The company launched both a seasonal catalogue and a website in 2006. In November 2006, Bath and Body Works launched its first television commercial advertisement. Net Sales as of January 28, 2006 were $2,285,000,000, significantly higher than all other Limited Brands, except Victoria's Secret.

The Stores

There are 1,600 Bath & Body Works locations nationally, including seven outlet stores. Bath & Body Works stores are broken into three categories: Core, Side by Side, and Flagship. Core stores carry the most basic Bath & Body Works products along with selected White Barn Candle Company home fragrance products, Henri Bendel products, and C.O. Bigelow products. Side by Side stores are stores where a Bath & Body Works and White Barn Candle Company (BBW's home fragrance division) are connected and can be shopped together. Flagship stores carry extended lines as well as third-party brands and offer far more variety than either of the other two categories.

Bath & Body Works has made a conscious effort to change the way customers feel about personal care products and the stores from which they are purchased. Bath & Body Works emphasizes themes of nature, health, beauty, and well-being, promoting itself as an apothecary-type shop.
