local and global market. Also, the both brands have competitive advantages. Those are;

Nature's Beauty Creation Ltd is a famous herbal cosmetic company in Sri Lanka, where the
organization achieved the national green award due to using a own local resources.
The resource of the cream is collected from herbal plants which products standard under the

5. Task – 1
In this task, the Brand Equity model was identified by Mr. David Aaker which includes five
key of brand equity components those are brand loyalty, brand awareness, perceived quality,
brand associations and other proprietary assets
I have selected the Forever brand for measuring the brand equity. The Forever brand‟s equity
frequently increases, Because of brand loyalty increases, brand awareness increases,
perceived quality increases and brand association slowly increase and other proprietary assets
slowly increase. The measured brand equity is below.
5.1 Brand loyalty
The brand loyalty is the biggest success for Forever brand due to continuously purchase by
consumers. The following statements are;
Forever brand attracts the potential consumers. Also, the existing consumers boost the
brand among the potential consumers.
Product quality ensures by the consuming brand loyalty.
The loyal consumers very familiars with this brand who focus on brand quality instead of
price.
Loyal customers do not quickly switch competitive brand when deciding the skimming
price.
High competitive advantage
Strong revenue estimate by local distribution channels.
Continuously repeated purchase by consumers
Reducing marketing costs of the organization.
5.2 Brand awareness
The brand awareness increases, according to following analysis.
By participating in public awareness programs like carnival programs and Thaladha
Perahara
Sponsor activities in Sirasa super start and super model programs.
Most likes and follows in social media and more view in YouTube and company
websites.

When consumers consider about their beauty, the forever brand comes to their mind
repeatedly.
The consumers are very familiar and also well-known the product about the product
range.
5.3 Perceived quality
The customer of Forever brands increases the perceived quality by following reasons.
Fairness cream produced by 100% of natural ingredients.
Non side effect products due to natural ingredients.
The quality of product has awarded ISO 9001:2008 certification
Innovative cream continuously presents to the market.
Various products range available at various channels such as food city, pharmacy
countries, groceries and fashion chain networks.
5.4 Brand association
The brand association is slowly increasing due to following reasons.
The special performance of this brand makes the consumer to natural beauty.
Most of cosmetic products are found under the Forever brand, its extension reduces new
launch cost, increase effective promotion strategy, consumers‟ benefits and easily get a
feedback from consumers.
Consumer‟s positive attitude is lower because of major competition.
Consumers believe that this brand won‟t affect their health and won‟t harmful to their
body by using Forever brand.
5.5 Other proprietary assets
The proprietary asset is less to Forever Company. Because of some reasons those are;
It has a good relationship with a channel member in the local market.

6. Task- 2
6.1 Positing strategy
I identified the most effective target consumers who are youth (mostly female) for the
fairness cream. Also, children and elders are less appropriate with baby cream and others
cream. So, we would like to target most effective target consumer of female youth.
The consumers are rational in their fairness cream purchasing. They most favor to the natural
quality of fairness cream. Also, they believe natural products are high quality which makes
natural changes and protect their skin in nowadays and futures and, they believe, the changes
ensured from artificial cream, but the consumer protection is not sure in the future.
So, I recommend to increase the natural quality of fairness cream ingredients. At present,
both organizations should ensure their quality of product standards via the ISO, SLS. Then,
the effective advertisement campaign should promote the natural quality of fairness cream to
their target consumers of youth. I prefer to advertise this cream motivated the female
customers by naming “natural beauty” to this cream product.
6.2 Perceptual map
Nature‟s secret brand positions in moderate price and good quality instead Forever brand.
(The 50ml Skin whitening cream is sales Rs. 185 and Skin Cream (100ml) sales at Rs. 325).
Forever positions high price and high quality (30g night cream sales Rs. 2000 and face and
60g body cream sales Rs.1200). The high price of brand targets some of some specific
consumers. Also, most of consumers favor to buy the Forever brand when deciding high
price.

6.3 Push and Pull Profile
The current push, pull and profile promotion strategy is successful to both organizations. The
fairness cream has heavy competition in the local market.
6.3.1 Pull strategy
Pull promotional strategy boosts the consumes to request to purchase the product.
6.3.1.1 TV Advertising
TV advertisement can target lager consumers. That is a great opportunity in the face cream by
attracting the emotional feeling and multi-sensory appeal. But, the cost is high compared with
the other promotional campaign.
6.3.1.2 Discount to direct consumers

direct feedback and response to customers.

volumes.

