M&S to reopen with contact-free bra fitting

// M&S clothing & home stores will feature contact-free bra fitting services when they reopen from April 12
// M&S launches omnichannel service with bra fitters ready to welcome customers again in-store or online
// M&S also rolls out Pay With Me service in lingerie fitting rooms, a digital on-the-spot payment solution

Marks & Spencer has announced that its clothing and home stores will feature contact-free bra fitting services as it prepared to fully reopen once lockdown is lifted from April 12.

The high street stalwart added that the service will also be available for customers on its website via an online bra fit offer after initial trials of the service during lockdown.

M&S said adapting its bra fitting service to include the option of the online platform was part of wider plans from its lingerie department to offer customers “more relevant products and services for a post-Covid world”.

New research shows 65 per cent of M&S lingerie customers were excited to return to the shops. The retailer said it surveyed around 1000 customers.

M&S added that the Covid-19 pandemic has demonstrated that while customers have adapted to online shopping, for many there was still a preference for in-store shopping for this category.

Meanwhile, the retailer is also improving the in-store service at 50 of its bigger stores by utilising the Pay with Me service that was first trialled over Christmas in M&S Food stores.

Pay with Me means during a bra fit appointment, customers can purchase their lingerie without even visiting a till – they pay via card or Apple Pay on one of M&S’s handheld payment devices.

“I want every woman to be confident she can buy her bras from M&S – whoever she is, however she shops, whatever her needs,” M&S lingerie director Laura Charles said.

“This means every customer needs to be able to access not just our amazing products but our lingerie expertise.

“Our new and improved bra fit service means customers have the choice to talk to our fabulous team not just in-store, but also from the comfort of their home.

“And when they’re in store we’re making it easier & more convenient than ever with pre-booked appointments and our new digital payment option – Pay with Me.”

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...

"Since opening our doors in 2017, we have pushed for the best guest-experience possible — that's why our dough is 100 percent naturally leavened, that's why we have a purpose-built 400-square-foot pick-up and delivery area, and that's why we’ve launched a direct-to-consumer subscription-based ecommerce platform,” said Founder & CEO Ali Khan Lalani. “In 2020, providing the best guest experience means General Assembly Pizza has to be more than a restaurant. I'm proud to say that after almost six months of planning, many roadblocks, and countless pivots — all while maintaining our day-to-day restaurant operatio...
