Estée Lauder

When you stop talking, you’ve lost your customer. When you turn your back, you’ve lost her.

Young Estée Lauder (born 1907, died 2004), was born to immigrant parents in the Corona, Queens section of New York City.  She began experimenting as a child with skin treatments her uncle cooked up.

In 1946, Estée Lauder founded the company that bears her name to sell makeup and perfume in high-end department stores around the world.

Lauder’s business philosophy centred on selling products she considered to be of the highest quality, and she used her products themselves as advertisements.

Lauder pioneered giving free samples at stores like Saks Fifth Avenue to hook customers. Although Lauder died in 2004, her grandson William still runs the company.

Lauder became a giant in the nascent beauty industry by making sure the quality of her products exceeded the expectations of her target market, namely wealthy society women.

Breaking the law en masse is not innovative or disruptive. It’s cheating.

Breaking the law en masse is not innovative or disruptive. It’s cheating.

If you had sat me down 5-10 years ago and asked me the top 5 things I would like to change about the taxi industry, within about 20 minutes of brainstorming I would have nailed all 5 of the ‘innovations’ that Uber has implemented. It’s all the rage to bag Uber right now, and that is not my point. I am bagging the people who think that Uber was innovative, or disruptive. Uber, as a business model, was simply to break the law en masse. Plain and simple.
