INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) goods are all consumable items (other than groceries/pulses) that one needs to buy at regular intervals. These are items which are used daily, and so have a quick rate of consumption, and a high return. FMCG can broadly be categorized into three segments which are:

1. Household items as soaps, detergents, household accessories, Etc. 2. Personal care items as shampoos, toothpaste, shaving products, Etc. and

finally 3. Food and Beverages as snacks, processed foods, tea, coffee, edible oils,

soft drinks etc. Global leaders in the FMCG segment are Nestlé, ITC, Hindustan Unilever Limited, Reckitt Benckiser, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, Coca-Cola, Carlsberg, Kleenex, General Mills, Pepsi, Gillette etc. Overview

The burgeoning middle class Indian population, as well as the rural sector, present a huge potential for this sector. The FMCG sector in India is at present, the fourth largest sector with a total market size in excess of USD 13 billion as of 2012. This sector is expected to grow to a USD 33 billion industry by 2015 and to a whooping USD 100 billion by the year 2025.

This sector is characterized by strong MNC presence and a well-established distribution network. In India the easy availability of raw materials as well as cheap labour makes it an ideal destination for this sector. There is also intense competition between the organised and unorganised segments and the fight to keep operational costs low. A look at some factors that will drive growth in this sector:

Increasing rate of urbanization, expected to see major growth in coming years.

Rise in disposable incomes, resulting in premium brands having faster growth and deeper penetration.

Innovative and stronger channels of distribution to the rural segment, leading to deeper penetration into this segment.

Increase in rural non-agricultural income and benefits from government welfare programmes.

Investment in stock markets of FMCG companies, which are expected to grow constantly.

History of the LUX BEAUTY

SOSP

History of lux beauty soap

Lux soap first produced in United Kingdom in 1899. It was produced by

British company name Lever Brothers. Lever Brothers was founded in 1885

by William Hesketh Lever and his brother James. They using glycerin and

vegetable oil such as palm oil to manufacture soap called “Sunlight Soap.” The

flaked version of soap called Lux soap. Glycerin was a lucrative byproduct of

the soap making process, and by the end of 1886, Lever brothers also had a

glycerin factory.

Visit any departmental store or retail outlet, and you find its shelved

stocked with Lux Beauty soaps in different variants, with attractive colours on

the packaging and its permanent sign of the female model present on the

package. Today, Lux is a household name when it comes to soaps and in many

places (especially in rural areas), it has become a synonym for soaps. People

often walk into a shop and ask for Lux, when they mean, that they wish to buy

a soap.

The Lux soap was first launched as laundry soap way back in 1916, with specially targeting the delicate garments. The Level Brothers (who found what we today know as Unilever), encouraged women to do their laundry at home without worrying about those delicate silks and satins turning yellow which often came as a result of the strong and harsh chemicals present in the laundry soaps of that time. Lux at that time was much more gentle on the clothes, it dissolved much more easily and was advertised as being suitable for home use.

The Lux toilet soap as we know today came around in 1925. It was advertised as a bathroom soap, and the initial name “Sunlight flakes” was changed to Lux, which is the Latin word for “Light” and was supposed to be a shortened version of the word “Luxury”. From 1925 till date, Lux has been marketed in various forms – Soaps, Limited Editions, Bars, Flakes, Liquids, Gels and Body washed.

In India, Lux was launched in 1929, and it has always come in various colours and packages as well as world-class fragrances. These changes kept

10

coming with changing fashion trends. In 1958, the soap came in five colours – pink, blue, white, yellow and green, and the customers would buy the soaps in a way that they could match it with the colours of their bathrooms!

Lux has always used popular movie stars as its brand endorsers. Even if the ad went around common women, it still had references to some or the other movie star.

The year-wise brand image of the soap can be described as –

The 30s: This is when the widespread advertising of the product began. At this time, Lux used much older women, who would talk about preserving the youthful beauty of the skin in the series of print ads that came during this time.

The 40s and the 50s: In this era, the focus shifted to the attributes that the consumers associated with the brand and the role the brand played in her life.

