Every post generates a lot of reactions from users. That shows the success of this important media and the users’ interest.
We can see that users want an interactive contact with the brand.
SUGGESTIONS
- Sephora should answer to its customers all the time - The brand should be more interactive with its fans
and not just communicate on its products- It should communicate more on the value of the brand
