Lockdown success for one new business, how Reverse Life Marine Collagen beat Covid restrictions to make it big online – from three orders on day one now on target to make £1.5m in 2020.

Whilst the outlook for some after Covid is bleak and businesses struggle to find a foothold in our ‘new normal’ other products and businesses have managed to flourish despite the tricky conditions. Entrepreneur Mark Shepherd had an idea long before lockdown to bring an affordable new collagen supplement to market and after sourcing an ethical yet effective product he was happy with was all ready to go… But of course, the new restrictions mean he was unable to put any traditional retail plans in place, so he had a product to sell with no shelves open to stock it!

As a successful entrepreneur Mark knew that diversifying was the key and decided to concentrate on a social and digital presence only for both sales and marketing.

Reverse Life Marine Collagen launched on Saturday 23rd May while we were deep in lockdown and with a basic shopfront website for sales. Social pages had been set up on Instagram and Facebook and the team behind Reverse Life started posting relevant content and following accounts that may be interested in a new beauty product. They talked about the benefits of their collagen on hair, skin and nails and the hyaluronic acid and vitamins also included and thanks to some early eager testers there were some great testimonials to share!

Day One there were three orders from customers willing to take a chance, but by the end of the first week sales were just over £3,000 and nearly 20 bottles a day were flying out of the door. The Reverse Life team jumped on the momentum and sent bottles out to celebrities who loved posting on Instagram and soon the grid was full of influencers and TV stars talking about taking the delicious marine collagen drink every day, such Christine McGuinness, Peter Andre, Ester Dee, Tanya Bardsley, Carole Malone, Nicole Sealey and Amy Childs.

The relationship with Peter Andre was so good Reverse Life sponsored his new reality TV show – The Andres on The Sun YouTube channel – and the first episode alone secured 100 new orders upon airing. A new site was launched to make ordering even easier and by the end of June – only a month after launch – sales were up to £1,500 a day! By now the first customers were starting to post their fantastic results socially and in July sales really exploded, so much so stock ran out a few times and there was a backlog of orders. Because beauty treatments were cancelled over summer the company got an added boost from those seeking an alternative to their usual facials and injectables.

Reverse Life achieved £100,000 sales in only 59 days, £250,000 in August alone and if customers keep coming back for the product that they love then the team expects to get close to £1.5m by the end of 2020 and £2.5m in first year.

They now regularly achieve sales of £12,000 a day and made £500,000 last weekend alone – making this year a massive success for this brand-new product by using social and digital alone, and now wanting to share that success the company is looking to supply smaller businesses and parents working from home who can sell Reverse Life themselves and have created free ‘starter sell boxes’ for anyone wanting to be part of the collagen beauty boom!

Mark said: ‘Honestly we were worried launching something new during such uncertain times, but we believed in Reverse Life Marine Collagen and wanted to get it out there. They only way we could see to do this was to really push the benefits socially and sell digitally, and because no one could get into a beauty salon we were lucky that customers were willing to try a new way to smooth those wrinkles and give their nails and hair a boost. Our plan worked for us and the product works for our customers’.

REVERSE LIFE MARINE COLLAGEN includes a massive 10,000mg dose of collagen, hyaluronic acid and plenty of supporting vitamins in each 25ml daily dose. It helps with skin ageing, hair loss, gut health, energy levels and wound healing. See www.reverselife.co.uk or follow on Instagram @ReverseLife_

Mark Shepherd started The Genius Group (TGG) 3-4 years ago, a company which handled PPI and claimed a £2billion redress for clients.

This also includes a leading technology and software business called GENIUS, that won the Analytics Innovation of the Year and Martech Platform of the Year Awards at the Digital City Awards 2020.
Diversifying into health and beauty Reverse Life was set up when businesses not doing well and has been able to flourish (see details below on their Marine Collagen) and using the same model Mark is now expanding into hair care with a new frizz-fighting kit GENi Hair launching this month and also immune supplements.
Mark is married with two sons and is a keen philanthropist and charity worker.

How to Create Your Own Perfume Using Flowers

A simple spritz of perfume is the finishing touch to a woman’s morning routine that can boost their confidence and make them feel ready to face the day.

While we all have our signature shop-bought scents, natural and organic perfumes can also be created at home with ease using your favourite flowers and wildflowers.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful and personalised gift for a loved one, or a gorgeous treat for yourself, then take a look at Serenata Flowers’ guide to creating your own perfume at home using real flowers:

You Will Need:

– Flower petals of your choice

– Pestle and Mortar

– Glass bowl

– Muslin cloth

– Rubbing Alcohol (optional)

– Spray bottle

– Decorations and embellishments of your choice

Pick your Petals
First things first, you need to decide which beautiful floral notes you want your fragrance to be infused with – if it’s your first time creating your own scent, a good starting point for any flower-based perfume is to opt for high street favourites such as roses, lavender, and honeysuckle.

