Where they started

Beauty Base is a UK fragrance and beauty retailer. In January the shop already had around 3,000 creators posting each month, but almost none of its revenue came from LIVEs: under 1% of GMV.

The brand’s own TikTok account had 40K followers.

What we did

LIVEs

Mega LIVEs and £1 auctions, from our Warrington studios.

We plan, present and produce every LIVE: hero offers, flash sales and prize draws for the monthly Mega LIVE, plus £1 auction LIVEs where our dashboard shows the profit on every lot while we’re on air.

Affiliates

Fewer creators, far more sales from each one.

We focus samples and briefs on the creators whose videos actually sell. Around 2,000 creators now post for Beauty Base each month, and each one sells over five times what a creator did in January.
