Leading Brands And Their Social Activity. Spotlight Focus: Beauty Pie

Beauty Pie is a forward thinking company which has made its stamp in the makeup industry.

It’s the first luxury beauty buyers club in the industry with items from over 50 of the world’s leading third-party labs without the high price tags.

With an option to select a membership suited to your needs, users are given an allowance. The total from your products is then taken off your allowance, but you only pay a fraction of that price.

It sounds too good to be true doesn’t it?

The innovative brand prides itself on its ethos of making beauty products affordable to the mass market. It does this by cutting out intermediaries and avoiding expensive real estate whilst providing product quality and efficiency

As stated by Aly, studio manager at Beauty Pie: “We’re disrupting the beauty industry. In fact, we’re blowing the mainstream way wide open.”

Many ask, is Beauty Pie any good?

The simple answer to this is yes!

Consumers are interested in what’s inside the product and how its ingredients can benefit them. As the saying goes: Don’t read a book by its cover, Beauty Pie has encompassed this ethos in everything it does.

The company has grabbed the power of social media with both hands and expanded its brand awareness to the thousands with its current following of 215,000 over on Instagram.

#POSTYOURPIE

Beauty Pie has focused on what its consumers want to see over on social media whilst encouraging engagement and promoting brand awareness.

With its unique hashtag #POSTYOURPIE, every week Beauty Pie brings its community together and shares user-generated content of people’s purchases on its stories.

Not only this, the company saves these to its ‘Post Your Pie’ highlight. And in return for this great content, if posts are featured, consumers will receive a special gift as a thank you. 

With this incentive, it persuades customers to share images of their purchases which rapidly helps to spread brand awareness.
