Cream gel polish was developed for nail technicians who create nail art. The cream gels are perfect to use as a palette of colors for creating detailed nail art, and are opaque enough to cover in one coat. It’s a versatile product that can be used by nail technicians of any skill level. That was the key problem to solve: Getting the product in front of the right consumer market.
Taking a product to market has a lot of components and requires a lot of planning to take it from concept to execution. From product packaging to marketing on a global scale, a lot of pieces come together to make a successful product launch.
For this project I worked closely with the sales team to develop a marketing plan to reach the intended audience. This included creating the design for the product packaging and creating sales materials to be used across all forms of print and digital media.
Social Media Marketing
For the launch of the Cream Gel Polish, I planned a social marketing campaign with the goal of creating excitement around the product in anticipation of the launch. We introduced the product over 3 months in advance of launching the product online for sale. This meant sprinkling imagery and information about the product across social media to help excite the entire audience in our global network.
The social media campaign included a Facebook live webinar demonstration about the product in advance of the launch to show how easy the product was to use. To excite users about the possibilities of what could be created with the product, our educators created nail art designs, and I created mood board images.
The post captions strategically highlighted the benefits of the products and included relevant hashtags. To increase engagement on the posts, we encouraged users to comment on the photos. We sourced real User-Generated Content (UGC) of the products by encouraging users to share their images using the cream gel polish.
