Retention
Systems for
Beauty, Fragrance & Personal Care
We build done-for-you email and SMS marketing systems for beauty, fragrance, and personal care brands from set up to send.
The Contoured Method
Economic expertise meets beauty consumer psychology. Turn browsers into buyers and buyers into believers through email & SMS.
Decode
We analyze your customer data through an economic lens - tracking where customers drop off, how they respond to pricing, and how current market conditions are affecting buying behavior.
Design
We build and design acquisition and retention emails tailored to your key customer segments - discount-sensitive buyers get different messaging than first-time buyers or VIP repeat customers.
Deliver
We A/B test everything and monitor performance continuously. When economic shifts happen, we're already in your data adjusting strategy before revenue drops.
We structure lifecycle messaging around one clear progression: Beauty customers need different messaging at different stages in their buying journey.
Browsers
+ From 1st-time visitors to close-to-converters, they are comparing options, questioning price, and looking for reassurance.
The Reality: Cold audiences used to convert in 7 touchpoints, now it takes 20+. Efficacy and value must be conveyed instantly across every gap in the journey.
Buyers
+ The most fragile stage. Brands either build solid retention or lose momentum. Email's role is to reinforce confidence, set usage expectations, and support the transition to the 2nd purchase.
The Opportunity: For high-LTV brands, retention during the critical 90-day window is where actual profit happens.
Believers
+ Repeat purchasers at a critical inflection point. They respond best to recognition, reward, and relevance—not repetitive discounting.
The Fix: Beauty's average is below the ecom standard (28%). Retention strategies are crucial for sustainable growth, especially for low-AOV brands.
