SALES CHANNEL
Long a challenger of conventions governing the cosmetics business, DHC has taken the revolutionary approach of selling its products in convenience stores. It has also expanded its sales network to include mass merchandisers, drug stores, and variety stores, earning a strong reputation for products in categories including skincare, makeup, men's skincare, and health foods while focusing on developing products suited to each sales channel.
DHC's direct management stores meet the needs of customers who want to try out products before buying. These stores provide the attentive service only direct management stores can deliver, with specialist advisors on hand to address concerns and questions about beauty and health. In its stores, DHC strives to create an atmosphere that feels comfortable and familiar to both first-time customers and long-time fans.
DHC has continued to expand its network of direct management stores since opening its first in 2003, creating an increasingly familiar real-world presence for a company whose mission is to support health and beauty.

These include 24-hour toll-free telephone ordering with operator assistance, toll-free automated telephone ordering, and ordering by fax.
