Offering the opportunity to sign up for a subscription is a great way to minimise the risk of losing customers. That way, your customers can get their favourite beauty products delivered automatically, on a regular basis.

Videos are the most effective way to market a product. Use influencer marketing, take advantage of the influencers platform and let them show their favourites. In a video you can highlight colours, formula, pigmentation and everything else that is crucial before a purchase.
3. Use customer reviews
Reviews help potential customers decide if they will purchase. Use customer reviews, photos and ratings, to be more trustworthly.
