What’s the difference between the cameras from Sony, Canon Olympus, Fuji & other brands? Hey 👋. I’m someone looking to invest in an actual camera after having spent a couple months “shooting” photos on a Google Pixel 7. I’ve seen videos on people debating as well as arguing on what camera brand is better, but I’ve never really understood why people get so obsessive over it. I’ve also talked to people who shoot on the streets and ask…

Budget Social Media Scheduling/Management Tool For Up and Coming Brands? I have a social media portfolio composed of three “brands” where I post different educational content around political science and history (i.e. history memes with fact-checked explanations, video essays, research articles, political polls with pro and con arguments). The idea is to bridge academic studies in the social sciences and humanities w…

When valuing companies, are brands worth more? I often read that e-commerce businesses are usually valued at around 3x annual profit. Does this also apply to established brands with a following? For example, if you have two companies: Fashion brand, sells on shopify mostly, well known brand, loyal following, 1 million profit per year Amazon seller, lots of different products not necessarily…

Is cross selling between brands a good idea? We currently sell few hair care products like shampoo and hair oil. Was recently approached by a friend who said they have skin care products which will pair well with my hair care products. I am okay with bundling the products as a new sku but he is also suggesting to have an external link for his products to his website. Is this a good idea? …

Switching makeup brands Hello All! I (37f) got roped into buying a ton of Lancôme products when I was 18 and have been using them as my makeup brand ever since (mum wasn’t big into makeup and just threw me at a Boots beautician lady). I’m looking to change brands as I don’t like how thick and heavy the Lancôme brand is and I just fancy a change. I grew up thinking you…

Why are orange colors called mauve? What are makeup brands thinking? This is maddening. I try to buy a desaturated purple color, and something orange arrives instead! Thankfully this makeup is clearly not mauve, but sometimes the online photos are misleading. And it’s not one brand. Now that I’m looking for mauves, I see it a lot. Like, what are makeup brands trying to communicate when they call peach mauve? Is t…

Which brands have the most untrue swatches? Some brands’ marketing swatches are just terrible and do not match the product colour at all. Lisa Eldridge and Tom Ford seem to be the worst, at least when it comes to lip products. What are some others where you know you’re going to have to look up some real life swatches before buying? submitted by /u/AtheistVeganWitch

Fashion brands on social media Hi!! I work for a footwear brand as the social media manager. Fairly new to role so looking for advice. The brand certainly has a new look and is currently trying to go after a younger consumer. As we are making that switch I understand it’s natural to lose followers. I also understand that the system gets rid of bot/fake accounts. So my questio…

Those Running Apparel and Fashion Brands: Question on Running Sales & Conversion Rates I run a DTC niche fashion brand and we typically do not do sales (maybe twice a year to get rid of some stock). But I’ve been running sales for the last two days and I’ve noticed (a) higher conversion rates (b) higher AOVs (c) better ad spend (2.9 ROAS to 4 ROAS). For context, we raised prices by 10% on average 3 days ago, an…

What brands do you think are over/under-hyped? Overhyped Rare Beauty A lot of the colors tend to have the same muted and/or warm undertones and don’t flatter everyone. I find it a bit boring, despite the products themselves being mostly good quality. I’m a Bright Spring so most of the colors Rare beauty puts out look pretty lackluster on me. Elf Their eye products tend to bug my eyes. My ey…

What makeup beauty trends, products, brands that are popular on social media do you disagree with and why? This can be personal opinions or even something you have seen collectively. Why should this trend not be as “hyped” as it has been. What makeup products do you believe aren’t as good as they are made out to be? In a time where influencing is at its peak we see a stem of bias from product promotion or even to be a part of the trend cycle. I thin…

My TikTok videos do really well but people think I should be letting them upload the videos themselves too, am I wrong about this? Am I getting ahead of myself for saying brands should pay?

I’ve gained 10k followers in the past few months and have 1.3m total likes. Admittedly, three vide…
