Natural Beauty: An Overview
Imagine adding formaldehyde, phthalates, and lead into a daily personal care routine. While few people
would, nearly every consumer that purchases department or drug store makeup and skincare
inadvertently adds these hazardous chemicals to her body. Natural Beauty, LLC (also referred to as “the
Company”) is a start-up ecommerce retailer that will sell a complete line of nontoxic, environmentally
friendly, and stylish cosmetics, skincare, and personal care products. Owned and operated by a noted
cosmologist, the Company will combine the best in proprietary ingredients and design to create a wide
array of high-end green products at an affordable price. Additionally, Natural Beauty will retail existing
brands of all-organic cosmetics and beauty products. The Company believes that all consumers should
have the right to purchase safe products that enhance her appearance and sense of wellbeing. Upon
receipt of funding, Natural Beauty will launch an easy-to-navigate ecommerce portal.
The overall market for green and sustainable products in the U.S. is estimated as high as $230 billion
annually, and its meteoric rise into mainstream culture has shown no sign of letting up. The eco-
business organization LOHAS (Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability) breaks the market into smaller
segments, attributing the Ecological Lifestyles market with $83.8 billion, Personal Development with
$27.3 billion, and Sustainable Economy with $6.5 billion. Other segments include Healthy Lifestyles
and Alternative Healthcare. Natural Beauty will primarily target customers are women in their 20s and
older, although the entire U.S. adult population remains among the Company’s eventual customer base.
An estimate of the current market by LOHAS places 63 million adults (30% of the U.S. population)
among those focused on health and fitness, the environment, personal development, sustainable living,
and social justice. Natural Beauty faces competition in this market from a host of online retailers and
brick and mortar establishments that sell green products. Its most direct competition – online retailers –
have yet to offer one destination for multiple brands of organic cosmetics at affordable prices.
Natural Beauty has developed a fully inclusive marketing campaign that will strategically reach its
intended customer base. The Company will create a powerful Internet presence using search engine
optimization, social networking, and newsletter e-mail blasts. Additionally, Natural Beauty’s
management team has connections to various media outlets that will help it create awareness of not only
the ecommerce portal, but also the green living cause – a cause that is increasingly embraced
nationwide. Further, as customers see the Company’s top quality product offerings and its distribution
of reliable and highly educational information, they will tell their friends and family members.
Ultimately, this will allow Natural Beauty to increase its service offerings and expand its marketing
avenues to reach an even greater target customer base.
Edie B. Smith will own and operate Natural Beauty. Currently, Ms. Smith owns and oversees day-to-
day operations at the Green Gal Beauty School and Salon in Manhattan, New York. The Green Gal
Beauty School and Salon is at the forefront of teaching innovative approaches to eco-friendly
cosmetology techniques. An avid beauty activist, Ms. Smith has appeared as health and wellness
contributor on The Today Show, Good Day New York, and Good Morning America. In addition to
television appearances, Ms. Smith has appeared on several radio shows and penned columns for more
than 15 magazines. Ms. Smith received her Bachelor of Science degree in biology from New York
University before becoming licensed cosmetologist.
To achieve the Company’s objectives, Natural Beauty is seeking $1.5 million in total funding through
outside investment.

The Personal Care Market
The personal care products industry is composed of more than 20,000 companies with combined annual
revenues of $50.5 billion, with major companies, such as Proctor & Game, L’Oreal, and Estee Lauder
dominating the industry, according to market research firm IBISWorld. The industry “includes
companies engaged primarily in blending, compounding, and packaging toilet preparations. Products
produced include makeup, shampoo, creams and lotions, skincare products sunscreen, mouthwash, and
shaving products.” The following table shows the breakdown of the products in the industry.

