    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 

    The application of the four Ps (Product, Price, Promotion, and Place) of marketing revolves mainly around the customers in the target segment. The

    target segment for any product is that homogeneous group of people which is

     purported to be the most potential customer for the product. The market follows

    the Pareto Principle, which says that 8 per cent of the sales come from ! per 

    cent of the people. Thus, for any product, one of the ma"or tasks of marketers is

    to identify the group of ! per cent that gives 8 per cent revenue of that

     product#s sale to the company. $o surprise then that ma"or marketing efforts of 

    companies attempt to attract the most potential group.

    This pro"ect is an e%tensive study of the &Ps analysis of the 'arnier products.

    This detailed study helped us in understanding the Price% Pace% Product a#d

    Pro&otio# aspect of the 'arnier products. fter having done this study was

    able to identify the pricing strategies followed by *#+real in terms of their 

     product along with their promotional strategy in the $- region.

    This case study also helps in getting an overview of the ndian hair care market

    scenario, its growth trends, future prospects and opportunities available.

    *+real is one of the most successful nternational premium brands in ndia.

    This /rench brand came to ndia in 1001 with its ltra 2ou% range of 3hampoo

    through its gent *aboratories 'arnier. n 100& *aboratories 'arnier became

    the 14 subsidiary of *+r5al.

    n ! *#+real launched its range of cosmetics in to ndian market. The ndian

    osmetic and skin care market is estimated to be around 67 illion. n this

    market the olor osmetic segment is around -s !9 crore while the 3kin care

    segment is estimated to be around -s & crore.

    facial care, similar to nilever with 2ove. :/ructis shampoo and conditioner iscore, and they are introducing styling aids as part of a mega brand strategy.

    if there are more brands in the ndian market, it#s largely due to demand. /or

    country> it has become a fashion statement, especially with the young and

    market which is ma"orly unaware about the product. t is due to this reason hat

    d campaigns are on a rise as there is a lot of competition in this area and there

    are low penetration levels with a large untapped market. There are certain

     brands that are actively increasing their presence in the market by marketing

    their shampoos through different channels, especially online marketing.

    INTRODUCTION TO 0 P’S OF MARKETIN

    The ,ar0eti#1 &i( is a set of four decisions which needs to be taken before

    launching any new product. These variables are also known as the 2 P’s of 

    &ar0eti#1. These four variables help the firm in making strategic decisionsnecessary for the smooth running of any product C organiKation. These variables

    are

    1. Product

    !. Price

    7. Place

    &. Promotions

    arketing mi% is mainly of two types.

    1) Product &ar0eti#1 &i( R omprised of Product, price, place and promotions. This marketing mi% is mainly used in case of Tangible goods.

    !) Ser'ice &ar0eti#1 &i( R The service marketing mi% has three further 

    variables included which are people, physical evidence and process.

    The term marketing mi% was first coined by $eil < =orden back in 10@& in his

    article SThe concept of marketing mi%. 3everal strategic analysts over the years

     believe that the marketing mi% can make or break the firm.

  • 8/17/2019 Oreal Project 2015

    19/72

    time the concept of marketing mi% has provided a steady platform for the launch

    of a new product or business.

    s mentioned before, the marketing mix is characteriKed by four different but

    eAually important variables. These variables are never constant and may be

    changed over time.

  • 8/17/2019 Oreal Project 2015

    20/72

    long with the above factors, there are also other things which have to be taken

    in consideration when deciding on a pricing strategy. ompetition can be the

     best e%ample. 3imilarly, pricing also affects the targeting and positioning of a

     product. Pricing is used for sales promotions in the form of trade discounts.

    Thus based on these factors there are several pricing strategies, one of which is

    implemented for the marketing mi%.

    7) Pace R Place refers to the distribution channel of a product. f a product is a

    consumer product, it needs to be available as far and wide as possible. +n the

    other hand, if the product is a Premium consumer product , it will be available

    only in select stores. 3imilarly, if the product is a business product, you need a

    team who interacts with businesses and makes the product available to them.Thus the place where the product is distributed depends on the product and

     pricing decisions, as well as any 3TP decisions taken by a firm.

    2istribution has a huge affect on the profitability of a product. onsider a

    /' company which has national distribution for its product. n increase in

     petrol rates by -s. 1 will in fact bring about drastic changes in the profitability

    of the company. Thus supply chain and logistics decisions are considered as

    very important costing decisions of the firm. The firm needs to have a full proof logistics and supply chain plan for its distribution.

