1.1 Company Background Company Description: Lush is a cosmetics company that produces and sells a variety of handmade bath products and toiletries, including face masks, soaps, bath bombs, bubble bars, hand & body lotions and hair treatments. In 1994, in Poole, UK. environmentally friendly natural cosmetics and fragrances Company History Lush Cosmetics Company is mostly known and recognized by the public for its use of all natural ingredients and hand made products. Lush product ingredients are mostly natural, nothing is tested on animals and packaging is avoided where possible. What sets Lush apart from competitors is the unique way products are manufactured. They hand-make the products in a factory in small batches based on orders from individual stores in order to keep their products fresh. In order to stay in touch with their fresh standard, Lush does not sell any product in their store that’s older than 4 months and most products have a total shelf life of approximately 14 months. As of 2013 Lush now has nearly 600 stores in 43 countries, with 27 different Web platforms and seven manufacturing plants. Including 80 in Britain, Japan, North America and Australia. 60 of those stores are in North America. Lush North America has plans to open 52 new company-owned shops this year and 35 a year thereafter, with roughly a quarter located in Canada. Although many of the units to date have been freestanding boutiques, the stores in malls have been phenomenally successful, compelling them to consider almost 170 new mall locations. Lush is privately owned though there are a small number of shares available but only by invitation. The growth of the company is based mainly upon partnerships and franchise holders.

2.0 Promotions Opportunity Analysis “Going green” trend Due to the worlds growing desire for fresh and natural products this will be the perfect time for Lush to re-launch themselves into the public eye. Going green and using organic products is a priority in today’s society. Lush is one of the few companies that hand-make all their products from all natural ingredients. Lush factories receive fresh produce every day, much the same way as restaurants continually receive fresh produce, and use it to manufacture products right away. Example of few fresh ingredients they use: Avocados- are full of unsaturated oil to re-hydrate and protect skin Fresh range egg yolks- provide moisture while the whites act as light astringent. Lemon- cools, cleanses, and brightens oily or acne-prone skin Seaweed- contains up to 20 times vitamins and minerals of land and plant Bringing brand awareness by emphasizing Lush’s core beliefs. They are passionate about the environment and promote campaigns that encourage environmentally friendly behavior. For example, they discontinued the use of palm oil in their products when they viewed the market to be corrupt. They focus on producing 100% vegetarian products and they do not test on animals. They use minimally packaged (widely known as the “naked” campaign, where the company focused on using post-consumer recycled paper, recyclable and biodegradable products whenever possible, if they cannot get rid of the packaging at all.) Lush also gives back to society with strong Corporate Social Responsibility campaigns. Such campaigns include Save the Sharks, Save the Seals, No Nukes, and Stop the Tar Sands. Making their products more attainable Do to the growth in demand for organic products Lush should take advantage of this by giving certain retail stores the rights to sell their products. This would be an example of exclusive distribution, and is the right step towards making their products more attainable. Their pricing strategy is at a high level, also called premium pricing. By selling their products to high-end customers it will give the perception that high prices are a sign of good quality. They place their products at a high price range to help attract status-conscious consumers. Their distribution strategy is to place stores in prime locations. Lush is very particular about their locations. They look to place themselves in posh localities, next to stores that sell high-end items. This allows segmentation of the customers and also acts as a form of advertising and a way of creating a premium image. They have a multi channel distribution strategy. They sell their products through their own chain stores, mail order and online.

2.1 Competitive Analysis Lush Cosmetics is a niche store in the beauty Market. Its competitors do not offer hand-made 100% natural products that are comparable to Lush. Its biggest competitors are, The Body Shop, Aubrey Organics and Burt’s Bees. They all distribute globally and product selection does not differ. It all comes down customer preference and affordability. The Body Shop The Body Shop is an eco-friendly beauty product store that has products for all range of demographics. They use natural ingredients from around the world even though they make it clear that they don’t use all natural products but inspired by nature. They sell products that enhance their customer’s natural beauty and help them express their personality. Distribution of products are sold globally, as well as evenly distributed stores around the US. Their wide product line allows for a large market, product prices are mid-range. This company prides itself on a very strong corporate social responsibility campaign for example, aiding the end planet. The Body Shop advertises through print ads, online and direct mail. Aubrey Organics Aubrey Organics was founded by Aubrey Hamptons in 1967. A pioneer in natural hair and skin care,
Since the many inventions of his career, Aubrey Organics has established their organization as a leader. They offer a wide variety of products that engage all demographics. Their products range from hair care, skincare, makeup, fragrances, lotions, bath and spa, baby, household, and deodorants. Products are globally distributed as well as being sold in virtually every organic grocery store in the United States. Prices are moderate and are affordable in the low-range. Aubrey Organics advertises through print ads, online and catalog. Burt’s Bees Burt’s Bees takes a more casual approach to its products. Unlike Lush, the company does not have its own retail stores; rather, it is sold in mass-market retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target, drugstores, health stores and discount department stores. The company strongly promotes sustainable business practices and eco-friendly packaging. Similar to Lush, Burt’s Bees is against animal testing and uses only natural ingredients. Burt’s Bees does not use any preservatives in its products and refuses to use items like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate which, much to the dislike of many customers, Lush still uses. Their organic products are medium to low range price. Burt’s Bees advertise through print ads and online.

