Want to know the secret formula to making a beauty product succeed? It’s all in the marketing. Here are 5 winning ingredients that will help sell your beauty product!
A unique brand
A unique brand can help your product to stand out. Start by coming up with a brand name – think about words that express the unique appeal of your product and make sure they are memorable. Next, consider a logo and brand color scheme. This logo and color scheme should also capture the unique essence of your brand. Make sure to compare competitor products and avoid using any elements that are overly similar to competitor brands. This beauty branding guide offers some more tips.
Enticing packaging
Your packaging needs to entice people into buying your product. On top of making sure your logo and brand colors are salient, consider other ways to make your packaging stand out such as using unusual packaging shapes, creative cut-outs or textured/holographic labels. When it comes to e-commerce packaging, pay more attention to the interior packaging in order to bring excitement to the unboxing process. Features like tissue paper can help cushion your product and give your product a luxurious feel. You can even spray fragrant scents into the box to create a multi-sensory experience.
The right sponsors
Influencer marketing has proven to be a key success strategy for beauty brands. When consumers see their favorite influencers using certain products, it encourages them to try these products. There are many beauty bloggers, vloggers, and social media personalities out there that you can connect with via influencer platforms. When targeting influencers, it’s essential to make sure that their audience is the same as yours. Be prepared to spend time hunting down niche influencers if you’re trying to appeal to a niche audience. For example, if you’ve created a concealer aimed at those with vitiligo, see if you can find any bloggers or vloggers that have vitiligo who may create content aimed at those with this condition.
Free samples
Consumers love freebies. In the beauty product market, free samples can be particularly effective at getting people to buy products, because they allow consumers to test the product first. On top of sending free samples to influencers, consider linking up with other companies that can include your free samples with their product. You can also attend beauty trade shows or set up a pop-up stall where you give away free samples along with information about your brand. Doing this will soon help spread the word of your product.
Retailer support
Finding retailers who are able to stock and sell your product for you can be an important sales strategy. These established retailers can help to provide exposure and help you attract customers. To get retailers to stock your product, you will need to give a convincing pitch so that they are willing to place an order. Consider starting with local independent stores and working your way up to bigger retailers. Be wary that some retailers may want exclusive rights to sell your product – such offers are generally only worth accepting if the retailer is willing to place a large order.
Best of luck with your product! I hope these tips help.
