The main driver was a significant increase in customer activity. Transactions increased 19.64%, while units sold increased 13.63%. However, customers purchased slightly fewer items per transaction and spent less on average.
| Metric | February | March | MoM Change |
|---|---|---|---|

| Hair | $1,957.12 | 0.73% | 21 |
| Bags | $1,605.41 | 0.60% | 21 |
The five largest categories—Fragrance, Lips, Bath and Body, Makeup and Nails—accounted for the vast majority of March sales.
Categories Driving Sales Growth
The strongest contributors to the increase in sales were:
| Category | Contribution to Sales Growth |
|---|---|
| Makeup | 22.09% |
| Fragrance | 18.27% |
| Nails | 17.73% |
| Lips | 16.28% |
| Bath and Body | 15.31% |
| Skin Care | 9.49% |
| Skin | 2.76% |
| Hair | 1.88% |
Makeup was the largest contributor to the overall sales increase, followed by Fragrance, Nails, Lips and Bath and Body.
Three categories—Beauty Accessories, Bags and Eyes—did not contribute positively to the overall increase and therefore reduced the potential growth during the month.
Category Volume Changes
Most categories recorded increases in units sold, with particularly strong growth in several smaller categories.
| Category | February Units | March Units | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hair | 14 | 21 | +50.00% |
| Makeup | 240 | 334 | +39.17% |

| Fragrance | 1,065 | 1,106 | +3.85% |
| Eyes | 48 | 30 | -37.50% |
Makeup, Nails, Lips and Bath and Body were particularly important because they combined meaningful sales contributions with increases in the number of units sold.
Fragrance remained by far the largest category, but its unit volume increased only 3.85%, considerably less than the overall 13.63% increase in units sold.
