We were lucky to catch up with Judith Chapman recently and have shared our conversation below.
Judith, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. What’s the backstory behind how you came up with the idea for your business?
Chic Allie emerged from the vision of establishing my own online business—a venture where I could curate a unique selection of products, craft my own brand, and, above all, contribute to a positive impact. The genesis of this journey unfolded during a shared makeup session with my mother, who is bravely battling leukemia. As we prepared for the day, she expressed, “No matter how I feel today, makeup always makes me feel more powerful and cheers me up.” In that poignant moment, the profound significance of makeup struck me. Beyond its aesthetic role, makeup possesses the remarkable ability to instill a sense of empowerment and beauty, irrespective of life’s challenges.
This realization inspired the birth of Chic Allie, not merely as a beauty brand, but as a mission-driven force to support women facing cancer. Unlike companies that often limit their impact to Breast Cancer Awareness month, Chic Allie is committed to making a meaningful difference throughout the entire year. We pledge a percentage of each sale to support women with cancer, underscoring our dedication to providing ongoing assistance.
Our commitment extends beyond the realm of makeup; Chic Allie is a platform dedicated to empowering every woman. Explore our blog and social media, and you’ll discover that Chic Allie stands for more than just beauty – it’s a movement that celebrates and uplifts women, fostering empowerment and support in every aspect of their lives.
Judith, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
Chic Allie stands committed to making a positive impact. Our mission is twofold: to deliver cutting-edge makeup through vegan and cruelty-free products while championing a cause close to our hearts – supporting women with cancer. Our product lineup currently features two standout innovations: the Eyebrow Stamp Kit and the Winged Eyeliner, both of which have taken social media by storm and become hot sellers.
As we expand our beauty collections, we maintain a steadfast commitment to creating products that are not only on-trend but also good for you, your skin, and the environment. Upholding high-quality standards is at the core of our ethos, ensuring that every Chic Allie product not only enhances your beauty but aligns with our dedication to excellence and environmental responsibility.
How did you build your audience on social media?
Cultivating a social media following isn’t a walk in the park – it’s a journey that demands time and creativity. Entertaining and connecting with your audience is the key. At Chic Allie, our strategy for expanding our social media presence revolves around demonstrating the application of our products. We collaborate with influencers and customers, tapping into their creativity to produce engaging content that showcases the unique features and benefits of our products. It’s not just about promoting; it’s about building a community that resonates with our brand and finds value in the beauty experiences we share.
Any thoughts, advice, or strategies you can share for fostering brand loyalty?
Harnessing the power of email marketing is the optimal approach to engage with our existing clients. Consistent and vibrant communication is key to ensuring our brand remains at the forefront of their minds, positioning us as their top-of-mind choice. By keeping the conversation alive, we not only foster brand recall but also establish a lasting connection that makes us their go-to option.
