Coty - Seasonal Multi-brand Sales Support
A host of holiday fragrance gift sets – all under one digital roof.
PROJECT SUMMARY
Coty Beauty maintains a broad portfolio of celebrity and brand name fragrances – most of which maintain their own online presence. Fragrance gift sets, a popular item in the holiday season, accounts for approximately 40% of their annual sales, most of which through mass market retailers. Driving these holiday sales, therefore, is of vital importance to the business.
The ongoing problem facing Coty was that coordinating efforts across numerous online properties is very difficult to effectively manage. Consolidating holiday fragrance offerings within a single site would allow for a far more cohesive – and manageable – marketing initiative.
Team VisionMix was asked to design and develop a multi-brand fragrance website within Coty’s existing Drupal CMS platform. The site would have some shared features – such as a couponing component and a fragrance finder – that could be used to help drive consumers to the right product and, ultimately, to the point of purchase. Within this common framework, each individual fragrance house would also need to be able to express its own unique identity and product line.
To further the effectiveness of the idea, we designed the site so it could be re-skinned after the Christmas holiday season – allowing it to live on throughout the year promoting gifting products during the subsequent holidays and prime gift-giving occasions.
WHAT WE DID
Designed a responsive, global site shell with consistent sitewide navigation and select page graphics that could be easily re-skinned to meet the needs of any holiday season
Within this shell, we designed a “Fragrance House” template page that included a unique page masthead that allowed each brand team to express the unique visual identity and messaging specific to their products
Created “Gifts for Her” and “Gifts For Him” page templates that allowed for specific, high-priority fragrance brands to be promoted
Built an interactive “fragrance finder” that allows users to narrow down product choices based on personality traits and / or scent type
Designed a series of graphics and drive to web email templates that were sent to specific, high-priority brand opt-in lists
Developed a series of unique “cluster pages” that served as the targets of these emails, providing cross-marketing opportunities between like products that Coty wanted to specifically promote
