In Australian retail, the time has come to be highly competitive.  Competition is good for all businesses and customers.  While we don’t recommend a quick race to the bottom, if you are not offering discount cosmetics in your pharmacies, it is most likely, that your competitors are.

As the discount, or warehouse, pharmacy model continues to grow, more and more of your customers are hunting down these ridiculously low cosmetics prices.  It is what the public wants and there has been a considerable shift in the way your customers shop for their cosmetics.  Shoppers are now more savvy that ever, and they deserve the best prices, but not at the expense of your profit margin. 

Valuable sales and customer loyalty is being lost as your customers ‘try’ shopping with other competitors in the area either due to front of store clearance bins that catch their eye as they are walking by, or visiting in response to an advertising catalogue.

Additionally, more and more or your pharmacies customers are heading online and you can’t blame them.  Therefore the ONLY way to compete with online sales is to match them! 

Your front of store should be driving customers into your store.   We can offer you brands like Revlon, Maybelline, LÓreal, Max Factor and many others that you can retail at well under normal retail prices.  To keep your profit margin as high as possible, you also make at least 100% on all of the products.

This is the highest possible return for your investment and your customers will love you for it and keep coming back to see what is new.

We offer you discounted brand name cosmetics, so you can differentiate your pharmacy from your local competitors, while allowing you to successfully compete with deep discounters established in the discount marketplace. 

We encourage you to put 100% mark up or a 50% margin on all clearance stock.  As you are aware, this is a lot higher margin than is currently possible on most of your floor stock.

If we take a typical opening order of $2000, containing 15 x 24 packs, (totally 360 units of individual cosmetics which is a combination of $3 - $5 products and $10 products covering each of the brands and products) and place 100% markup on all of the products, this will return you pharmacy $2000 worth of profit in one month.

Based on the following assumption, if one in 10 of your customers take up one of the discounted cosmetic offers at your front of store, and you have 100 customers enter the store daily this means that 10 customers a day are purchasing 10 units of clearance stock from you every day.  This returns you an additional $100 to $200 in daily sales turnover, depending on whether they purchase a $10 or $20 item from you.  This results in $50 - $100 profit each day.

After a week this is $700 - $1400 turnover ($350 - $700 profit) 70 units of stock

After a month this is $3000 - $6000 turnover ($1500 - $3000 profit) 300 units of stock

The 2^nd month, you can purchase more stock or what particular stock lines worked the best for you.

For smaller or less busy stores, you can still see what the potential is with clearance sale stock.

Yes.  You don’t need to already be selling these brands to take advantage of the weekly specials or any other stock listed on our website.

We deal with pharmacies all around Australia and find that Revlon, Maybelline and LÓreal are the best selling brands. 

All brands work well in different areas and demographics. 

In these economic times, when your customers are being price savvy, it really comes down to being price competitive.  All of the brands we sell work well with the right price point.

Our suggestion is to put a 100% mark up on the stock.  Double your money!  Doing this ensures you are making great profits as well as offering your customers stock at half of the normal retail prices. 

Based on retailer feedback, the Maybelline and Revlon mascara walk out the door at the right selling price.  It is no wonder when you can sell them at $9.95, coming in at under 50% of your competitors and still doubling your money!  So make sure you add some of these to your shopping cart.

All lip products and foundations go exceptionally well also.

Due to the extremely low wholesale cost price of the products, there is a good mix of products that do well in stores.  This is mainly due to what your pharmacy can retail the products for. 

A good idea is to start with one pack of each of the product lines a customer would use.   For example, you could start with a variety of brands with a 24 pack of mascara, lipstick, lipgloss, lipliners, eyeliners, foundation, eyeshadow and blush or bronzer.  This starts you off with a good selection and lets you see what products and brands are going to work best in your area and suit your customers.    

If you are unsure of what packs to select, we have developed the Basic, Standard and Premium Starter Packages ($1000, $2000 and $5000 respectively).  These packages are based upon the best sellers data and feedback.  They are made up of specific products and brands from our sale 24 packs.

Once you see a demand for a particular brand or product you can easily manage your stock levels with our easy to use, online reorder system.  You just log into your account and reorder what you need.  This gives you the flexibility to feel at ease with the financial side of your business and stock levels.

It is really the difference of financial outlay and space requirements. 

You no longer need to outlay a large amount of money to sell brand name cosmetics.  We find that some pharmacies and retail stores don’t want or need to outlay the large initial cost, anywhere from $10,000 and upwards to sell high profile brands in their store.  In other cases, some stores don’t have the available space. 

