Gap identified
e.l.f. is losing to The Ordinary and Dr.Jart for consumers who search for skincare kits and go through Hyram’s YouTube channel.
Young women who feel lost within the abundance of the different types of skincare products and brands, are searching for a brand that offers all the necessary products for a skincare routine in one kit. Some consumers search on Google for "Good skincare kits", arrive to Ulta.com and end up purchasing The Ordinary products. Other consumers search on Youtube for "Skincare kits" before continuing to the video “The BEST Holiday Skin Care Sets You Can Buy!“ on Hyram’s YouTube channel. These consumers ending up purchasing Dr.Jart products on Sephora, as recommended in the video. The "Skincare kit" topic acts as an enabler among consumers who are new to the skincare world.
