A Look At The Growing Beauty And Wellness Space — And Some Companies To Keep Your Eye On

Benzinga

The beauty and wellness industry is currently experiencing a renaissance according to many, and companies can thank the younger generations and TikTok. TikTok has become a hub for all things beauty and wellness and in turn, could be the next big marketing gold mine. TikTok and other social media apps are allowing customers to view and experience products like never before. A potential customer can watch a video of someone unboxing a product, applying it and even see how the product survives a busy day. Social media has become the premier beauty destination, and products or companies that go viral on TikTok see massive success. Products that go viral, like the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand, are often sold out for months. The numbers are impressive, too. The #beauty hashtag on TikTok currently exceeds 100 billion views. Studies show that most social media users access the app 12 times per day, with an average of 52 minutes per day. The organic and word-of-mouth nature of apps like TikTok is deeply impacting the wellness and beauty world. The growth in the beauty industry isn’t limited to certain brands doing well. Asian skincare and beauty products are witnessing massive growth in European and North American markets. In 2022, revenue in the beauty and personal care market in Asia amounts to $210.9 billion and is expected to grow annually by 6.39%. Between brands going viral on social media apps and Asian beauty interest being piqued by K-Drama and K-Pop pop-culture sensations. It is clear that the beauty and wellness industry is on the path to continued growth and could be worth market investors keeping their eyes on going into 2023. Beauty And Health Companies To Watch In 2023 L’Oreal S.A. (OTC: LRLCY ) saw some supply chain obstacles in the years past primarily due to COVID-19 but expects to bounce back completely in 2023. The company has recently invested in research and development (R&D) as well as hired additional employees to assist with its ramp-up in 2023. Ulta Beauty Inc. (NASDAQ: ULTA) is one of the leading cosmetic suppliers in the United States. Ulta may have performed relatively well in 2022. Its most recent financial report saw the company increase net income by 17.8%. The growing interest in the wellness and beauty space is a contributor to Ulta’s increased performance. Yoshitsu Co. Ltd. (NASDAQ: TKLF) is a Tokyo-based provider of health, wellness, beauty products, home goods and food. Asian Market is the company’s primary focus but it is expanding retail locations into cities in North America, Australia and the United Kingdom. Yoshitsu is also considering opening a distribution center in the U.S. to help with fulfillment times. In China (Hong Kong), the company has a growing number of retail locations and has expanded its brick-and-mortar roots into a successful e-commerce company. Yoshitsu could be poised for expanded growth as the supply chain returns to normal following the pandemic. The growing interest in Asian beauty companies also positions Yoshitsu to potentially perform well in 2023. This post contains sponsored advertising content.

Samsara Luggage Takes Charge of Travel Tech

Benzinga

The holiday travel outlook is shaping up well for Samsara Luggage as the travel brand reports celebrating unprecedented growth after the launch of its smart luggage and travel accessories — products that are made to ease the travel experience as the industry continues its recovery after a 2-year upheaval due to the pandemic. Holiday travel is kicking off this week with many wondering what to expect after a turbulent summer season where staffing was short and lost luggage made the headlines. Air travel is expected to increase beyond pre-pandemic numbers according to PwC’s annual Holiday Outlook report. Air travel has picked up again, with almost half of travelers — 46% — planning to fly, up from 40% in 2021 and 33% in 2020. The last peak in travel was marked with complications, with overbooked planes, long wait times, canceled flights and over a million lost bags in the U.S. between January and June 2022. The percentage of lost bags, when compared to 2019, is 30% more. As the travel industry’s recovery continues, Samsara Luggage Inc says they are well-positioned to help improve the traveler experience. Samsara Luggage Inc has come up with a clever way to ease stress among travelers and provide customers with a seamless and easy traveling experience. Awarded Special Mention in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2022 list, Samsara Luggage has designed a line of suitcases with an embedded Apple AirTag. The suitcase can be tracked using the Find My app on the iPhone. Now, travelers can stay a step ahead by accessing information about their lost or stolen luggage using their personal mobile device. Samsara Luggage’s Tag Smart suitcase is designed with a durable aluminum frame and TSA-approved combination locks that keep the AirTag protected. The Tag Smart technology is meant to help change the game for travelers by creating a lower-stress experience by letting travelers know where their valuables are at all times. Samsara Luggage Is Partnering With Big Brands To Bring Its Tech Luggage To More Consumers In October, Samsara Luggage made its debut at Tommy Bahama retail stores around the country. "Samsara's presence in a fleet of Tommy Bahama retail stores is a milestone for the company," says Atara Dzikowski, Co-founder & CEO, Samsara Luggage. "The exemplary customer experience and hospitality that the Tommy Bahama stores are known for made the decision to come out of the web and into the brick-and-mortar space an easy one. We are thrilled to give everyone curious about Samsara the opportunity to see the quality of our products in-person for the first time."