Both organizations can easily sales their products to sellers through the company websites
which is lower cost and lager market covers.
6.3.2.3 Sponsorship

models of the carnival program was conducted by Forever in 2013.

Progress report
6.4 Ethics, Morals and Social responsibility
6.4.1 Ethics
Both organizations follow the ethical in business activity. But, the high competition
encourages to the unethical.
Because, advertisement is the most effective promotional campaign for fairness cream
product among existing customers and potential customers. Most of the time, the
Advertisements don‟t follow 100% ethical. The using fairness creams make very slow
changes. But, the false advertisement shows the changes comes in the four weeks.
The product advertisement and packaging describe which is acceptable for all types of skin.
But, most of the time the creams do not match with all the skin.
The cream ingredients describes 100% herbal pant, but it‟s not true. Without chemical, the
product makes real changes.
10
6.4.2 Morals
The advertisement increase the beauty of all the costumes, but the advertisement shows the
black color is bad or not appropriate for man and woman. The organization selected the light
skin color employees. So, someone thinks black is not acceptable in social. For example, one
girl after using the Fair & Lovely cream, she becomes more attractive and also got a good
job. The attraction is a one of extra qualification in a job interview. .
6.4.3 Social responsibility
Both organizations participate in Social responsibility. The Forever skin Natural Pvt Ltd
provides the free workshop (Sanda Ru waruna & "Sadaliya Siri) to Bandarawela and Galle
areas. It arranged a free Ayuruvedha Expo Exhibition programmer in 2010, a free trade

7. Task – 3
7.1 Factors affecting pricing
Fairness cream is a shopping good that purchase decision based on the market research. The
price is an important factor of fairness cream‟s purchase decision. So many factors affect that
price. Those are;
7.1.1 Demand & Supply
The demand decides the prices of fairness cream. The high demand increases the price of
products, but lower demand reduces the price of fares cream.
7.1.2 Competition
In Sri Lanka, there is extensive competition among local and foreign brand. The high
competition reduces the price of fairness cream due to reach more consumers. Instead, lower
competition increases the product‟s price.
7.1.3 Consumer perception
The some consumers believe, the high price creams are high quality due to including specific
ingredients. The good perception increase the price fairness cream. For example, Forever
brand.
7.1.4 Cost
The production cost decides the price of goods, because, every organization needs profit
margin for their cost of production. The both organizations face higher cost via the own
research center and own plant garden.
7.1.5 Comply with environment
The organization awarded for product quality which is a good brand image among
consumers, it increases the price due to good reputation enhance the purchase. Example the
nature‟s secrete has an ISO 9001, 140001, and European standard GNP certificate.
7.1.1 Other factors
Other factors decide the price. Those are inflation, interest rate and economic fluctuations.
12
7.2 Product life Cycle
Development Introduction Growth Maturity Decline
The Product life cycles analyzed according to price history. Nature‟s secret is still in the
growth stage. Also, it decides the penetration price.
The Forever is still in introducing stage. The Forever brand decides market skimming pricing
strategy. The product price is high. But, lowest price brands are available. But, the famous
fairness creams‟s price is high.
7.3 Price elasticity of demand
The fairness cream is price elasticity of the demand. the high percentage of demand decides
by the small percentage of the price. For example, if the price increases in low percentage,
the demand will reduce larger volume of percentage.
7.3.1 Nature Secret’s
For example, assume the in cream price Rs. 1850 to Rs. 1950, resulting the in demand,
reduce from 10 quantities to 09 quantities.
Price Quantity
1850 10
1950 09
Price elasticity of demand = % change in Quantity / % change in Price
Nature‟s secrets
Forever
13
Price elasticity of demand = -01 /10 * 100% / 100 / 1850* 100%
Price elasticity of demand = -10% / 5.40
Price elasticity of demand = -1.85
The increase of Rs. 100 reduces one quantity demand of Nature Secret. The price set
correctly. Because, there most of middle income consumers favor to fairness cream in the
moderate price. When the organizations increase the high price, the costumes will reduce the
purchase volume.
7.3.2 Forever
For example, assume the in face cream price Rs. 12,000 to Rs. 14,000, resulting the in
demand, reduce from 10 quantities to 09 quantities.
Price Quantity
12,000 10
12,500 09
Price elasticity of demand = % change in Quantity / % change in Price
Price elasticity of demand = - 1 / 10* 100% / 500 /12,000 * 100%
Price elasticity of demand = -10% / 4.16%
Price elasticity of demand = -2.40
The increasing Rs. 500 reduce 01 quantity demand of Forever fairness cream. The price set
correctly, because if the organization increases the price of Forever cream, the consumers
will reduce volume of purchase.

