Her and her husband were the company at this time , only giving out a handful of products . In need of a facility to create these products the Lauders converted a Manhattan restaraunt into a factory. She would sell during the day and then cook up all her creams and oils at night. Estee landed her first department store order for her cosmetics. Saks Fifth Avenue bought $800 worth of cosmetics from Estee, which sold out in two days .Another good strategy Estee used was when someone bought one of her products you would get a free gift along with the purchase. The couple opened their first store in New York in 1944. Estees dedication to get her cosmetics in department stored payed off in the 1950s. Her line became a regular feature in stores such as :I. Magnin, Marshall Feild's, Nieman-Marcus and Bonwit Teller. The Lauders invested their entire $50,000 advertising budget in samples to be offered through direct mail, charity giveaways and as gifts with purchases. (Lauder's "free gift with purchase" technique would become a company trademark and later, a standard industry practice.) The result was thousands of new customers. Lauder continued to broaden her product line, introducing (among other things) male toiletries under the Aramis brand name and the first line of fashion-oriented, allergy-tested cosmetics, Clinique. In addition, Lauder set out to conquer the rest of the world, convincing Harrod's of London and Paris' Galleries Lafayette to carry her products. By the mid-1970s, Lauder's products were on the market in more than 70 countries

MAC Cosmetics is originally a Canadian company that spread its routes successfully to many countries all over the world promoting equality,” All ages, all races, all sexes, all MAC,” this is the motto of one of the largest growing luxury cosmetics brands in the world. For MAC artists and MAC customers this motto is followed religiously, it is truly what drives this company which pushes for equality and strives to let no one feel excluded. MAC was started in 1984 by, Frank Tosken a makeup artist and photographer and Frank Angelo in Toronto. They found cosmetic products which were readily available to makeup artists and regular customers did not perform well under the penetrating environment of studio lights, and had to be constantly touched up. They started out by generating cosmetic formulas which included intense and warm colors that met their specific needs. By using them backstage on models and performers, news traveled fast about these efficient products and the demand began to increase, through just the professionals in the makeup industry. Then by word of mouth news spread to the broad population and it was made available to the public. In 1994 the company was acquired by the Estee Lauder who owns many of the world 's favorite cosmetic brands until today.

Being the largest cosmetics market in the world, the United States has proven its ability in keeping an industry alive for decades. Cosmetics and beauty products play one of the most important roles in western society. They are products that are used on a daily basis and hold much meaning to the regimens of individuals everywhere. As stated earlier, the term cosmetics is widely used to include beauty, fragrance, and cleanliness products such as toothpaste and shampoo. It is often said that the average American is exposed to approximately 200 advertisements on a daily basis. That is simply the average America; now I want you to think of Elizabeth Gains, the fictional character introduced to you earlier. Elizabeth moved to New York City this past summer from a small suburban area in Connecticut. While her job description indicates that she is constantly in contact with advertising and publicity, it is no help that she lives in the largest city in all of the United States of America. Liz, as her friends call her, is at an age that the beauty and cosmetics industry mainly target.

This is a very interesting case. Almost every small business must face the fact that they are in competition with very large corporations that have been around for years. Proctor & Gamble, though, is one of the most successful businesses in the world and sell almost everything there is in the market today. I do believe that Amilya Antonetti can be able to market herself and make a name for her, even in the market she is trying to get into. SoapWorks will be successful and sell in the market if Amilya is able to differentiate her product from the others on the market, making her detergent look better, cleaner, and more efficient for the type of use it is intended for.
