Maximizing Your Practice’s Brand Success in Today’s Competitive Skincare Market 

Staying relevant and competitive in today’s crowded skincare industry requires strategic planning and innovative practices. By focusing on personalization and offering a tailored, trusted approach to skincare, your practice can build brand loyalty, boost market share, and increase profitability. 

 

Why Personalization is Essential in Skincare 

Did you know that 80% of skincare consumers make purchases from retailers other than their skincare provider within 48 hours of an appointment? The main reason? Many patients report feeling that the products offered lacked customization, quality options, or trustworthy branding. To stand out, successful practices are shifting towards more personalized, patient-centered care. Offering a curated, bespoke approach to skincare goes beyond in-office treatments, positioning your brand as both knowledgeable and responsive to unique patient needs. 

 

Benefits of Practice-Branded Skincare 

90% of skincare consumers would prefer to purchase products branded by their trusted skincare provider over widely available brands. This is because patients trust your expertise, and offering a custom-branded product line strengthens your connection with them. By curating a selection that reflects the latest innovations and your patients’ specific needs, you can increase brand loyalty and drive repeated purchases. 

Skincare consumers are increasingly well-informed, often self-diagnosing their skin concerns. They are particularly drawn to: 

• Innovative Ingredient Technologies 
• Customizable Solutions 
• Ease of Use 
• Rapid, Visible Results 
• Clinically-Backed Efficacy 
• Price Transparency and Justification 

By introducing new, thoughtfully crafted formulations and treatments that speak directly to these priorities, your practice can stay at the forefront of industry trends and patient expectations. 

 

Launching New Skincare Products: Step-by-Step Best Practices 

1. Identify an Untapped Need 
• Conduct regular patient surveys to uncover evolving needs. Collaborate with your Skincare Provider team to explore expansion areas in your product portfolio that align with patient demand.
   
2. Complement Existing Offerings 
• Curate products that pair effectively with in-office treatments to maximize patient satisfaction and outcomes. Consider creating turn-key "Better Together" and "Treatment Product Pairings" for best practice support. 
  
  
3. Empower and Train Your Team 
• Team understanding and enthusiasm are essential. Schedule an in-depth training session within the first week of receiving new products and follow up with a fun, motivating staff contest to build momentum. 
  
  
4. Execute a Comprehensive Marketing Strategy 
• Use a 360-degree approach by promoting new products through digital marketing, in-practice displays, and testimonials. Expansive support offerings may include, launch teasers to social media, custom regimen guides, email marketing, and in-office signage. 
  
  
5. Leverage Samples and Demos 
• Statistics show that 75% of people are more likely to buy a product after sampling. Flexible sampling programs throughout the office allow you to offer trials that create an emotional connection, encouraging purchase and long-term loyalty. 
  
  
6. Excite with a Launch Event 
• Plan a memorable launch event to build excitement among patients and staff. Using a thoughtfully curated 30-60-90-day launch plan can help you set clear goals, drive engagement, and sustain excitement well beyond launch day. 
  
  
7. Measure and Optimize for Success 
• Track your progress through sales data, client/staff feedback, staff engagement and marketing analytics. Review and analyze results frequently to make data-informed adjustments to your approach, ensuring successful adoption and sustained profitability.
