Market analysisMarket analysis• Global cosmetic share

SWOT AnalysisSWOT AnalysisStrengths

Boro Plus AC has strong brand recognition. Boro Plus AC is considered the lead provider in Antiseptic treatment.Fr om a very strong parent company Emami.Penetrated across North & east rural market, growth led by AC sachet.Low price

Weaknesses Seasonal usageSticky formulation of cream.Associated with therapeutic usage

Opportunities Youth market (13-20) is becoming a prime segment due to forecasted population growth. Travel size packs are an increasing market, especially with teens and younger consumers on the move. Increase in internet marketing and shopping equates to online distribution opportunities.

Threats Many high performing brands already exist in the skin care category & have high brand loyalty. Cosmetic brands have a short product shelf life. The celebrity endorsing the product may overshadow the larger brand.Retailing in rural India may lessen product prestige. Brand loyalty in cosmetics among the segment 13-20 is lacking, because many teens buy cosmetics based on emotional impulses.The skin care market is saturated due to higher launch rates and fragmented distribution.

Brand PromiseBrand Promise

• 'The brand promise is based on five key factors: value for money, quality, reliability, innovation and an indefinable sense of fun.

• Make a PROMISE• It's harder work keeping promises than making them, but there

is no secret formula. Stick to it• Once you stop delivering on its unique brand promise it will stop

growing.• Have a strong 'moral compass', which will be compelling today &

in the future. Let it grow so strong that the brand becomes a ‘venture capitalist' investing its unique value system, trademarks, brand management expertise and funds in compatible businesses.

• The vision can turn the brand into a thriving empire through strong leadership and by sticking to its principles.

• However, while the guiding principles need to remain constant, delivery & communication needs to adapt.

• Who are we? What’s our personality, our values? What has made us who we are today? What do we do or need to do to deliver?

• Why do we do it? What’s our cause, purpose, mission? What do you like about coming to this place?
