One way to make the consumers aware of Shiseido is through aggressive advertising, especially during the first year. One effective advertising strategy is to place print ads in women's magazine. The company, however, must be careful in choosing the right media vehicle that would reach their target market. It must take time to select the magazines that women from the high-earning classes read, and place their ads in these magazines. Examples of these magazines are Vogue, Cosmopolitan and Style. However with the number of ads in a single magazine, Shiseido must ensure that it is differentiated from the other established brands of cosmetics, like Revlon and Loreal. To differentiate itself, it could use the scientific approach and define the benefits of Shiseido, which would be far from the other cosmetics brands that advertise beauty and glamour. This, in fact, though quite different from the usual cosmetic ads, may be appreciated by consumers who are now vigilant in their search for information. Further the company must stress their well-being approach and assert that "Shiseido creates products that make women feel beautiful inside and look beautiful outside"�, this as mentioned in the case, may be a step with the times when Americans are now emphasizing a return to basic values and a less stressful lifestyle.
