have been browsing the online stores
of both major phamarcy/cosmed chain
Guardian (a.k.a. Mannings) & Watsons
yet still buying in-store
as I go for walk almost everyday anyway
and I do enjoy the shopping process
was thinking to add a
moisturizing product to
my skin care routine
HADA LABO came into mind, of course
and I bought a sample size hydrating gel
from Guardian last week and
it works perfectly fine
14g wouldn’t last me for long
and it’s about time to go
for a proper can of product soon
so i was browsing on
Guardian / Watsons / and their
official brand online store again
wondering if I should add another
UV protection day cream
into my routine so that
I can avoid sunblock yet
without skipping UV protection
then happened to find that
the hydrating gel is
on 30% sales at Watsons
so i decided to ransack for
my Watsons member card which
i have abandoned for ages
and linked it to the online account
in order to enjoy some member privileges
to found that in fact i have
already activated the online account
long long time ago
frankly speaking
i am more of a Guardian person
when it comes to cosmed shopping
because I found the image of Guardian
being more positive in terms of
selling serious supplements
as compared to the
fanciful cosmetics at Watsons
despite recommendations from
my sister that Watsons gives
awesome free gifts for purchase
i have been shopping at Guardian, still
and today
i have been turned into a
Watsons customer overnight
thanks to the awesome
online shopping experience
the endless list of free gifts
on top of additional 12% discount
having added a pack of
contact lenses solution
this appeared in my cart as a gift
and what makes it different
from other gifts is that
it appeared as an item in cart
on top of on the promo list below
my final bill
Kotex shawl?
interesting..
it instantly feels like Christmas already
with these gifts which
I look forward to more than
the products I bought
on top of gifts + discount
their delivery is super consumer friendly
home delivery for purchase above RM 150
Guardian offers the same too, I guess
there’s Click & Collect option for
self in-store collection
i checked all the four branches near me
and they are all available for this option
i saw this in my email too
in the morning
the funny thing is
I was not even subscribed to
the e-newsletter from Watsons
sorry Guardian, next time maybe
it’s scary!
and I had just downloaded their app
app is the one killer weapon
which will decide if a customer
is going to return especially
for someone like me who
don’t really download app
unless it’s really necessary
and will immediately delete if
I find it not really helpful
well.. the interface looks
quite okay to me
at the first sight
