Key Challenges in Advertising for Consumer Goods Brands

Beauty, health supplement, and F&B consumer goods brands all face the following common advertising challenges.

Need for target segmentation

The target audiences vary significantly by category: beauty products appeal to women in their 20s to 40s, health supplements to those in their 40s to 60s, and F&B to families and lifestyle-oriented consumers. Targeted advertising tailored to these specific segments is the most effective approach.

Encouraging repeat purchases

It’s not enough to rely on a single purchase; it’s important to cultivate repeat and loyal customers. We need to increase brand familiarity through repeated exposure to boost the repeat purchase rate.

Building Brand Trust

Health supplements and beauty products are high-involvement items where consumers carefully scrutinize ingredients and efficacy. Building brand trust before consumers even begin their search directly impacts conversion rates.

Key insights: The most effective way to boost advertising ROI for consumer goods brands is to focus on “consumers who have already purchased products in that category.” This is why Vertical Media, which possesses first-party purchase history data, delivers particularly high efficiency in consumer goods advertising.

3 Key Strategies for VM Consumer Goods Advertising

Lookalike audiences based on purchase history — We identify new customers with spending patterns similar to those of existing customers. We target segments with high conversion potential by focusing on customers who have purchased from competing brands and frequent buyers within the same category.

Seasonal and TPO-based advertising — We focus our visual merchandising efforts on peak consumption seasons, such as the spring transition period (beauty and skincare), the holiday season (gifts of health supplements), and summer (diet and sun care). This ensures that our brand is top of mind when consumers are most likely to make a purchase.

Encouraging Repeat Purchases — Cultivating Long-Term Customers — We run ads designed to encourage repeat purchases among customers who have not made a purchase for a certain period after their first purchase. This is a long-term campaign structure aimed at increasing the LTV (Lifetime Value) of consumer goods brands.

NAM — Directly Reaching Global K-Beauty Consumers

New Airline Media — Reaching Overseas Consumers with K-Beauty

We wrap international flights carrying foreign tourists visiting Korea with K-Beauty brand designs. This allows us to directly reach overseas consumers with a strong interest in K-Beauty, from the departure airport through the flight to their arrival in Incheon.

Detailed guide to New Airline Media →

There is a specific reason why NAM is particularly effective for K-Beauty brands. Foreign tourists visiting Korea are consumers who show a strong interest in K-Beauty and have a very high intent to purchase. This creates a seamless experience where they first become aware of K-Beauty brands at the airport in their home country and then make a purchase in person upon arrival in Korea.

Reaching K-Beauty fans in Japan and Southeast Asia directly — Japan and Southeast Asia are the markets with the highest demand for K-Beauty products. By wrapping K-Beauty brands on aircraft operating these routes, you can reach consumers who are already familiar with the brands and highly likely to make a purchase even before they arrive in Korea.

Instant purchase via in-flight QR code — Scan the in-flight QR code to instantly access the official online store, Coupang, and Olive Young pages. This enables an immediate conversion path where passengers can discover a brand for the first time during the flight and complete a purchase before landing.

Duty-Free Store and Olive Young Joint Promotion — In-flight advertisements offer discount coupons for Incheon Airport duty-free shops and Olive Young. This enables a seamless transition to offline purchases immediately upon arrival.

Advertising Strategies by Category

Beauty & Skincare

We run ads for new products and promotions targeting women in their 20s to 40s who have a history of purchasing beauty products via VM. By focusing our campaigns on the spring and fall transition seasons and the summer suncare season, we can accurately reach this audience at the peak of their purchasing intent. Through NAM, we target inbound travelers from Japan and Southeast Asia who have a strong interest in K-Beauty.

Dietary supplements

Consumers take a long time to make decisions about health supplements, and trust plays a decisive role in their purchasing decisions. We use VM to expose the brand over the long term to the 40–60 age group, who have a history of purchasing health supplements and pharmacy products. We focus our exposure ahead of holiday and year-end gift-giving seasons to target customers who are likely to buy gifts.

F&B·Food

Targeting premium consumer segments via VM is an effective strategy for premium food brands. We identify users with a history of spending in food delivery apps and dining-out categories, as well as those with a history of purchasing premium food products, and serve them ads for new products and promotions. During peak domestic travel seasons, we partner with NAM to run ads for in-flight meals and food and beverage options available during travel.
