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




                              8
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

                                                                             9
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

                                                                            10
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


                                                                             11
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




                      14
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


                                                                         15
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


                                                                           16
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




                                                                       17
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.



                                                                         18
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.




                                                                               19
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

Conclusion
    From my study I found 100% of respondent know the LUX Beauty
        Soap

    98% of respondent recall the LUX brand.

    87% of respondent know the LUX brand through Advertisement

    FMCG industry is highly consumer switchable industry.

    If LUX wants to exist need day to day promotion.

    When customer wants to buy soap he/she try to find or try to
       associate the brand with his or her.




                                                                    39
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.




                                                                       40
limitation

    For this study how much time I have taken is little less.

    Old advertisement has not proper recode on internet that’s why I didn’t
     get old data.

    Two hundred respondents are less respondent for this study.




                                                                        41

  • 8. 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. 7
  • 9. Chapter- 2  History of the LUX BEAUTY SOSP 8
  • 10. 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 9
  • 11. 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 10
  • 12. 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 11
  • 13. 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. 12

  • 16. 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 15
  • 17. 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 16
  • 18. 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 17
  • 19. 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. 18
  • 20. 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. 19
  • 21. 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.
