Brand Positioning Statement
A complete range of trendy and stylish products for skin and beauty care
Tagline
On Top of the World
STEPS TAKEN TO CHANGE POSITIONING
• Title sponsor of Lakme Fashion Week (LFW)
• Lakmé Salon launched a first-of-its-kind Lakmé Studio in Delhi which offers ultra-premium beauty services.
Lakme Studio has tied up with Nail Spa that uses the latest nail technology from the US to bring a bouquet
of services like nail extensions and nail art.
• Brand Ambassadors – Kareena Kapoor and now Shraddha Kapoor
• Location selection
• Lakme launched the ‘Absolute’ range of products that are available only in modern trade and selected A
class cosmetic shops.
DIFFERENTIATION
Education
• Lakme’s strategy is not to use mass media advertising to promote Lakme. Instead, they have opted for
the education route to create awareness.
Training
• Lakme has teamed up with Aptech, an education and training company based in Mumbai to provide
beauty training courses to Indians.
Promotions
• Lakme does continuous promotions up setting up kiosks in malls, departmental stores and super markets
Reach
• With a retail reach of 40,000 stores and a network of 240 salons spread across 50+ cities and towns,
Lakme is one of the most widely available brands.
RESULTS
• The Fashion Week, 240 Lakme Beauty Salons and now the recently-launched Lakme Studio, are all part
of those efforts by Lakme to become a more premium brand.
• According to a survey conducted by Cashkaro in 2016, Lakmé, L’Oréal, Nivea, Gillette and Maybelline are
among the most preferred cosmetics and personal care brands
SWOT ANALYSIS
Strengths Weaknesses
1. High Brand Awareness.
2. Product Line: Variety
(3 Ranges: Classics, 9 to 5, Absolute)
3. Extensive Distribution Network of the parent company
(HLL)
4. Strong parent brand – Financially stable, well-known.
5. Lakme Beauty Salons all over India. Increases brand
visibility and customer engagement with the brand.
1. Limited presence in Premium market. Lakme has a good
presence and is a leader in Value for Money segment. In
Premium segment, Revlon is the market leader.
2. Quality of Lakme Salons: In 2015, it was found that the
quality of Lakme salons is not good enough which results
in negative word of mouth.
3. Some products are well differentiated while others, in its
vast portfolio of products are not ignored due to poor
differentiation.
Opportunities Threats
1. Growing premium segment. As of 2015, premium cosmetic
segment is growing at 30%.
2. Lakme beauty training academy can work as opportunity
to make an impact in the cosmetic market.
1. Increasing presence of International brand and their entry
in India
2. Intense competition from local and national players
3. Counterfeit products
4. Increasing allergy problems.
Social Media Strategy
Audience Analysis of LakmĂŠ
Owing to the brand building exercise by LakmĂŠ, the sentiments expressed by people, both male and female, is either
positive or neutral. There is almost no negative emotion flowing for the brand, but what is surprising is the number of
male followers of the brand. As is evident in the following image, slightly over 40% of social media fans of the
cosmetic brand comprises of male.
Source: Lakme Inside Survey
The gender distribution of Lakmé’s fans could be a bit surprising, but not so its age distribution. The closer a person is to
his/her prime the likelier is his/her chance of following the brand on social media- as you can see people between 21-30
make the largest chunk of its social media followers.
Overall Strategy LakmĂŠ
Looking gorgeous and feeling beautiful seem to be the mantra that LakmĂŠ follows on social media. The content it shares
and the design of it talks not only about its products, fashion shows, and contests, but also about the little steps a woman
(or a girl) can take to look gorgeous and be the object of much-coveted desire, as the brand sees it to be the driving
agenda of all women, or at least its fans. We need to see in the following sections, what form this strategy takes when it
comes to individual channels like Facebook, Twitter, and the like.
When sharing tips the brand does add a call to
action asking its followers to take a particular
action. For example, in the following image, the
brand has asked its fans and followers to “like”
the post only if they are going to use the
shared tips. 233 likes, 17 shares, and 8
comments are the testimony to how seriously
fans take the tips shared by the brand.
LakmĂŠ on Facebook
With almost 19.25 lakhs Facebook fans, of which a little over 39,000 actively engages in
discussion, LakmĂŠ has a pretty strong Facebook presence. The brand has used a nice mix
of image and video updates from its events, make up tips, and contest, which has helped
it maximize its reach among Facebook Users.
THANK YOU

