How do you market a controversial product? Ask Nancy Jarecki of
Betty Beauty, who has cornered the market on dye for “the hair down
there.”
Despite the thousands of products available there are
still many niches in the beauty industry that remain untapped. One of
those niches revealed itself to Nancy in a salon in Rome and it was
there that Betty was born.
Nancy decided that “betty” was a
catchy euphemism for a tricky subject and it has become the force
behind the marketing of this product. Listen in as Nancy shares her
fascinating story with the radio audience and learn about tapping into
a niche, category creators, and specialized marketing.
