Eurekaaa! There lies the true reason, shininglike a solitaire on a platinum ring

    "I love Camay because it celebrates my being"

    I mean how many products do that in this materialistic world of today? Whileother beauty soaps talk about making your skin i.e. the outer faade beautiful,Camay makes way to the inner self, it makes me realize the forgotten woman,me!

    After a day spent at office where work reigns supreme and terms such as targetstake a wholly new meaning when it comes to females, I come home to begreeted by the incessant cacophony of my husband. There are so many

    problems to be taken care of, too many issues to be resolvedChildren'suniforms, their books, grocery shopping! The list is endless. I listen to myhusband's complaints, his life, he did this and he did that. I join my children tolisten to their problems, to entertain them. I mean what about me? I live too! Therationale of 'I think therefore, I am', sounds like a ridiculous way of being to me.

    It is when I'm surrounded by these thoughts that I run for my bathroom where mytub, and Camay wait for me - Camay, the arched pillow that gives me the onlychance to relish myself. Camay, with its fragrances celebrates with quietness andserene, my unappreciated being.

    Camay is about indulgence, taking time out for myself and pampering me for theentire world's worth. It is about the sheer euphony of moving to the lilting tunes ofmy essence. Camay cherishes me, it tells me I AM!

    I love Camay, because it stands for me.

    Conducting Market Research

    Market research is the process of gathering information to help you makedecisions relating to the marketing of your business.

    In formulating you marketing plan, you will need information on:

    Your competitors Your potential customers Your product Your costs

    There are two sources where this information can be obtained - secondary dataand primary data.

    Secondary data is information that has already been collected/published and thatis indirectly related to the problem but will assist the research.

    Examples include:

    Company files and sales data & Library resources Universities Catalogues & Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Other Government Departments Industry Associations Magazines and trade publications Websites (providing they are reliable sources)

    Primary data is information collected directly to solve the problem facingthe business. Examples include:

    21/31

    Interviews Surveys and questionnaires Field work Internal research

    There are many ways to research the market place for your business and theyare generally inexpensive. The more you can discover, the greater advantageyou have over your competitors and this in turn will give you a good foundationfor building a successful business.

    Knowing Your Competition

    It is important for your business to know who your competitors are and what youare going to be competing against. To be successful your business needs todevelop and sustain a competitive advantage over the competition.

    Take these questions into account:

    SWOT Analysis:

    Do you know what your competitors are doing? What are your competitors' strengths? Weaknesses? What do consumers think about your competitors' products? How are you going to position yourself with your competitors? Would it be

    meeting the competition? Beating the competition? Countering the

    competition? Are you competing on price? Product? Or quality?

    Selecting Your Target Market

    Another important issue in marketing is to select your target market of potentialcustomers. That is dividing the market into specific groups so that you candetermine the segments that will seek your products and/or services. Your targetmarket needs to be large enough and sustainable, in order to be able to supportyour business.

    The market can be segmented into different categories including:

    Age Gender Occupation Type of employment

    Home ownership Geographic location Ethnic identity Brand loyalty

    Income level Education

    Once you have done this, you can then select the target market which best suitsyour business's sales and aim your marketing focus on these segments.

    The 4 P's

    One of the most important aspects of marketing is "the 4 P's" practice. The FourP's include: Product, Place, Price and Promotion. To get the best from yourbusiness you will need to implement them together.

    1. Product

    You need to understand your customers' (or potential customers) needs anddevelop your goods and/or services around them. Aspects involved in this couldbe:

    Research and development Features Warranties

    Packaging

    Accessories Linked products

    Quality control

    2. Place

    Place not only includes the physical aspect of your business premises but alsoincludes where the goods and/or services are available.

    The following details need to be considered:

    Where is the business located geographically? Do people notice it? Is it easy to find? Is it easily accessible for vehicles? Is the building exterior and interior presentable? Remember that first

    impressions can greatly affect your business! Is the layout suited to the customer when shopping? Are you situated close to your target market for deliveries, distribution,

    provision of services etc?

  • 8/7/2019 18149910-Camay-Hard-Copy1

    23/31

    What other distribution mechanisms do you have for your goods and/orservices?