Revenue Growth Rate
Awareness of the health issues related to cosmetics is growing; however, and there is an increasing
demand for organic and natural goods. In July 2009, the co-founder of Campaign for Safe Cosmetics,
Stacy Malkan, began a series of speaking events in support of her new book, Not Just a Pretty Face: The
Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry, raising awareness of the harmful chemicals in makeup and other
personal care products. Ms. Malkan claims, “the average person slathers on about 12 products a day
containing 80 chemicals” and that “many are linked to cancer, hormone disruption, learning disabilities
and other health problems.”2
The LOHAS, or the Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability, is a group that tracks and facilitates healthy
and eco-friendly products and businesses. The organization estimates that, conservatively, the market
for these products is at least $208 billion in the U.S. alone. This market is further broken down into the
following sub-categories:3
• Sustainable Economy: $6.5 billion
o Green building and industrial goods
o Renewable energy
o Resource-efficient products
o Socially responsible investing
o Alternative transportation
o Environmental management
• Healthy Lifestyles: $50 billion
o Natural, organics; nutritional products
o Food and beverage
o Dietary supplements
o Personal care
• Ecological Lifestyles: $83.8 billion
o Ecological home and office products
o Organic / recycled fiber products

o Spiritual products and services
An article in the Washington Post places the “sustainable lifestyle” market at closer to $230 billion.4
This fast-growing segment of the U.S. economy has moved from a fringe ideal to one that corporate
America has grabbed a hold of and run with. One example is Steve Case, the founder of American
Online, who four years ago started Revolution LLC to find and create sustainable products that can
succeed in the mainstream. According to Case, for products to reach the mainstream they must be easy
to obtain and fit in with mainstream lifestyles. “People are intrigued with these ideas,” he says in the
Post article. “They’re willing to give it a shot if given a safe, comfortable way to do that and not be
targeted by the yoga police.”5
Medication and cosmetics currently make up 6.5% of the $61 billion e-commerce industry. With more
than 74% of American adults online, rapid e-commerce growth in the retail sector is a hallmark of the
online shopping industry. In 2010, the e-commerce industry is expected to produce a revenue of $93
billion. The following chart from market research group IBISWorld shows the expected revenue
outlook over the next five years:6
Revenue (constant prices)
Revenue $ Million Growth %
2011 104,495.5 11.4
2012 116,930.4 11.9

2015 154,404.3 4.4
2016 163,668.5 6.0
Target Market
Natural Beauty will target women interested in more environmentally friendly cosmetics. This group
also tends to use all-natural and organic products for their own personal health, avoiding chemical-laden
products for fear of unknown long-term detriments.

The organic consumer is a market segment that is rapidly growing. Recent data shows that a full quarter
of American shoppers now by organic products once a week, as opposed to 17% in 2000.7
The
Company believes that its clients will have very similar characteristics to that of a LOHAS customer.
LOHAS consumers are focused on health and fitness, the environment, personal development,
sustainable living, and social justice. Estimates suggest that 30% of adults, or 63 million people, are
LOHAS consumers,8
also defined as Cultural Creatives – people that are market drivers for social,
environmental, and economic change in the U.S.9
Market Needs
As overall consumer demand for natural and eco-friendly products increases, the demand for easy-to-
find cosmetics that fall under this category also increases. Today’s consumers are hyperaware of the
detrimental effects of non-sustainable industry on her body, as well as the toxicity of many store-bought
products. As a business that sells organic and non-toxic products, the Company will offer an alternative
to mass-produced, chemical-heavy products that have dominated the beauty care industry for years. Not
only are these products beneficial to the environment, but the can lead to a healthier life for women and
children. Natural Beauty will present customers with a non-threatening and attractive interface to
purchase these items.

The Company will operate within the Toilet Preparations industry (Standard Industrial Classification
2844). The table below shows Dun & Bradstreet data regarding the performance of the businesses in

Competitive Comparison
While the online world is also full of websites that tout eco-friendly products and advice, many lack a
sophisticated appeal and often can be preachy – something that may alienate customers. Natural Beauty
is aware of the need to evaluate competitors. The Company will experience direct competition from
online retailers, including NeptuneBeauty.com and GlamGranola.com, which are listed below with a

 www.NeptuneBeauty.com: This site has a wide breadth of product offerings, but the website
has poor design and is difficult to navigate. It also does not appeal to high-end consumers.
 www.GlamGranola.com: This established e-commerce site is complemented by a retail store
in Florida, although it mostly has a regional presence.

