Helped Achieve Record Sales amidst Lockdown

The Covid-19 pandemic affected unprecedented losses to businesses all over the world as lockdowns came into effect to contain the spread of the coronavirus. Worldwide retail activity experienced a slowdown never seen before, but amidst such dark times, IMS was able to help a luxury cosmetics company achieve record sales.

At the peak of the pandemic, IMS was working with this digital native luxury brand to develop an agile, insights-driven approach to navigate the uncertainty of the crisis. Granted that the brand already had a cult following across B2B and B2C, it still needed a partner to understand how the situation affected the audience’s perception of luxury self-care. This understanding could help them adopt content strategies that would augment sense of togetherness and community.

IMS worked by leveraging the consumer intelligence to:

- Tailor the brand messaging in a way that supported B2B and B2C audiences

- Created engaging interactions across a multitude of digital touchpoints to promote connectedness

- Revised media mix allocation and adapt paid content to latest consumer sentiment.

The results were evident. Soon the brand experienced 7.8x more engagement, 2.5x higher conversion rate and 300% increase in sales.
