They discuss the evolution and unique positioning of John Fluevog Shoes within the footwear industry.

Welcome to another exciting episode of "Direct to Candid" Conversations! FACES CANADA is a globally acclaimed brand offering an exclusive line of high-quality makeup and skincare products. Their comprehensive range, available at attractive price points, caters to every look and style. We're delighted to have Hitesh Sharma from the marketing team of Faces Canada share some valuable insights with us. Let's dive right in to learn about their customer retention strategies! Hitesh shares, "At Faces Canada, our customer retention strategy is all about personalization and respect." We tailor our communication based on customers' preferences, from product choices to price points. Our goal is to build long-term, genuine relationships without overwhelming our customers with messages. Our cashback program has been particularly effective in encouraging repeat purchases. In our early days, we made a name for ourselves by using Bollywood-inspired retention communication. This unique approach sets us apart from typical sales messages, making it easier to capture attention and, subsequently, to sell. We found that once you grab attention in a distinctive way, the rest follows naturally. Community building is crucial for us. We focus on three key elements: Building the right communication, implementing an effective cashback and loyalty program, and educating our audience about makeup as a category. These steps help us create not just a customer base but a community of makeup enthusiasts who trust and engage with our brand. By focussing on these aspects, we've managed to foster a loyal community that sees Faces Canada as more than just a makeup brand; we're a part of their beauty journey." From personalized communication to Bollywood-inspired strategies, Faces Canada has painted a beautiful picture of customer retention in the beauty industry.
