Marketing strategy for the beauty industry startup
Sphere:

Business model:
B2C
Work period:
2 months (next: independent work on the strategy)
Average check:
one of the highest in Mauritius
Goal:
to launch from scratch a premium beauty salon in Mauritius with wide publicity and an established client flow
A client with experience in the beauty sphere in the Russian Federation rented space in Mauritius, and a list of services was ready to open a new business with qualified specialists in manicures and other areas of aesthetic activity
Client's pains identified during the consultation:
No understanding of the beauty market in Mauritius
No naming and concept for future salon
No plan to launch a startup, but a desire to create wide publicity so everyone knows about the new salon
The difficulty in determining business benefits
Difficulties in pricing services
A lack of a specialist base to provide services
The tasks set and types of work done
Based on the client's requests, I have offered the following package of services:
Packaging and strategy formation for social networks
Together with a beauty salon owner, we drew up a detailed list of tasks for a successful launch and operation:
01
To create a name, slogan, and brand legend
02
Identify brand strengths and weaknesses to formulate offers for banners, booklets, and mailing lists
03
To generate the cost of premium segment salon services, with a price category above the average in Mauritius
04
To create a promotion strategy and design an Instagram page, as well as work out a content plan for regular maintenance and customer engagement
05
To develop a plan to retain and expand the customer base
06
To work with the salon owner's assistant to teach her how to run social networks and work with the customer base
07
To provide chat support for a month during the assistant's training
To achieve this goal, we gradually went through all the stages of work:
collecting the necessary information (120 minutes of phone call with the client)
creation of naming, slogan, and brand legend (12 hours)
Result: The client received 6 naming and slogan options and 2 brand legend options, from which she selected the more liked ones
analyzed the services, quality, and prices of competitors
formed a unique selling proposition (USP) based on competitors' analysis and advantages of the client's services
developed a checklist for creating marketing materials, advertising texts, and WhatsApp messages
formed costs based on an analysis of the price category of similar premium services in Mauritius to sell in the premium segment
Stages of work:
packed the channel
created a strategy for target launch on Instagram
prescribed a content plan and ready-made texts (in Russian and English) for the first month of work
collected statistics on the results of the first month of advertising and formed a strategy for 2 months ahead

selection of visual recommendations and collection of references for Instagram content
assistance in organizing a photoshoot
creating a plan to attract new customers and retain old ones for the first 2 months of work
forming a loyalty system for customers, a discount system, and ways to attract new customers

creation and implementation of a phased brand PR concept
integration of several number marketing tools to make a “high-profile” discovery

prescribed recommendations for services that will enlarge the reach of potential customers and increase the cost of an average salon visit
help and recommendations in finding and interviewing new masters for the salon
help and recommendations in preparing a resume, job descriptions, salon operation rules, etc.
Result: The client knows how to look for employees, given the growth and development of the business

We also came to the following results:
The salon was widely publicized in the first month of operation and is still in great demand on the island
A regular customer flow immediately lined up, although the price is one of the highest in Mauritius
As a result of the joint work, the client received a 15-page marketing strategy and a 10-page content plan for social networks in English and Russian
A feature of the work on the premium beauty salon Daby Beauty Oasis project was time shortage. In just 2 months, together with the founder, we have compiled a project launch plan, a marketing strategy based on which she can now independently develop her business, and a detailed promotion strategy, including several ways aimed at attracting new and retaining old customers. As a result, this led us to the successful launch of the project, wide publicity, and NDA income in the first month of work, which satisfied my client. The key indicator of the result of our work is that today Daby Beauty Oasis is one of the most popular premium salons in Mauritius, with a stable income and a customer flow.