    &) Pro&otio#s R Promotions in the marketing mi% includes the complete

    integrated marketing communications which in turn includes T* and =T*

    advertising as well as sales promotions. Promotions are dependent a lot on the

     product and pricing decision. Hhat is the budget for marketing and advertisingU

    Hhat stage is the product inU f the product is completely new in the market, it

    needs brand C product awareness promotions, whereas if the product is already

    e%isting then it will need brand recall promotions.

    Promotions also decide the segmentation targeting and positioning of the

     product. The right kind of promotions affect all the other three variables R the

     product, price and place. f the promotions are effective, you might have to

    increase distribution points, you might get to increase the price because of the

    rising brand eAuity of the product, and the profitability might support you in

    launching even more products.

  • 8/17/2019 Oreal Project 2015

    21/72

    the same needs to be taken in consideration while deciding the costing of the

     product.

    Thus as we see from the above diagram, all the four variables of marketing mi%

    are inter related and affect each other. =y increasing the pricing of the product,

    demand of the product might lessen, and lesser distribution points might be

    needed. +n the other hand, the product 3P can be such that ma%imumconcentration is on creating brand awareness, thereby increasing need of better 

     pricing and more promotions. /inally, the overall marketing mi% can result in

    your customer base asking for some improvement in the product, and the same

    can be launched as the upgraded product.

    The roe of &ar0eti#1 &i( i# Strate1y R arketing mi% plays a crucial role

    while deciding the strategy of an organiKation. t is the first step even when a

    marketing plan or a business plan is being made. This is because, your 

    marketing mi% decision will also affect segmentation, targeting and

     positioning decisions. =ased on products, segmentation and targeting will be

    done. =ased on the price, positioning can be decided. nd these decisions will

    likely affect the place and promotion decisions. Thus, the marketing mi%

    strategy goes hand in hand with segmentation targeting and positioning.

    about their hair these days, said -uchi Fhater, from beneath a stack of silver 

    foil at *#+r5al#s hairdressing academy.

    /or a customer who needs more than a trim, a visit to a hairdresser in ndia has

    traditionally been something of a hair?raising e%perience. This was particularly

    true for fair?haired Hestern women with layered styles and blonde highlights.They learnt the hard way that ndian hairdressers know little of color beyond a

     "et?black rinse or a streak of henna.

    That is not surprising as 89 per cent of ndian women have long, straight hair.

    Their natural tone is dark and they prefer home remedies recommended by their 

    mothers. ost still use hair oil ? vegetable oil, no less R rather than fancy

    conditioners.

    t is a challenging environment for any company trying to sell packaged beauty

     products R to the ma"ority of ndia#s 1.1 billion people they are not only alien

     but also an e%travagance.

    The solution for *#+r5al, the world#s largest beauty and cosmetics group, was to

    create a market from scratch.

    *#+r5al#s distribution network also plays a vital role. +ver the past decade thecompany has trained more than 7, hairdressers in ndia in the use of its

     products.

    n a media?driven culture obsessed with =ollywood, urban consumers are very

    demanding and image is everything. They read glossy magaKines such as

    Eogue, which launched an ndian edition in 3eptember, and follow the changing

    fashions of their favourite celebrities. ts sales in ndia, where it is $o ! behind

    nilever, are growing at 79 per cent a year. This year, they are about X1million (YB1 million).

    lthough *#+r5al#s professional products division represents only 1B per cent of 

    total revenues, hair color was the Paris?based group#s genesis and remains the

    creative heart of the business. oney?spinning mass?market brands such as

    'arnier are being pushed hard in ndia, where the company estimates there is a

    market of 9 million people.

    *#+r5al hopes that very soon it will be because they think they#re worth it.

    PROMOTION

    'arnier has been very active and upfront in adopting new promotional

    techniAues to market its products. The company follows a very popular 

    techniAue to advertise and market its products that is the Eiral arketing policy.Eiral marketing is a term coined to define the productive ways a marketing

    message is made available. nd corporate are using the medium to circulate

     brands and brand messages. The idea has caught on like a virus, as efficiently as

    nformation Technology has entered households and businesses.

    /irms are now structuring their businesses in a way that allows them to grow

    like a virus and lock out the e%isting brick and mortar competitors through

    innovative pricing and e%ploitation of competitors distribution channels. The

     beauty of this marketing techniAue is that none of it reAuires any marketing.

    ustomers, who have caught the virus, do the selling. Eiral marketing describes

    any strategy that encourages individuals to pass on a marketing message to

    others, creating the potential for e%ponential growth in the messages e%posure

    and influence. *ike viruses, such strategies take advantage of rapid

    multiplication to e%plode the message to thousands, to millions.

