SET YOUR BEAUTY PLAYBOOK ON FIRE, ACCORDING TO EXPERTS. Exponent Founder Liz Whitman took the stage last month at the WWD LAB Beauty Event to share her know-hows when it comes to launching a beauty brand today. Liz shared three important tips: (1) Identify meaningful product differentiation in a cluttered beauty landscape. "In Exponent's case, we invest in patented, clinical skincare technology." (2) Have a multifaceted distribution strategy. "Brands need to broaden their focus on where you have a strategic advantage. For Exponent, we are a clinical skincare line so we actually have a pro line we sell through professional channels, like spas, med spas and dermatologists offices." (3) Hone in on customer loyalty. "I'm talking about that gobsmacking-make-my-heart-soar, I want you to yodel about your brand from every mountain top type of customer passion. Exponent's anti-aging serum has been its hero. She's seeing real results, so she's coming back for more. And now we will broaden our clinical skincare technology to take care of her additional concerns."

Imagine taking a brand that's gone global with dish scrubbing smiley face sponges and pairing it with a giant in the beauty industry. Sounds a little weird, right? That's exactly what's happening with Scrub Daddy, Inc. and Benefit Cosmetics. They've mixed it up by collaborating with a "POREfessional" skin care kit that's all about keeping both your face and your space clean. 🧼 Let's break down why this is the collab we didn't know we needed but absolutely do: 🔸 Brand Evolution: Scrub Daddy is stepping out of the kitchen and into your bathroom with style. This move introduces them to the beauty space, showing that they're not just about cleaning dishes but also about supporting your skincare routine. 🔸 Leveraging Loyalty: Benefit Cosmetics' loyal followers trust their products for top-notch beauty solutions. By integrating Scrub Daddy into this trusted circle, they're providing an easy entry for Scrub Daddy into the homes (and beauty routines) of a whole new audience. 🔸 Market Expansion and Revenue Stream: The sold-out microfiber towel marks Scrub Daddy's successful test in a new product category, revealing a promising new revenue stream and potential for brand diversification into personal care. 🔸 Clever Theming: The campaign ties together the cleanliness of your living space and your skin with the catchy hook, “Spring-clean your pores – and your place, too!” It’s smart, relatable, and perfectly tailored to appeal to anyone who loves a clean space as much as a clear complexion. 🔸 Creating Buzz: This unique pairing naturally sparks interest and excitement, driving engagement through its novelty and the surprise factor. It's the kind of partnership that gets people talking, sharing, and trying out products. This isn't just a collaboration; it's a bold statement in the world of brand partnerships, proving that sometimes, the most unexpected duos can lead to the most exciting results! https://lnkd.in/gujJmTUx #ScrubDaddyxBenefit #InnovativeCollabs #BrandPartnerships