100 Additional Small Businesses Owned by Women and People of Color in Oakland to Each Receive a $10,000 Grant from Comcast RISE, Bringing the Total Oakland Investment to $2 Million

Comcast California

Comcast today announced it will award an additional $1 million in grants to 100 small businesses owned by women and people of color, including Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and Asian American owners, among others, in Oakland, bringing the total to $2 million to date. These recipients are part of the more than 9,500 entrepreneurs nationwide who have been selected as Comcast RISE awardees since November 2020. Oakland was one of five cities, including Chicago, Miami, Oakland, Seattle, and Washington, D.C., that was selected to award a $10,000 grant to 100 local businesses from the Comcast RISE Investment Fund, for a total of $5 million across 500 businesses, bringing the amount awarded nationwide to $21 million to date. Through Comcast RISE, the company also announced it will support 13,000 small businesses, owned by people of color and women, with monetary grants; a TV campaign, production of a TV commercial or consulting services from Effectv; or computer equipment, internet, voice, or cybersecurity from Comcast Business by the end of 2022. “We started our tamales business as a street food vendor in the Mission and eventually opened our storefront. Nice months ago, we relocated to a busier location in the Swan’s Market, which was an expensive move,” said Reyna Maldonado, co-owner of La Guerrera’s Kitchen, a family affair run with her mom. “Thanks to the Comcast RISE Investment Fund, we’ll be able to re-invest the funds back into our business.” In addition, Comcast RISE invests in ongoing mentorship and resources to help businesses succeed in the long run. The program has partnered with Ureeka, an online platform for entrepreneurs, to provide grant recipients with business coaching to help build skills in company foundation, growing customers and financial stability. All Comcast RISE recipients will also have a specialized online networking community within Ureeka with access to educational resources, sources of capital, and vetted experts such as U.S. Black Chambers, National Asian Pacific Islander Chamber of Commerce & Entrepreneurship, U.S. Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, Association for Enterprise Opportunity, Walker’s Legacy and Operation Hope.

Can Artificial Intelligence And Big Data Help Predict The Future? Read how FiscalNote (NYSE: NOTE) Uses Predictive Analytics.

Benzinga

In complicated multivariable environments, there is no such thing as certainty. Just like the outcome of a soccer game can be impacted by nearly every touch of the ball on the field, other multivariable environments, like a political election or a pandemic, can be impacted by innumerable factors. This makes hunting for a certain outcome a difficult task. With certainty out of grasp, the next best thing becomes calculating probability, a far more feasible alternative. The rise of big data and artificial intelligence (AI) has radically altered the ease with which one can achieve this. With a big enough data set and a well-designed methodology, computer programs can glean hundreds of thousands of data points and categorize outcomes under certain probabilistic brackets. Users of this technology can reap significant benefits in complicated multivariable environments, especially if competitors do not possess this information. For example, it’s easy to envision how knowing that a certain market movement is likely to occur grants traders an edge over more ignorant competitors. The problem: This information is not easy to get. Luckily, certain entrepreneurs have made it their business to create predictive technology. Tim Hwang of FiscalNote Holdings Inc. (NYSE: NOTE), for example, has created a business that specializes in collecting data and repackaging it into actionable insights. Built on popular modern cloud technology, FiscalNote’s Predata Platform leverages big data and AI to predict probabilistic outcomes in highly uncertain environments, reportedly granting their users a huge edge over competitors. A FiscalNote Case Study: Predicting COVID-19 Movement During the onslaught of the COVID-19 pandemic, individuals who could ascertain the trajectory of the virus had supreme advantages over others. With knowledge of the virus’s next likely destination, governments, for example, could set up proper fortifications, and investors could hedge or liquidate positions. FiscalNote’s Predata Platform reportedly achieves this predictability goal. By measuring the finite distribution of human attention on social platforms, Predata’s patented methodology turns anonymized web traffic metadata into quantifiable measures of attention to individual narratives, topics and themes. This can then be used to predict the likelihood of events. At some point in the pandemic, for example, the Predata platform recognized that “global interest in the outbreak was increasingly driven by Italian- and Japanese-language audiences.” The sudden spike in interest from Italian- and Japanese-speaking demographics led to a prediction that COVID-19’s next outburst would be in those areas. “Four days after the Predata alert, Italian authorities reported a sharp rise in coronavirus infections,” FiscalNote says. Predata users were sent individualized alerts of this prediction before it was vocalized by media outlets around the globe. FiscalNote’s Predata platform has been used to make several complicated predictions, ranging from Iran’s possible retaliation to the United State’s Soleimini strike to the risk of an oil supply shock. With the tools to simplify complicated datasets and arrange them into actionable insights, FiscalNote reportedly provides its customers access to some of the most valuable information on the market — before it hits the market. Post-midterm elections, this unique service seems more important than ever. See how FiscalNote can help you prepare for future events here. This post contains sponsored advertising content.