While more traditionally used flowers will give the perfume a familiar fragrance, a home-made perfume can be much more personal than those bought in shops, so you may like to take some time to gather the favourite flowers of the individual you are creating this perfume for. For inspiration, head to Serenata Flowers and then have the stems delivered straight to your door the next day – this is the time to be creative with your floral combinations to make a truly unique scent.

Prepare and Grind
Once you have decided which flowers you want to capture the scent of, it’s time to start preparing your perfume’s ingredients.

Gather a selection of your chosen flowers and pick the petals and core from each stem, being careful not to catch any thorns or prickles. If wildflowers will be incorporated into your scent, then make sure to gently wash away any mud or dirt from the petals and be sure to check the rules on which wildflowers you can legally pick.

Next, use a pestle and mortar to grind the petals together, releasing their sweet fragrances while doing so.

Soak and Sweeten your Petals
After picking and prepping your petals, the next step of creating your perfume is to allow the flowers to soak so that you can capture their scents.

Take a small bowl and line the inside with a muslin cheesecloth, so the edges of the cloths hangs over the rim of the bowl. Pop your concoction of crushed petals into the bowl, on top of the cloth, and gently pour a 250ml water over the petals to ensure that they are all covered.

To ensure a potent fragrance, place a lid or cover on top of the bowl and let the petals rest and soak for at least 24 hours.

Simmer the Scent
Once the petals have had enough time to soak, using the edges of the cloth, lift the cloth and petals out of the bowl and squeeze any remaining liquid out of the cloth into the bowl below. Then place the petals in the cloth to one side – you’ll want to keep those for later!

Next it is time to heat the water inside the bowl and, for this step, you can choose which method suits you. Heat the water on the hob until it simmers or, if you’d prefer to use the microwave, then set the microwave for between 8-10 minutes on a low heat.

After allowing to simmer and rest, you will be left with a sweet fragranced water which is a perfect blend of your chosen floral notes. For a more long-lasting scent, you can even add in a teaspoon of rubbing alcohol to your fragranced water.

Perfect your Perfume
Now that your scent has been created, it is time to make those finishing touches to create a beautiful and elegant perfume bottle.

For a charmingly rustic appearance, take the left-over crushed flower petals from step 4 and pop a few into your liquid. Next, empty the contents of the pan or the microwavable bowl carefully into a high-quality spray bottle. While a range of spray bottles can be purchased online or in beauty-supply shops, opting for a glass bottle will add sophistication to your home-made creation.

Finally, decorate your perfume bottle. Whether you prefer to keep it simple with a touch of ribbon or want to create a more avantgarde appearance by gluing the left-over petals to the bottle, accessorise the bottle with its receiver in mind and take time to perfect your perfume.

Cure your Quarantine Boredom with #FakeFacts. The Party Game That’s Total BS.

Rue Cler Games. Political season getting you fired up? Getting ready for eight rounds with your uncle at video-conference Thanksgiving? A new trivia game is testing how good its players are at spotting — or concocting — a lie.

See more and buy at :- www.thegamecrafter.com/games/fakefacts

Husband-and-wife entrepreneurs Stephen and Charell Chiger announced today the launch of their game company, Rue Cler Games, and their first game, #FakeFacts. A fast-paced card game of historical and pop culture trivia, #FakeFacts tests its players’ knowledge and ability to fool others.

Rue Cler Games

“We hatched the idea for #FakeFacts after some spirited dinner parties (#politicalseason). When the pandemic brought far, far too much time at home, we wanted a game that was simple and could be played in-person or remotely,” said Stephen Chiger, Rue Cler Games co-founder.

A terrific holiday gift, #FakeFacts is the perfect present for people who love weird, hard-to-believe trivia, fast-paced social games, or just fooling their friends. Players can expect to learn (and fabricate!) bizarre, surprising, and totally unpredictable trivia — and the game’s structure makes it easy to play over video conferences.

Made here in the US, #FakeFacts is sold online through The Game Crafter and priced at an affordable, $14.99. The game is family-friendly, appropriate for ages 12+.

Both experienced journalists, the Chigers say they built the game to inspire both wonder and skepticism.

“In life it never hurts to trust — but don’t forget to verify.” – Charell Star Chiger, Co-Founder of Rue Cler Games.

More information can be found on the official website here. Follow Fake Facts on Instagram.

ABOUT RUE CLER GAMES
Based in the US, Rue Cler Games was founded in 2020 by husband-and-wife team Stephen and Charell Chiger and specializes in building fun interactive games for people who want to play together. They released their first game, #FakeFacts, on Game Crafter in late 2020 after three months of development. The Chigers share a love for entrepreneurship and between them have run consulting firms, led non-profit organizations, directed sleepaway camps, and provided on-air expertise on lifestyle and fashion (in addition, of course, to their full-time jobs). Rue Cler Games, named after their favorite Parisian street, is their first official team-up.
