What tools for digital marketing in cosmetics?
1 - The Website
The website of your cosmetic brand is the most important tool of your digital marketing. It must be easy to navigate and must offer the best user experience to the customers that you wish to retain, to your potential customers, as well as any Internet user.
Your web platform must contain all the necessary sections, and your customers must be able to contact you through your website. A detailed catalog of your products and services should be available for consultation.
The content of your website must contain a maximum of keywords that allow it to appear on search engine results. This ‘Search Engine Optimization’ or SEO, is one of the most crucial tools to master in order to give your brand the visibility it needs. A visible brand online is a brand that generates curiosity and interest, and generates sales.
2 - Content Marketing
In a saturated digital world, it is very important to create clear, precise, and attractive content. Several categories of potential customers and customers to be retained are present online. In order to maximize your chances of reaching them all, you must be active on as many networks and platforms as possible.
The best form of content to share is short videos. Platforms such as Instagram and TikTok are the perfect mediums to distribute your marketing content.
First, it is important to work on your editorial line and design it by meeting the needs of your target. It must be aligned with the positioning of your brand, and in harmony with your visual identity (colors, font, etc.).
Then, you must establish a precise schedule for all your publications on all the platforms on which your brand is present. The type of audiovisual content to be shared as well as the dates of publication must be stratified beforehand.
And finally, once you have a clear idea of the image you want to convey and your content marketing strategy, you can start creating your content. Short forms of videos are preferred. Social networks offer formats capable of simplifying the task of creating short videos.
3 - Blogs
In addition to containing a detailed catalog of your products and services, consider adding a Blog section to your website. Blogs allow you to share more information with your customers, your potential customers, as well as the rest of the Internet community. They also allow you to optimize your natural referencing; your website will be more likely to appear in search results on search engines.
An editorial strategy adapted to this channel is important to establish; you have to think about the type of information you want to share. The usefulness and benevolent sharing of knowledge are priorities.
4 - ‘Influencer Marketing’
One of the most recent methods of digital marketing is collaborating with influencers or well-known personalities on social networks. Today, several choices are available to cosmetic brands, but it is not a random choice. On social networks, your brand will be associated with the personality with whom you will collaborate. This is why it must be selected well; it must represent your brand values and correspond to your brand image.
5 - Advertisements, known as 'ads'
Your brand needs visibility, and the most classic tool to achieve this goal is through advertisements. All channels do not serve the same purposes and do not cost the same budgets.
It is important to select your channels according to the targets to be reached. For example, if your targeted category is mainly present on Social Networks, this is where you should be the most present too.
Next, it is important to identify the network or networks that suit you best. For efficiency reasons, it is advisable to start with a simplified number of advertisements. Depending on the budgets allocated to advertising and the traffic generated through these ‘ads’, you can decide to increase them proportionally.
The quality of the content conveyed in your ‘ads’ is decisive. This is what determines the number of clicks and traffic generated. If your content is clear and attractive, it will attract a large number of Internet users. If it isn’t, it will go unnoticed.
Whether paid or organic, the traffic generated by clicks on your advertisements collects data that will be used to inform your business decisions. This information collected on the preferences of your potential customers and on your customers to retain is of great importance. Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is centered around the collection and processing of data. You will be able to inform and optimize your decisions and increase your turnover.