2.2 Environmental Analysis New technology Companies are adopting a green process known as biocatalytic processing. This process is a major breakthrough in the greening of cosmetics manufacturing because it reduces the amount of energy needed to make cosmetics and eliminates solvents and other wastes. New competition Investment in new product launches has continued, according to the research company Mintel, which has recorded 6,999 new “all natural” and “organic” global beauty and personal care launches for 2012. Industry trends Consumers are increasingly demanding “greener” products. Today more than ever, buyers care not only about the ingredients inside their favorite products, but also about the impact manufacturing these products has on the environment. Industry research on overall health of the industry sales. Consumer demand for natural cosmetics products grew 13.9 percent in 2011 alone, according to research Kline & Company’s research found that the demand for natural ingredients in cosmetics will continue to drive growth in the industry for at least the next four years. The global market for natural personal care products is expected to maintain strong growth with a compound annual growth rate of almost 10% through 2016. The growth of truly natural products will likely out pace that of natural-inspired brands across most regions; however, natural-inspired brands will continue to dominate the global natural personal care market.

Lush communication with customers in the past Lush has no marketing department; they rely solely on word-of-mouth. They communicate with their customers via their website, catalog and even though they use social media they are not very active.

Each catalog includes fun product listings, and highlights new products and exciting things going on in the company. They feel that a good product is the best advertisement for the business. They truly believe in word-ofmouth advertising and that their products stand out on their own. The location of the shops are also a form of advertising. Lush’s stores are located in prime areas. Lush is very particular about their locations. They look to place themselves in posh localities, next to stores that sell high-end items. This helps with targeting of their customers and also acts as a way of creating a premium image. Even though they have a clear identity and innovative product they still need proper advertising, which could catapult them into the position of a leader. Lush competitors Lush competitors advertise through print ads in national and local magazines, catalogs, direct mail and via the internet.

Studies show that the age groups that use social media the most are 18-36, which are Lush’s main target market. Lush will hire a community manager to manage all social media efforts and campaigns, for $500 a month. Some social media outlets that Lush will be involved in are: Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Facebook Facebook is a great way to be able to reach customers and for them to interact with the brand. That’s why Lush will be having contests in which all the page fans can participate. Every season (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall) they will have a contest in which customers will submit ideas for what ingredients the soap for each season should be made of. Voting will also take place at Lush’s Facebook page, the ingredient creation with the most votes will be picked and created into a soap, the winner will get their winning soap for free. By doing this contest Lush is involving customers with the brand and product production in a creative way, and it also gives Lush an opportunity to learn more about them. Facebook will also be a place to share photos of new products and educational videos about the brand and products. Twitter Twitter is a great platform for Lush to reach their customers in a more personal and intimate way. Through twitter they will be able to hear what their followers want and need from them. Twitter is a great way to be connected to the community; it is a way to put a face behind the brand, as people like to speak to people. Twitter will also be used to promote new products, discount codes, contests among others. YouTube YouTube is the perfect place to post videos for various things, not only informational but also how to use and product reviews. In YouTube there is a community called “Beauty Gurus” which are woman from ages 18-30 that review beauty products on a weekly basis, some of these woman get up to 100,000 views in 5 days and are up to 20 minutes long. Lush will be sponsoring their videos once every quarter of the year, a $200 gift card will be given to them allowing them to pick the products they like and consider what their viewers will be interested in.

5.4 Search Engine Advertising Lush will pay for search engine key word advertising. Search engine advertising will be placed in Google and Bing. Key words will be purchased based on Lush’s trademarks, generic industry terms and demographics in order to put their products in front of their target market. The use of search engine advertising will directly target consumers that are already searching for natural, organic beauty products. They will be bidding on non obvious yet relevant words, which are economically more viable. Targeting many such non obvious words lowers the advertising cost, while delivering the same click volume as expensive words. Generating the right non obvious yet relevant keywords is a challenging task, that’s why Lush will pay an agency specialized in search engine advertising. The research will cost $2,000 and an additional $800 a month will be spend to place search engine advertising. Lush will place their keywords on their website, articles and other social media sites.

This program will allow Lush to gather customer’s personal information and track their purchase patterns. Each time a purchase is made with the card/code it will track all data to the data system. This will encourage repeat purchases and create a stronger loyalty with customers. Samples Samples are a great way to introduce a new product or existing products to customers. Customers will be able to go to any Lush store and get a sample of anything that can be poured or cut. Not only do customers love free things, but also a study showed that more than half of them would be back to buy a full size of what they tried. Giving samples is a win win situation, you make customers happy and promote the products at the same time. The strategy is that every person that walks into the store should at least walkout with one sample.
