When a new brand, be it product or service, think of launching in the hair and beauty industry, they may be in for a few surprises. When looking at the United States especially, decisions and actions have shifted focus - where there may have been 250,000 salon owners making central decisions we now see over 1.2 million individuals making and influencing decisions.
Influence
Peer-to-peer influence, coupled with social media and educated consumers, have dramatically shifted how brands do business. New generations of consumers and the accessibility of information have shifted the 'hero dynamic' away from brands. Who are you talking to? Where do you find them? And who do they trust?
Innovation
Companies like Instagram and Shopify have disrupted sales and marketing teams and scrambled distribution channels. Industry-specific technology has become especially fragmented to service the evolution of the frictionless service consumers are accustomed to, making it increasingly difficult for B2B collaboration and local implementation.
Discover opportunities in the professional beauty industry through the lens of integrated media and accessibility. Discard old methods holding you back and unleash your potential when you identify with your audience and build lifelong brand equity.
