    • Brazil: Strong emphasis on vibrant self-expression balanced with natural enhancement
  2. Product Evaluation Process
    • US/UK: Heavy reliance on peer reviews and social proof; research-intensive

    • US/UK: Omnichannel with strong digital preference; in-store for experiential only
    • India: Growing digital adoption but still values in-store consultations in urban areas

Underserved Segment Analysis: First-Generation Indian-American Gen Z Women

This segment experiences unique challenges navigating between traditional Indian beauty practices and Western beauty culture. They often feel underrepresented in mainstream beauty marketing and struggle to find products that address their specific skin concerns while honoring their cultural heritage.

 

Recommendations

  1. Product Adaptation
    • Develop skincare formulations addressing specific concerns of South Asian skin types
    • Create makeup shades explicitly tested on diverse skin tones within this segment
    • Consider product innovations that blend traditional Ayurvedic ingredients with modern formulations
  2. Messaging Strategy
    • Feature authentic stories of first-generation Indian-American women navigating dual cultural identities
    • Highlight how products complement rather than replace traditional beauty rituals
    • Use bilingual elements strategically in certain communications
  3. Channel Strategy
    • Prioritize TikTok and Instagram where this segment actively discusses beauty topics
    • Partner with South Asian community events on college campuses
    • Explore specialized beauty retailers with strong multicultural focus
  4. Customer Experience
    • Provide consultation services that understand South Asian skin concerns
    • Create content addressing specific concerns (hyperpigmentation, matching foundation to undertones)
    • Develop virtual try-on technology calibrated specifically for diverse skin tones

 

Implementation Roadmap

  1. Conduct in-depth interviews with 30+ first-generation Indian-American Gen Z women
  2. Develop prototype messaging and product concepts based on findings
  3. Test concepts through digital focus groups across target markets
  4. Pilot adapted product line and messaging in three metropolitan areas with high concentration of target segment

Pro tips

Multi-Cultural Audience Research Framework
  • Avoid assumptions about cultural homogeneity – recognize significant variations exist within cultural groups across regions, generations, and socioeconomic backgrounds
  • Include members of the target cultural groups in your research team to ensure authentic interpretation of findings
  • Test your adaptations with cultural insiders before wider implementation to avoid potential missteps or unintended implications
  • Consider how different cultural dimensions interact with each other rather than viewing them in isolation
