Hyclo, a skincare brand that treats various skin conditions, was looking to enter the highly competitive beauty market in the UK and beyond. Read how Beth Clifton Consulting set Hyclo up for success.
Background
Hyclo Skin is a revolutionary skincare brand, harnessing the power of HOCI (hypochlorous acid) to help treat skin conditions and sooth irritation. With its breakthrough technology, Hyclo was ready to take on the highly competitive and crowded beauty sector.
Beth was initially working on another of founder Nicole Fletcher's brands when she was approached with a challenge: could her proven retail strategy translate into the beauty and skincare space?
Despite having no prior experience in the beauty sector, Beth took on the opportunity with determination, recognising the potential of Hyclo Skin's product range.
The Challenge
Break through the highly saturated and competitive beauty market
A new entrant needing visibility and buyer confidence
No established retail presence in the beauty category
Plan of Action
Utilise Beth's existing retail network to reach key stakeholders and adapt proven strategies to suit the beauty industry, by focusing on Hyclo Skin's innovation and product efficacy.
Results
Beth leveraged her existing retail and childrenswear contacts to reach key beauty stakeholders, and adapted her proven strategies to the nuances and specific dynamics of the beauty industry. By focusing on Hyclo Skin's innovative formula and product efficacy, within 6 months, she secured meetings with major beauty retailers:
Nordstrom
Boots
Holland & Barrett
Superdrug
Wells Pharmacy
Tesco
John Lewis
In addition, positive feedback has been received by big hitters within the beauty sector, indicating positive interaction and the potential for future opportunities:
Harvey Nichols
Fenwick
Selfridges
QVC
Space NK
Waitrose
The Very Group
Victoria Health
Morrisons
Next Steps
While many retailers praised the product, highlighting its innovation and performance in particular, several emphasised the need for increased brand visibility and a more robust marketing presence before taking on a full retail launch.
Taking the advice of key beauty retailers onboard, Beth is working closely with the Hyclo Skin team to refine its marketing and brand awareness strategy, in the hopes of setting the brand up for long-term success in the beauty space and securing meaningful and fruitful retail partnerships in the near future.
I really recommend Beth, if you are retail-ready, she should be your first call... and even if you are not, call her anyway as she will help you get there.
