Beauty attributes serve as critical data points for consumers navigating the endless options available in the beauty marketplace. With Okendo Reviews, brands have the ability to capture valuable data-driven insights about their customers and products.

What are the essential customer and product attributes used by beauty brands in Okendo Reviews? This article explores the definition of attributes and examples of how beauty brands can use attributes in Okendo Reviews to gather better customer data and create high-quality social proof.

What are Beauty Attributes?

Beauty attributes provide easy-to-read insights and details of beauty products in Okendo Reviews, highlighting the main elements that empower consumers to make more informed purchasing decisions, while simultaneously providing your brand with zero-party data. With this information, you can improve and personalize experiences and even make your products better.

Attributes are data points about products or individual customers, such as adds shine or skin tone. These details help customers understand how a product might integrate into their lifestyle and cater to specific skin types, hair colors, and other features or characteristics.

Attributes serve two purposes:

  • Attributes are ways for brands to learn more about an individual customer (customer attributes), or how well their products work for their customers (product attributes).
  • They are also an excellent form of social proof for customers when making purchasing decisions.

 

 

These detailed reviews can create a customer community, boosting current customers’ loyalty to your brand, and ultimately enhancing trust of new and current customers in your beauty brand. Attributes in reviews can also lead to the creation of Superfans, or highly engaged advocates of your brand.

Examples of Beauty Brands Using Attributes

Here are examples of beauty brands tailoring their attributes to fit their brand identity and speak to their customer base.

Vegamour

With a holistic approach to hair wellness, Vegamour uses single-select customer attributes that include the amount of gray hair a customer has and hair type. Multi-select attributes include concerns such as thinning hair and bald spots. This creates a positive customer experience for shoppers because they can get a good idea how the product will work for them based on specific attributes of other customers. For example, if a prospective customer is shopping for a product to help with bald spots, they can look for reviews that mention bald spots as a concern.

Krave Beauty

Krave Beauty is on a mission to challenge the fast-paced beauty industry to slow down. The brand captures customer attributes such as skin concern and skin type, and a product attribute that asks the customer what they liked about the product with options such as hydrating, noticeable results, and nourishing. If a customer wants to ensure they’ll get noticeable results, they can look for reviews that mention that quality.

Mermade Hair

Mermade Hair believes beautiful hair should be easy. They make their review capture process easy too, asking the customer for customer attributes of age range, hair type, hair length, and color. This gives shoppers an easy-to-read glance at the different attributes from other customers.

ILIA

Clean beauty and cosmetics brand ILIA highlights skin type, skin tone, undertone, and age range as attributes in their reviews. This gives customers a good understanding of whether or not a product will work for their same attributes as well.
