FLEX
Flex sells a potentially life-changing alternative to tampons.
This Shopify store raised $4.6 million in the first half of 2016 alone – and it’s
still going strong today.
Flex is a product that requires customers to change their behavior, in this case from
using tampons to using Flex.
This can prevent customers from buying, but Flex overcomes this challenge by publishing
lots of educational blog posts, FAQs, and customer testimonials.
This educational content is what turns skeptical browsers into customers--and monthly customers
at that.

NUTRISEED
Now how’s that for an awesome brand name?
Nutriseed is a Shopify store that’s all about nutrition.
As the name suggests, Nutriseed offers seeds, powders, and ingredients to complement a range
of healthy diets.
Nutriseed has grown exponentially in the last few years.
From their humble countryside beginnings, Nutriseed has moved up and into a state of
the art British manufacturing facility.
Now Nutriseed sells over 200 products a day.
Nutriseed employs some clever marketing techniques to spread the word about their brand.
For example, they encourage users to submit selfies with their product for a chance to
win a Nutriseed gift card.
Do you think that’s an awesome promotional strategy too?

SKINNYME TEA
SkinnyMeTea is an Australian company that sells all-natural detox teas.
Founded in 2012, their mission is to help people achieve their health and wellness goals.
Only 9 months after this Shopify store started, SkinnyMe Tea was earning $600k in monthly
revenue.
How did they do that?
Well, their marketing tactics played a big part in their success.
The homepage includes a pop up offering 15% off in exchange for an email address.
Once SkinnyMe Tea has the email address, SkinnyMe can employ email marketing tactics to turn
the browser into a buyer..
SkinnyMe’s success is also due to the fact that people trust the brand to make good on
its health and wellness promises.
SkinnyMe earns this trust by working with Instagram influencers like Lydia Millen, who
shared this post with her 721 thousand followers.

CONCRETE MINERALS
Concrete Minerals was founded in 2009.
This successful Shopify store is all about creating high-end 100% vegan, cruelty-free
cosmetics – with a unique twist.
Concrete Minerals believes in less and more — that is, less ingredients, and more pigment.
Their cosmetics contain no parabens or preservatives, and are also 100% gluten-free.
Concrete Minerals makes sure to highlight these facts throughout their Shopify store,
and this attracts potential customers who are passionate about natural, cruelty-free
cosmetics.
As is fitting for a Shopify store in the health and beauty niche, Concrete Minerals is really
pretty to look at.
They use eye-catching, vivid photography together with simple, bold icons to display their various
selling points in a way that allows their customers to easily understand them.
Concrete Minerals also offers customers free shipping worldwide on all orders of $50 and
above.
A tactic straight out of the Ecommerce 101 textbook.

KKW Beauty
The next Shopify store rocking the health and beauty market is KKW Beauty.
That’s KKW for Kim Kardashian West – you know, the famous Shopify store merchant.
KKW is the hugely popular beauty brand founded by Kim Kardashian West.
The products are very high in quality and usually sell out within minutes.
It is easily one of the top Shopify stores for cosmetics.
Of course, having Kim’s brand associated with everything helps move product.
However, it’s worth studying the store layout.
Notice how easy it is to see all of the products available at a glance.
The product photography is clear, and the descriptions are straightforward.
If you’re running a beauty store online, you’ll benefit from studying KKW’s store
design--even if you don’t have the advantage of working with a celebrity spokesperson.
