Maybeline Face Powder
MAYBELLINE CLEAR SMOOTH FACE POWDER Background Story
Months after the successful launching of Maybelline Clear Smooth Face Powder, Rose B. Librieza, Coordinator of Marketing Operations, found herself reading survey results handed to her by one of her staff. As of three weeks ago, there is still no substantial data that will tell whether the Clear Smooth Face Powder is now the product leader in terms of its category in the market so she had a survey done to evaluate product performance. The report (consisting of 25 respondents in a random sample, Exhibit 1) contains information that she would use to plan the next steps the company needs to take to maximize the visibility of their product. Rose is determined to take advantage of the fact that the market was very receptive to the launch. In fact, the pressed powder easily became one of the brand’s best selling items. She is serious about making Maybelline Clear Smooth Face Powder one of the leaders in the pressed powder market. A study that was done prior to the launch of the product indicated that pressed powders reflect more than 80% market penetration, which means more than 80% of the respondents used a pressed powder at least once in the year prior to the study. This shows that pressed powders do have high usage in the country. Another study conducted during the product launch revealed that more than 90% of the purchasers were very satisfied with the product and more than 90% also had an intention to repurchase the product—one of the highest repurchase intentions Maybelline has seen in a product launch so far. In terms of sell out, the product has been the main driver for the double digit growth in the face category. Sales for this product increased despite the fact that it was not advertised in the television. Due to these reasons, Rose carefully analyzes the results of the current survey on her desk to draft a marketing strategy that will ensure increased market awareness of their product, and thus, to have

    In this part of my assignment am going to be developing a coherent marketing mix. I think that the marketing mix should be coherent because for a product to be successful the marketing mix has to be logical, getting all the marketing mix right will determine the success or failure of the product. We decided to design and make a lipstick that will last for as long as wanted, forever even. We decided to call the product “Eva last” because like the name says, it lasts forever. The product has a built in remover at the other end of the lipstick for when you want to remove it and does not come off otherwise. It is hoped that this product will gain a target market from teenage girls to woman or anyone who wears lipstick.…

    L’Oreal assumed the American consumer’s lack of knowledge about skin care compared to their European counterparts would require their marketing strategy to educate the consumer concerning technology, product benefits (incl. product range logic), and competitive differentiation. The Acceptor/Rejector Studies revealed, however, that the product packaging was “confusing”, contained too many technical words, and wordy explanations without describing the actual purpose of the product. In an attempt to recreate the demonstration and training experience found in department and specialty stores, L’Oréal relied heavily on captivating and informative packaging to bridge the information gap. As a result, L’Oréal overwhelmed the self-service/mass- market consumer by over communicating and providing too much seemingly unnecessary information on the package itself.…

    Critical marketing problem: Population Services International (PSI) was a not-for-profit agency which concluded an agreement with the government of Bangladesh to carry out the Social Marketing Project (SMP). With the objective of population control, PSI introduced two birth control products: Raja brand condoms and Maya brand oral contraceptives. A similar marketing strategy was used to promote both products. Raja’s sales increased tremendously but Maya’s sales declined over a period of time. Although Maya is selling at a cheaper price, other competitors’ brands such as Ovastat and Ovral with a higher price are more successful in the market. As profit margin earned by the retailers and wholesalers was low for Maya compared to other similar products, they did not promote Maya sales well, preferring to focus their resources on other brands. Image of Maya deteriorated as people developed bad perceptions about the pill. Due to its low price, people associate it as an inferior drug and opt for other brands. Even professional doctors and rural medical practitioners (RMPs) shared the same sentiment and advised patients not to use it.…
