How to Collect and Use Customer Feedback for Beauty Brands
How to Collect and Use Customer Feedback for Beauty Brands
Here's a dirty secret about most product reviews in beauty: the customer used the product twice before reviewing it.
She got the serum on Tuesday. Applied it Wednesday morning. Left a five-star review Thursday because the packaging was nice and the texture felt good. That review tells you almost nothing about whether the product actually works.
Beauty brands sit on a goldmine of potential customer insight, but the way most of them collect feedback guarantees they'll only get surface-level data. The timing is wrong. The questions are wrong. The incentive structure rewards speed over depth.
Getting feedback right for beauty products requires a fundamentally different approach than what works for commodity goods. Because beauty products need time to prove themselves.
