This October, British Beauty Week returns for its 5th year, so get planning! British Beauty Week is a 5-day beauty festival initiated by the British Beauty Council, appealing to both industry professionals and consumers. The week is a call to celebrate our industry by sharing insights into what we do and why with the consumer. And highlights our influence on communities and the British economy. We want all sectors of the beauty industry, including hair professionals, to come together for events, shows, demos and promotions. This could be an excellent opportunity for you and your team to connect with others, promote what you do, and to learn new ideas. Encourage your team, your peers, your bosses and your clients to get involved. Planning your contribution could also be a great team-bonding activity.

More details
British Beauty Week explores different aspects of the industry, from environmental, social and governance to talent and growth. This means your involvement can be whatever you make of it. The British Beauty Council has a few ideas for you: Open your factory to visitors and help them understand the way you do business. This could be a great way to share practices that make your business more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Another idea is to host an in-store demo to show off your team’s talent. Certainly we know the benefits of sharing ideas and inspiration, ensure your team members know too.
Media impact
Added benefit? The British Beauty Council says that the festival has an influential media impact with the help of Mission PR. You can expect to reach new audiences and boost awareness about your brand or business. If your business is new or you want to expand your network, British Beauty Week could be the perfect time to meet consumers and connect with other professionals. In 2019 the event gathered a media reach of 1.2m…this year could be even bigger.
It is inspiring to see industry professionals come together to celebrate the hard work of everyone in the industry. We hope to see many of you getting involved.
