Widespread revolution in the rapidly changing beauty marketplace requires a new set of marketing strategies to be successful. Brands need to decide how and where cosmetics are best marketed including through digitally-driven technologies, and by creating customer “experiences” at the point of sale, all the while dealing with widely varied margins and new ways of optimizing sales team results. Consumers can now engage with a company in a physical store, on an online website or mobile app, through a catalog, or through social media. Current market research technologies provide faster feedback and allow a broader understanding of what works and what doesn’t, yet the scene is constantly shifting. New science-based approaches have emerged to attract targeted, more-educated consumers that help brands stay current while growing their revenues each year. Michael Hawley is a dynamic business strategist and customer experience architect with a broad base of skills who will share how to align customer experience across channels while building margins, and inspiring teamwork.
