Kohl’s on Tuesday announced the introduction of Curated by Kohl’s, a new selection of products from emerging brands available in more than 50 Kohl’s stores and Kohls.com beginning mid-October 2019.
Powered by Facebook, Curated by Kohl’s will bring a new assortment of brands into multiple departments across select Kohl’s stores and Kohls.com on an ongoing basis, giving Kohl’s customers the opportunity to shop and discover emerging brands. Beginning in 2020, Kohl’s will partner with Facebook on brand curation, identifying and engaging with brands that have built a strong online community on the social media platform.
“We’re incredibly excited to launch Curated by Kohl’s as a way to surprise and delight Kohl’s customers with a continuous stream of new, relevant merchandise, and as an avenue to bring new customers to Kohl’s,” said Doug Howe, Kohl’s chief merchandising officer. “Furthermore, Curated by Kohl’s provides the opportunity for us to showcase innovation, connect with digital retailers, and team up differently with best-in-class digital platforms like Facebook.”
“We’re excited to collaborate with Kohl’s in a new way to identify and connect with emerging brands that have fostered a community and grown a business on our platform,” said Doug Frisbie, director of North America marketing, Facebook.
The Curated by Kohl’s assortment will be refreshed quarterly with new, unexpected products across multiple categories which may include apparel, accessories and home.
Customers will discover these new brands within their respective departments throughout the store and on Kohls.com. In addition, customers shopping Curated by Kohl’s can take advantage of Kohl’s many conveniences and values, including shopping via the Kohl’s App, the option to Buy Online Pick Up In Store and the ability to earn Kohl’s Cash, a Kohl’s-only value that can be earned on anything or anywhere customers ship – in store, at a kiosk or online.
