BOOTS – LEADING THE HEALTH AND BEAUTY MARKET

BOOTS

Boots The Chemist is the UK’s leading retailer of health and beauty products. It has more than 1,400 stores in the UK, from small pharmacies to large city centre department stores, and one in three people in the UK shops at Boots every week. It sells mainly medicines, toiletries, cosmetics, baby products. More than 50% of its sales are of Boots own-brand products.

INTERNATIONAL EXPANSION

Since 1997 Boots has expanded overseas and now it has more than 55 stores outside the UK. In Thailand, it has opened 52 stores since 1997 and it plans to open 100 more. In Tokyo, Boots has three stores at present and it believes its business there will expand in the future because Japan is the world’s second-largest market for health and beauty products in the world. In April 2000 it opened its first store in Taiwan.

FUTURE E-BUSINESS

Boots has created a new TV/ Internet company with Granada Media, Europe’s leading commercial TV production company. They hope it will become Britain’s no.1 e-business for health, beauty and fitness. It offers customers a choice of access – digital TV, PC, laptop or mobile phone. It will be a two-way, interactive channel so it will be possible for customers to get information about products and advice on all questions about health, beauty and fitness.