  • 17. Strengths Weaknesses 1. High Brand Awareness. 2. Product Line: Variety (3 Ranges: Classics, 9 to 5, Absolute) 3. Extensive Distribution Network of the parent company (HLL) 4. Strong parent brand – Financially stable, well-known. 5. Lakme Beauty Salons all over India. Increases brand visibility and customer engagement with the brand. 1. Limited presence in Premium market. Lakme has a good presence and is a leader in Value for Money segment. In Premium segment, Revlon is the market leader. 2. Quality of Lakme Salons: In 2015, it was found that the quality of Lakme salons is not good enough which results in negative word of mouth. 3. Some products are well differentiated while others, in its vast portfolio of products are not ignored due to poor differentiation. Opportunities Threats 1. Growing premium segment. As of 2015, premium cosmetic segment is growing at 30%. 2. Lakme beauty training academy can work as opportunity to make an impact in the cosmetic market. 1. Increasing presence of International brand and their entry in India 2. Intense competition from local and national players 3. Counterfeit products 4. Increasing allergy problems.
  • 18. Social Media Strategy Audience Analysis of LakmĂŠ Owing to the brand building exercise by LakmĂŠ, the sentiments expressed by people, both male and female, is either positive or neutral. There is almost no negative emotion flowing for the brand, but what is surprising is the number of male followers of the brand. As is evident in the following image, slightly over 40% of social media fans of the cosmetic brand comprises of male. Source: Lakme Inside Survey
  • 19. The gender distribution of Lakmé’s fans could be a bit surprising, but not so its age distribution. The closer a person is to his/her prime the likelier is his/her chance of following the brand on social media- as you can see people between 21-30 make the largest chunk of its social media followers. Overall Strategy LakmĂŠ Looking gorgeous and feeling beautiful seem to be the mantra that LakmĂŠ follows on social media. The content it shares and the design of it talks not only about its products, fashion shows, and contests, but also about the little steps a woman (or a girl) can take to look gorgeous and be the object of much-coveted desire, as the brand sees it to be the driving agenda of all women, or at least its fans. We need to see in the following sections, what form this strategy takes when it comes to individual channels like Facebook, Twitter, and the like.
  • 20. When sharing tips the brand does add a call to action asking its followers to take a particular action. For example, in the following image, the brand has asked its fans and followers to “like” the post only if they are going to use the shared tips. 233 likes, 17 shares, and 8 comments are the testimony to how seriously fans take the tips shared by the brand. LakmĂŠ on Facebook With almost 19.25 lakhs Facebook fans, of which a little over 39,000 actively engages in discussion, LakmĂŠ has a pretty strong Facebook presence. The brand has used a nice mix of image and video updates from its events, make up tips, and contest, which has helped it maximize its reach among Facebook Users.

Editor's Notes

  1. Lakme’s Absolute collection has adopted Single-segment Concentration.Single-segment concentration refers to a market concentration where one product is generated towards one market segment in a niche strategy It is completely concentrated on the premium segment of the society. The price ranges from Rs. 200 to Rs. 400 for nail enamel, which is 100% more than a normal nail enamel. Absolute’s eye products start from Rs. 450 while lip products range between Rs. 500 – 900, almost 150% more than a normal lip product. The skin products like moisturizers and foundations range from Rs. 400 to 1200 which is at least 150% more than Lakme’s classic range of products. Lakme came up with this range of products only to capture the niche market and to target women from the upper middle class and upper upscale segment of the society
  2.  it is taking on international brands such as L'Oreal, Revlon and Chambor that have traditionally targeted this segment in a big way. According to data released by the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) last month, India's female workforce in urban areas stood at 27.3 million between July 2011 and June 2012 - the period for which the analysis was done - versus 22.8 million between July 2009 and June 2010. There is a growth of 16.48 per cent, which is reasonable, given the high dropout rate of women from the labour force on account of marriage, starting a family and other pressures.
  3. Cosmetics is a Rs 2000 crore market, out of which the mid-premium is a Rs 1000 crore category where L’Oreal is the market leader. The premium is a Rs 300 crore category with players like Estee Lauder, Shisiedo and Lancome and the mass segment is a Rs 700 crore market. (Business standard)
  4. Lakme has managed to engage its primary target audience: girls and women, through various activities that seem to catch their fancy. It is surprising and pleasant to see that the brand has as many male fans and followers as their female counterparts, but they don’t seem to be interacting much with them. While the content shared by the brand is catchy, the tonality can be improved. A lively communication will definitely improve their engagement and help them connect better with their audience. Also, it can be observed that most of the engagement is in the form of mere likes. Lakme should think of a content plan which leads to an engagement beyond mere likes. The brand needs to be more conversational and publish updates that are share-able.
