ABOUT MARYSMINKS

MarysMinks is an independent lash artist providing a luxury experience to a high price, high cost premium target market.

MARYSMINKS’S BRANDING

MarysMinks is your go-to lash artist catering custom lash sets for each client.


MarysMinks is a clean and simple aesthetic, where she is concise and clear on meeting your expectations and ensuring you walk out with ​the lash set you walked in for.

CONSULTATION

When meeting with MarysMinks, I curated a client landscape to identify their markets, competitors, strengths, weaknesses, and characteristics. When I ​first met with MarysMinks, their account was inconsistent with a lack of structure due to their business plan.


Within this client landscape, we discussed the pain points of their businesses:

  • Their desired target market or clientele
  • Effective annual and quarterly goals
  • Social media performance and expectations.


Throughout this consultation, I gathered a firm understanding of their Q3 goals:

  • A high engaged, clean, and aesthetic feed.
  • Redirecting their target audience from affordable clientele to luxury clientele
  • Repositioning themselves for an easier transition to advance their business to the next goals such as lash training and digital products.

Why the Decrease in Reach?”: Throughout our 3 month period, there’s a process of understanding which content performs well and which content does not perform well for your ​account and your target audience. Since we are still in our second month, we have been experimenting with different formats and content concepts. From the feedback in analytics, ​we repositioned their social media content to better perform. However, despite our decrease in reach we still saw an increase in reach in followers meaning more of our community ​is having the opportunity to interact.