The 60s: It was in this decade that the “Fantasy Element” that we commonly associate Lux with today was created, more simply put as the feeling of being a film star that the soap generates. The campaigns began highlighting the sensorial and emotional attributes of the brand along with the beauty quotient. The ads did not contain a star, but contained references to them.

The 70s: This was a time when they beauty trends shifted from the then conventional ones. Natural and wholesome beauty became the buzz. So, the stars of Lux stepped down from the pedestals they stood on before and the campaign focus began to highlight the multi-faceted nature of a woman, which the ordinary consumer of the soap was better able to relate to at the time.

The 80s: by this time Lux had established itself as the soap of the stars and elite and its image became one of a must-have for beauty among all women. The campaigns of the 80s started focusing on skincare, which was portrayed to be the first step towards beauty. It was during this time that Lux was launched in China.

The 90s: During this time, Lux moved away from being a general beauty soap to launching soaps in the market that were more function specific. Variants for different skin types also came in. The communication strategy started becoming more localized and regionalized. Different ad campaigns for

11

different regions (say, Middle East, China, etc) started coming in. It was also during this period that Lux went in for brand extension and launched its range of Rich shampoos, shower gels and creams.

The 2000s: By now, Lux had expanded so far and wide, that the other end was not visible from one end. This decade saw the focus of the campaigns and the product shift from specific functional benefits of usage to the emotional factor associated with the soaps. By this time, modelling and fashion industry had drawn a lot of dreams in the eyes of millions of women. Cashing in on this, Lux tried to bridge up those aspiring models and the existing stars of the industry. Notable was the “Lux Haute Pink” advertisement, with the woman in the bath tub, flying over the world in a hot air balloon and spreading the beauty by blowing down bubbles from her tub. It focused not only on beauty but the confidence that beauty generates in a woman. Versions like Crystal Shine, Festive Glow, Sunscreen, Almond Extracts, Orchid extracts, etc. Came in during this time.

The 2010s: Today, the focus is back on beauty – which has been the roots of the product. The fruit versions of the soap – Strawberry and cream, Peach and cream are quite popular. New variants – Purple lotus and cream, and Aqua Sparkle had been launched at reality shows on televisions which is a new development in the basket of marketing strategies of the soap.

Lux has always had the most beautiful women in the film industry endorsing the brands. If we see internationally, there have been Marilyn Monroe, Sophia Loren, Raquel Welch, Cheryl Ladd, Demi Moore, Brigitte Bargot, Natalie Wood, Sandra Dee, Diana Rig, Samantha Eggar, Sarah Jessica Parker, Catherine Zeta Jones, etc. If we see in India, then the first print ad of Lux came starring Leela Chitnis. After that there have been a string of leading ladies – Madhubala, Nargis, Meena Kumari, Mala Sinha, Sharmila Tagore, Waheeda Rehman, Saira Banu, Hema Malini, Zeenat Aman, Juhi Chawla, Madhuri Dixit, Sridevi, ashwarya Rai, Karishma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Babita, Priyanka Chopra, Katrina Kaif, Mahima Choudhry, etc. In fact, Lux would be perhaps the only women’s beauty soap brand which has had male models endorsing it. This came when Paul Newman (internationally) and Shah Rukh Khan and Abhishek Bachchan (Indian) endorsed the brand. It can thus be said, that the USP of Lux advertising is the presence of popular movie stars in it. The positioning of the brand can be said to be according to the Reference

12

Group by using the famous celebrity at that point of time. Partially attribute positioning can also be considered for Lux, since the ingredients of Lux have also been greatly highlighted. Today, Lx also serves as a sponsoring brand name for so many awards and functions like the popular Lux Zee Cine awards, making its positioning of being associated with the stars more prominent.

Today, Lux beauty bar can be regarded to be in the maturity stage of its life cycle.

Lux has always had the leading actors of their times endorse the brand, which has made Lux the market leader and the brand has indeed set benchmarks for competition in the market. Today, Lux is manufactured at more than 71 locations and has more than 2000 suppliers and associates who provide raw materials for its manufacture. The key markets of Lux lie in Pakistan, Brazil, USA, China, Bangladesh & South Africa. Lux is also the market leader in Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Brazil and Thailand. It is also one of the most trusted brands in India. Lux has offerings in two of the four market segments for soaps. These are popular and premium. The popular segment covers all those soaps that we generally see sitting on our retail outlet shelves – Strawberry and Cream, Peach and cream, Purple Lotus and cream, etc. The Premium segment covers the Lux International range.

