About the Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards

Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards

LUXlife is excited to announce the launch of the Health, Beauty & Wellness Awards 2023, a programme that we have now proudly hosted for seven consecutive years! We are looking forward to sharing the upcoming 2023 winners with our international audience of high-net-worth professionals, who are eagerly anticipating the return of these popular awards!

The pandemic caused significant financial strain for many industries, and with lockdowns confining the public to their houses and forcing most Health, Beauty, and Wellness service providers to close their doors, this sector was no exception to these pressures. While this did result in a sales downturn during 2020, there was an unprecedented bounce-back following this, with 2021 being a record year for revenue.

This upwards trend has showed no signs of slowing, with factors such as rising disposable incomes, the spread of e-commerce, technological and product developments, and the influence of social media all contributing to this continued success in the Health, Beauty, and Wellness industry. The shift from in-store to online shopping has led to major customer experience innovations, with companies focused on finding new ways to provide their clients with a more personalised service. Digital solutions including virtual reality, cutting-edge colour matching tools, and online quizzes have been introduced to optimise the browsing experience and make more customised product recommendations for shoppers.

These advancements have been perfectly timed, as the more tech-savvy Millennial population are becoming the dominant Health and Beauty consumer base worldwide. In addition to technology, Millennials have also influenced the business market in a much more health and environmentally conscious direction. They are already demonstrating above average spending on personal care in comparison to previous generations, and this is the driving force behind the boom in clean and eco-friendly lines across the Skincare, Makeup, and Beauty space.

Studies have shown that people are more likely than ever to consider their health when making purchasing decisions, and the remarkable growth of the Health and Wellness industry over recent years can be attributed to this. Consumers are prioritising their wellbeing in both work and personal settings, which has significantly increased demand in segments like Wellness Tourism and Corporate Wellness. This presents an exciting opportunity for start-ups and indie businesses to capitalise on the healthy lifestyle revolution and make their mark in this dynamic and thriving industry.

The aim of the Health, Beauty and Wellness Awards 2023 is to recognise these market-leading companies who stand above their competition and provide high-quality luxury products, services, and treatments which an elite clientele appreciate and expect. We undertake a thorough selection process based entirely on merit to ensure that only the most deserving are awarded.

LUXlife Magazine is the perfect platform to reach an esteemed audience of wealthy professionals across the world, and our successful awardees will have the option to promote their brand to our circulation through various editorial, digital, and physical marketing tools. Celebratory packages offered as part of the Health, Beauty and Wellness Awards 2023 include a range of coverage levels, from free-of-charge to premium inclusions.

Methodology

How it works

Criteria

We operate an open-vote policy, whereby any organisation can put themselves forward or be nominated by a third party. Votes are cast anonymously via our secure online portal. Voting is promoted digitally to LUX magazine’s extensive circulation, across our social media platforms and where appropriate, across our partner network. We, the publisher, also nominate candidates whom we feel are appropriate and deserving of recognition. The number of votes is not directly influential to the ultimate category winners.

All nominees will be contacted and given the opportunity to accept, or decline, their nomination. Only those who accept, will go on to form our shortlist.

Our specialist researchers scrutinise the shortlisted candidates, putting them through a period of extensive investigation prior to judging where we will make the ultimate decision. We review supporting evidence submitted by the nominees in addition to conducting our own independent research. The probe is typically centred around the evaluation of skills and services on offer; we will consider client and customer feedback and testimonials whilst recognising the nominee’s wider market reputation.

To move successfully, from nominee to winner; there must be evidence of extensive expertise within a given field or discipline, dedication to customer service and client satisfaction with an ongoing commitment to excellence and innovation.

After notification of their success, our winners are given a time-frame to discuss the celebratory items on offer. We are proudly not a pay-to-play enterprise with all winners encouraged to select a promotional package, be it commercial or free of charge.

When we make the formal announcement, we again reach out to LUX magazine’s extensive circulation, as well as our social media followers and, where appropriate, across our partner networks to promote the news.

FAQ

When did LUX launch?
Today, LUX is one of AI Global Media’s most popular standalone publications but it launched as a bi-product of the luxury lifestyle sections from two of our flagship brands, Acquisition International & Wealth & Finance. In this respect, we’ve been active in the Lifestyle Sector since 2010; however, as demand for this type of coverage increased, we made the decision, in 2015, to separate the content and launch LUX, as an independent brand.

Who nominated me?
A large part of the nomination process is driven by LUX, we spend a great deal of time identifying potentially suitable candidates within their appropriate markets. A publisher-cast nomination doesn’t hold any more weight than a self, or third-party nomination, they all filter through to the research stage in the same manner.

If you didn’t self-nominate the nomination will have come from either a third-party vote via our online voting form or, by us the publisher. We run the nomination process via our website entirely anonymously, prohibiting us to provide specific details. Tried and tested over the years, response rates are always higher this way. As we operate in this manner, we run a very rigorous filtering system and do not directly link the number of votes received with success. We store encrypted versions of the IP address associated with the nomination, allowing us to track unusual behaviour.

I’ve accepted the nomination, what happens next?
Once a nomination is accepted, the organisation will be moved on to our shortlist. Shortlisted parties are encouraged to submit supporting materials via our optional questionnaire. This is the perfect opportunity to put forward any specifics you’d like our judging panel to take into consideration before they undertake extensive research for up to 8 weeks.

Who makes the final decision?
We have an entirely unbiased internal panel. It consists of an international, collective of individuals, with backgrounds from a myriad of fields, such as business, economy, politics, media, journalism, history and education. The panel is led by a veteran academic leader with international pedagogic and coaching experience who is well versed in research, fact-checking and mediation; allowing the panel to operate with efficacy and dependability.

When’s the ceremony?
We do not gather our winners together to present the news. We’re a little bit too new-media for that! All announcements are made digitally, online and across our network. Hosting events and celebration dinners is an expense we’d rather our clients not entertain. We’d much rather keep the cost of our services and products low, so our winners can choose to spend money on marketing that generates real-world value.

So, what happens if I do win?
You get to select the level of coverage that suits you and we set to work to prepare all the relevant elements in time for our public announcement. Our main coverage takes the form of a digital winner’s magazine, but we also offer physical trophies, certificates and varied online packages offering social media exposure.
We have a highly experienced editorial and production department who will guide you through this process and give you full control over your eventual coverage.

What are the costs?
There are no obligatory costs in accepting a nomination or winning a LUX award. In fact, to demonstrate our commitment to this, all our winners are offered a free of charge promotional package. Our company policy will always remain, regardless of budget, our clients should always be able to leverage the value of the award and our seal of approval.

We offer a variety of promotional opportunities to our winners. as we have an extensive network and we know, more than anyone, the wider business benefits from promoting industry awards.

It’s important to highlight, all conversations pertaining commercial add-ons are conducted after winners are announced, so there is no possibility an organisation can influence any internal decisions, based on their appetite to spend on marketing; this remains our utmost concern.
