With Custom Landing Pages & Rapid Creative Ad Tests in Paid Social
Madison Reed was founded in 2013 with a single mission: to empower women to color their own hair with home delivery kits at a fraction of the price of traditional salons. Their promise was to provide luxurious home hair color products starting at just $22/month.
Madison Reed created a rich online experience, including a virtual try-on tool and color-matching quiz to help women select from 55+ shades, all free of ammonia and parabens.
THE CHALLENGE
Accelerate Growth
Since 2018, Primer has partnered with Madison Reed on Facebook marketing, aiming to dramatically ramp up new customer acquisition. For the first year and a half, the sole focus was to drive prospective customers to their online experience.
Then in 2019, Madison Reed came to Primer with a challenge to support their expansion into brick and mortar Color Bar locations.
Together, we needed to find big wins quickly with a new product offering, positioning in the marketplace, and brand pillars.
