Beauty & Personal Care: Smart Pricing Meets Premium Positioning

The Challenge: Fighting Back Against Aggressive Promotions

The online beauty market is cut-throat with major retailers constantly run flash sales, deep discounts, and influencer-driven promotions, all designed to win over price-sensitive shoppers and drive short-term spikes in demand.

This put serious pressure on one premium beauty marketplace, who faced:

• Competitors using aggressive promotions to steal market share
• Difficulty maintaining brand value while keeping up on price
• Rapid demand swings and inconsistent internal pricing decisions

The impact?

Eroded margins. Lost customers. And a weakening premium perception that risked long-term brand value.

The Reaction: Stop Competing on Price Alone

Reactively slashing prices wasn’t working. It was hurting profitability and confusing their brand message.
The team needed a more strategic approach, one that would:

• Keep pricing competitive during flash sales
• Maintain control over brand positioning
• Respond quickly to volatile market activity
