Sister Strategy: A Case Study in Lash Loyalty
I Trusted My Gut—and the Data Followed
When I was brought on to analyze product performance for a lash brand, I wasn’t just looking at numbers—I was listening for the whispers behind them.
At first glance, the Eyelash Growth Serum had decent sales. Respectable. Predictable. But if I’ve learned anything, it’s that predictable doesn’t always mean profitable—and it definitely doesn’t mean strategic.
So I asked myself a simple question:
What’s the emotional hook here?
I dug through survey results, skimmed TikTok comments, and boom—there it was.
67% of customers said they feel bare without lashes.
That word—bare—hit different. That’s not just about vanity. That’s identity. That’s confidence. That’s marketing gold.
So I pitched an idea that wasn’t even on the table yet:
Let’s bring in a “sister product.”
Enter: the Magnetic Lash Set.
It wasn’t about launching a new product for the sake of it. It was about storytelling. Creating a system. If the serum was the ritual, the Magnetic Lashes were the transformation.
And guess what happened?
Not only did the Magnetic Lash Set outperform the serum in revenue and conversion rate—especially in the post-launch segment—but it became the gateway drug (in the best way possible). Customers were hooked by the instant gratification, and then stayed for the long-term growth journey.
• Revenue per unit? Higher.
• Post-launch conversions? Higher.
• Visual appeal? Through the roof.
• Strategy? Proven
The Takeaway?
Don’t underestimate the power of marketing intuition paired with data.
Don’t be afraid to introduce a sister product when you see the story writing itself.
And for the love of lashes—always listen when the customer says they feel bare. That’s not feedback. That’s a flashing neon sign.
I didn’t just pitch a new SKU. I helped the brand build a system that told a complete story—and the numbers backed it up.
