welcome to Chrome x-chromosome hair
brand that has a four-step system that
will give you the best washing go ever
and we specifically target women who
want to wear wash and gos first is
saying you can use our products for any
style you want to use and for those who
don't know what a washing go is what
does that mean so Washington was like
kind of how my hair is where it shows
your natural curl pattern whether that's
wavy curly or kinky but we do use like a
diffuser or go dryer kind of help you
maintain the curl but our product for
what you use they even give the
definition that you will want in the
girl
I know your marketing strategy it has a
lot going on I hope they did good it is
amazing I'm really curious about what
strategies are really working to help
you scale the brand so I would say since
we've started doing a little bit more
segmentation and kind of like really
honing in on like who the different
customers are and then deciding on what
content we weren't personalized to them
we've started to see things kind of like
ramp up a little bit there and we have a
Facebook group that we kind of like look
to is our like guiding light for a lot
of information on what customers want
more of what they're confused on and
where we could like have opportunities
to educate more on and then we take that
into email form or notification form or
other program that we use
[Music]
can you sum a little bit about the
persona for your target audience
purchase person who is really that brand
advocate for Chrome X so she's a career
woman who lives in a metro city but the
most important thing is that she's over
45 and when you know I'm 27
there's no way I would have ever thought
that was my customer because I'm like oh
my customers maybe is me right that's
not entirely the case and so what it is
is like the younger generation went
natural maybe like five or ten years ago
and we kind of had that movement and now
the woman over 45 she's like well maybe
I should go natural and she's singing
that and she's on Facebook and that's
you know and there's no other platform
that she's owned like that right and so
she's having this a new experience she
doesn't want her head with her hair and
braids or twists or whatever because
they look too young she wants to wear
her hair down out so does she feel like
she feels like she can wear to work and
she needs a safe space to do that and to
learn how to do her here because there's
no huge channels like salons that do are
here yep right so where else you're
gonna go from information and so that is
why I think we have so much engagement
in our Facebook group because of the age
of our customer until I guess 60% are
over 45 but like my large percentage is
over 50 not over 55 and so now that's
gonna change some of our marketing so
now you know we have like a lot of young
girls and like our videos and like that
20-somethings
and now we're like well maybe we should
look more into people who have like
silver hair or people who just different
create turning them into influencers
which is tough because you don't find a
ton of women over 55 on Instagram
ya know so you have to be very creative
and you have to really either turn our 1
percent of customers into those
influencers which has been difficult
only because they don't have like the
cameras you know that you want you know
and so we have to like okay how can we
get them to create really high quality
video so that we can repurpose
so they'll make the videos they just
won't have like that like yellow
lighting and stuff you know so we just
have to we got a coach of it needs to
educational class
right right right
I know wash and go Wednesday is a very
cool thing that you folks are doing can
you talk a little bit about that and
what inspired it and kind of the results
were saying about so wash and go
Wednesday so every Wednesday as it says
Washington goes done but what's really
cool is Kevin's like super brave and so
she kind of like goes in her shower and
she has her clothes on guys she has a
comics t-shirt on and she does a washing
though on her hair and she kind of like
demonstrates the whole system and lets
people know just like nice tips and
tricks that they can use to make the
system easier for themselves and what's
really nice is that Tim her husband is
like filming it so there's a lot of
educational components too so he's like
throwing out trivia for people and it's
trivia about your hair so like did you
know that you know the follicle he's
very scientific so I can't repeat some
of the questions but it's just really
helpful to people to understand just
like their hair in general and so you
can reprise this from wash and go
Wednesday and it's really this whole
programming that we've done where
there's an email that goes out and so
it's like be prepared like mark your
calendars and we use like really catchy
subject lines like will only wait three
more minutes or one time we sent the
best email that we sent out for washing
the Wednesday was we made it look like
the Google Calendar and bright like
accepted oh wow and it did like the open
rate was like ridiculous on that one and
I was like note to self
try try versions of this so then we go
over here and the systems our package
