Mercadona's Sol de Janeiro Dupes: A Shopper's Experience

Mercadona's Sol de Janeiro Dupes: A Shopper's Experience In a recent video posted on social media, a beauty influencer documented her experience trying to find tester products of the new Sol de Janeiro dupes at a Mercadona store in Spain. The video quickly gained traction, highlighting a common frustration among consumers: the lack of readily available testers for new products. "I went to Mercadona in my town and, of course, I went to try the testers," explains Blanca Berrocal, the influencer in the video. "But there were no testers!" She had to ask a store employee for help in accessing the product to review it for her audience. Berrocal's experience underscores a growing concern among shoppers. Many retailers are reducing or eliminating testers due to hygiene concerns and cost-cutting measures. This can lead to shoppers being hesitant to purchase products without first trying them. The incident sparked a conversation online about the importance of testers and the impact of their absence on consumer confidence. The positive outcome is that the store employee was helpful, providing Berrocal with samples to review. This positive interaction, despite the initial challenge, offers a small moment of hope for shoppers who value the opportunity to test before they buy.
