Advertising campaigns in the field of beauty and makeup are becoming more and more dynamic, focusing on a seamless customer journey to fuel shopper engagement and sales conversion.
However, joining the dots between the online and offline shopper journey can be challenging for brands that sell their products in salons by beauty and haircare professionals.
As one of the most ambitious companies, L’Oréal is again showing a great example of how this can be accomplished. Not only do they make it easy and attractive for consumers, but they also increase benefits for their network of professionals.
Let’s see what L’Oréal Professionnel, specializing in professional hair care products, has put in place in Mexico with new promotion features from Swaven.
Drive-To-Salon from Social Media with “Smart Promotion”
L’Oréal Professionel Mexico approached Swaven to implement a new and unique solution for their new campaign on social media.
Their goal is to offer better service to consumers and to attract more potential clients to their hair salons.
In addition to making their campaign shoppable, and redirecting consumers to available salons according to shoppers’ geolocation, L’Oréal used a special promotional offer. This offer could be easily displayed within the campaign, using Swaven’s latest Promotion feature.
What’s new is that the Promotions are getting “smart” too with Swaven, with integration of QR codes within the shoppable media and a specific possibility for brands to collect first-party shopper data with user consent.
L’Oréal can monitor the whole conversion funnel from the Promotional campaign on any social media to the use of their vouchers at the salons. They get full visibility on the performance of their brand promotions, from impressions to sales.

Seamless brand experiences boosted by Promotions
Accordingly to NCSolutions, 43% of American consumers are looking for sales promotions to afford their favorite brands. Discounting may not save everything in the bottom line, but it may keep inflation-weary shoppers from abandoning their shopping baskets altogether.
For certain, Promotions are a great way to maintain and/or gain market share, especially during high sales seasons, like end-of-year festivities.
That’s why Swaven has developed a new feature – Smart Promotion – to offer you an easy way to display and measure your sales promotions within any of your media campaigns and assets.
