Now, Molise is catapulting her business to new heights by opening the company\u2019s first brick and mortar store at the prestigious Mall of Africa.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe online community really supported the brand, and we want to take it a step further by allowing them the opportunity to see, feel and touch their products of choice. Word of mouth is a powerful tool and we\u2019ve been fortunate enough to build a community because of this. As the team and I take on this new journey, we look forward to connecting with customers, fostering stronger relationship, and encouraging the learning culture.\u201d, says Mathebe.<\/p>\n<p>The decision to open a flagship store is testament to Molise\u2019s entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen, a skill honed during her 8 year tenure in the financial services sector. E-commerce in Africa, specifically South Africa, is growing rapidly but still lags behind physical stores. According to a report by Statista, e-commerce sales in South Africa were estimated to be worth around $4.4 billion in 2020, while retail sales in brick-and-mortar stores were estimated to be around $130 billion.<\/p>\n<p>Launching the Beauty on TApp store at the Mall of Africa also holds significance for the beauty space in South Africa. The industry is growing rapidly, with a significant portion of the market dominated by international brands with key local brands making inroads and stealing market share. The launch of a local retail brand like Beauty on TApp at such a prestigious location speaks to Mathebe\u2019s passion and desire to provide an affordable and accessible luxury experience. While there are already established players in the industry, there are still opportunities for new brands such as Pastry Skincare, Standard Beauty, Amazi Beauty and Love Kinks to solidify their market presence through Beauty on TApp\u2019s various retail platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The store promises to offer customers a premium shopping experience, designed with the modern shopper in mind, providing a space for customers to consult with expert in-store aestheticians and shop for their favourite local and international beauty products in an inclusive and stylish environment.<\/p>\n<p>About Beauty on TApp<br \/>Beauty on TApp is a 100% black woman owned beauty online store that specialises in retailing the best in largely local and international skincare, haircare and selfcare products. In 2015 they launched a mobile application that helped users search for beauty services in an area of their choice. Services listed on the application included make-up artists, braiders, skin therapists, etc. They also had a beauty brand directory which helped users search for niche and local beauty brands however this required that customers engage directly with the brands to purchase products. After engaging with app users, they noted a need for a platform that retails these brands on one platform but that also educates consumers on exactly what they are buying. The business then pivoted to an e-tailing platform in 2016 to provide consumers with a one stop beauty shop with efficient, convenient and quality customer service \u2013 including in some instances \u2013 same day delivery. The business is now further expanding into brick-and-mortar stores.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mypr.co.za\/contact\/featured\/\">CLICK HERE to submit your press release to MyPR.co.za for free<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <span class=\"post-views-icon dashicons dashicons-chart-bar\"><\/span> <span class=\"post-views-label\">Press Release Views since 1 July 2022:<\/span> <span class=\"post-views-count\">28<\/span> <\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-pagination pagination\">Pages: <span class=\"post-page-numbers current\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>1<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/beauty-on-tapp-launches-its-flagship-store-in-mall-of-africa\/2\/\" class=\"post-page-numbers\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Page <\/span>2<\/a><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\">Source: MyPR.co.za<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Johannesburg, April 2023 \u2013 Mathebe Molise is the pinnacle of modern excellence as a black South African woman making a name for herself in the beauty industry with her successful e-commerce business, Beauty on TApp. The company, which was founded in 2015, is a deliberately curated one-stop-shop for in demand, affordable beauty products, providing customers [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":257876,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[3332,9021],"tags":[3257],"class_list":{"0":"post-257875","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-johannesburg-south-africa","8":"category-mypr","9":"tag-mypr","10":"entry"},"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/beauty-on-tapp-launches-its-flagship-store-in-mall-of-africa.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257875","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=257875"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/257875\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/257876"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=257875"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=257875"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.myza.co.za\/press\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=257875"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
