality branded colour cosmetics, and Bourjois has excelled itself in this area.  We are offering first class, innovative and fun product at fantastic prices – this will turn on many consumers, especially in the current economic climate.’

The new travel retail range has been developed after a careful study of the inflight cosmetics market, pinpointing gaps and clear areas for development – such as nail varnish and eye pencil packs. Using both iconic and new, innovative products from the Bourjois range, a selection of exclusive packs has been developed with the emphasis on creating fabulous ‘looks’ at superb value for money prices (all offer at least a 20% discount off the UK High Street and retail from under £20).

For example, for Eyes there is the Little Round Pot eyeshadow collection (two colour combinations) Each set contains the Award winning Little Round Pot Eyeshadows in three shades. Easy to blend and long lasting, all you need for to create a smoky eye look.

Bourjois’ Commercial Director Andrew Groom commented “We are delighted with our Partnership with Scorpio into the exciting, fast moving area of travel retail. Both companies share similar values and working together has been a real pleasure. The inflight kits represent great savings versus the high street which benefit the inflight customer, and offer airlines something refreshing and different. We have tried to understand the constraints and needs of airlines whilst providing the customer with a relevant and enticing offer that should hopefully prove to be irresistible!”

Says Scorpio group managing director Stuart McGuire: ‘When we entered the perfume and cosmetic market two years ago, our aim was to provide a new approach to the sales and distribution of the brands to the market.  This is not just about better management of brands currently in the market, it is also about bringing freshness and new product.  Bourjois has come up with a range that completely meets that requirement and it has been a delight to work with the team. Everyone has worked extremely hard to develop a concise travel retail range that will meet the specific and separate needs of our customer’s passengers whether in Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Europe or the Americas.  It is a very well thought out and executed offer tailored for each region and is an exciting development for us.  I would like to thank Alan and Annie from my team and all at Bourjois for co-ordinating so well on the project.  It was a proud moment for all of us to have such a positive feedback from the clients.’

Scorpio will be exhibiting Bourjois to potential customers at TFWA World Exhibition this October (Mediterranean Village P19).  For more information contact the Sales team at: salessupport@scorpdis.com

Scorpio's Humphrey the Camel takes desert adventure far and wide

Scorpio’s exclusive JUST range of plush is going from strength to strength and is now the company’s best-selling range through ground shops with growing distribution inflight..

One item doing really well since its launch in January 2009 is the JUST Humphrey the Camel  book and plush gift set. Originally launched for the Middle East region, the concept has been taken up by operators much further afield - including Canada and North America. As a result, Scorpio has now made this product available globally and has seen listings with Eraman Duty Free in Malaysia.

Retailing at $30, the pack comprises a 6” Humphrey the Camel plus 31 page hard-backed colour illustrated Desert Adventure book. Scorpio believes the book/plush gift set ticks many boxes. ‘It’s ideal as a gift and can also be put to good use on a long flight,’ says Group Sales Director Richard Kennedy.

A second book is now being considered.

Bigger stand for Scorpio reflects business growth and commitment to region

The Scorpio Group is more than doubling the size of its stand at TFWA Asia Pacific this year (K28) to 59sq m, reflecting the growth of its business and continued commitment to the region, despite the economic downtown. Coupled with new brand and product launches for both the inflight and travel retail (ground) divisions, this year’s show will underline Scorpio’s growing strength as a specialist supplier and distributor worldwide.

On the inflight side, the company will be introducing a new range of TravelEasy energy saving devices that will appeal to all environmentally-aware travellers. This includes the EcoButton, a clever gadget which connects to any laptop or desktop computer (via usb) and, at a click of the button, puts it into the lowest power setting. The energy saved is transmitted to the screen so that the operator can keep taps on how much power is being conserved. Also new is a wind-up radio, offering top rate signal, wind up shaver and wind up torch. Requiring no power source, these are ideal for use by backpackers, at the beach/pool, camping holidays etc, and any traveller looking for ‘green’ ideas. 

Also on the stand will be new collections for existing top selling brands such as Aviator, Esprit, Lacoste and Rotary Watches and Pierre Cardin Jewellery. Aviator Watches will be seen for the first time in new optional, ultra- lightweight packaging, designed with space and fuel economy in mind this box can offer a 59% fuel saving on long haul flights, while sophisticated new window-boxes for Pierre Cardin will also be launched.

Brand new from the highly successful Hello Kitty brand are sunglasses, while Scorpio’s inflight toy selection has been extended with the addition of a number of new plush items including Biggles Bear and a cuddly Tiger Plush along with a new Camel and story book concept.

For Scorpio Travel Retail Sales the brand new stand will allow a much wider range of products to be shown with new styles from Just plush, Gamze,Time Design and Aviator, along with the highly successful new free-standing point of sale unit for Pierre Cardin – first shown in Cannes last year.

