Methods of Prosperity 110
“I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.”
– Estée Lauder
Estée Lauder was ahead of her time. Her approach became the foundation for modern cosmetics marketing.
Free samples are now standard across the industry.
“Gift with purchase” is a ubiquitous marketing strategy.
Personal beauty consultations became standard in department stores.
Customer relationship management became a crucial part of beauty marketing.
Estée Lauder understood what the cosmetics industry failed to recognize: Personal relationships. Selling personal products requires trust, experience, and emotional connection.
Which is something that traditional advertising alone won’t achieve. She established principles that remain effective today.
I like you,
