Beauty: An Immersive Journey for Consumers

Imagine closing your eyes and strolling through the beauty hall of your favorite department store. Picture the vibrant displays and the changing scents, those intoxicating fragrances that pull you in. This interaction, this fusion of sensory delights, is one of the things that draws many of us to beauty stores.

Beauty, once confined to what meets the eye, has evolved into an immersive journey. However, this encounter for most has become an everyday norm. Brands compete and strive to offer new and innovative ways to engage consumers to increase their sensory experience whether they are instore or online.

Scent, texture and product results

So, what about products where scent or more importantly results reigns supreme? Without physically smelling a fragrance you can only imagine what it will be like. Without using a serum on your skin for a week or more you won’t know if it works for you.

How many times have you seen someone in a store smell a skincare or haircare product to assist them in their purchasing decision? It happens all the time!

And what happens if scent is not the only star? We're talking beyond fragrances. What about shower gels with irresistible aromas that remind you of being in a spa, the shine from your hair after applying a treatment, the feel of your soft skin after you remove a face mask.

There are so many experiences that we need, feel, see and smell to understand a product and the impact it has on us.

So while technology takes centre stage in most of our lives, how else can we empower consumers, with personalised and efficient ways, to find the perfect beauty product match for them.

So how do consumers decide?

For most products the majority of us rely on reviews left by peers, recommendations from family and friends and influencers that we trust.

Apps like Beauty Buddy provide consumers with a place to read and watch trusted reviews by simply scanning the barcode of the product while they are in store with your product in their hand, helping them in that ‘will I?”, “won’t I?” moment.

What about Sampling?

A solution that is known to build a reciprocal relationship with consumers and increase brand awareness. Ideal for products that consumers just need to try so that they can fall in love with it.

Targeted Product Sampling is a strategic approach to connecting with consumers on a personal level. It enables you to collect reviews for online retailers, creates a buzz about your product as user-generated content appears on social networks.

And then there is word of mouth, who doesn’t love a free product and more importantly who doesn’t love talking about the fab new free product they just received.
