### Last Chance for Valuable Beauty Discounts: Why Timing Matters As Amazon's Holiday Beauty Haul winds down, the opportunity to access significant savings on essential beauty products diminishes, underscoring the importance of strategic purchasing. The end of such sales presents a critical juncture for consumers, especially when top-tier items, like the Dyson Corrale Hair Straightener, are priced at $400, reduced from $500. Factually, beauty sales during peak seasons are optimal for acquiring high-quality skincare, haircare, and makeup products at reduced prices, ensuring consumers can maintain their beauty regimen without compromising on quality or cost. This event is particularly relevant to industry professionals and consumers alike, offering insights into market trends and consumer behavior as it highlights leading brands such as Clinique, Olay, and Dove achieving competitive markdowns. Considering market volatility, is strategic purchasing in peak sales windows becoming essential for both consumers and retailers in balancing budget and quality? How will seasonal discounts impact brand loyalty and consumer spending habits in the beauty industry?

In 2023, global #beauty market #retail sales grew to $446 billion, up 10% from 2022. By 2028, we expect the beauty sector to reach $590 billion, with an annual growth rate of 6%. But these headline growth figures only tell part of the story. While beauty managed to post double-digit growth last year, much of that was attributable to price increases rather than volume gains.   Check out our latest analysis, which dives into where and how we expect the global beauty market to grow: https://lnkd.in/eXRm5kSS   #McKinsey

The Walmart Birkin or “Wirkin” has set off a discussion about status, luxury fashion and brand gatekeeping. Compared to four- and five-figure designer bags, beauty products are often referred to as accessible luxuries. Still, many remain too expensive for the masses. That’s where dupe brands like MCoBeauty have come in, offering replicates of covetable prestige products (Charlotte Tilbury’s Hollywood Flawless Filter and Dior’s Addict Lip Oil Glow, for example) for a fraction of the price. On social media, product hunters have become adept at sniffing out the best dupes, and the dupe brands have taken off. MCoBeauty is the No. 1 mass-market makeup brand in Australia, and now it’s entered stores in the United States. Target has rolled it out to 1,200 Target locations with 100 products under $15. The launch follows its arrival at Kroger, where it has quickly become one of the top three cosmetics brands. The retailers' embrace of dupes is controversial in the beauty industry, where many detest dupe brands riding on the creativity of others, but data has shown dupes have grown the market.

The beauty battle on everyones radar: Where will rhode skin set up shop? We dissect the pro's and cons of SEPHORA vs Ulta Beauty, while we pop the popcorn and get ready to watch these beauty titans fight it out! #rhode #sephora #ulta #beauty #beautybrands #beautyretail #beautytitans

Clarkston's retail and beauty industry expert, Sarah Covill Broyd spoke to Beauty Independent about the expected retail transition of rhode skin. See her quote below, and the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eyay-9sD Hailey Bieber is playing perfectly into consumer trends with #Rhode. She is capitalizing on ‘#minimalbeauty,’ a trend that she helped drive with her own look. In addition to the minimalist look, her #minimalist packaging aligns with the overall feel of the brand. Further building on that minimalism, she carefully crafts her ingredients and creates transparency with the products on her website. Her brand’s price points and target audience suggest that the brand will do better at a higher price point in retail. From a brick-and-mortar perspective, Sephora will align better from a shopper and brand positioning standpoint than Ulta, which tends to carry a wider product variety and lower price point. Bieber has driven interest and excitement through social media about her brand, and the anticipation of a broader #launch is growing. But, should she go into retail right away? Maybe not. Her platform and her ability to influence is substantial. Her self-image and brand carry enough weight to continue to drive consumers to a website and sell direct to consumer in the short term. Fully launching into #retail, with high anticipation, but without clear supply and demand signals, brings a lot of risk. If out of stocks occur early, younger in-store shoppers may grow impatient and buy another brand while in store. I’d personally use Bieber’s website as a test ground to launch her portfolio of products to see which ones are most popular and to stabilize supply and demand. She has an opportunity to continue to drive engagement on her website and then promote a second launch once the company is more mature and stable enough to go into retail. In addition to building strong relationships with her consumers, she will build better relationships with #retailers when getting on (and staying on) the shelf. #beautyindustry #skincareindustry #beauty #skincare
