A new life in the country was another chance for Kate Saint Maur and her husband after a business failure left them in dire straits in the city. She moved to the country and made, with little knowledge of farming and even less money to begin, a life and home that was not only self-sustaining but profitable. Here she explains how they transformed from city dwellers to independent farmers. She shares her acquired knowledge of how to grow fruit, vegetables, herbs, flowers, and small fruit, as well as how to keep bees, raise poultry and other livestock, and breed canaries. In essence, she shares how she made a go of it.- Summary by A. Gramour

💄 The Business of Beauty, 📈 Profit Figures, Landscape and Reach, 60 Second Women's Business
The beauty business can be profitable, but like any business, it depends on various factors. Here are some key points to consider:
Market Growth: The beauty market, which includes skincare, fragrance, makeup, and haircare, generated approximately $430 billion in revenue in 20221. It’s on an upward trajectory across all categories and is expected to reach approximately $580 billion by 20271.
Profit Margins: Generally, the beauty business has a profit margin of around 40%2. However, for beauty salons, profit margins can range from 2% to 17%3.
Competition: The landscape is becoming more competitive with the emergence of independent brands and new challengers1.
Consumer Behavior: Consumers, particularly younger generations, are driving shifts in the industry. They enjoy trying new brands, and their shopping behavior is influenced by both online and offline stores1.
E-commerce: E-commerce in beauty nearly quadrupled between 2015 and 2022, and its share now exceeds 20%, with significant runway ahead1.
Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs): In the UK, for example, the beauty industry is characterized by SMEs. There was a 25% increase in SMEs registered in 2022 compared to 20154.
While these points suggest potential for profitability, it’s important to note that success in the beauty business, like any other, requires strategic planning, understanding of the market, effective marketing, and excellent customer service. It’s also crucial to stay updated with industry trends and consumer preferences. So, while it’s possible to make a profit in the beauty business, whether it’s “easy” or not can depend on these and other factors.