    +ff the nternet, viral marketing has been referred to as :word?of?mouth,

    :creating a buKK, :leveraging the media and even :network marketing. ts a

    deceptively simple conceptJ reate a message, send it via e?mail, and make it so

    compelling that recipients want to pass it on to everyone in their address book.

    dvertisers are hot on the tactic, and the idea of putting consumers to work 

    spreading the word about a brand or service seems sound.

    Hhen 'arnier launched its /ructis shampoo, they latched on to the idea. The

    firm had to introduce the aspect of five times stronger hair and the firm had a

     braid competition whereby consumers could register on a site and create a knot

    on the /ructis braid, as part of their entry into the contest. The knot creation was

    actually created (visually presented on the site) and as a ne%t step, consumers

    were e%pected to invite their friends to visit the braid and add to their score.

    record B@, consumers created their own knot on the braid and forwarded thelink to more than 8!, of their friends, a survey report indicated. Eiral

    marketers practice delayed gratification. They may not profit today, or 

    tomorrow, but if they can generate a groundswell of interest from something

    free, they know they will profit soon and for the rest of their lives. 3ince /ree

    happens to be the most powerful word in a marketers vocabulary, most viral

    marketing programmes have attached themselves to it. The idea is to give away

    valuable products or services to attract attention. nd, more importantly,

    someone elses resources are depleted rather than our own. 'arnier has positioned itself as a lifestyle product mainly targeting teenagers and young

    girls. This is very evident from 'arnier ads be it for 'arnier fructis shampoos or 

    for hair color.  n a recent advertisement of 'arnier hair color, a daughter 

    advises her mother to try the product and thus makes an attempt to promote

     product among middle?aged women.

    PRICE

    The target segment for any product is that homogeneous group of people which

    is purported to be the most potential customer for the product. The market

    follows the Pareto Principle, which says that 8 per cent of the sales come from

    ! per cent of the people. Thus, for any product, one of the ma"or tasks of 

    marketers is to identify the group of ! per cent that gives 8 per cent revenue

    of that product#s sale to the company. $o surprise then that ma"or marketing

    efforts of companies attempt to attract the most potential group. n the present

    stage of immense competition, companies are reAuired to effectively plan their 

     pricing strategies to not only retain current customers but to also e%pand the

    customer base by targeting new segments with an aim to convert them into loyal

    customers.

    Trying to strike a balance in its pricing strategy for the ndian market, Z*+real

    ndia Private *td believes that by introducing more stock keeping units (3Fs)

    it will be able to tide over the steep pricing of its products.

    r. shwin -a"gopal, arketing anager, *+real onsumer Products, told

    =usiness *ine that, :He are looking at pricing in the ndian conte%t and there isa kind of balance we have struck. onsidering the large number of 3Fs that

    we already have worldwide, it is possible to market the products at an almost

    comparable pricing.:

    /or aspirational products 'arnier has adopted an international pricing strategy,

    which may not be the case for the rest of the products.

    *+real recogniKed the leverage effect of it brand and focus its propagandas on

     brand rather than propagandas on particular product. t is dedicated in building

    the relationship between its brand and the market. t aims to enhance brand

     power by maintaining the good image in publicities. *+real#s efforts were also

    embodied on its marketing strategy. t always concentrates on supporting those

     brands which can mostly represent its advantages and leverage resources to

    those premium products.

    PLACE

    To run a company in profit the place factor out of the &p#s of marketing mi%

     plays a very crucial role. This includes decisions about where to sell the productor concerns about where the customers are, and how to get to them. t also

    includes the :channel of distribution: ? meaning, all the different middlemen a

    company use to get the product out to the  customer. *#+real runs a massive

    worldwide operation employing nearly @!, men and women of various

    races, backgrounds and religions across nearly @ countries. Part of the reason

    for the corporation#s success has been its sensitivity not only to its consumers

     but also to each and every one of its employees. The corporation has made sure

    that all their employees have opportunities to develop themselves both personally and professionally. This commitment by the corporation to take care

    of their own employees has resulted in *#+real being rated by the Iuropean

     business school students as The Imployer of hoice for the year !@. Hith

    over a century of e%perience in the cosmetics industry, *#+real has established

    10 global brands and produces them in & factories across the world. These

    factories are all state of the art and 3+ 1&1 certified and all of their 

    industrial sites are audited with the standard 3 8 (*#+real orporation).

