本文是市場學專業的留學生Essay范例,題目是“Marketing Strategies of Cosmetics Company L’Oreal(歐萊雅化妝品公司營銷策略)”,本作業所選擇的市場是那些已經擁有巨大市場并在快速增長的化妝品,消費者有著截然不同的工作態度和風格,公司根據顧客和消費者的需要根據當地的要求生產產品。當我們比較2009年全球人口的D&E(發展中和新興)金字塔從“尚未”到“有抱負”和“擁有很多”的積極轉變為鉆石時,這一點就更加明顯。這個任務比較和對比了兩個不同的公司,歐萊雅和聯合利華進行國際營銷的方式。最初,這個任務圍繞著兩個大型化妝品品牌行業歐萊雅和聯合利華,以及他們在全球幾個國家的營銷策略和戰略。
The market chosen for this assignment is for cosmetic products which have already a huge market and growing at a rapid rate with consumers having contrasting working attitudes and style, and companies producing goods according to the local requirement in accordance to the wants of the customers and consumers. This is more evident when we compare the D&E (Developing and Emerging) pyramid of global population in 2009 getting transformed into a Diamond from a positive transition from “Not Yet” to “Aspiring” and to “Have Lots”. This assignment compares and contrasts the way in which two different companies, L’Oreal and Unilever carry out their international marketing. Initially this assignment revolves around the two mega cosmetic brand industry L’Oreal and Unilever and their marketing tactics and strategies around the globe in a few countries.
L’Oreal a cosmetic giant is operating in over 130 countries worldwide and recorded a turnover 17.5 billion in 2009. The company records a consistent growth of over the years while there is a dip from 2008 to 2009 especially due to economic slowdown in the global market. The consistent growth of the company and the share in the particular market is due to its varied marketing activities and innovation in Research and Development. The Company, in 2009, has spent 5.4 Billion as Advertising and Promotion which is close to 30% of their annual revenue and 0.6 billion in Research and Development, almost quarter of their annual Operating Profit. The company differs itself from other companies in the sphere of product/service design; packaging; brand name/logo; price; advertising; sales promotion; distribution channel(s).
Their website reads: “At L’Oreal, we have made cosmetics the focus of all our energy and know-how for nearly a century. We are fully committed to putting all our expertise and research resources to work for the well-being of men and women, in all their diversity, around the world”
Unilever, another multinational giant operating in 100 countries (products sold in 170 countries) recorded annual revenue of close to 40 billion in 2009. Unilever spent a??5.3 billion (13% of their revenue) for their Advertisement and Promotion budget and close to 18% (0.9 billion) on their Research and Development. Unilever realise that innovation is key to their progress, and through cutting-edge science they are constantly enhancing their brands, improving their nutritional properties, taste, fragrance, or functionality.
另一家跨國巨頭聯合利華,在100個國家運營(產品銷往170個國家),2009年的年收入接近400億美元。聯合利華花了a, 53億美元(占其收入的13%)用于廣告和推廣預算,近18%(9億美元)用于研發。聯合利華意識到創新是他們進步的關鍵,通過尖端科學,他們不斷提升他們的品牌,改善他們的營養特性、味道、香味或功能。
It is quite interesting to read the first sentence of their website: “On any given day, two billion people use Unilever products to look good, feel good and get more out of life”
Global reach allows both the companies to get closer to consumers in local markets to understand diverse needs and priorities of peoples’ lives in so many different ways.
The success of Brand L’Oreal lies in the fact that the company succeeded in reaching out to the customers of different countries of the world, across different income ranges and cultural patterns, giving them the appropriate product they are worthy of. The area of expertise of L’Oreal being that it succeeded almost in every country that it entered. The strategies of L’Oreal was varied enough to help it and stop itself from restricting itself in a single country. L’Oreal sold its product on the basis of customer demand and country want rather than keeping the product identical across the globe. It built ample number of brands or mammoth brands entrenched to the restricted culture and which appealed to a variety of segment of the universal market instead of generalising the brand and edible in innumerable culture. L’Oreal went on to being a local product in every international market. The brand extension of L’Oreal also came in the same sector or the same segment of market. L’Oreal believed in growing its expertise in the segment it is conscious of rather than going into a completely new sector of market
L’Oreal had built a dozen or so mega brands rooted in the local culture and appealing to different segments of the global market. Instead of homogenizing the various brands and making them palatable in myriad cultures, Owen-Jones decided to embody their (the brands’) country of origin, turning what many marketing gurus considered a narrowing factor into a marketing virtue.
