Business plan

TouchUp is a premium beauty vending machine business that provides instant access to beauty and personal care essentials through smart, self-service kiosks located in high-traffic areas across Lebanon. Our initial launch will focus on strategic locations such as shopping malls, airports, hotels, universities, beach clubs, and entertainment venues where consumers frequently need last-minute beauty products. The machines will offer a curated selection of makeup, skincare, sunscreen, feminine care products, fragrances, hair accessories, and travel-size essentials from trusted local and international brands. Customers will be able to purchase products quickly and conveniently through a fully cashless payment system. The first phase of the business will focus on launching and validating one flagship machine in Beirut. Once performance, demand, and profitability are established, additional machines will be deployed in other premium locations throughout Lebanon. TouchUp's competitive advantage lies in its unique combination of convenience, premium branding, strategic placement, and carefully selected product assortment. By bringing beauty products directly to consumers exactly when they need them, TouchUp creates a modern retail experience while generating recurring revenue through product sales and future brand partnerships.
