Market
The men’s grooming market has experienced significant growth recently. Men are now more conscious of their hygiene and appearance, leading to an expansion of the grooming market beyond women. However, established brands continue to dominate the industry due to consumer preference and brand loyalty. Despite this, innovative branding and marketing strategies have helped newer brands gain momentum. Fragrances, such as aftershaves, perfumes, and deodorants, are the most popular products in the men’s grooming industry. Skincare products are also gaining popularity. Businesses in this industry need to invest in their products and understand potential returns. Supermarkets are the primary distribution channels, but eCommerce websites are making strides in branding tactics. As men’s self-care habits grow, companies must improve their men’s grooming marketing campaigns to compete and break established brand monopolies.
Products
Items such as skincare, hair, and beard products are gaining popularity. In the past, there was no differentiation between men’s and women’s skincare products. However, today, men’s skincare products, like face and body wash, are exclusively designed and marketed for men. Men are also using hair sprays and gels to style their hair and seek products to prevent baldness. Beards are now fashionable, and many men take pride in well-groomed beards. To maintain a presentable beard, men use products such as trimmers, wax, and beard oil daily. Bundling products into men’s grooming kits can be an effective way to expose more customers to a wider variety of products.
Offline sales
To increase the sales numbers of grooming products for men in physical stores, businesses should go beyond the essentials like shaving kits and razors. Adding high-quality skincare products like sunscreens, moisturizers, and shower gels, which have gained popularity with men, can attract more customers. Understanding the customer base is crucial. Most grooming-conscious men belong to the millennial generation. Catering to their needs should be a focus of marketing strategies. Some customers may prefer eco-friendly, or vegan products. Creating an eye-catching and organized display is essential to attract potential customers. Highlighting the spaces where grooming products are placed and categorizing them appropriately can improve visibility and customer engagement. Offering discounts, vouchers, and sales on men’s grooming sets can also attract customers away from their regular products, fostering brand loyalty.
Digital sales
In the online space, men’s grooming companies have thrived, especially during the global pandemic when online shopping became an option that was safer. A strong digital presence is crucial to attracting potential consumers. Even when businesses use third-party platforms, having their own website is vital for their long-term success. The website serves as the core place for meeting the needs of consumers and addressing concerns. Constant engagement and communication with target audiences are necessary to drive sales. Effective digital marketing strategies include social media and email marketing, press releases, guest posting, and PPC campaigns. Consistency and a focus on long-term goals are key.
