How Hero Cosmetics experienced continuous growth

Ju Rhyu, Co-founder and CEO of Hero Cosmetics, joins the POD to give some insight on the brand's financial plan and unique marketing strategy . 

Hero Cosmetic is a skincare brand that is solution oriented with mindful ingredients for sensitive skin

The brand began on Amazon, and as it grew, additional products were introduced into the market and since then the brand continues to experience growth. 

An approach was taken of handling finances through bootstrapping, so that the brand's primary focus would not be on raising funds but rather building the brand, and as the brand grew the financial plan transitioned to form partnerships. 

Ju recognized that when it comes to building a successful brand, it is important to stay up to date with current trends in any way you can. 

Growth through TikTok and QR codes

Hero Cosmetics not only stands out for their skincare products, but also their unique and experimental marketing strategies

The brand has experienced continuous sustained growth by allocating their marketing budget primarily through social media

The brand has created awareness for their products by utilizing TikTok as their central social outlet, which has accounted for their growth

Ju takes a unique approach to achieving additional growth by implementing QR codes in their packaging, and promotional events.  

The brand has fostered further growth opportunities through partnerships and a unique paid advertising strategy. 

Ju recommends being creative with your marketing and being a part of the community your brand is in.

Stay tuned as Ju discusses how Hero Cosmetics advanced their product line and what specific marketing strategies have led to the brand’s success
