Expertise and Personalization: our standard of work
100% of alliance members regularly train and certify their staff on ingredient compositions, component compatibility, and skincare selection.

Network consultants are K-Beauty experts — not shelf salespeople.
  • Training & Certification
    All consultants undergo regular training: formulations, actives, mechanisms of action, skincare protocols.

    The consultant works with the customer at the level of an aesthetic cosmetologist — not reading off the packaging, but building a personalized skincare protocol.
  • AI Diagnostics & Personalization
    In-store skin diagnostics devices enable personalized skincare selection for each individual customer. Personal profiles, purchase history, loyalty system — resulting in high LTV and consistent repeat purchases.
  • Full Routine Sales: selling the complete skincare system
    Consultants build a complete skincare ritual: toner → serum → cream → SPF. They use skincare trackers, personalized protocols, and ongoing customer guidance.
    Average order value is 40% above market — the result of system-based selling by trained experts.
  • Consistent customer base growth
    The customer base strategy is built on bringing buyers back for repeat purchases and immersing them in the philosophy of Korean skincare. We deliver K-Beauty as a complete system — with rituality, quality, and skincare as a long-term investment in oneself.
Expertise and Personalization
We don't sell cosmetics — we change customer habits through K-Beauty.
The customer adopts a complete skincare system, not a single product. Average spend per brand grows 2–3x. Customers return because they see real results from a full skincare routine.
How we launch a cosmetics brand: a managed program
Joining the alliance is a managed launch program built on a marketing strategy tailored individually for each brand. 130 stores operate in sync following a unified scenario: an in-store activation event at every retail point, combined with a large-scale PR campaign across Instagram*, VKontakte, and Telegram.
    1. Before the launch: every consultant knows the brand and knows how to sell it
    All 85 owners and their teams go through training: ingredients, key assets, brand philosophy, skincare routine, sales scripts, product testing. Consultants integrate the brand into skincare protocols following AI diagnostics. The brand doesn't just "appear on the shelf" — it becomes a high-ticket sales product.
  • 2. Launch Day: a unified social media campaign across all of Russia
    85 store accounts publish content simultaneously — Instagram, Telegram, VKontakte. 120+ local blogger-partners amplify in sync. Combined reach — over 2 million targeted contacts, audience aged 25–50, anti-age segment. Brand awareness across 80+ cities — within the first 48 hours.

    *The brand only needs to provide FOC and GWP (PR boxes / sets / samples) — we handle all seeding work and deliver full performance reporting
  • 3. Brand Days: your brand becomes an event.
    A brand client day in each of the 130 stores — immersion in the brand philosophy, ingredient presentation, product testing, gifts for first-time buyers. Emotional connection with the brand at launch is the key loyalty driver for the Russian consumer.
  • 4. Protected Retail Environment: RRP control and brand image protection.
    RRP compliance is a condition of alliance membership. Violation = exclusion. The brand is protected from dumping and price wars across the entire network for the full duration of the partnership.
  • 5. Expert Selling: average transaction 40% above market.
    ₽3,200 average transaction in alliance stores (vs ₽1,800 market average) — the result of professional skincare system selection. The consultant sells a 3–5 step skincare routine, not a single product. The customer returns because they see results.
  • 6. Monthly Brand Report: производитель знает своего клиента
    Ежемесячный отчёт: продажи по SKU и городам, портрет покупателя, топ-продукты и слабые позиции. Через 3 месяца производитель знает российский рынок лучше, чем любой дистрибьютор — за 3 года.
Brand Launch
When 130 stores and 220+ bloggers publish content about one brand simultaneously — algorithms read it as an organic trend. 2 million targeted contacts in 48 hours. This cannot be replicated by a single distributor.
Marketing Approach: the brand lives in every city
Diagnostics and skincare trackers
Network cosmetologists conduct personal skin diagnostics — including with AI-powered devices — and create individual skincare routines. The brand becomes embedded in the client's daily routine as part of a system. The tracker records results and motivates the next purchase.
Brand days and new product presentations offline
In each of the 130 stores, regular brand client days take place: ingredient demonstrations, new product breakdowns, live immersion in the brand philosophy. An offline event creates an emotional connection that no banner can replace.
Working with local micro-Influencers and creators
Each community member has partnerships with 3–5 local bloggers in their city — long-term relationships with an audience that already trusts them. 220+ bloggers in 80+ cities create an organic brand presence.
Beauty Passport, "Build Your Routine" and Beauty Box
Promo mechanics: Beauty Passport — a loyalty program that communicates the philosophy of systematic skincare; "Build Your Routine" — a comprehensive selection with diagnostics; limited seasonal beauty boxes — a tool for impulse purchases and the gifting segment. Each mechanic increases the transaction by 100–200%.
Promo Support = Automatic Priority in Recommendations
Brands that provide official testers for each location, samples, sachets, and PR materials for local bloggers automatically receive priority in recommendations, shelf placement, and inclusion in seasonal Beauty Boxes. The brand simply needs to provide FOC/GWP — we handle all activation.
Portfolio: brands that alliance members regularly sell
90% of the network's assortment is Korean cosmetics. Top brands by sales volume in 2026:

  • Celimax

  • Medicube

  • Dr. Althea

  • VT Cosmetics

  • Anua

  • Round Lab

TOP 2026
All six brands were introduced to the network by the owners themselves — through offline stores, expert recommendations, and local marketing, despite marketplace price undercutting. Each one went from its first purchase order to stable demand through the efforts of the alliance. In 2025–26, Brand Days were held, along with limited Beauty Box launches for New Year and March 8th, selling out within 48 hours.
