Overview

BIOTOP PROFESSIONAL had long considered selling directly to consumers. The business was built on selling hair products to salons and wholesale distributors - and when the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, it was the catalyst that led them to realize their D2C ambitions.

Results

A Fully Customized U.S. Store in Under a Month

The website included new systems for order logistics and customer service, and together with the existing systems, the business seamlessly receives and fulfills online orders. A few weeks after launch, the company decided to offer order fulfillment worldwide.

About BIOTOP

A Natural Hair-Care Brand Sold Through More Than 20,000 Retailers Worldwide

BIOTOP PROFESSIONAL focuses on high-quality hair-care products formulated with ingredients selected to support hair health. The brand has traditionally distributed primarily through salons.

Challenges

When Salons Closed Worldwide, BIOTOP Needed a New Way to Reach Customers Directly

The main challenge was to launch a store in less than a month while also preparing for long-term success and international growth.