    3. Price

    It is important to put the correct value on your goods/services. When deciding ona pricing policy, consider the following:

    To make sure your business is viable you need to profit from the prices onyour goods/services.

    Take into account where the product is on the Product Life Cycle(Introduction-Growth-Maturity-Decline), as there may be pricingadjustments for the different stages.

    Will your pricing policy cover your overhead costs? It is important to fullyunderstand your costs and set your prices to recoup these costs.

    4. Promotion

    Promotion covers advertising, publicity, public relations, personal selling, salespromotion and networking.

    To effectively promote your business, you should consider:

    Who is your target market? Where do you want to direct your promotions? What image are you trying to project? What do you want to promote? Price? Product? Quality? Service? What resources do you have to carry out the promotion strategy? What strategy are you going to use?

    In 2004, the entire Lux range was relaunched in the UK to include five showergels, three bath products and two new soap bars. 2005 saw the launch of threeexciting new variants with dreamy names such as Wine & Roses bath cream,Glowing Touch and Sparkling Morning shower gels.

    Developing a Marketing Plan

    After conducting your market research and selecting your target market, the nextstep is to prepare a Marketing Plan. A Marketing Plan is a written policy of amarket strategy, how long it is going to take to implement and complete. It needsto include:

    The marketing mix that is going to be offered (either or all of the 4 P's), towhich target market and for how long it is going to be offered.

    What resources are going to be needed and at what rate? What results are expected? A control, so that it keeps the plan going in the right direction, and not

    diverting from the original design.

    Your Marketing Plan will be a valuable tool for your business. It is not just buying,selling and advertising, and it will benefit your business financially and in manyother ways!

    Promotion is a marketing activity that aims to persuade others and influence theirattitudes and behaviors about your business and what you are selling.

    It is an important feature in getting your goods and services noticed in themarketplace and a way to attract more business. You may be at the right place atthe right time but your customers and potential customers need to know about it!

    How to Promote

  • 8/7/2019 18149910-Camay-Hard-Copy1

    27/31

    Promotion can be carried out in different ways, through:

    Personal selling Advertising Publicity Public relations Sales promotion Networking

    Personal selling is face-to-face communication (or sometimes on the telephone)with the potential customer. This type of promotion would be best used withgoods/services that need a lot of technical explanation e.g. car sales, computerequipment etc

    Advertising is a paid form of communication about goods/services. Advertisingcan be done through:

    Magazines & Newspapers Radio & Television Signs/posters/billboards Direct mail Business cards Brochures Gimmicks and "freebies" Junk mail Phone Book Internet/Web

    Publicity is an unpaid form of communication about your business.

    It is more credible with potential customers than advertising. Publicity avoidspaying advertising or media costs, by:

    Persuading a newspaper to print an article about your business. Going on a Talk Radio to discuss your business, instead of paying for an

    advertisement. Sponsoring a sporting team to give your business name exposure in the

    community.

    Public relations

    Is about developing and maintaining good relations with your customers andsuppliers, your staff, and the public. A key part of public relations is the imageyou project. First impressions mean everything, and the attitude of staff towards

  • 8/7/2019 18149910-Camay-Hard-Copy1

    28/31

    your customers is also important. Consider the way they speak on the phone,their appearance; is there a personal touch? Do they meet the need of thecustomer? Are they well trained about what the business is offering?

    Networking

    Is a form of Public Relations, which involves using the contacts you have to helpassist your business, by promotion and recommendations? Networking can makeyou new friends; increase your peer support, business contacts and yourcapability to create revenue. It also allows you to gain access to new informationthat you can use to grow your business.

    Networks that you could access include:

    Professional and trade organizations (e.g. Chamber of Commerce NT,regional business associations, etc)

    Community service organizations Clubs Political parties Women's groups Conservation groups Charity and welfare organizations Churches Cultural groups

    You can use these networks as a form of promoting your business, asconsumers' regard "word of mouth" to be a reliable source.

    Sales promotion includes a range of promotional activities - other thanadvertising, publicity and personal selling - designed to stimulate interest, trial orpurchase.

