Google Trends:

Sephora/ Revlon (online selling0

Google Trends Insights:

By observing the all-important things about my first brand Sephora I found that Sephora’s business is increasing day by day and their profit level/sales are also increasing continuously. The online sales of Sephora and their direct selling that’s increasing rapidly. On the other hand Revlon is also doing quite good to improve their business and they both have a high competition with each other. Their annual sales are continuously going to increase

Latent Semantic Indexing Keywords:

Sephora- blush Sephora, Sephora online survey, makeup sales, Sephora coupon etc.
Revlon-   Revlon hair products, Revlon makeup kit, Revlon brands, Revlon hair tools etc.

Summary:

Sephora’s strengths are they have their own recognizable image in the eyes of their consumers. Sephora has their own labels. They are also known for their branding and marketing strategies.
Revlon’s strengths are they are supporting several health programs for women. It is an international company they sale their products within 100 countries etc.

Areas that need improvement – Revlon have to improve their financial situation.
Sephora have to improve their business at global level.
The keyword sentences found on the sites were – products, sale, preference etc.

 

Conclusion:

As compared to both brands I found that Revlon has a quite good SEO as compare to Sephora because they provide the more information it’s easy to find it is surprising for me because I personally think that before my research that Sephora is better than Revlon.