    The corporation makes sure that every product that rolls out from their factoriescomplies with their own high standards and meets or e%ceeds Auality and safety

    standards set by local governmental agencies such as the /ood ; 2rug

    dministration of the nited 3tates of merica. *#+real#s success in the

    cosmetic industry is due not only to their high Auality, but also to the

    corporation#s marketing efforts to make sure their various brands have a strong

    market presence. n past 1 years that it has e%panded, it has supplied to 17

    countries with offices in 98 different countries. To make its presence feel in

    2ifferent types of research design have emerged on account of the different

     perspectives from which a research study can be viewed. There are three

    fundamental categories that we use freAuently are given below.

      EDPLORATOR  RESEARCH

    n the case of e%ploratory research, the focus is on the discovery of ideas. n

    e%ploratory study is generally based on the secondary data that are readily

    available. t does not have formal and rigid as the researcher may have to

    change his focus on direction, depending on new idea and relationships among

    variables. n e%ploratory research is in nature of preliminary investigation.

      *ESCR.PT.+E RESEARCH/

    The ob"ective of such a study is to answer the Swho, what, when, where and

    how of the sub"ect under investigation, descriptive studies are well structured

    and tend to be rigid.

      CAS-AL RESEARCH

      casual research investigates is cause and effect relationship between two or 

    more variables. The casual research design is based on reason along

    The research design used in this pro"ect is a 2I3-PTEI 2I3'$.

    DATA COLLECTION

    -esearch will be based on two sourcesJ

     

    PR.,AR *ATA

    Primary data is that kind of data which is collected by the investigator 

    herself for the purpose of specific study. The data such collected is original in

    character. The advantage of third method collection is the authenticity.

    SECON*AR *ATA

     

    &7

  • 8/17/2019 Oreal Project 2015

    44/72

    Hhen an investigator uses the data that has been collected by others is

    called secondary data. The secondary data could be collected from "ournals,

    reports and various publications. The advantages of secondary data can be

    economical, both in the term of money and time spent.

    n my pro"ect work have used both primary and secondary sources of data.

    Primary sources in the form of Auestionnaire and secondary sources were

    various internet sites like 'oogle.com, Hikipedia.org and many more with the

     past records of the company and also visited various libraries for collection of 

    the introduction part.

    SAMPLE TECHNI!E The sampling designs are mainly of two type non?probability and probability

    sample designs.

    -$2+ 3P*$'

    random sample gives every unit of population a known and probability of 

     being selected. 3ince random sampling implies eAual probability to every unit

    in the population. t is necessary that the selection of the sample must be freefrom human "udgments.

     3L3TIT 3P*$'

    n this method first a sampling fraction is calculated as $Cn where $ is the total

    no. of units in the population and n is the siKe of sample.

    3T-T/I2 -$2+ 3P*$'

    stratified random sampling is divided into mutually e%clusive and mutuallye%haustive strata or sub group and then a simple random sample is selected in

    each strata or sub group.

    • *3TI- 3P*$'

    luster sampling implies that instead of selecting individual units from the

     population entire groups or clusters are selected random.

    &9

  • 8/17/2019 Oreal Project 2015

    46/72

    [+T 3P*$'

    [uota sampling involves the fi%ation of certain Auotas, which are to be

    fulfilled by the interviewers, since Auota sampling is not based on randomselection it is not possible to calculate estimates of certain errors for the

    sample result.

    N2'II$T* 3P*$'

    The main characteristics of "udgmental sampling is that units on elements of the

     population are purposely selected it is because of this that "udgment samples are

    also called purposive samples. 3ince the purpose of "udgmental sampling is not

     based on random sampling it is also called non probability sampling.

    The inference that can be drawn from the above two pie charts is that

    irrespective of whether the consumers are working or are students, the brand has

    a good popularity. This means that the brand has successfully caters to the needs

    of the youth as well as people falling in the age bracket of 79 to 99.

    The above data gives a combined interpretation for both working and non

     products are easily available at every store while 10 feel that they are available

    only at selective stores and out of 7@ non working respondents, 1@ respondents

    55/72

    are available only at selective stores and only 1 respondent felt that the products

    are not easily available at all.

    The combined interpretation of this result indicates that the distribution network 

    of 'arnier is not very strong which leads to the unavailability of 'arnier 

     products Auite often.

  • 8/17/2019 Oreal Project 2015

    56/72

    combined interpretation of this can be that about 94 of both working

    respondents as well as students feel that the prices of all the 'arnier products

    are slightly overpriced. This means that 'arnier does not have a prime aim to

    offer the products at reasonable or affordable prices for all segments of 

    consumers. This is because 'arnier caters mainly to the middle class and the

    upper middle class consumers with a prime aim of providing good Auality

     products to its loyal customers.

    The common interpretation out of this result can be that a ma"ority of customers

    the Auality of products being offered by 'arnier so that it can attract more
