...Case Study: L'Oreal in China Allen Cha 1a) In a short time, the young Chinese cosmetic market has become quite saturated with numerous firms. In order for Yue Sai to position its brand effectively, it has to draw upon unique strengths that others do not have. Madam Yue-Sai created Yue Sai with the aim “to create, produce and sell the very best beauty and skincare products that we can offer to Asian women and to the world…” The company started under her belief that the Chinese women had different standards for beauty and required specifically tailored cosmetic products. If Yue Sai under Cotyhad continued to build its brand under this positioning instead of focusing on distribution, the brand would be a far more prominent player in the current Chinese market due to first mover advantage. Yue Sai is currently competing in target markets and product properties that it simply cannot succeed in. Consumers that are aware of Yue Sai’s original positioning brand image are most likely in their 30-50s. Luxury cosmetic firms do not traditionally target this consumer segment. If Yue Sai repositions its brand from “cosmetics for confident, modern Chinese women” to “delicate luxury cosmetics for modern mature Chinese women”, the brand would be able to instill a distinct image in the targeted consumer’s mind relative to competition. It is the ideal positioning for a brand named after Madam Yue-Sai, who now perfectly fits the new segment. It will be able to grab a dominant share of a...

We’ll focus on the “Consumer is Boss” and understand how to influence them at the “First Moment of Truth” when the shopper makes a purchase decision and at the “Second Moment of Truth” when the brand is actually used and the consumer decides if it delivered against the brand promise. The course will include a team project to develop collaboration skills but also to gain deep insights into a specific target group and product. Class participation and discussion will be an important factor in class success. Course Objectives: Students will gain insights into: 1) the behaviors of the world’s consumers; 2) how those differences come about due to differing national, ethnic, cultural, and demographic influences; 3) how certain companies have succeeded and failed at addressing those differences; and 4) how to develop business and marketing strategies and plans to successfully address those differences.
