Scorpio Distributors secured its place as the global leader in inflight distribution when it was named Best Inflight Agent/Distributor at ARC (Airline Retail Conference) 2012 Asia-Pacific. This follows the company being awarded the same accolade at the global ARC event in London last summer.
The Best Inflight Agent/Distributor award was voted online by delegates attending the Singapore event in the run up to the Conference. The award was presented at the ARC 2012 Asia-Pacific Gala Dinner on Tuesday February 7th.
Said Scorpio Group Sales & Marketing Director Richard Kennedy: ‘We’re thrilled to have won this award tonight. Following on from winning Best Inflight Agent/Distributor at the London event last summer, this award really underlines Scorpio’s commitment in Asia-Pacific.’
Scorpio used the ARC event to launch its new LipSmackers and Di Palomo products to airline buyers in the region. LipSmackers is a range of fun, creative and highly popular lip balms in multipacks for the travel retail market. Each balm has its own distinctive scent and flavour – including Coca Cola, Sprite, Fanta and other household names. Commented Kennedy: “We have already had a tremendous response to LipSmackers and this continued this week. It is going to be a big hit in inflight.”
Also new and notable from Scorpio is its new Di Palomo range of bath and body products. The travel retail exclusive range offers three ranges of indulgent fragrance, bath and body products: Wild Fig & Grape, White Grape with Aloe, and Orange Blossom. All are presented with a unique story which draws on vivid recollections of time spent in Italy. Delightful packaging and complex fragrances are designed to transport the consumer to the scene of inspiration, from a Tuscan farmhouse in the early morning to an evening walk through orange groves.
'We have been knocked out by the response from airlines to Lipsmackers and Di Palomo at ARC. The interest has been phenomenal for both product lines,” says Kennedy.
Also new at the show was Skin Doctors ™, a range of cosmeceutical products which bridge the gap between traditional cosmetics and cosmetic surgery by offering professional strength, scientifically based skincare treatments. Offered exclusively by Scorpio Distributors inflight and to ground travel retail stores, the range has a premium look and feel in silver and white boxes for stand out on shelf. The offer includes Vein Away™, Eyetuck, Instant Facelift, Instant Eyelift, Superfacelift, YouthCell, Face Serum and Bio Serum.
Notes to editors: Created in Sydney, Australia, in 1997, Skin Doctors™ first product – Vein Away ™– became the number one selling pharmacy cream that year. Expanded to international markets in 2001, Skin Doctors TM is now distributed in 48 countries globally.