since how I put them in step one two
three and four and then once AJ is done
packing up before we close the printer
system and then we put the label on the
bottom watch uncle Wednesday yes how
didn't you come with that idea I'm a
mastermind called traffic sells a profit
and one of the women in our group she
does like these like live QVC type
things or she tries on her different
jewelry pieces and it's that any other
and it was a really a huge way for her
to engage with our customers it was a
friend of mine I think this is cool I
don't know if this will work for hair
you know I'm just
I'm not gonna look at it but then I
would get so many customers like oh
we're like your products don't work on
type or hair I don't like what like my
hair type or how could you say that I'm
the founder like I would never make
products that don't work on my hair and
so they my my customer service manager
crystal she was like or such a chief
customer officer sorry promotion and
she's like Kim you have to show them you
have to do a video and I was like we're
doing video I've made the video we
turned into an ad it did better than all
of our other edge I was like oh my gosh
they want to see me do my hair so then I
was okay it's just like we should go
like no you think you should just do it
as okay fine I'll go live and then we
start early like about about a year ago
and our customers loved it
like they were engaging they were
commenting our sales went up like during
the the night of like wash and go
Wednesday and we kept doing it and it
got more consistent people were like
really worried if I didn't come along
like a Wednesday like Kim what's going
on like you said you would be here and
then we give away things give away
prizes so not just like our products we
give away t-shirts for a brand and just
they love it I mean my goodness and some
people you'd be surprised you would
think okay she doesn't here every week
the same people are not coming back and
it's not true they are coming back I
know a lot of our customers by name
because of that so thankful Ellen
Cindy Wallace like I mean it's hilarious
and you're the same before active in the
Facebook group but it's like they feel
they get something that they never get
from another kicker brand which is like
knowing the founder knowing what
products are coming next from the found
are getting to talk to them I'm in my
bathroom with my husband and he's built
he's recording for personal
relationships of scale you know
yeah very cool thank you and so are you
offering any promotion with the washing
of Wednesday or kind of how are you mhm
so with wash and go wins it so it's not
messaged we're not like outwardly
Messinger messaging that so like when
you see the notifications just like hey
win some prizes come see her do her hair
live in the shower it's gonna be awesome
and we use like animations and gifts of
her like doing her hair so it's like
wait what is this looks interesting
right always for that part but then when
you're in the Washington go Wednesday
that's when it's messaged like hey this
is our special promo code for the day
use this get 20% off your order ends at
midnight very cool
[Music]
Owens marketing your email list or
website those channels are you thinking
about how you can continue to expand and
grow the brand's of those channels yeah
so one thing that we you just kind of
recently introduced is a new like lead
capture program that we have on site to
be able to have those like critical
points where customers are deciding if
they're purchasing or not and capturing
their email so understanding that like
building our email list is like super
pivotal to to the growth right it's one
of our most valuable channels that we
have and so and then taking that and
then really diving deep so with our
supplement ation and things like wash
and go Wednesday so now since that's so
successful we're kind of brainstorming
like other programming opportunities
that we can use where it's not
necessarily always about our Instagram
or always about Facebook and who knows
we might have our own you know platform
of sorts coming and in our kitchen this
is the room where it all started when we
first were here we were literally making
products in this room and shipping them
from this room May of last year so
things have changed we were in here very
tight any marketing strategies that you
are looking forward to developing this
year yeah so I would say our
subscriptions are one of those things
that we kind of have and we have it set
up but kind of fine-tuning that a little
bit more be nice to just have that like
revenue stream I'm like autopilot coming
through so maybe adjusting times maybe
even adjusting the information that they
may want from us and maybe just having
special curated even events or things to
make them feel like I'm a subscriber
like I'm a part of like this VIP club so
what's making them feel like that are
things that we're kind of like thinking
about and then also just diving deeper
into the personalization so since we
started our quiz and we start honing
into like a by hair type there's like a
wealth of opportunity
- like really even just I go down the
rabbit hole with them to each customers
