A differenza dei loro colleghi d’oltremanica che hanno tutti (o quasi) un’agenzia di PR, la maggior parte dei parrucchieri italiani vogliono farsi pubblicità solo GRATUITAMENTE !!!
Non fanno progetti di pubblicazione se non sul pettegolo Facebook, non tengono contatti con le riviste di settore se non per essere pubblicati GRATIS, non fanno operazioni di diffusione dei volantini o depliants, non hanno un sito decente… etc.

Con tutti i corsi di MK che questi parrucchieri fanno, non hanno ancora imparato che bisognerebbe assegnare una percentuale sul fatturato alla pubblicità/comunicazione ?… e si lamentano se il cassetto piange !

People from diverse cultures are privy with the fact that their superficial appearance or “face value” will matter a lot while stepping ahead in life. This commonly accepted trend is what helped the global cosmetics market to make more than US$ 200 Bn by the end of 2015. These cosmetic products get further categorized as fragrances, hygiene products, or skin care products, among others. In their midst, colour cosmetics have also been in great demand across several parts of the world. But, in the years to come, the demand for colour cosmetics is likely to decline.

Lack of quality: colour cosmetics available in retail outlets have been tainted with allegations that render them chemically adulterated. Manufacturers are also struggling to provide organic and natural colour cosmetics as procurement of such ingredients comes at high costs. Low profit margin: apropos the manufacturing costs, colour cosmetics are cost-intensive products. Ingredients or raw materials used for production of colour cosmetics have volatile prices. This leaves the manufacturers with marginal profits upon sales. Limited shelf life: the extended period taken for colour cosmetics to reach to their customers has given rise to incidences of outdate product delivery. Consumers are miffed with short shelf life of colour cosmetics, which is impacting its sales.

In the report, titled “Colour Cosmetics Market: Global Industry Analysis and Opportunity Assessment, 2016-2026,” the global market for colour cosmetics is presently valued at nearly US$ 50 Bn, and is anticipated to exhibit growth at 4.8% CAGR, surpassing US$ 79 Bn by 2026-end. In terms of consumption as well, the market will show a sluggish growth at 3.3% CAGR, and will account for global sales of little less than 5,000 Mn units towards the end of 2026. In this ten-year forecast period, North America is likely to stand out as dominant region, procuring over US$ 20 Bn by the end of 2026.

Besides North America, the colour cosmetics market in Western Europe and Asia-Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ) region will also account for a major chunk of global revenues. Alternatively, the demand for colour cosmetics is projected to grow in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Middle East & Africa as these regions are anticipated to register steady revenue growth by exhibiting value CAGRs above 5%. Spanned across various regions in the world, companies such as Kose Corporation, Amway Corporation, Mary Kay Cosmetics, Chanel SA, L’Oreal SA, LVMH (Moet Hennessy – Louis Vuitton), Estee Lauder Companies Inc., Revlon Inc., Shiseido Co., Ltd., and Coty Inc. will be recognized as key players of the global colour cosmetics market.

Consumers are increasingly striving for physical and spiritual fitness. Manufacturers and brands can now take maximum advantage of this trend and develop innovative cosmetic and body care products for customers who are keen on active pursuits. The market researchers at Mintel Beauty & Personal Care forecast that ‘active beauty’ will have a crucial impact on the cosmetics and skin care industries in 2017. The demand for new products, which support a healthy lifestyle and fitness, is more important than it ever was, given that consumers are now participating in more and more sporting activities. 48 % of German consumers would be interested in body care products, which help to regenerate their bodies after sport. 46 % of Spanish consumers are excited by the idea of fragrances that enhance the efforts they put in when exercising. 53 % of Italian consumers indicate that body care products, which increase and prolong the effects of sporting activity would appeal to them. And amongst French consumers, 36 % show an interest in sports clothing which gives off skin care products or fragrances in response to changes in body temperature.

As Mintel indicate, several brands and manufacturers also recognise the ‘active beauty’ trend. According to the market researchers, they will, in future, be investing more in innovative products, which cater for the needs of consumers who take part in active pursuits. The experts assume that the developments will lead to products that maintain their effectiveness in extreme conditions and protect hair and skin both from dirt and from UV and infrared light. The market researchers are also predicting care products that react to body temperature, sports apparel that measures the temperature and levels of hydration of the skin and then sends data about ideal care requirements to a smartphone app, or via a DNS-based analytic system, to create a personalised sports and beauty programme.

For brands and manufacturers, who would like to take advantage of the ‘active beauty’ trend, it is important – so say Mintel – that information about the effects of the products makes clear why and how these products are different from the ones in the normal portfolio. With protective formulae and practical packaging, it should also be possible to meet the wishes of sophisticated consumers for functional, multitasking products.