We are increasingly hearing from pharmacy owners that they are much more comfortable knowing they can select which product lines they want to stock in each of the brands.  Owners are telling us that they don’t want to worry when a new product line is released by a brand, with pressure to stock every new product line released as sometimes, new product lines may not be a good sellers. 

Owners have concerns that they are only moving particular stock from their existing range on their wall units.

These reasons are why The Cosmetic Department offers an easy ordering system, which enables pharmacies to order as they go.  This gives them the flexibility to feel at ease with the financial side of their business and stock levels.

We increase our product offerings and brands in response to your feedback of what is working for your customers and pharmacy.  Our pharmacy clients custom build their discount cosmetic range in response to what is selling and what customers are seeking to buy at discount prices.

The Cosmetic Department is an importing and wholesaling company. 

You benefit from the many years we have spent developing relationships, dealing and negotiating with our suppliers in the United States and United Kingdom.  Our buyer travels to the United States and United Kingdom regularly sourcing the latest stock at the very best prices.  We then pass these savings on to you for your customers.

We also look after all of the importing and Australian Customs regulations and procedures.  We have spent several years conducting research and legal work to ensure we comply with Australian Law, Australian Customs and ACCC requirements.

Fortunately, we are very lucky as Australian business owners, and as an Australian business owner, you are free to purchase stock from whoever you choose to do business with.  The Trade Practices Act 1974, which as of January 1^st, 2011 became the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, ensures that as an Australian business this freedom is possible. 

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) promotes competition and fair trade in the market place to benefit consumers, businesses and the community.  Its primary responsibility is to ensure that individuals and businesses comply with the Commonwealth competition, fair trading and consumer protection laws.

The ACCC also ensures that businesses do not engage in Anti-competitive conduct.  For more information on this topic you can visit the ACCC website.

The Cosmetic Department is not affiliated with or sponsored by any of the brands we sell.  We are like any other Australian business and fairly compete in the Australian marketplace.

No.  More than 90% of the sale stock offered is currently for sale on the typical big branded makeup stands in exactly the same shades and colours that you would see in any pharmacy or retail store.

None if the stock is at all old or expired stock.  These products are sourced from overseas suppliers and in some cases a particular product may stop being sold overseas, but is still offered for sale in Australia.

Occasionally some stock we sell, may be discontinued in Australia.  This means it is well suited for your clearance and sale bins in your store.  When you look at your per unit cost price of around $3 and $4, your customers are happy to pick up bargain products like this.  It just means that your customers may not be able to purchase this exact product from your store next visit.  By this time, you will have seen the benefits of your clearance sales and profits and replenished your sale bins.  Your customers will be more than happy to buy another well priced product from you. 

All stock is new and has never been used or tested. 

On a very small percent of products (only a couple of sale packs that we offer from time to time on this webiste) may have some sale stickers on them from clearance outlets.  If at any time we are offering this type of stock, this will always be in the product listing.  This by no way means that they are unsuitable for sale in your pharmacy.  All of these products are heavily discounted for quick clearance and in turn quick resale in your store.

There are never any price stickers on the stock.   

With our wholesale cost prices, these products are an absolute bargain and you will find it hard to find better prices anywhere on the internet.  If you do, we would like to know.  We are highly competitive on pricing and always like to ensure that we are offering the most competitive prices to our customers.

Yes.  All products are 100% genuine and authentic brands.

There are no immitations or non genuine goods sold on this website.  It is illegal in Australia to sell non genuine goods as this infringes on the Trade Mark owners rights.

We can offer you wholesale brand name cosmetics at such heavily discounted prices because we buy in bulk from overseas and pass the saving on to you.  You benefit from the many years we have spent developing relationships, dealing and negotiating with our suppliers in the United States and United Kingdom.

We also don’t have retails outlets that we need to pay huge leasing fees and we have a selected few sales representatives who conduct sales over the phone and internet, removing most of the large costs associated with a retail operational business.

We often hear that the prices are too good to be true. 

In fact, all products are exactly the same as the same products for sale here on the Australian marketplace. 

Under no circumstances do the products have any foreign language written anywhere on the product.  

All products are 100% genuine and authentic brands.

Due to the nature of clearance stock and our extremely low wholesale costs to you, all sales are final.  In the lead up to your purchase we are here to assist you should you need any further infomation or need to ask any questions before making your purchases.

We do not sell faulty or damaged goods, however if any goods were found to be faulty or damaged, a full refund or credit would be awarded.

We must be advised in writing within 7 days of receiving the goods.

Under the Competition and Consumer Act 2010, governed by the ACCC, there are certain requirements for when a retailer does and does not need to offer a refund.
