Bounty powers unique health and beauty website

Bounty, the UK’s favourite parenting club has developed a unique new standalone website for women. The site is designed to appeal to busy women, who have lost their way when it comes to health, wellbeing, fashion and beauty.

Research conducted by Bounty (http://www.bounty.com/ ) highlighted the opportunity for an empathetic website for women (http://www.lookinggood-feelinggreat.co.uk/ ), with the focus on interaction, helpful down-to-earth advice and real case studies from respected sources and each other.

A study of nearly 1,300 women conducted by Bounty shows that a woman’s self confidence hits an all time low after having a baby. One in two new mums admitted to feeling depressed by the way they look. A staggering 73% said they felt in need of a makeover and a quarter of mums said their partners rarely complimented them on their appearance.

Almost 60% of the 1,300 women who took part in the survey said that celebrities made them feel inadequate. Glossy magazines were also blamed for piling on the pressure, with 42% of women saying magazines made them feel less confident about the way they look.

Nearly 80% of mums said they needed fashion and beauty (http://www.lookinggood-feelinggreat.co.uk/ ) advice on how to dress for their post-baby shape and how to put a fashionable look together. One in two wanted help to create a working wardrobe.

The research proved pivotal in developing the initial concept for the site. Andrew Thomas e-business director of Bounty explained:

“Despite the need for support and down-to-earth advice, there simply isn’t anything out there delivering this type of information in an engaging and relevant way. Women don’t know where to turn for advice they can relate to which explains why 85% says they would be very interested in a health and beauty website with a more practical edge.”

Thomas is confident that Looking Good Feeling Great (http://www.lookinggood-feelinggreat.co.uk/ ) will be a big hit with many women and provide health and beauty brands with a unique outlet for reaching their audience.

“Our website has been designed to help all women retain their identity and stay empowered. It’s a very exciting development for Bounty and a fantastic opportunity for brands to reach their consumers in a totally empathetic environment.”
