...Asian Journal of Case Research 7(1) 2014 ISSN 1985-4579 pp:1-16 FUNDING PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES: THE CASE OF JASMINE BEAUTY ENTERPRISE Wan Sharinee Fitri Wan Yahaya1, A.K Siti-Nabiha2, Fathyah Hashim3 ABSTRACT Established in 2008, Jasmine Beauty Enterprise (JBE) specialises in halal health and beauty products that it markets and sells in Malaysia. However, after four years of operation, the company’s founder, Jasmine, is still under pressure to sustain the business. Much of this pressure comes from health and beauty being such a competitive and volatile market, which requires JBE, a newbie in the industry, to invest heavily in brand and product promotions. Not only does JBE need to promote its products but, as customers are not really familiar with the company, it also needs to build brand trust and image. From 2008 to 2012, the company spent RM1.2 million on marketing and promotional activities. However, sales did not increase as expected, and the lower-than-expected revenue has reduced the company’s profit margin. There is also an issue of accrued sales, as a large amount of accounts receivables are affecting cash flow in the company, which needs to be addressed. Overall, these problems are limiting the company’s cash reserves, and its ability to grow. Jasmine felt that the company was not getting value out of the promotional activities and, as a result of JBE’s costly marketing and promotional activities, the company needs to seek a bank loan. A thorough...

Similarly, the launch of the Optic White series by Colgate was no different. Optic White is widely regarded as one of Colgate’s greatest successes of the last ten years and the brand has extended into mouthwash, toothpaste and other oral care segments. The product has also received acclaim from media and analysts. The objective for the launch of this series back in 2011 was to position Optic White as a beauty product and the latest beauty must-have, away from therapeutic angles. The stylish sensation Fazura was selected as the brand ambassador for the product and just within one month saw it becoming Colgate’s leading selling product in Malaysia. Launching a new product is a critical moment as during that time period no one knows what to expect since it is being presented to the customer for the first time. To ease this situation what the current chairman Ian Cook did, was to establish strong relationships with the dental professionals which allowed them to produce the new product in a familiar and friendly environment. Brand loyalty is another reason why Optic White series was such a hit globally as since the past 75 years in Latin America and 50 years in Asia, Colgate has been the leading brand in dental care and oral hygiene.
