Industry overview
Keeping up with East Asia’s local giants & fickle consumers
The recent struggle and exit of major beauty & wellness players from China and Korea signals a changing tide: tried and true strategies are no longer resonating with a new generation of consumer. However, select brands have found opportunities to flourish. In a market disrupted by domestic giants, it is imperative to take a step back and reevaluate value propositions, market positioning, and brand differentiators to adjust and reinforce a brand’s niche in a changed ecosystem.
How can we help
Why choose Sapling for your beauty & wellness business?
By structuring seed customer groups effectively, companies can refine their minimum viable product (MVP), develop a proven business model, and prepare for future growth stages
Reinforce your brand positioning
Diluted brand positioning and lack of differentiators are the biggest challenges foreign brands face in lieu of mounting domestic competition. We help brands strengthen their core identity, while crafting new pillars capable of reaching next-generation customers.
Leverage trends on the fly
Consumer trends in East Asia are volatile, often emerging and disappearing in matter of weeks. Local players have adapted and utilize trends on the fly to bolster brand image & awareness. We use seed groups to give you the unprecedented agility to do the same.
Receive daily customer feedback
Beauty and wellness are an integral part of consumers’ daily life & routine. As with other lifestyle habits, change is often a gradual, conscious choice influenced by a diverse range of factors. Hear from your customers daily to stay ahead of new behaviors and trends.