The novel metallic substrate packaging of Lux has been characteristic of the soaps with the same font style of writing the brand name that go back as far as any of us can remember, coupled with the ingredient linked fragrances of the soap have been written down memories of so many generations.

WHAT IS ALL ABOUT

ADVERTISEMENT

15

What is all about advertisement

Advertising is a form of communication for marketing and used to encourage or persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners; sometimes a specific group) to continue or take some new action. Most commonly, the desired result is to drive consumer behavior with respect to a commercial offering, although political and ideological advertising is also common. In Latin, ad vertebra means “to turn the mind toward.” The purpose of advertising may also be to reassure employees or shareholders that a company is viable or successful. Advertising messages are usually paid for by sponsors and viewed via various traditional media including mass media such as newspaper, magazines, television commercial, radio advertisement, outdoor advertising or direct mail; or new media such as blogs, websites or text messages

Commercial advertisers often seek to generate increased consumption of their products or services through "branding," which involves associating a product name or image with certain qualities in the minds of consumers. Non-commercial advertisers who spend money to advertise items other than a consumer product or service include political parties, interest groups, religious organizations and governmental agencies. Non-profit organizations may rely on free modes of persuasion, such as a public service announcement (PSA).

Objectives of Advertising

Four main Objectives of advertising are:

i. Trial ii. Continuity

iii. Brand switch iv. Switching back

Let’s take a look on these various types of objectives.

1. Trial: the companies which are in their introduction stage generally work for this objective. The trial objective is the one which involves convincing the customers to buy the new product introduced in the

16

market. Here, the advertisers use flashy and attractive ads to make customers take a look on the products and purchase for trials.

2. Continuity: this objective is concerned about keeping the existing customers to stick on to the product. The advertisers here generally keep on bringing something new in the product and the advertisement so that the existing customers keep buying their products.

3. Brand switch: this objective is basically for those companies who want to attract the customers of the competitors. Here, the advertisers try to convince the customers to switch from the existing brand they are using to their product.

1. Switching back: this objective is for the companies who want their previous customers back, who have switched to their competitors. The advertisers use different ways to attract the customers back like discount sale, new advertise, some reworking done on packaging, etc.

Basically, advertising is a very artistic way of communicating with the customers. The main characteristics one should have to get on their objectives are great communication skills and very good convincing power.

Importance of Advertising

Advertising plays a very important role in today’s age of competition. Advertising is one thing which has become a necessity for everybody in today’s day to day life, be it the producer, the traders, or the customer. Advertising is an important part. Lets have a look on how and where is advertising important:

1. Advertising is important for the customers

Just imagine television or a newspaper or a radio channel without an advertisement! No, no one can any day imagine this. Advertising plays a very important role in customers life. Customers are the people who buy the product only after they are made aware of the products available in the market. If the product is not advertised, no customer will come to know what products are available and will not buy the product even if the product was for their benefit. One more thing is that advertising helps people find the best products for themselves, their

17

kids, and their family. When they come to know about the range of products, they are able to compare the products and buy so that they get what they desire after spending their valuable money. Thus, advertising is important for the customers.

2. Advertising is important for the seller and companies producing the products

Yes, advertising plays very important role for the producers and the sellers of the products, because

Advertising helps increasing sales

Advertising helps producers or the companies to know their competitors and plan accordingly to meet up the level of competition.

If any company wants to introduce or launch a new product in the market, advertising will make a ground for the product. Advertising helps making people aware of the new product so that the consumers come and try the product.

Advertising helps creating goodwill for the company and gains customer loyalty after reaching a mature age.

The demand for the product keeps on coming with the help of advertising and demand and supply become a never ending process.