As a senior L’Oreal manager put it, “You have to be local and as strong as the best locals but backed by an international image and strategy. We have made a conscious effort to diversify the cultural origins of our brands.”…
Brand Extensions品牌延伸
L’Oreal realized the need for caution in case of brand extensions. The company extended its brands after doing a thorough research. When L’Oreal decided to enter the kids shampoo category in 1998, it debated whether to launch a new brand or go for an extension. The company realized the L’Oreal name, long associated with women’s hair care, would capture instant credibility with moms. But Kids was really a child-oriented product. When L’Oreal first unveiled its L’Oreal Kids shampoo line early 1998, retailers were sceptical. “Retailers say the value isn’t there. We say it is that the child establishes value. We were pretty tenacious.” – mentioned Carol Hamilton, 45, senior VP-marketing for the L’Oreal retail division of Cosmair…
歐萊雅意識到在品牌擴張時需要謹慎。在做了徹底的調查之后,公司擴展了自己的品牌。1998年,當歐萊雅決定進入兒童洗發水領域時,它還在爭論是推出一個新品牌還是繼續擴張。該公司意識到,歐萊雅這個長期與女性頭發護理聯系在一起的品牌,會立刻贏得媽媽們的信任。但Kids確實是一個面向兒童的產品。當歐萊雅1998年初首次推出其歐萊雅兒童洗發水系列時,零售商們對此表示懷疑。“零售商說,那里沒有價值。我們說它是子結點建立價值。我們非常頑強。45歲的Carol Hamilton是科斯梅爾歐萊雅零售部門的高級營銷副總裁。
L’Oreal professionals mechanises with L’Oreal professional salons in order to not only promote their product but also to help hairdressers to have a vision, excel and accomplish.
L’Oreal has divided their product range in five different categories to focus its marketing activities exclusively designed for the targeted market audience.
Professional products for the service sector business holders like hair salons.
Consumer Products for mass consumption of local people.
Luxury Products for those who want to pay a little more extra and who are cautious about how they look.
Cosmetics general cosmetics.
Body Shop a new sector of product range said to have based its products after getting inspired from the nature.
The body shop was founded in 1976 in the United Kingdom well known for its strong product base of natural ingredients and having a network of over 2550 stores in 63 countries
Unilever on the other hand is a British-Dutch multinational company owning ample number of consumer products in the food, beverage and the personal care product sector. Promises to give a consistent evolution in the sustainable living plan of the commoners.
In a world of hype and stereotypes, the Dove Unilever provides a refreshing alternative for women who recognise that beauty isn’t simply about how you look but it makes a genuine difference.
Dove Unilever is committed to widening the definition of beauty for women because it believes real beauty comes in all ages, shapes and sizes. To help enjoy your own brand of beauty, Dove provides an extensive range of cleansing and personal care products that make a genuine difference to the condition and feel of skin and hair.
多芬聯合利華致力于擴大女性美的定義,因為它相信真正的美存在于所有年齡、體型和體型。為了幫助您享受自己的美麗品牌,多芬提供了廣泛的清潔和個人護理產品,使皮膚和頭發的狀況和感覺有真正的不同。
Dove is the UK’s top Bar Soap brand and 45% of the population bought a Dove product in 2010. In fact, 10.1 million women use Dove every week in the UK.
Unilever first launched its products in the US during the 1950s, and in 1957 the basic Dove bar formula was refined and developed into the “Original Dove Beauty bar”. It was launched as a beauty soap that was clinically proven to be milder on dry and sensitive skins. The following years saw the launch of more bath time treats like beauty baths and moisturising body washes.
Unilever Dove then expanded its brand into antiperspirant deodorants and Pro-Age, a range of skin cream and hair care products specifically designed in accordance to the requirement of the local women. Unilever re-defined the definition of beauty for women. In 2010 Unilever Dove came out with another revolutionary product of Damage therapy which could be used by the consumers at home rather than spending a fortune on other beauty therapies to keep their hair strong damage free. In 2010 Unilever also diversifies its Dove products from the female sector to the male and hence the birth of a completely new brand of products in which Unilever had never stepped its foot into, the Dove Men Care brand was formed offering deodorants and body washes specifically designed for the male skin.
L’Oreal entered India with the hair colour product, they changed the way consumers viewed the product. From being a product for the old-age to turn grey hair into shining black, L’Oreal targeted the young market for whom looking stylish and to the modern mark wasimportant, a very tough job to change the mind-sets of the people.
