Info & Summary

Website: http://www.bellusacademy.edu/
Industry: Postsecondary Education – Beauty School

Bellus Academy is a cosmetology, esthetics, massage therapy, makeup artistry, barbering, and nail technician academy with three locations in the San Diego, CA area and one in Manhattan, KS. Lynelle Lynch is the owner of Bellus and acquired the school in 2006. So far, 2016 is shaping to be her best year yet as far as leads and enrollments go. This is interesting because most beauty schools in 2016 have witnessed a decline in interest for their programs. Oozle Media started to work with Bellus in July 2015.

Social Media

Bellus was doing a lot of social media before Oozle Media and was driving a impressive amount of traffic to their website from it. When Oozle Media took over and started advertising on social media for Bellus, this proved to be the difference maker, in that Bellus started to actually get measurable leads!
