Social media
Ulta Beauty positions as one destination across mass and prestige beauty with salon services. One summary describes a large loyalty program after an August 2026 earnings call, and BeautyMatter reports Ulta's ad activity up year over year in Q3 2025 while Sephora's fell. Analysts frame the rivalry as different models: Ulta on breadth and visibility, Sephora on curation and prestige.
- Borrow Netflix's one-voice, many-accounts approach: niche community accounts for skincare, hair and fragrance that all sound like Sephora.
- Ulta is pushing harder on ads, so a curated expert-content series could defend the prestige position without matching ad volume.
- Publish loyalty perks chosen from community threads as a public 'you asked, we added' series.
