BABTAC

A professional association representing UK beauty and spa therapists

Key results:

  • 65% more members (customers) in three years; 75% more in five
  • Improved member (customer) loyalty from 65%-85% each year
  • 497% return on investment for a winback programme delivering £90,000 in year one from returning customers; rising to 1,633% ROI and circa £100,000 in year two
  • Company rebrand which has re-established the prestige of the company and made it instantly recognisable
  • Submission of a 22 page response to a key Government review with six further face-to-face representations; in addition, management of the ongoing consumer and trade PR for the topic. This is still ongoing, but as a direct result of the submission by BABTAC and the continued representation, changed the course of the proposed legislation away from a ban on specific professionals, to support for cross-profession training paths.
  • Outsourcing of the magazine, increasing immediate advertising spend from circa. £5,000 per issue to circa £15,000 per issue in year one, making the magazine cost-neutral by year three at £33,000 per issue with profitability in the pipeline.

Testimonials

"When I started my role at BABTAC the brand was dated and perceived as old-fashioned and the company was experiencing steadily declining membership. apt identified the positioning of the BABTAC brand, the job it had to do and the all- important target audience before preparing a number of concepts for us. These included the brand, keywords, colour palettes, potential straplines and collateral examples. The process was incredibly fast (just 3 months) and we were really pleased with the results; since our rebrand we have seen an unprecedented growth. apt are easy to work with, offering a unique service with a true understanding of our strategies, remaining focused and respectful of our in house expertise."