Dove entered India in the late 1993. Dove-known to be a custodian to promise gave products to women to satisfy them all over the world. Dove started giving out products which fitted to their customer requirement in the female sector. In India Dove became the fastest growing hair care shampoo product in fifteen month of its launch proving its Promotional strategies to be worth.
L’Oreal launched a shampoo+oil in India under Garnier brand name which is best suited for local Indian market but Unilever standardized the product rather than launching a new brand in a local market.
L’Oreal focuses on target customers and then tailored their supply chain model according to the need of the specific geographical location while Unilever focus on mass market and depend on the overall economic development and the increasing purchasing power of the people.
Portfolio of Brand management of Unilever is quite huge although 75% of their revenue comes from only 25 major brands. Therefore strategy of Unilever is on a much broader scale of mass consumption. However, L’Oreal spends their major advertisement activities towards focussed clientele and depends heavily on new product innovation; in 2009 alone L’Oreal has filed for 674 patent applications.
ADVERTISING廣告
‘L’Oreal-because you are worth it’, gives a kind of a fulfilment to the consumer that the kind of product the consumer was looking for, this is it. It gives the customer the belief that the product worth a lot and hence they are worth it validates to them being as worthy as the product though most of planning and thinking is only a virtual belief.
"歐萊雅——因為你值得擁有"給了消費者一種滿足感消費者想要的產品,就是它。它讓客戶相信產品很有價值,因此他們也很有價值,它證明他們和產品一樣有價值,盡管大多數計劃和思考只是一個虛擬的信念。
L’Oreal started its advertising campaign in the late 1920 via posters and other such mediums. It first time appeared onscreen in 1950s in movies. In today’s date L’Oreal got celebrity of all ages to promote their product. The strategy that L’Oreal used here is to use local celebrities to whom the common man relate to rather than having just one celebrity to promote their product globally. For example in India L’Oreal used ex Miss World Aishwariya Rai to promote their product where as in the United Kingdom they used Penelope Cruz to promote their product. This got L’Oreal the image of ‘Traditional Beauty’. L’Oreal knew that the best way to attract customers was to bestow the customers with the image that they could become as beautiful as their favourite celebrities.
Dove on the other hand used the tactic of complementing their customers giving them a profound positive vibe by giving a positive line of ‘you are beautiful’.
Dove uses various creative marketing strategies like using Facebook which is a social commerce networking site to promote its product. Dove has made its products available to the customers on the social website. Dove believes that it makes complete sense to move from a social networking website to a purchase worthwhile at the same place.Launching a competitive advertisement in competition with L’Oreal with the tag line ‘Dove is No.1 Shampoo’ sending prospective customers personalised emails with such adverts and making customer believe that it is the best the customer can get.
Given the image of real women Dove never used or endorsed their products through celebrities like in the case of L’Oreal. Instead Unilever built a new strategy for Dove. Given the cote of being “Real Women” Dove used a corporate advertising strategy by various cultures of women and projecting an image of self-satisfaction for the Unilever brands. Unilever tried to get their customer in the real world and by not giving them a fake hope that they could be liketheir favourite celebrity but giving them a hope that they could be beautiful with the real beauty bestowed in them.
Unilever made its product Dove available to the customers through Facebook and other social networking sites in the United States and other parts of the world, with Unilever unveiling the new ecommerce offering shortly
Marshall Manson, Europe Middle East and Africa managing director of digital at Unilever’s PR agency Edelman, said: “It makes sense to allow users to move directly from a social word-of-mouth recommendation, or from information a brand has shared, to purchase.”
“He also said that the move makes it easier for Dove to connect social activity with business values and measure their effectiveness.
The news comes just days after a study by Foresee found that consumers prefer email marketing messages than social media interactions with retailer websites in the UK.
Larry Freed, president and chief executive officer of ForeSee Results, said brands need to be aware of how their target markets are influenced by promotional emails, advertising on Facebook or word-of-mouth recommendations.
SALES PROMOTION促銷活動
In India L’Oreal brought the international style by transforming the looks in the form of amenities to its customers. L’Oreal marked its products through hair salons, owning over 2000 saloons over 36 cities in India.
在印度,歐萊雅將國際風格以便利設施的形式呈現給顧客。歐萊雅通過美發沙龍來標識其產品,在印度36個城市擁有2000多家美發沙龍。
L’Oreal and Unilever competed on getting positioned in the shelf-space in the United States to be in the eye of the customers.
