Glenda Vaquerano, Public Relations & Social Media Manager for Sexy Hair Concepts, joins the Social Pros Podcast to discuss the social evolution of her brand from a direct sales mentality to education and inspiration for all.

Glenda Vaquerano - InstagramHair for All

With a wide variety of PR experience, from non-profit to ad agency to political campaigns, Glenda brings a unique perspective to social for a product like Sexy Hair Concepts. As she consciously transformed her position to fit the unique needs of her company, Glenda has taken it from a professional-only brand sold through salons to maintaining a perfect social engagement balance that is both B2B and B2C—helping distributor, vendor, and consumer alike.
Glenda’s clever approach to social staffing and product representation has evolved Sexy Hair Concepts from focusing only on direct sales to educating and inspiring consumers on all levels through all platforms.
The product is now carried in more than 45 countries, over 60,000 U.S. salons, and boasts an impressive 275,000 likes on Facebook and 31,500 Instagram followers.

In This Episode

  • How making content digestible for everybody can lead to an increase in B2B sales
  • Why corporate social media does not equal selling to your customers
  • How staffing professionals with no B2B social experience can lead to a more approachable brand
  • Why improperly vetted hashtags create irrelevant impressions
