AVON engages with consumers through a Mall Activation

May 2017, New Delhi: AVON, the women’s beauty brand bringing new dimensions to beauty has today launched AVON True Look Book. The look book launch was done by AVON’s celebrity make up expert, Renuka Pillai in Phoenix Market City, Kurla.

The look book launch was an extension to AVON True Make Up Marathon campaign which was live on Avon’s social media platform through the month of April. During the mall activation, AVON engaged with consumers and ran exciting contests and gave free make overs. The brand created a setup to invite and pamper women and make them experience the AVON True range. The launch of the AVON True Look Book was amidst a special gathering of beauty experts and influencers who came together to celebrate beauty. They also participated in sessions conducted by Renuka Pillai on beauty make up tips and tricks. The look book featured the beautiful looks of women from different walks of life and included their views on the different facets of beauty and how it inspires them. The event was an initiative to provide women the platform to express themselves and make them feel special.

Quote from Priyanka Gill, Founder and CEO POPxo featured in the Look book

Beauty for me is happiness. It's reflected in someone who is confident in her skin. It shines in someone who laughs. Beauty for me is a state of mind. It's about comfort. About caring. Not only for others, but also for yourself. Being kind to yourself is beautiful. Beauty is whimsical. It's not boring.  Beauty lies in the tiny details. It's in what makes you smile. Happy women are the prettiest and Avon through its endeavors and products brings out the true beauty in women. The initiative to launch a Look Book, a compilation of such beautiful women is a novel idea.

With the continuously evolving relationship between a brand and its consumers, AVON True mall event was an engaging initiative to connect with the new age consumers and drive interest around such activation.

Quote from Natasha Patel, Senior Beauty Blogger Miss Malini featured in the Look book

Beauty for me is more internal. As cliche as it sounds, it's in a person's smile, their eyes and just their soul being. While makeup allows one to express themselves; filtered or unfiltered, I truly believe that one needs to have fun with anything they do. Happiness is the best contour you can wear! It's really amazing how beautifully powerful women are. Avon's initiative is strong and I'm proud to be in an industry that recognizes just that. The idea to launch a look book is a beautiful initiative and I am really honored to be a part of it.

Commenting on the activity, Swati Jain, Marketing Director, AVON Indiasaid, “Avon follows the philosophy of Beauty for a Purpose and being a woman-centric brand, all our campaigns and initiatives revolve around making women feel confident and beautiful.  Through Avon True look book launch, we wanted to reach out to women from various strata and invited them to come and celebrate their beauty with AVON.  This activity is a testimony to our vision to make women feel optimistic and positive about themselves.”

Renuka Pillai, Makeup Expert, AVON India on her association with AVON True Make Look book launch, “It feels great to be associated with an activity that is honoring beauty. Every face is beautiful and AVON respects it. The event is a novel approach to reach out and search for women who represents the AVON true women through the AVON True look book launch”

The role of social media and digital has undergone a paradigm change when it comes to beauty purchases and the decision-making journey of a beauty consumer. Investing in digital platforms is a key focus for Avon this year and the Avon True Make Up Marathon is a step in that direction. The AVON True Make Up Marathon campaign started on a high and positive note already receiving a phenomenal response from the audience. With the launch of the activity the brand has seen a 300% increase in Instagram and Twitter engagement. The activity has resulted in a reach of 10 million across digital platforms with 20 million impressions and has already received an overwhelming 2000 entries for the look book.
