Guardian soars to new heights with OURSHOP partnership

  • OURSHOP and Guardian announce new partnership at klia2. 

  • AirAsia BIG Members can now earn & redeem BIG Points on all Health & Beauty products sold by Guardian on the OURSHOP Platform

  • Guardian becomes the first health and beauty dedicated retailer to partner with AirAsia’s rapidly expanding e-marketplace 

SEPANG, 27 September 2019 - OURSHOP, AirAsia’s online e-marketplace, has partnered with major health and beauty retailer Guardian to provide pre-purchase and collect services at klia2.

AirAsia BIG members can earn and redeem their BIG Points when shopping for Guardian products on OURSHOP, along with special offers across product ranges and bonus point incentives to help bring travellers closer to redeeming free flights on airasia.com.

The new partnership stands to provide significant growth opportunities for Guardian’s business with close to 32 million people choosing to arrive and depart klia2 per year. Beyond that, discussions are in place to extend the partnership beyond just the airport space. 

OURSHOP Head of Acquisition Hassan Choudhury said, “OURSHOP is pleased to partner with Guardian, as well as launch a new retail category that gives customers the opportunity to pre-purchase and collect at klia2. Having the freedom to explore our omni-channel experience and product selection presents a great opportunity for customers. It therefore makes perfect sense to partner an industry giant such as Guardian.”

Guardian Health And Beauty South East Asia CEO Soren Lauridsen said, “Guardian is delighted to be the first health and beauty retailer to partner with OURSHOP, providing yet another convenient channel to meet the changing demands of customers in the travel retail business. We have noticed a new and growing trend, whereby travelers are moving away from impulse purchasing at the airport to researching and shopping online for essential travel items.

“With Guardian’s extensive brand offerings, we are well positioned to enable those travelers to prepare well before their next trip, offering travel essential products from head-to-toe such as sun blocks, repellants, vitamins, lip balms, pharmaceuticals, personal care, cosmetics and many more. We look forward to serving even more customers at our store at klia2 and the shared success of this partnership.”

OURSHOP customers and AirAsia BIG Members can earn BIG Points on eligible Guardian purchases from today.