3. Advertising is important for the society

Advertising helps educating people. There are some social issues also which advertising deals with like child labour, liquor consumption, girl child killing, smoking, family planning education, etc. thus, advertising plays a very important role in society

Types od advertisement

Print entire guide A successful advertising campaign will spread the word about your

products and services attract customers and generate sales. Whether you are trying to encourage new customers to buy an existing product or launching a new service, there are many options to choose from.

The most suitable advertising option for your business will depend on what products or services you are advertising, and your target audience. For example, if you know that your target market reads a particular magazine, you should advertise in that publication.

The following list is an introduction to advertising methods that you could use. Remember, you can always be creative in your advertising to get noticed (within advertising regulations).

Newspaper

Newspaper advertising can promote your business to a wide range of customers. Display advertisements are placed throughout the paper, while classified listings are under subject headings in a specific section.

You may find that a combination of advertising in your state/metropolitan newspaper and your local paper gives you the best results.

Magazine

Advertising in a specialist magazine can reach your target market quickly and easily. Readers (your potential customers) tend to read magazines at their leisure and keep them for longer, giving your advertisement multiple chances to attract attention.

If your products need to be displayed in colour then glossy advertisements in a magazine can be ideal - although they are generally expensive.

Magazines do not usually serve a small area such as a specific town. If your target market is only a small percentage of the circulation, then advertising may not be cost-effective.

19

Radio

Advertising on the radio is a great way to reach your target audience. If your target market listens to a particular station, then regular advertising can attract new customers.

However, sound has its limitations. Listeners can find it difficult to remember what they have heard and sometimes the impact of radio advertising is lost. The best way to overcome this is to repeat your message regularly - which increases your costs significantly. If you cannot afford to play your advertisement regularly, you may find that radio advertising does not generate strong results.

Television

Television has an extensive reach and advertising this way is ideal if you cater to a large market in a large area. Television advertisements have the advantage of sight, sound, movement and colour to persuade a customer to buy from you. They are particularly useful if you need to demonstrate how your product or service works.

Producing a television advertisement and then buying an advertising slot is generally expensive. Advertising is sold in units (e.g. 20, 30, 60 seconds) and costs vary according to the time slot in which your advertisement appears.

Directories

Directories list businesses by name or category (e.g. phone directories). Customers who refer to directories have often already made up their mind to buy - they just need to decide who to buy from.

The major advantage of online directories over print directories is that if you change your business name, address or telephone number, you can easily keep it up to date in the directory. You can also add new services or information about your business.

If your target market uses print and online directories, it may be useful to advertise in both.

20

Billboards

Billboards can be signs by the road, hoardings at sport stadiums or posters on buses, taxis and buses. Large billboards can get your message across with a big impact. If the same customers pass your billboard every day as they travel to work, you are likely to be the first business they think of when they want to buy a product.

Even the largest of billboards usually contain a limited amount of information; otherwise, they can be difficult to read. Including your website address makes it easy for customers to follow up and find out more about your business.

Direct mail, catalogues and leaflets

Direct mail means writing to customers directly. The more precise your mailing list or distribution area, the more of your target market you will reach. A direct mail approach is more personal, as you can select your audience and plan the timing to suit your business. Find out more about direct mail. Catalogues, brochures and leaflets can also be distributed to your target area. Including a brochure with your direct mail is a great way to give an interested customer more information about your products and services. Learn more about leaflet marketing using letterbox drops and hand-outs. Online

Advertising on the internet can be a cost-effective way to attract new customers. You can reach a global audience at a low cost. Many customers research businesses online before deciding whom to buy from.

A well-designed website can entice customers to buy from you. Learn more about doing business online There are other ways to advertise your business online - you could promote your products or services on social media sites, blogs and search engines and other websites that your target audience visits.

Lux is a latin word whose meaning is light, a symbol of luxury. That’s the reason why it has always been branded in India as “filmi sitaaron ka saundarya saabun (the beauty soap of film stars)”.

Recommendation

LUX is high market performance beauty Soap, but rather market has full

of competition

Customer only recall the brand name when it has a strong back

promotion support

So LUX has to be continuing day to day promotion.

Only Advertisement makes increase mind recall power of Customer.

LUX should associate their brand name with customer demand.

LUX involves more Bollywood celebrity because customer is habituate

to see LUX with young and fashionable celebrity.

41
