Case Garnier by L'Oreal
Caso Garnier by L’Oréal
L’Oréal Group era uno de los manufactureros de cosméticos más grandes en el mundo en el 1992. Sus oficinas centrales estaban ubicadas en París y tienen subsidiaros en más de 100 países. Los subsidiarios europeos de L’Oréal se dividían en dos grupos:
- “Major countries”- Inglaterra, Francia, Alemania e Italia
- “Minor countries”- Holanda y otros nueve países
Para la compañía, la innovación era un factor crítico para ser exitosos. Por tal razón invertían mucho dinero tanto en investigación como desarrollo y su inversión era recuperada a través de introducciones globales de sus productos. Todas sus operaciones de investigación se llevaban a cabo en Francia y una vez un producto era desarrollado se le ofrecía a los subsidiarios que tenían alrededor del mundo. Debido a que el ciclo de vida de los cosméticos era muy corto, L’Oréal trataba de introducir uno o dos productos nuevos anuales al mercado global. Los subsidiarios internacionales podrían tomar decisión de “go” o “no go” sobre los productos, pero generalmente no tenían la autoridad de tomar decisiones en el proceso de investigación y desarrollo. En mercados establecidos tales como Holanda, los subsidiarios tenían que financiar los lanzamientos de nuevas líneas de producto con las ganancias obtenidas por las operaciones financieras llevadas a cabo en su país.
L’Oréal mercadeaba productos bajo su propio nombre, al igual que mercadeaba productos bajo nombres individuales y brand family names. En el 1970 L’Oréal adquirió, los laboratorios Garnier y se convirtió en una de las divisiones de L’Oréal. En Francia, Garnier trabajaba como una división completamente separada y su fuerza de de ventas competía con la división de L’Oréal. En Holanda, el mercado era mucho más pequeño que el de Francia, por lo que Garnier y L’Oréal serían mercadeados por la misma fuerza de ventas. Los consumidores holandeses tenían muy poco, si alguno, conocimiento de Garnier y no habían formado una imagen

    L’Oreal, a long time hair care, skincare, and cosmetic leader, was faced with a positioning problem of their Plenitude skincare line. The Plenitude line, which included cleansers and moisturizers had been a smashing success in the French skincare market following its 1982 introduction and was introduced in the U.S. market in 1988. It had grown quickly to become the #2 brand in the market, behind Oil of Olay. Plenitude was marketed as an upscale product bringing new people into mass channels from department stores. A four-year sales plateau was reached and their #2 position was lost to Pond’s. Carol Hamilton, Senior Vice President of Marketing for the L’Oreal Retail division was faced with a division that wasn’t making any money after an 8-9 year introduction into the U.S. market.…

    1st Question: What were the reasons for the success of Sanex in Spain? The product Sanex, or moreover the Sanex concept, became a success in Spain because the company responsible for it, CVL, and it’s local President, Mr. Martin Muñoz, carried out one of the first rules of Marketing: they invented a Consumer’s need and provided the right answer for it. Mr. Muñoz was able to find a gap in the Household and Personal Care (HPC) Market, and namely in the Bath & Shower Products Market, where we could only find, in the mid 1980’s, 2 types of products: Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals. After studying this market along with his management team, Mr. Muñoz realized that the first ones were perceived as lower end products, abrasive (sometimes giving rashes to its users) and with strong scents, only suitable for cleaning one’s body and not offering additional properties. The second ones were perceived by costumers as being suitable for almost medicinal purposes only, with no day-to-day applicability. Pharmaceuticals were not appealing to the mass consumer, namely because they had no perfume in its composition, besides being rather more expensive than their counterpart ones. We could find Cosmetics in supermarket chains and Pharmaceuticals in pharmacies. In this way, we can say that Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals divided the Bath & Shower Products Market, but in fact these were 2 completely different segments of the Market, with totally different approaches and Marketing Mix, being it in terms of Product, Price, Placement or Publicity. Accordingly, Mr. Muñoz realized that there was a huge gap in the Market and thus started developing a product that should position itself between Cosmetics and Pharmaceuticals: it should be cleansing as Cosmetics were, but slightly milder, and should offer a protection side as the Pharmaceuticals did. It should embrace the best of those 2 opposite worlds,…

    L´Occitane Market Analysis

    • 9160 Words
    • 37 Pages

    Executive Summary Cosmetic industry is one of the fastest growing industries in today’s economy. Despite the financial recession and instability the market of cosmetics keeps growing. Trends are changing rapidly: what a couple of years ago was a niche market and was aimed at a narrow range of customers today becomes a must if a company wants to survive. A number of EU countries have developed a large trade surplus and a significant comparative advantage in cosmetics products. French and German companies sustain their comparative advantage by allocating more resources to innovative activity and new product development than other countries. The result is a large number of patents and successful new product launches in each company's established markets. In general, EU companies have had little success in penetrating the market in Japan and China. Regulatory barriers may have been an issue for EU firms in the past, however, the accessibility of the Japanese cosmetics market has greatly improved since it was deregulated. Regulations in the industry play a key role when entering the market. They can serve as an entry barrier for new companies due to additional costs and bureaucracy. But as well they can serve as an indicator of an environmentally friendly, cruelty-free company. L’Occitane is an all-natural beauty products provider, based in Manosque in the Haute-Provence region of southern France. A fixture in Europe, L’Occitane has a growing retail presence in Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea, Australia and elsewhere in the Pacific Rim. L’Occitane is one of the most successful EU companies. When going international L’Occitane faced challenges, was operating in red but in the end it yielded high profits on the Asian market and now the main company’s activity is concentrated in that region. A detailed study of the company was conducted in order to assess company’s current situation. One of the…
