“Opportunities in Body Care Come to Light Via Social Media”
Body care, which has seen sales pick up recently after some slow years, has the ability to be a significantly growing segment of the beauty industry. This owing to the seasonality, varied skin types, myriad of needs, and the plethora of remedies and treatments that brands offer for different parts of the body.
Of more than 50,000 online conversations about skin care that were generated in early summer 2013, 67% were about body care, underscoring its importance in the beauty industry. Research by SKIM shows that, although there are a lot of conversations happening on social media about body care and its associated products, there is a lot of room for brands to improve how consumers feel about products.
