With the help of advanced technology and well-strategized product programs, Nu Skin tries to capture greater market share and maintain growth momentum. The company’s long-term strategies stand on three key pillars — Products, Programs and Platforms. Under the company’s beauty products category, ageLOC Spa systems and ageLOC LumiSpa skin treatment and cleansing device delivered impressive results in 2021. The company’s ageLOC beauty products contributed 48% to its beauty product category revenues and 26% to total revenues in 2021. Under the wellness category, its three top-selling products were LifePak nutritional supplements, ageLOC Youth nutritional supplements and ageLOC TR90 weight management and body shaping system in 2021. During the second half of 2021 and continuing into 2022, the company is launching the Beauty Focus Collagen+ skincare supplement and ageLOC Meta nutritional supplement, which aids metabolic health.
The company has been successfully launching innovative beauty devices, which has now become an important part of its growth. In 2022, management expects to roll out two connected “input/output” devices. The devices will accumulate data to provide insights into consumer behavior, aiding the company to provide enhanced personalized experiences for consumers. Apart from product launches, Nu Skin’s well-knit product strategies and customer retention programs have been driving growth in several market locations. The company has also been executing cost-control measures to boost its profit scope.
Is all Rosy for Nu Skin?
Nu Skin delivered fourth-quarter 2021 results, with the top and the bottom line declining year over year. Sales leaders were down 13% to 61,515.Nu Skin’s customer base declined 12% to 1,367,559. A decline in customers and sales leaders can mainly be attributed to ongoing softness in Mainland China business, pandemic-related operational disruptions in Southeast Asia as well as economic challenges in Latin America. Nu Skin highlighted that many of its Asian markets like Mainland China continue to face strict lockdowns as well as restrictions on in-person sales events and promotional activities
In fact, the company projects revenues of $590-$560 million that include unfavorable currency impacts of 2-3% for first-quarter 2022.