Dove on the other hand promoted its product by positioning itself the best that is as the number one product and also with the help of dove the seven day challenge, where dove promised healthy hair or money back guarantee.
In the United States Dove bought about the “half-faced” challenge. Dove asked the American customers to use the product on half of their face and feel the difference.
Dove relies on websites to carry out its major sales promotions. Dove used theOscar ceremony by paying huge amount to broadcast live on television on the prime advertising time a 45second advertisement to bring their product into the eyes of the people. The “real beauty” code used by Unilever for Dove gained a lot of intangible possession towards Dove by Increasing customer loyalty and sales towards the brand. This led to a continuous rise in the sales of Dove; from 2005 to 2006 sales of dove grew by 10.1%.
L’Oreal on the other hand promised a reduction in the hair fall or healthy hair. L’Oreal carried out its sales promotion having a wide assortment with varying range of products for premium and the middle class. Though L’Oreal’s premium product was at low demand, L’Oreal kept on reinforcing them through promoting their premium brand as a look of necessity. L’Oreal produced its goods in the form of services to the market by distributing it through professional hair-dressers. L’Oreal’s products came with various names such as the ‘L’Oreal Paris hair colour’ which imbibed the country name in the brand which fostered the customer the urge of possessing that product.
WEBSITE網站
The L’Oreal website not only gives a brief introduction of its varied product features but it also gives information about the company history and also about the various product ranges for women in the market supplementing it with a little extra of “for women” categorising it specifically for them.
歐萊雅的網站不僅簡單介紹了其各種產品的特點,還提供了公司的歷史信息,以及市場上針對女性的各種產品系列,并補充了一些額外的“女性產品”,專門為女性分類。
L’Oreal in China launched a website in mandarin to help customer easy accessibility and making it easy for them to use the website. Due to this strategy of L’Oreal the customers felt more close to the brand and made it easy for the customers to access the product easily.
Unilever for dove maintains its simplicity in its website also but to it dove also adds up a space for testimonials to looks at the customer response and also gave out various offers and promotions. To that Dove had also added up an interactive session and video to show how dove has helped people’s hair giving the customers the proof to what they claimed.
They also came up with advertisement of the websites specific to that part of the region. Unilever wanted the local customer to be able to relate with the brand and see for themselves how they could look beautiful just by themselves.
For example the Indian website had adverts of Dove dry hair shampoo which helped rough dry hair and prevented split-ends whereas in the United Kingdome Unilever had a range of special shampoo to reduce and prevent hair fall which generally happened in accordance to the hard water.
DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL分銷渠道
A market channel is one of the most important factors in the marketing of a product. It closures the period, space and hole in the market between the consumers and the product manufacturers. In India to distribute its product Dove Unilever uses three approaches, indirect coverage, and direct coverage and Streamline method. Dove Unilever looked out for short supply-chain for distribution to meet its customer’s needs and to reach out to a huge population. In India Unilever elected sub-stockist that covered up the mass part of the marketing areas where as in the Unites Kingdome Unilever were in direct contact with the retailers.
市場渠道是產品營銷中最重要的因素之一。它封閉了消費者和產品制造商之間的時間、空間和市場空白。在印度,多芬聯合利華使用三種方法分銷其產品,間接覆蓋和直接覆蓋和流線法。聯合利華(Dove Unilever)尋找了短的分銷供應鏈,以滿足客戶的需求,并接觸到龐大的人群。在印度,聯合利華選出的sub-stockist掩蓋了市場營銷領域的大部分,而在英國,聯合利華直接與零售商接觸。
Over 180 million units are produced in the United Kingdom annum and 65% of it is exported overseas.
L’Oreal believes that it’s their obligation to generate value for the customers and hence adopts various sales strategies to the precise distribution channel of every individual market.
With 290 subsidiaries, more than 100 distributors and 42 plants, all spread out in about 130 countries, L’Oreal is the leader of the cosmetic industry.
The group has begun its internationalisation in 1912 by following three steps:
First, commercialisation of professional shampoos to hair-dressers via distributors in near Europe (Spain, Italy, Great Britain, Germany and Poland) and in the Americas – “first landing”;
Second, local firms are taken over for example in the USA (Redken 1993, Maybelline 1996 etc.), in Argentina (Miss Y lang 2000) – “go native”;
Third, subsidiaries (production, research and development) are directly created (Greenfield investment) without any first passage via distribution. It is the case in Asia (Japan and Hong Kong) – “globalisation”.
