School-Ready Skin + Style Picks

Campaign Concept

Theme: “School-Ready Skin + Style Picks” – Back-to-School Edition
Hook: Back to school never looked better — your wishlist is full of glow-ups, and now’s the time to make them yours. 📚💫

How It Works:

  1. Identify most-wishlisted beauty products trending among younger shoppers (teens, college-age, young professionals).

  2. Create a curated feed or email block with “Your Back-to-School Essentials” using wishlist data.

Highlight categories like acne control, lightweight makeup, SPF, and multipurpose products.

Industries Best Suited For

Skincare Brands Targeting Teens/Young Adults

Acne solutions, light moisturizers, SPF, and gentle cleansers all perform well in August. Wishlist-driven nudges feel personal and helpful.

Makeup Brands with Everyday Staples

BB creams, lip tints, setting sprays, and palettes for natural looks are great wishlist performers for back-to-school.

Fragrance & Body Care

Campus-friendly, compact perfumes or body mists are popular wishlist adds — and easy back-to-school purchases.

Beauty Retailers with BTS Bundles or Mini Sizes

Perfect time to drive conversions on bundle sets or limited-time offers curated for the classroom, locker, or dorm.

Why This Campaign Could Work

Back-to-School = Beauty Routine Reset

New semester, new start — students are looking to refresh their skincare and makeup routines. This campaign meets them with the exact wishlist picks they’ve already shown interest in.

Turn Wishlists into Campus-Ready Checklists

By showcasing top wishlisted beauty items, you create a curated, low-friction path to cart — especially for Gen Z and college shoppers looking for everyday essentials.

High Engagement Among Beauty-Obsessed Demographics

This campaign capitalizes on a moment when younger shoppers are most active, visual, and routine-oriented — driving both wishlist shares and conversions.

Great for Bundles + Multi-Step Products

Back-to-school shopping often includes haul behavior. Trending wishlist items help you surface perfect products to complete those carts.
