disagree  Nikki Scott-Despaigne: "treatment" as suggested sounds medical. The choice of "particular" reads as a false friend for "particulier", "special"

The product has to give the client what she is looking for. Firstly choice and secondly, the feeling that she is someone special.

Another rendering, freer perhaps, but I believe more along the lines of what is common in such contexts.
