Investing in Next Generation Beauty Entrepreneurs

‘Our new Beauty Accelerator has been designed to inspire and empower you to make your vision your reality. This takes you through how to build a brand from ‘concept to shelf’, we are joined by inspired business owners from different corners of the world who are developing brands from the comfort of their homes. This has been based on years of experience in developing and launching brands to market, and we can’t wait to get started!’ Janet Milner-Walker, Founder, Bespoke Advantage

Did you know that the average person will spend roughly 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime? Given how much time we dedicate to building our careers, it’s obvious that our careers were the first things we considered changing when Covid dawned upon us. As days turned to weeks, and weeks extended into months and years, we had a lot of time on our hands to consider what makes us happy. For many of us Covid was the catalyst to making drastic lifestyle changes, starting with our careers.

Recent research from Totaljobs found that nearly 89% of UK workers were looking for a new job in 2021. And they didn’t just look for a slight change in location or role – 45% of workers said they wanted to completely change sectors. But how do you change careers whilst still working full-time? Many people have been turning to eLearning, which has seen a significant increase in demand, across sectors, over the past two years. eLearning programs can be completed faster than in-person courses, not surprising considering how much more time we are all spending online. Even employers are recognising the validity of certificates from expert providers, as opposed to only favouring university degrees.

 

Another sector that has experienced significant growth over the past two years has been the global beauty industry. According to Statista, this is valued at $395.7 billion in 2022, driven by an increasing demand for skincare, ‘at-home spa and salon’ products and haircare. Time spent at home, and without the ability to frequent spas and salons, has seen consumers investing in their beauty, health, and wellbeing.

‘Absolutely fantastic course. Condensed learning from Janet, an expert in developing beauty brands. Also, valuable introductions to expert professionals, in the Masterclass sessions. In 12 weeks, you will learn from Janet, what would take years to learn by yourself. A very worthwhile investment’ Bridgette, Founding Member, Trainer & Consultant and Beauty Entrepreneur

‘I have been working with Janet and her team at Bespoke Advantage for over a year and my experience has been nothing short of excellent. My dream of developing a brand is coming to life with Janet’s expertise and her team’s patience and perseverance. Janet is organized and delivers on what she promises. As I set out on a mission to develop a brand, I quickly learned that there are details that I would not be able to manage without the Bespoke team. From packaging to branding, testing and compatibility, developing a brand requires a team that has experience. Janet and her team are wonderful to work with since they have the experience and the understanding of how to build a brand that will be attractive to the consumer.