The group has to face harsh competition and new stakes like diversify its product segments (baby-boomers which become “mammy-boomers”; American, French and Japanese young with specific tastes; and men), exploit new means of distribution (like on line sales) and finally, take advantage before the competitors, of new emerging markets like Asia, India, Latin America, Africa and East European countries.
When L’Oreal’s Professional Products Division entered India in 1997, hairdressing Industry as a market segment is almost insignificant. There were no organized education and training, couple of dubious domestic products and prohibitive expensive foreign brands.
The first strategy of L’Oreal was to exploit this inherent gap in the nascent industry and invested heavily in hairdressing and training. Their head start also ensured broad distribution in the focussed market.
“We skim the top 100 cities in India and have the largest salon base in the country, of which 20 per cent is exclusive to us, contributing to 40 per cent of our revenue.” Says Sharma, Director, L’Oreal Professional Products Division. He further adds “Our biggest cost is the education of our trade. We have over 40 trainers; it’s an entire machine that needs constant oiling.”
“我們瀏覽了印度排名前100的城市,擁有該國最大的沙龍基地,其中20%專屬于我們,貢獻了我們40%的收入。”歐萊雅專業產品部主任Sharma說。他進一步補充道:“我們最大的成本是我們貿易的教育。我們有40多名教練;這是一部需要不斷加油的完整機器。”
In 2009, this industry alone in India isa?? 33 Mio, growing in double digits, and L’Oreal Professional Products — Professionnel and Kerastase — are market leaders.
L’Oreal Professional Products prides itself on a product they believe is technologically unmatched. “3.5 per cent of our sales are pumped back into research & development; the best technology goes back into the trade,” says Vismay Sharma, director, L’Oreal Professional Products Division.
The challenge is to beat competitors’ who is adopting the same strategy. But competitors are eating into the same strategy. Both Schwarzkopf, at the number two position in the industry, and Wella have launched technical training centres. Schwarzkopf even launched a by-invitation-only hairdressers club and flew 150 members to Goa for an inaugural meeting.
Strategy of Schwarzkopf is to demand an increased commitment to turnover in return from these loyal and exclusive customers to become high volume buyers. Wella, the other brand which entered India in 2001, is aiming to be in 5,000 salons by June 2006.
L’Oreal organizes Colour trophy, a nationwide quest to find the most creative hairdressers in the country and also sponsor hair shows besides their annual showcasing of global fashions in hairdressing and colour to give a platform to unleash creativity and lead to creating new trends in the industry.
And in a revision of distribution strategy, Schwarzkopf has just begun retailing their hair colour range to power growth. Sharma reacts, “L’Oreal Professional Products began by selling through Parisienne salons. That’s at the heart of our business; we will not dilute it by retailing for home use.”
Okay, so the L’Oreal brand is strong, well established within target markets, and Sharma claims sales are up in India, although figures don’t come by easily in the discussion. Well, this was the time, then, to become more proactive than ever before; to begin the task of figuring out just what it was going to take to sustain their competitive advantage and ensure that they stay at the cutting edge of their field.
And so, in February this year, L’Oreal announced the arrival of Matrix (their number one brand in the US), an affordable range of hair products to add to their existing offering to offer Indian hairdressers the option of using a professional brand at this price point.
The value proposition is similar. Both brands offer all the support hairdressers need, from education, complete in-salon marketing, and salon promotions. Matrix, however will thrive on depth of distribution, with a training centre in every city it retails in.
L’Oreal India is the only company to offer products at three different price points — luxury, premium and affordable. With this they will have a combination no one can beat.
L’Oreal hasextensive campaign for L’Oreal Paris Lip Colour. They also wish to modify the product by adding SPF, so that lips can be protected from harmful. They are also putting ads in TV and out of home advertisements like hoardings, at malls on digital screen
Marketing Strategy
Distribution: Will widen distribution network by giving various incentives to distributers, retailers, stockiest in order, not to loseself-space to competition.
Promotion: Will be distributing complementary lip care guide on minimum purchase, having tips on how the various brand ambassadors of L’Oreal Paris apply Lip Colour on themselves and take care of their lips.