8. Task – 4
8.1 Corporate mission
8.1.1 Nature’s Secrets
“NBC has today branched out into training in a bid to both fulfil a duty of social
responsibility and make the dreams come true of aspirants in the beauty culture industry”.
The organization clearly demonstrates the achieving beauty culture is wider task. The
employee may feel difficulty in understanding the cultures. The mission will communicate
with the sales team to provide the quality of service. However, cultures of the sales people

8.1.2 Forever
“The best results oriented cosmetics producer in Sri Lanka”
It clearly demonstrates potential strategy development to gain the result of customer
satisfaction where it shows whole, the direction where the organization in the future will.
Therefore, it passed too many levels in the organization toward delivering the value to the
customer.
But, there is no clarity that what they mean by customer satisfaction and their KPI‟S are need
to be clearly defined. There is the obvious effect from the sales people because satisfied
customer can be achieved only by the satisfied sales team.
8.2 Business strategy and the sales function
Both organizations follow a different type of Generic business strategy. The Nature‟s secrets
follows Low cost strategy and Forever follow the Differentiation strategy.
15
8.2.1 Nature’s Secrete (Low cost strategy)

sales the products in lower price among other competitors, lager cost is lower by less
resources of standard, lower wages and office direct cost.
8.2.2 Forever (Differentiate strategy)
The forever brand has followed a different strategy. Because, the skimming price targets to
the specific need of market segments, consumers purchase higher price of this brand,
company performs well in several functions such as innovation, marketing, finance,

innovation.
16

9. Conclusion
This assignment report analysis the two fairness cream of Nature‟s Secrete and Forever
which have more demand in Sri Lanka, Also, both organizations are continuously innovating
the new innovative products according to the own research development center.
The organizations reduce the cost of production via the economies of scale, own research and
development center, various product ranges and own natural grades. Both companies have a
similar product range of all the all products. For example the fairness cream includes a face
cream, night cream, hair cream, body cream, baby cream and etc.
When purchasing the fairness cream, consumer mostly research about price, quality, changes
of their skin, standards and etc., but, the price is a major factor of purchasing.
The Foreever has 06 varieties of products which selects by moderate and high price. The high
price cream specifically targets some of the particular consumer who looks for the brand
loyalty and high quality of the cream. The company has an effective media campaign such a
sponsorship, price offers and billboards.
But, the Nature‟s Secrete selects the moderate price to all the fairness cream, that's available
to all the costumes. The current market promotion campaign has effectively used this brand
via billboards and social media.
19
10. Recommendation
Lots of man and female is looking for the attractive beauty according to the trustful fairness
cream. But, the skin is an unsafe result in a very long day. The effect can be a serious
problem such as skin cancer, but it will not affect suddenly. It will be in the long term for
their real skin. Some organizations set a sad the dark skin via false advertisement which
shows the dark color skin people are bad. So, someone believes, dark is not acceptable in
social. The advisement shows only the advantage and increases the emotions to purchase of
cream. So, the organization will conduct the true advertisement, express the real effect and
avoid on sad of dark skin people.
Both organizations spend much money for advertisement, free training, and a beauty fair
program. The real consumers look trustful about herbal products. The organizations have free
research center, herbal gardens and scientist. So, the organization arranges the free visit due
to increase the brand awareness of their natural products.
The consumers get awareness in fairness cream. They know that anyone cream can‟t provide
quick changes within the three or four weeks, but some false advertisement will lose some
consumers. So, when conducting the advertisement and fair program, the organization will
give truthful information to consumers.
The consumer awareness depends on the product standard such as ISO, SLS and Halal
certificate. The both organizations obtain the standard, and then express their product quality.
