Cork Beauty and Fashion Events are bang on trend for style (and for market strategy)
Submitted on Monday, 11 June 2012

There has been a serious shift in the way in which companies communicate with consumers. Smart businesses realise that it is not just one way anymore and that through the internet consumers’ voices are growing louder and stronger by the day. Organisations such as COCO Beauty Spa & Clinic in Ballincollig and Bóthar recognise this and have developed deeper relationships with their customer base through an effective, interactive online presence and experiential events.

 This summer, Cork fashionistas and beauty enthusiasts have been spoilt for choice with a variety of high profile events occurring throughout the county.  COCO Beauty Spa & Clinic a gave a big thank you to their loyal customers this past Wednesday in the form of a VIP pampering evening to celebrate 7 years in business. The night also served as a platform to launch their medical grade Candela laser system. Proprietor Lisa O’ Mahony treated newcomers and VIP guests to an amazing evening with a variety of treatments, canapés and fun cocktails as DJ Ed Callanan added to the party vibe. Sandra Murphy and Christopher Harold from TV3's The Apprentice were seen getting into the swing of things and thoroughly enjoying themselves with Emer O’ Hea from 96fm.

Celia Holman Lee, well known style icon and owner of Celia Holman Lee Model Agency in Limerick gave some practical yet humorous styling and beauty tips, advising guests how to make the most out of their shape and extolling the benefits of good posture. Also spotted at the event were Paula Lenihan of RSVP Magazine, Maria Mullarkey and Shirley Murphy both from RTE’s Nationwide.  Guests were further spoilt with goody bags as the night drew to an end.
