Her passion, perseverance, and resourcefulness gained her a spot among the great cosmetic retailers. Stated in Estee’s Biography, by Linda Peterson, “ When she was selling at beauty salons, she never lunched, for fear of missing a customer. When the family went on summer vacation, she'd make up the women relaxing poolside at resort hotels. In winter, she'd visit women's homes and give them beauty lessons while they played bridge.”. Estee’s drive and salesmanship formed at a young age and continued to grow as Estee Lauder did. In one attempt to sell her products to the first big retailer she was told no. Then after Estee accidentally dropped a bottle of her Youth Dew perfume on the floor, the smell spread throughout the store and customers were asking where to buy the product.

Estee later created the “gift with purchase” sales technique that is now a staple for many cosmetic companies. With purchase of a certain amount or more, Estee would give away shavings of a lipstick or blush in wax paper. This was ingenious to Estee Lauder becauses often times the woman would come back and purchase them

Her and her husband were the company at this time , only giving out a handful of products . In need of a facility to create these products the Lauders converted a Manhattan restaraunt into a factory. She would sell during the day and then cook up all her creams and oils at night. Estee landed her first department store order for her cosmetics. Saks Fifth Avenue bought $800 worth of cosmetics from Estee, which sold out in two days .Another good strategy Estee used was when someone bought one of her products you would get a free gift along with the purchase. The couple opened their first store in New York in 1944. Estees dedication to get her cosmetics in department stored payed off in the 1950s. Her line became a regular feature in stores such as :I. Magnin, Marshall Feild's, Nieman-Marcus and Bonwit Teller. The Lauders invested their entire $50,000 advertising budget in samples to be offered through direct mail, charity giveaways and as gifts with purchases. (Lauder's "free gift with purchase" technique would become a company trademark and later, a standard industry practice.) The result was thousands of new customers. Lauder continued to broaden her product line, introducing (among other things) male toiletries under the Aramis brand name and the first line of fashion-oriented, allergy-tested cosmetics, Clinique. In addition, Lauder set out to conquer the rest of the world, convincing Harrod's of London and Paris' Galleries Lafayette to carry her products. By the mid-1970s, Lauder's products were on the market in more than 70 countries
