Launching into the US Beauty Market

Bespoke Advantage is an international beauty and wellness consultancy working with founders across global markets, including the US, to develop strategically positioned and commercially credible brands.

We support founders across:

  • brand strategy and positioning
  • branding and identity development
  • product development and contract manufacturing
  • launch and go-to-market strategy
  • international expansion

 

The US remains the world’s largest beauty market, shaped by major retailers including Sephora, Ulta Beauty, Target, Walmart, and Amazon. Success within the market requires clear positioning, strong product-market alignment, and a well-defined retail and growth strategy.

At Bespoke Advantage, we help founders make the strategic decisions that shape how their brand is built, launched, and expanded internationally. If you are developing a beauty or wellness brand and exploring the US market, we would be glad to discuss how we can support you. Complete the form beneath for a confidential conversation.

‘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. Janet never makes decisions without my approval and always listens to what my vision is for the brand. They are working toward making my dream come true. I highly recommend Bespoke Advantage to help anyone who is looking to develop a brand.’

Working with Janet over the past year has been a real pleasure, she has fantastic industry experience and knowledge of the UK beauty market. She has delivered a number of webinars for my clients looking at how to enter the UK market, providing an overview of the market and how to build a strategy. She took the briefs we provided and added real value to them, included key insights and information that my clients have found incredibly useful. Feedback on these sessions has been very positive. Janet is a clear communicator and has always delivered as agreed and on time. We are continuing to work together on other projects and I very much value the conversations we share.
