Their business model therefore replicates the “purchasing process of beauty products” in a 3 step approach: TRIAL, RECOMMENDATION and AVAILABILITY. - TRIAL: “Woman like to try the product before buying it” For trial they have developed Almabox, a subscription model in which woman receive a box with beauty samples.

They bring the necessary tools to allow consumers interact with the products and their beauty specialists, and they do that through social media and events in the real world. - And Finally, AVAILABILITY: Penetration of beauty retailing in LATAM is limited, and finding the product everyone is talking about is not always easy. For that they have developed Almashopping, their beauty e-commerce. At the end of the day, putting these 3 gears together makes a powerful mechanism. Alma Cosmerics is not the old marketing way, its the new way: Consumers market to each other and they build the path-to-purchase over the internet, where their consumers are!
