Abstract

The current research investigates people’s reactions to genderless advertising approaches in beauty products since these practices match modern social evaluations regarding diversity and sexual orientation. The growing doubt about traditional gender stereotypes in advertising makes it crucial to assess consumer reaction patterns to gender-neutral advertisement formats. This research targets understanding consumer choices as well as their viewpoints together with how civilization is influenced by inclusive marketing within the beauty industry sector. This paper evaluates both the advantages and obstacles which gender-neutral marketing tactics present for businesses during their implementation. The research conducted quantitative assessments using structured surveys distributed to 50 participants resulting in descriptive statistical analysis. The research demonstrates that although gender-neutral marketing methods potentially lead to higher brand loyalty and improved inclusivity the outcomes reveal differences resulting from age variations together with gender and cultural origins of the consumers. Results from this research demonstrate useful methods brands should adopt to introduce gender-neutral approaches in advertising for increasing customer commitment while promoting inclusive beauty markets. The research offers future advertising recommendations which stress the value of considering cultural understanding together with population diversity and evolving consumer perspectives.