Marketing Summary
The Company recognizes the importance of promoting environmentally aware lifestyles. Natural
Beauty.com will underscore the variety of its line and the benefits its products provide, including . Thus,
as Natural Beauty increases awareness and establishes a loyal online user base, satisfied users will fuel
positive word of mouth referrals. This has the potential to significantly increase revenue while
simultaneously bolstering Natural Beauty’s brand.
To enhance the awareness of Natural Beauty’s product offerings, the Company has established affiliate
marketing programs. In addition, the Company’s founder, Edie B. Smith, will launch a media speaking
tour through the assistance of the public relations firm, MediaBlitzer. Ms. Smith will act a contributing guest
commentator on highly rated network affiliate television stations garnering exposure for Natural Beauty. All of
this contributes to the website’s publicity, and therefore to extending the Company’s products and
services to a wider audience. The Company’s marketing strategy can be understood by looking at the
implementation of the “Four Ps” of marketing – product, price, promotion, and place:

opportunities:

• Offers affordably priced products that are sensitive
to consumers’ new spending habits
• Provides a wide selection to chose from
• Uses a stylish and highly functional website

• Potential to partner with other businesses operating
in the green and all-natural sectors.
• The Company will face competition from other well-
businesses that offer similar products.
• New entrants into the market may be quickly able to
build an effective e-commerce site.
Marketing Strategy
The Company’s initial marketing strategy will be designed to reach early adopters, who tend to embrace
new lifestyle changes as well as innovative products quickly. Natural Beauty’s marketing plan for
driving site traffic and revenue will also evolve as the Company becomes established in the marketplace
and gains more customers. In order to best understand this progression, the Company’s marketing
strategy has been broken into three stages: Early Adoption, Growth, and Sustained Operations.
Early Adoption
Current customers are generally early adopters who embrace technology, regularly shop online, and seek
out lifestyle improvements. This segment will continue to serve as the Company’s core customer group
through Natural Beauty’s infancy, and the Company will continue to reach this segment using the
strategies outlined below.
• The Company will utilize a strong direct marketing tactic, which will include third party e-mail
blasts, search engine advertising, and web advertisements. The Company hopes for this
combination of direct sales tactics to yield a high return of new customers.
• Search engine optimization (SEO) will be regulated so that the Company spends it advertising
dollars effectively; key days of the week and times of day will be established after a two-week
traffic monitoring period, and Natural Beauty will optimize its site for those days and times when
this segment is most likely to browse.
©2000-2010
• Natural Beauty will attend trade shows throughout the U.S. in order to build contacts, increase
awareness, and build up its newsletter subscriber list.
Growth
This phase is characterized by accelerated growth in the number of customers and an expanded number
of products and services. New customers, who tend to follow established trends, will be reached in the
following ways:
• Established industry and media connections will be leveraged.
• The Company expects to see significant growth as publicity ensues through radio, print, and
television.
• SEO will expand to reach wider audiences, while still maintaining an awareness of optimal times
and days for prime search placement.
• Natural Beauty will utilize phone consultations, which have produced larger sales and attracted
high-end clientele.
Sustained Operations
This is the last stage of the Company’s marketing plan and will be reached when all initial operating
goals have been surpassed. Natural Beauty will use the following marketing avenues to continue its
expansion:
• Natural Beauty will aggressively pursue SEO for key words associated with the Company’s
products, services, and general philosophy. The Company recognizes that constant site content
updates (in the form of a blog or newsletter) facilitate this, and that appearing in the top ten sites
in Google, Yahoo!, and Live.com searches is extremely necessary for obtaining and sustaining
customers. This is further outlined in 4.2.1: Internet Strategy
• Natural Beauty will continue to rely on word of mouth referrals to bring new customers to the
site. This is a form of advertising that is both free and highly effective. The Company will
encourage customers to tell a friend about a product and wish-lists on the site, which will not
only disseminate the Natural Beauty brand, but will also, foster customer loyalty.
Internet Strategy
The Company will operate with a fully inclusive and robust Internet strategy. Natural Beauty uses the
following online channels:
• Website: The core of the Company’s marketing strategy is fueled from its website
(www.naturalbeauty.com). The site is not only the Company’s primary source of revenue
generation, but also serves as a source for individuals to learn and be informed on green and
environmental topics.
• Sponsored listing: Natural Beauty will use cost-per-click (CPC) Internet advertising with
Google AdWords and Yahoo!.
©2000-2010
• Newsletters and e-mail blasts: The Company’s customers can opt to receive Natural Beauty’s
newsletter, which advertises Company news and updates, as well as important environmental and
green information. The e-mail newsletter will also be sent out to leads generated from strategic
industry partnerships and demographic information. This will reinforce brand building among
the Company’s target market and will hopefully generate new sales.
In addition to these successful tactics, the Company is interested in establishing a blog presence on its
website. This blog will help inform customers about changing style trends and research that affect the
“green” lifestyle. Though the Company’s founder will contribute to the blog, Natural Beauty hopes for
this to serve as a forum where customers can ask questions to professionals, as well as share their own
discoveries, opinions, and queries.
©2000-2010
Management Team
Edie Smith, Chief Executive Officer
Edie B. Smith will own and operate Natural Beauty. Since the earliest days of the green revolution, Ms.
Smith has been active in promoting the use of environmentally friendly products and adopting lifestyle
changes. In 2003, Ms. Smith founded the Green Gal Beauty School and Salon, which she currently
owns and operates. Green Gal Beauty School and Salon provides complete cosmetology education to 60
students a year, as well as salon services to residents of Manhattan. The Green Gal Beauty School and
Salon is best known for its use of eco-friendly products and services, for which it gained accolades in

