What is the Metaverse?

The metaverse can simply be considered as the future of the internet. The Red Tree’s recent white paper The metaverse & the $5 trillion beauty opportunity introduces key terms, simplifies the most salient points and educates those in the beauty community who want to broaden their knowledge of an area that will become increasingly important to the beauty industry.

Why is this important for your brand?

Millennials and Gen Z, who are known early adopters, continuously seek interactive and immersive brand experiences. Wunderman Thompson (2023) reports that 70% of consumers who are familiar with the metaverse believe it will be a place to shop, and 68% believe it will be the future of ecommerce and online shopping. 

Brands such as Estée Lauder, Fenty Beauty and L’Oréal have created experiences in the Metaverse that allow consumers to interact with their brands in a new way. However, many of the current Metaverse platforms are out of reach for smaller brands. They are expensive, time consuming to build and lack crucial test and learn time.

The The Red Tree and ONEWAYX partnership will give one brand the chance to become an early adopter, lead within the space and empower their growth.
