The beauty industry has always been a booming sector but has become a formidable trend in recent years. Beauty products have long become part of the lifestyle of many Indonesians, and finding a local beauty brand is not difficult. The Association of Indonesian Companies and Cosmetics (PPAK Indonesia) estimates that the growth of the beauty industry this year will increase by 7%. To date, Indonesia has become a market for consumers who want to take care of themselves.
The positive prospects in the beauty industry in Indonesia have resulted in many local brands entering the market and making competition in the beauty industry even tighter. An interesting thing to note is that consumers in the beauty industry tend to have a high level of loyalty. So if a consumer feels that they like a particular brand, they are less likely to switch to another brand.
Therefore, brands engaged in the beauty industry need to continue to innovate in developing their products and their customer service, especially in the digital era today.
See How The Beauty Industry Sector Continues to Focus On Customers’ Interest
Apart from being innovative in creating quality products for its customers, the beauty industry in Indonesia must also focus on understanding its customers to survive. This is proved by several beauty brands, which are big players in Indonesia, such as Paragon, Avoskin, and Elsheskin.
Paragon’s Technology Innovation Offers Personal Shop Experience to Customers
As one of the largest cosmetic manufacturers in Indonesia since 1985, Paragon develops, manufactures and distributes various beauty brands. Paragon continues to innovate and develop the beauty industry with more than 10,000 employees who are also known as Paragonians.
Bringing value and implementing its vision to continue contributing to being the best beauty solution in Indonesia, Paragon is committed to staying focused on its customers. This commitment was proven when the lockdown in 2020 and 2021 impacted all retail stores that provide products from Paragon. Beauty advisors were not able to meet customers directly, which posed a huge challenge to earning sales.
Despite these challenges, Paragon realized its commitment to focus on customers by improving the capabilities of its existing beauty advisors by providing them with expertise in offering, consulting, and providing recommendations to customers online.
Paragon also decided to take advantage of the WhatsApp Business Platform, which is integrated into the Qiscus Omnichannel Chat, and set up a consultation platform named as an online beauty advisor — which was previously done offline. The use of the WhatsApp Business Platform has helped Paragon’s customer service team manage high volumes of messages, enabling direct consultation to increase sales and customer retention.
Furthermore, Paragon can offer a personal shopper experience through WhatsApp, which is integrated with Qiscus Omnichannel Chat by bringing an offline shopping experience online. This allowed customers to access detailed product information via conversations with Paragon’s customer service agents. This solution enabled beauty advisors to provide consultations and recommendations that suit each customer’s needs precisely and quickly.
In addition to providing a memorable customer experience for customers and achieving a customer satisfaction rate of 98.9%, Paragon’s decision to turn to WhatsApp Business API led to traffic increase by up to 600%.

Avoskin Uses Messenger API for Instagram to Stay Connected with Customers
Avoskin is a local brand from Yogyakarta which produces various types of skincare products. Various innovations and new products launched by Avoskin have made it increasingly popular among many people, especially women. The increasing number of Avoskin products has resulted in thousands of consumer messages received by the business on various communication channels, including Instagram.
In addition to various innovations and new products that are continuously launched, the needs and convenience of consumers are no less important for Avoskin. Therefore, every interaction and customer message that Avoskin receives on Instagram is one of the main things that the enterprise always focuses on to stay connected with customers.
Avoskin admits that they are flooded with messages on Instagram DMs and comments every day, so receiving more than 1000 messages everyday is nothing new to them. Overall, these messages always consist of frequently asked questions about their products or requesting for consultation before buying any product. However, the large number of messages on Instagram often overwhelms Avoskin’s customer service team. Using Instagram accounts simultaneously on multiple devices also puts Avoskin’s Instagram account at risk of being temporarily blocked.
After much contemplation, Avoskin turned to the Messenger API for Instagram with Qiscus Omnichannel Chat as a solution.
After integrating the Messenger API for Instagram with Qiscus Omnichannel Chat, Avoskin’s customer service team can now respond to every consumer message through the same dashboard without having to access the Instagram application directly. Avoskin also no longer worries about its Instagram account being temporarily blocked because it is accessed from many devices. Avoskin is now no longer overwhelmed with managing multiple customer messages and is able to appreciate every interaction that it makes to stay connected with its customers as it can now be carried out more smoothly.

By utilizing the Qiscus Omnichannel Chat service, ElsheSkin now integrates all its communication channels so that itsn team can easily access all its communication channels on one dashboard.
