Release Summary: Bounty launches a unique new standalone health
and beauty website for women
Press
Release Body: Bounty, the UK’s favourite
parenting club has developed a unique new standalone
website for women. The site is designed to appeal to busy women,
who have lost their way when it comes to health, wellbeing, fashion
and beauty.
Research
conducted by Bounty
highlighted the opportunity for an empathetic website
for women, with the focus on interaction, helpful down-to-earth
advice and real case studies from respected sources and each other.
A
study of nearly 1,300 women conducted by Bounty
shows that a woman’s self confidence hits an all time low
after having a baby. One in two new mums admitted to feeling depressed
by the way they look. A staggering 73% said they felt in need of
a makeover and a quarter of mums said their partners rarely complimented
them on their appearance.
Almost
60% of the 1,300 women who took part in the survey said that celebrities
made them feel inadequate. Glossy magazines were also blamed for
piling on the pressure, with 42% of women saying magazines made
them feel less confident about the way they look.
Nearly
80% of mums said they needed fashion
and beauty advice on how to dress for their post-baby shape
and how to put a fashionable look together. One in two wanted help
to create a working wardrobe.
The
research proved pivotal in developing the initial concept for the
site. Andrew Thomas e-business director of Bounty explained:
“Despite the need for support and down-to-earth advice,
there simply isn’t anything out there delivering this type
of information in an engaging and relevant way. Women don’t
know where to turn for advice they can relate to which explains
why 85% says they would be very interested in a health and beauty
website with a more practical edge.”
Thomas
is confident that Looking
Good Feeling Great will be a big hit with many women
and provide health and beauty brands with a unique outlet for reaching
their audience.
“Our
website has been designed to help all women retain their identity
and stay empowered. It’s a very exciting development for Bounty
and a fantastic opportunity for brands to reach their consumers
in a totally empathetic environment.”
