Approach to inbound marketing

Charlotte Tilbury’s has an integrated approach to inbound marketing, which touches every stage of the buyer’s journey. The website is complex, with a glamorous look, offering a huge amount of information. It contains many pictures and short descriptions for each one. The site has also a dedicated ‘’HOW TO’’ section, where you can find free video tutorials.  Their tone of voice is a friendly one, addressing their customer with ‘’darlings’’ in many of their texts and posts. 

Paula’s Choice is a skincare expert company. Their approach to inbound marketing is simpler, but they still manage to touch each stage of the buyer’s journey. The website interface is user-friendly, there are pictures alongside short descriptions, but no videos available. To succeed with the lead generation, the company adapted call to action and landing pages to the website.

Both companies use email and marketing automation. They integrated to the website an e-mail popup. Visitors who decide to register, receive more benefits from both companies.

While Charlotte Tilbury has a dedicated ‘’How to’’ section where they share video tutorials about their products, Paula’s choice has an ‘’Expert advice’’ section where they share a variety of articles related to skin problems and skin care.

When it comes to SEO, both websites use keywords or combinations to make sure they can easily be found by buyers.

Strengths and weaknesses

Charlotte Tilbury has a powerful presence on social networks, being active on many social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Pinterest, and YouTube. This is proven also by the number of followers they attracted so far. They have 884K likes on Facebook, and 3.9M followers on Instagram. They regularly update their content, mostly with videos and pictures and they actively interact with their audience. Charlotte Tilbury offers free consultation related to their products, and they organize a lot of live beauty events host by specialists. The company constantly partners with influencers helping them to organically grow their reach. For some areas of the website, you need first to register to get access to more information. This might bring more leads to them, but it also might annoy new visitors.

Paula’s Choice has a simple, yet well-structured website, sharing useful information with its audience. Although it does not have a dedicated blog, it has an Expert Advice section covering many topics in the skincare area. The website does not integrate video content. Paula’s Choice is also being active on social media, but only on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. They also interact with the audience, but the content on their Facebook account is not regularly updated.

The best company at inbound marketing

While Charlotte Tilbury has a strong presence on social media, Paula’s Choice is active only on two networks. The amount of information is much bigger in Charlotte’s website, but Paula’s Choice has a better-structured website. However, the first company integrates more inbound marketing methods such as CTa’s, landing pages, or events. This approach allowed them to pursue more leads.

Improvements

It would be a good idea for both websites to integrate social media buttons on their pages. Charlotte Tilbury could simplify the content on their site and dedicate one page for a blog. Paula’s Choice could manage to organize more online events, work with influencers to organically grow their reach, and why not, extend on other social networks. They could also consider including videos on their website.
