tender to skin baby soap, made by P Stark .Not simply nice to look at but even
nice to smell and use. Our product is not typically everyday medicated soap it
has the fun element attached to it which makes it to differ from other baby soaps

When our customers would think of tender soaps for babies and kids from P
Stark, they would think of emotions and glitter which would only make their
kids overjoyed. And has inspired to make the soap bar mold into the shapes like
stars, hearts, and alphabets with glitters. Spongies is derived from natural herbal
extracts which contains vitamins the unique combination between glitter and
bisabolol have moisturizing and soothing effects frequent use will leave your
kids skin feeling soother, fresher and softer to the hand. The glitter particles will
merely be an attraction for the young girls and boys which will turn into soapand not remain soap. The glitter flavored soap would be really pretty, shiny and
sparkly but a highly effective soap trying to cater to the personalities of the
young ones.

2. Mild and soothing soap that replenishes lost moisture while cleansing baby's
skin gently.3. Enriched with Olive oil, which is rich in Vitamin A and E, and Almond that

Labelling:

"The FPLA (Fair packaging and Labelling Act) requires each package of
household "consumer commodities" that is included in the coverage of the
FPLA to bear a label on which there is:

clear plastics that are used to wrap many items. Cellophane and polypropylene
come in sheets and bags. Cellophane and polypropylene bags can be used to
wrap odd-shaped soaps and scented soap thus we have opted or this method of
packaging as our soap bars are molded into different & attractive looking
shapes. Cellophane and polypropylene sheets can be wrapped around soaps like
gift wrap. It is an easy and inexpensive way to package soaps. The spongies arecrafted into vibrant looking shapes and colors, thus clear packaging allows the

Manufacturing Process
Cold Process Method
1) The oils are heated and mixed in a secret proportion to a specific
temperature.
2) Pour distilled water in a measured container and add lye in a secret
proportion. This mixture will quickly become very hot. Continuous
stirring until the water turns clear. Let the mixture cool to the required
temperature.
3) Pour the hot oil into a large mixing bowl. Use a plastic spatula to get all
the oil out of the measuring cup. When both oil phase and lye/water phase
have reached their required temperatures, slowly pour the lye/watermixture into the oil mixture while stirring in rapid, small circles.
4) Continue to stir this mixture even after you have finished combining the
two parts. Add the desired dye to give colour to the soap.
5) Stir the soap till we get the desired thickness and consistency.
6) After the above process add the preservatives and the oils in the required
proportion.
7) Now add this mixture in a mould. Now cover the mould with a cloth and
place it in a warm location. Let the mould be undisturbed till the mixture
hardens up.
8) After the mixture hardens up, remove the mixture from the mould.
9)Now plastic wrap the soap and keep in a cool dry place to cure it or age it.
10) Now do the necessary test to check if the product is of superior quality
and is not harmful to the skin (Check the pH levels).

Price
Price: since the baby soap market is largely under the control of fewmonopolies like Johnsons and Johnsons co etc in the market. The size of these
companies are very huge and hence its not easy to breakthrough them. Thus
price here plays a important tool for Spongies to break this monopoly market
The pricing strategies appropriate are
Absorption pricing
Under this pricing strategy, Spongies would use a Method of pricing in which all
costs are recovered. The price of the product includes the variable cost of each
item plus a proportionate amount of the fixed costs. This would be Spongies
basic strategy along with the other strategy which would make sure that it
survives in the market
Market-oriented pricing
Under this pricing strategy, Spongies would be setting a price based upon
analysis and research compiled from the targeted market. This would be the
most appropriate as it its based on the research and analysis direct from the
market; it would give a clear idea for the Spongies to get the exact price were it
can meet the target customers pocket as well as the sale volume and profit
Penetration pricing
Under this pricing strategy; the price is deliberately set at low level to gaincustomer's interest and establishing a foot-hold in the market. Thus this would
10
-
8/8/2019 Final Hard Copy MM Project 2007
11/24
encourage more customers to not only examine the product but will also help in
squeezing a market place in the soap industry.
Price discrimination
Under this pricing strategy, Spongies would be setting a different price for the
same product in different markets. Spongies would charge a bare minimum price
in rural market were the baby soap industry has maximum opportunity; by
charging a very low price would attract the rural potentials to buy the product
especially for their newborns and kids. A higher price shall be quoted in metros
there by convincing people who believe in price equal to quality
Psychological pricing
Under this pricing strategy, Spongies would be setting a Price which is designed
to have a positive psychological impact on the potential buyers. Spongies would
price the product in such a way that the price would look more attractive and
turn the product into hot mover in the market for
(e.g.) Spongies would charge a price of Rs 49 (for 3 Spongies soap bar) instead
of Rs 50.

discount if they pay within 10 days of the invoice date. . This discount is

Promotion-
Advertisement:
Due to the recent setup of our brand we as a company would like to develop
interpersonal customer,client/company relationships and receive individual
feedback. Product promotion through door to door marketing helps us achieveboth goals.
We found it beneficial towards our planning policies to invest capital for the
enhancement and betterment of our product in place of visual advertisement.
Personal selling :
In addition to managing our capital judiciously we aim to maintain a level of
interaction with our concumers. Therefore the media we use for the promotion
of our product is more public oriented keeping in mind the time benefit and
interest of both, the company as well as the customers .
For example we targeted the public of the major malls by putting up kiosks,
standes and distributing pamphlets which comprised of necessary information
appealing to the public.
Efficient interaction with the customers is one of our main marketing principles.
This includes door to door personal sales and advertisement. Our sales teamwould comprise of enthusiastic youth who would be guided and trained to show
excellence in product marketing and customers relations. Personal selling is
looked upon as an interactive and productive technique which also aids in
cutting down exorbitant costs and other financial resources.

Sales promotion:
Urban areas:
Since there is a lot of awareness of kids soap and kids hygiene, getting our
product into the market is not a big issue. But besides this we have a tough
competition to face (Johnson n Johnson) in the market but we are trying to give
them tough competition by lowering our per product cost.
Rural areas:
There is not much awareness about kids soap and maintaining kids hygiene in
rural areas. To promote our product in such areas we organized campaigns and
also made announcement on local radio about the launching of our new kids
soap .