    This can be done through:

    Samples Tradeshows Gifts & give-aways Calendars & diaries Contests Meetings Displays

  • 8/7/2019 18149910-Camay-Hard-Copy1

    29/31

    Some good gift ideas are items that customers would use daily e.g. pens, notepads, key-rings and mouse pads. These work because they act as constantreminders of your business.

    When to Promote

    To get value for your promotion dollars, it is important to identify the best times toadvertise. Some goods and services need continuous promotion, as thepurchase cycles of the customers are not erratic. Other products may be affectedby seasonal trends and are promoted heavily at specific times of the year, eg,summer/winter, tourist season, school holidays, special calendar dates, etc.

    The stage of your product on the "product life cycle" will also influence yourpromotional activities. For example, new and innovative products may requireheavy promotion when first introduced to the market whilst established productsgenerally require less intense promotion.

    The important thing is to create a regular program for communicating with yourcustomers, to constantly remind them of your business and what you areoffering.

    Tips for Successful Promotion

    With any form of promotion your aim is to get the potential customers' attention,then keep their interest and develop it into a desire to buy. Make them think that

    your product is necessary and desirable, by promoting the benefits to them, notjust the physical features of your product.

    Once you have persuaded them into wanting your product, it needs to beexchanged to an action - the action of purchasing. Then your promotion hasbeen successful!

    It is important to understand that people don't buy goods or services - they buybenefits. Remember, customers want value and solutions to their problems andneeds.

    Other Helpful Hints

    When looking at promotion, be careful to choose the most effective andworthwhile techniques for your business. The aim is to reach the greatestnumber of potential customers in your market, within your budget.

    Use persuasive and attention-getting words, such as:o "Results"o "Bargain"

  • 8/7/2019 18149910-Camay-Hard-Copy1

    30/31

    o "Efficient"o "Discover"o "Quality"o "New"o "Save"

    Monitor the results of your promotional activities and review your sellingefforts so that you can improve on them.

    Provide a physical element to the intangible character of a service. Thecustomer needs to feel as though they have received something.

    Under-promises but over-deliver! Deliver your promise. You lose yourcredibility when promises are broken, as many other businesses do thesame thing and you will be "just like the others."

    Maintaining a consistent theme and style is important in developing amemorable business image.

    Focus on your unique and competitive advantage - tell your customerswhat makes your business better than others.

    Be original and creative.

    Absolutely. Since we are on the subject of acronyms, introducing the Six C's ofmarketing. These concepts are not meant to replace the four P's, but rathercompliment them. They provide a more granular look at the overall marketingstrategy while taking into consideration the following: customer, consistency,creativity, culture, communication and change.

    Customer- this means that an organization's marketing strategy needs to becustomer focused. It's about intimately understanding the target market not asdemographics, but as real, everyday people. It's about focusing on the targetcustomer first and then working backwards to the product and or service; andthen ultimately the brand. It's a never ending cyclical process.

    Consistency - how many times have you heard mixed messages from the samecompany's advertising? Marketers need to maintain consistency in their

    communication messages to reinforce the value proposition to the targetconsumer. This will also serve to reinforce the brand in a real life context andavoid doing something lame like changing the Nike tag line from "just do it" tosomething different.

    Creativity - it is important to use creativity to attract the attention of the targetconsumer since they are bombarded with thousands of messages per day.Creativity means laying aside the "traditional" rules of advertising, and challenges

  • 8/7/2019 18149910-Camay-Hard-Copy1

    31/31

    marketers to think out-of-box so that they can tap into their imaginations.

    Culture - all marketing messages need to have a cross-cultural component inorder to be effective. It is dangerous to think that everyone in the world (includingyour target consumer) thinks, acts and makes purchase decisions exactly likeyou. It's not true and having this perspective can prove to be hazardous to yourmarketing health.

    Communication - people don't appreciate "in your face" advertising. They don'twant to be "marketed to" either. They would much rather be "communicatedwith". Effective communication creates value with target customers, speaks intheir language and tells your story.

    Change - don't fight it, embrace it. Change is here to stay! Marketers must

    constantly change as society changes. They should never be afraid to step out infaith to try something different. Marketing today is not what it used to be; it isconstantly evolving and marketers must consider change in the world, economy,market, consumers perceptions; as well as internal change within theorganization.
