The Health & Wellness Wave

“As the idea of holistic health has taken root in society, marketers are exploring new ways of communicating with customers to promote wellness. ‘There’s a variety of promises that brands can make from a lifestyle point of view,’ says Melissa Gonzalez, principal at MG2. ‘It can be everything from new product offerings to sections of beauty departments that explain benefits in a wellness context to awareness of environmental issues.’

“A January 2024 report on holistic health from the MG2 Advisory group explores how marketers can capitalize on what it sees as the next wellness frontier: the retail store. ‘By evaluating traditional store design elements through the lens of wellness,’ the report states, ‘brands have the opportunity to create environments that are more holistic, rather than simply physical, and inclusive of cognitive, emotional and spiritual health attributes.'”
