CHINA. The China Eastern Airlines Duty Free Inflight brochure is a simple, straightforward publication that predictably majors on skincare and colour cosmetics and which provides passengers with highly detailed brand and product information.
The glossy publication 60-page publication features a red coloured cover bearing attractive Chinese designs. Its pages are dense with product pictures and information in four languages. Chinese consumers like detailed information on products, particularly with regard to cosmetics, and that need is underlined here.
It’s a basic, no-frills publication which cuts to the chase of selling – but a little more emphasis on the signposting would help. We suggested segmenting the categories better by colour using or the use of a panelled tag line by sector.
An online version of the publication can be viewed by travellers – and readers of The Moodie Report – at www.ce-airdutyfree.com
Half of the 60-page (including covers) publication is dedicated to cosmetics – skincare and colour cosmetics dominate, while there is a strong jewellery offer as well.
The big brands are out in force here – Estée Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Clinique, Dior, Chanel (8 pages), Lancôme, Biotherm, Giorgio Armani, Versace, YSL, L’Occitane, Anna Sui and L’Oréal Paris. There’s a welcome emphasis on newness (marked with a bright red logo), though the lack of page numbers makes navigation difficult.
The back cover features an advertisement for Rémy Martin XO Excellence.
