Pricing Strategy –

Brand-Price Mapping: Average Price of same product from different brands were mapped and the gap/void in the price range was determined. Three clear price-range where one of the products (for e.g., all-natural cleanser) can be positioned were identified. Price Range: 1) Between INR XX and INR YY; 2) Between INR ZZ and INR AA; and 3) Between INR BB and INR CC.

Visual Communication Strategy –

Identification of visual elements of skincare and haircare packaging designs that influence consumers’ buying decisions. We also identified whether consumers’ perception of aesthetics elements is influenced by the mode of purchase. To understand this, we studied the visual communication parameters of all the competitors of the client and understood how these attributes can be used to create a brand identity. The parameters studied and analysed were – Colour, Shape & Size, Voice & Tone, Product Bottling & Packaging, Typography, Look, Packaging Design, etc.

Competitor Benchmarking Strategy –

We understood and benchmarked competitors through Revenues generated across product categories, their Geographical presence (Regions, Countries, Expansion Plans), Online mix (Revenues generated through Online & Offline Platforms), through Customer demographic (Age, Gender, Income Level), and Psychographic mix (Attitude, Social Behaviour/Status, Lifestyle) and through their Product specific information (Price, Unique Technology, Any Proprietary Ingredient present).
