While Millennials have proven to be a marketing challenge for many industries, the beauty industry is booming. Millennials’ love of digital media and their strong desire to look their best in their selfies combine to fuel a bona fide beauty boom. The beauty industry, especially high-end beauty products and processes, has been growing steadily, according to research from The NPD Group.
And although digital media is responsible for increasing the desire to look great, when it comes to beauty products and processes, women of all ages prefer brick and mortar options. That’s great news for salons, beauty retailers and cosmetic enhancement providers across the Delaware Valley. Women still want to get beautiful the old-fashioned way – in person, feeling pampered, and interacting with real people.
How do you make sure women in Delaware, Maryland and Southern Pennsylvania find your business and buy your products? Online marketing is one of the most effective ways to reach this lucrative consumer.
Social Media Increase Brand Reach
Consider your social media channels, especially Instagram, as virtual shopping experiences. Show how great clients will look after using your products and services. Take shots of your products or feature new arrivals. Post photos of your cosmetics, hair products or accessories. Take selfies with customers or encourage customers to post their own selfies. Get even more reach for your posts with paid social media ad campaigns from FMDi. We can increase the reach of your best social media post tenfold, or we can create ads for you that will drive more beauty clients in your door.
SEO and SEM Boost Your Search Engine Presence
By now, most of us realize that potential beauty clients and customers start their searches online. They research 
products, read reviews and make purchases, often with just a few taps of a finger. They want to find good options fast. If you want to get in front of these people, you’ll need to spend time increasing your search engine ranking. In the marketing world, we call this process Search Engine Optimization, or SEO. FMDi helps businesses all over the Delaware Valley increase their search engine rankings. Unless you show up on the first page of a search, it’s unlikely that new prospects will ever see your business’s name.
Because first page placement is so important, and because even the best SEO sometimes takes months to fully integrate with search engines, we recommend that beauty businesses supplement SEO efforts with SEM, or Search Engine Marketing. FMDi can place paid ads for your business within search engines to ensure your business pops up sooner.
The Beauty of Email Marketing
Women of all ages appreciate getting relevant offers for products that they care about. Conversely, they hate getting spam. That’s why it’s so important to use a great email marketing team. Professionals can help you create effective emails with interactive features, and send those emails to highly targeted lists. Whether you’re a salon or a gym, a beauty retailer or a cosmetics services provider, when you follow best practices and use the right resources, email marketing can become one of the most effective tools in your marketing arsenal.