Social Responsibility: L’Oreal supports campaign for safe cosmetics which was started in October 2007. This will help in building consumer confidence, that L’Oreal Lip colour is safeBrand Management
L’Oreal had built a dozen or so mega brands rooted in the local culture and appealing to different segments of the global market. Instead of homogenizing the various brands and making them palatable in myriad cultures, Owen-Jones decided to embody their country of origin, turning what marketing experts considered a narrowing factor into a marketing virtue. L’Oreal believed as being local but being backed up by the global international image diversifying the traditionalroots of brands.
Brand Extensions
L’Oreal realized the need for caution in case of brand extensions. When L’Oreal decided to enter the kids shampoo category in 1998, it debated whether to launch a new brand or go for an extension. The company realized the L’Oreal name, long associated with women’s hair care, would capture instant credibility with moms. But Kids was really a child-oriented product. When L’Oreal first unveiled its L’Oreal Kids shampoo line early 1998, retailers were sceptical.
Advertising and Promotion廣告和促銷
L’Oreal backed its product innovations with the twelfth-largest media budget in the world. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, “external charges”, which included L’Oreal’s advertising and promotions expenditure jumped from 37% to 47% of sales. L’Oreal increased its global ad spending to $1.25 billion in 1998. L’Oreal had a unique promotion policy for all its brands. A brand, which sold in mass-market outlets, advertised and promoted itself in a way similar to brands sold in department stores.
歐萊雅以世界上第十二大的媒體預算支持其產品創新。在20世紀80年代末和90年代初,包括歐萊雅廣告和促銷支出在內的“外部費用”從銷售額的37%上升到47%。1998年,歐萊雅將其全球廣告支出增加到12.5億美元。歐萊雅對所有品牌都有獨特的促銷政策。一個在大眾市場銷售點銷售的品牌,其廣告和推廣的方式類似于在百貨公司銷售的品牌。
Corporate Structure
L’Oreal was organized as a clutch of small profit centres, some with as few as ten employees. The company’s work culture encouraged audits and budget meetings to focus less on the spilled milk of the past, and more on leading indicators of how things would look at year-end.
These meetings encouraged discussions to find out which overlooked products showed signs of life but were undercapitalized and which products were not matching expectations and needed pruning. The structure allowed L’Oreal to move fast…
Competition
L’Oreal faced competition from various formidable rivals. On one side, cosmetic majors like Revlon and Avon and Nivea vied for shelf space. On the other, there were the giant FMCG companies like Unilever and P&G. There were also local competitors like HLL-Lakme in India, Dark and Lovely in Africa, and the erstwhile Shu Umera in Japan (L’Oreal later acquired this brand).
Dove brand has grown inIndia from a mere a??12.5 Mio to a??85 Mio in 2006 with products across the soap, shampoo, deodorant and skin care segments.Dove brand became India’s premium brand within one year of its launch.
Some years ago the key to success was penetration in the market but it has changed now to educating the target customers about the benefit of the product and using it the right way.
Unilever in India is well positioned because they have the right portfolio, focussed brands and operates at various price points. Being the market leader in India and estimated market growth is at 40-50%, Unilever’s strategy is to build the market and translate other opportunities for launching new products like serum, masks and treatments under umbrella brand of Dove.
聯合利華在印度的地位很好,因為他們有正確的投資組合、專注的品牌和不同價位的運營。作為印度市場的領導者,聯合利華的戰略是建立市場,并利用其他機會推出新產品,如多芬旗下的精華液、面膜和護理產品。聯合利華在印度的市場增長預計為40-50%。
To continue its leadership position, Unilever is constantly upgrading Dove from time to time to meet customers’ needs like Dove Daily, Dove dry therapy, Dove breakage therapy and son on.
Lever’s strategy is to build rural market for increasing consumption level. Market estimate that 80% rural population have used shampoo but the big challenge is to convert the one time consumers to repeat purchasers, are they buying next weeka€|.next month, next quarter?
The strategy and challenge is to go deeper to media dark villages and build sales which will become the market of the future. Just for an example close to 30-40% of UP, the largest state in India, is media dark.
Unilever in India has started running one of their largest consumer connect initiatives “Khushiyon Ki Doli”. It allows them to go deeper to villages with population of 5000 people. The heartening part is that consumers are will to embrace new things in life if they see a value proposition.
聯合利華(Unilever)在印度已啟動其最大的消費者連接項目之一“Khushiyon Ki Doli”。它可以讓他們深入到5000人的村莊。令人振奮的是,如果消費者看到一個價值主張,他們會樂于接受生活中的新事物。
