The purpose of this report was to investigate a cosmetic company, which is called Stila Cosmetics, in United States of America.

The selling power in developing countries and emerging markets is relatively low. This can be argued in Jamaica’s case as the demand for cosmetics continues to grow consistently. In fact, not many companies have ventured into developing products which meet the specific needs of this market segment. In order to achieve long term profitability, new market entrants should focus on this neglected population segment. The high selling power in the developed countries leads to high competition and an overall reduction in profitability for cosmetic firms in this industry. This is based on most of the largest cosmetic companies are based in developing countries.

For over 105 years, L 'Oréal Group has been dedicated to the business of beauty. It is the global beauty leader in 130 countries. The worldwide beauty market is, to me, highly interesting to develop and analyze because of its specificity. The fact that success in this particular industry depends on different factors—such as the importance of image and communication—makes it more complex for a company to set up and implement clear guidelines. In addition, the size of an organization that operates globally, present in all distribution channels in markets that have sometimes opposite characteristics, is another incentive for analyzing the objectives, the strategy and the tactics of a company such as L’Oréal. With 28 international brands, the Group achieved in 2013 an annual turnover of € 23 billion and has 77,500 employees worldwide. L 'Oréal relies on excellence in research and innovation and on 4000 researchers to meet all beauty aspirations in the world and the Group 's objective to conquer a billion of new consumers in the coming years. Also, through its program "Sharing beauty with all" L 'Oréal is making impressive commitments on sustainable development throughout its value chain for 2020 (“STRATEGIC TRANSACTION”, n.d., para. 16).

The Japanese cosmetics market was well-matured and being the largest direct selling market in the world. These provided opportunities to MKC’s direct selling approach – party plan approach.

The massive amounts of money spent on research and development can eventually become destructive if customers stop buying original products to buy other products when the goal is to buy more. Neutrogena has been around for a decades, thus giving them the opportunity to create partnerships with clinics, hospitals, and hotels. Those partnerships give them the opportunity to reach a target market they wouldn’t have been able to reach before. Neutrogena’s biggest threat besides store brands being less expensive is being in a market that has easy barriers of entry. Glossier should see Neutrogena as a threat because of its success but Glossier has the opportunity to learn from its failures and success. Glossier currently does not have an overwhelming quantity of products, thus it making it easier for consumers. In addition, to having fewer products, Glossier doesn’t have to worry about cannibalizing its own products.

When people go to a store in order to buy food or commodities, they are faced with a problem of a wide choice of goods because nowadays there is a huge range of different producers. Moreover, all of them try to be recognized on the market by creating a significant image. As a result, companies create own brands. According to American Marketing Association (2013), a brand is “a name, term, design, symbol, or any other feature that identifies one seller's good or service as distinct from those of other sellers.” Also, the process of creating connection or association between emotional perception of the consumer and company’s product with target of creating distinction and building loyalty has known as a brand management (Hislop, 2001).