Products from Original Additions and Transformulas skincare ranges can also be viewed. 

Stand contacts at TFWA Asia Pacific will be Group Managing Director Stuart McGuire, Group Sales Director Richard Kennedy, and Director of Sales Middle East/Asia Garry Stoner.

Scorpio was recently ‘Highly Commended’ as Supplier of the Year at the DFNI Global Awards. Says Richard Kennedy: ‘Being Highly Commended  as Supplier of the Year was a huge boost for Scorpio – still a small company when compared to  the other players nominated we were absolutely delighted to be even considered alongside such prestigious companies . Our mission is to provide real value and service to the industry and the award is indicative that we are achieving that goal.

‘For Scorpio, although we are all facing difficult times in travel retail, we will continue to look long term and believe that Asia Pacific is one of the most exciting growth regions. The key now is to provide the right type of product at the right price for the passengers that do continue to travel; we are confident that the Scorpio portfolio is accurately targeted to this need.’

Scorpio takes jewellery merchandising Into a new dimension

Jewellery and watch merchandising in airports is about to take a major step forward with the launch of the new Pierre Cardin stand-alone self-service unit from Scorpio Travel Retail Sales.

Pierre Cardin has long been a core brand in Scorpio Distributor’s inflight portfolio and now, with new product designs and sophisticated and chic packaging, it is being additionally targeted at airport shops internationally.

‘We felt that merchandising would be key to the brand’s success on the ground,’ says Scorpio group sales director Richard Kennedy. ‘Consequently we’ve spent over a year developing absolutely the right concept for the brand.’  The results already speak for themselves. ‘We have had just two preview meetings of the concept in the UK, before the official launch in Cannes, and have already secured orders from both operators for a total of 10 units,’ continues  Kennedy. ‘Plus, they have ordered back up stock for three months, which is really fantastic.

Specially designed to hold the new and innovative Pierre Cardin boxes, both sides of the unit hold jewellery and watch and jewellery sets. The shelving is spring loaded so that as items are removed another takes its place.

Images on the unit can be simply changed to promote  gifts for Xmas, Mothers Day, Valentines Day, plus seasonal collections for autumn, winter, spring and summer. The Pierre Cardin name is at the top of each side and has the logo at the base which holds additional stocks.

‘The gift sets have been designed exclusively for the unit and are therefore not available inflight or elsewhere on the ground,’ continues Richard Kennedy. ‘It’s a complete merchandising/sales/promotional unit which has been designed to maximise sales whilst taking up minimal space.

About Hello Kitty

Hello Kitty was born in 1974. Since then  it has become a worldwide known brand, symbolizing innocence and tenderness to girls, young women and famous people like Cameron Diaz, Rihanna or Mariah Carey!

The Fragrance is a fun contrast between the bitter of a red fruit basket, the freshness of the green nut and the softness of the musks and the woods. A touch of violet brings originality and sophistication to the fragrance.

Scorpio Expands with New Watch Contracts

 

Having recently announced an alliance with The Dreyfuss Group for Rotary watches, Scorpio Distributors is now delighted to announce that it has agreed exclusive inflight distribution for Karen Millen watches.

British designer Karen Millen now heads up one of the UK's most successful fashion and manufacturing houses with more than 50 shops in the UK, Paris, Monaco, the Middle East and Singapore. The Karen Millen watch collection, comprising eight different models, is now available inflight exclusively from Scorpio, with a listing already agreed on British Airways for the Padlock Watch.

Retailing onboard at around £69, the watch face is in the form of a silver padlock, attached to the one-size leather strap via a steel plate. The face has the Karen Millen name and sparkling stones set at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 hours.  'We're very pleased to be taking on this collection from a phenomenally successful designer, and believe the Padlock Watch will be particularly popular,' says group sales director Richard Kennedy.

Listings continue to grow for the very popular Kerala Trance Binery Watch, recently selected by British Airways and on-board from September at £99. This watch is unique in using LED lights that tell the time by binary function, the wearer needing to add up the lit numbers on both lines to calculate the time. Very much a fashion statement, the watch has a bold look in black with a black leather strap.

Accessories from Original Additions

UK-based travel-retail supplier and distributor Scorpio Distributors has signed a deal with beauty accessories house Original Additions (OA) to becoming the sole supplier of its beauty accessories to the airline industry from September.

OA UK sales director Mark Wood said: "Scorpio is a leading supply chain to this market and holds a wealth of experience, having built fantastic relationships across the world with leading international and national carriers. We have teamed up with Scorpio to increase our global airline business."

Scorpio will be concentrating on already successful OA products from its Eylure brand such as Eylure Heated Eyelash Curlers and The Collection lashes plus a new range called Vivid Lashes. Scorpio will be presenting the OA collections to airline buyers this autumn for summer 2009 listings.
