By: Ron Robinson Over the past few months BeautyStat has evolved from an online beauty forum to an exclusive community on Facebook. "Our fan page offers fans an opportunity to interact with beauty insiders and experts, such as celebrity makeup artist, Sam Fine and dermatologist, Dr. Dennis Gross, who provide advice and answer questions.", enthuses CEO, Founder, and 20 year beauty industry veteran, Ron Robinson. The site offers top advice and encourages fellow users to interact with each other and participate in giveaways. "Our model is unique as the main drivers for content are our readers who post comments about beauty issues and concerns." says Robinson. The Company says plans for the future include seamless social media integration across platforms, a mobile app and multi-media unique content. To grow the fan base 1000% in 2 months, the BeautyStat team actively engaged fans with compelling content and awareness campaigns onTwitter, YouTube, Facebook and the BeautyStat blog (http://www.beautystat.com ). "BeautyStat's grassroots approach helped to raise awareness amongst women of all ages and directly connected Ron and the expert team with women on a one to one level – an engagement that's rare in today's media landscape.", explains editor-in-chief, Charu Suri. "BeautyStat has shown how a vibrant beauty community can be built virally, and without a major media spend. The community is super engaged in the content and applications which is key. It is not just the impressive growth in "fans" but also the velocity of interactions that shows the true success story here" we are privileged to be part of this great venture" says Ashley John Heather, Partner at dotbox, a digital agency. The site is gaining groundswell amongst women and beauty insiders who tout its unique approach and commend its authentic and informed content. "Best page I have found by far! What every woman loves - advice on beauty and anything to help us along.", posts Facebook Fan, Rebecca. "From a PR perspective, the opportunity to connect with consumers, network to help understand the impact of brands and consumer needs are invaluable." BeautyStat's growth and presence are part of a larger trend in the beauty industry where an increasing number of consumers are seeking more experiential product and beauty experiences before making a purchase. The community's growth earmarks a changing consumer attitude and indicates a new platform for engagement.