Good Morning America. Ms. Smith has also penned columns for more than 15 magazines on topics
ranging from nutrition, chemical-free living, and beauty trends. Ms. Smith received her Bachelor of
Science degree in biology from New York University before becoming licensed cosmetologist.
Management Gaps
As Natural Beauty expands, the Company will hire several significant positions to ensure its continued
success. The current CEO will seek to fill the following jobs, in addition to positions for general
staffing and support:
Technical Manager
The technical manager will be responsible for the management and supervision of the organization’s
research and development projects and the maintenance of Company’s retail site, ensuring maximum
usability and functionality. This position will cooperate with the CEO in managing the organization and
in achieving the organization’s vision but will focus primarily on managing the technological operations
of the organization.
Marketing
This position will represent the organization by providing marketing services, including market research,
strategic market planning, public relations, advertising, promotions, and so on. The Company’s in-
house marketing department will focus on core concepts of promoting healthier living, and will have the
ability to leverage the Company’s already established media presence.

The following investor proposition uses a number of variables to determine a hypothetical share of the
Company in exchange for investment. The following scenario is up for negotiation and is dependent on
operating and valuation assumptions. The investor share is based on an investor-required rate of return
of 40% per year, and a Year 5 Company valuation at 6 times EBITDA. It should be noted that the rate
of return is dependent on subjective measurements of risk and reward, and valuations are subject to
market conditions.

The following depictions of the Company’s projected cash flow show that the Company expects to
maintain sufficient cash balances over the five years of this plan. The “pro forma cash flow” table
differs from the “pro forma profit and loss” (P&L) table. Pro forma cash flow is intended to represent
the actual flow of cash in and out of the Company. In comparison, the revenue and expense projections
on the P&L table include “non-cash” items and exclude funding and investment illustrations.
