Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated.

But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it.

::: 1.0 History of Cosmetics: 20th
century in Modern developments in technology, such as
the high shear mixer has facilitated the production of cosmetics which are more natural looking
& have greater staying power in wear than their predecessors. Cosmetic deodorant was invented
in 1888, by an unknown inventor from Philadelphia and was trademarked under the name of
MUM (deodorant).
21st
century Beauty products are now widely available from dedicated internet only retailers,
who have more recently been joined online by established outlets, including the major
department stores & traditional bricks & mortal beauty retailers like most industries, cosmetics
companies resist regulation by government agencies like the FDA, & have lobbied against this
throughout the years. The FDA does not have to approve or review the cosmetics, or what goes
in them before they are sold to the consumers. FDA only regulates against the colours that can be
use din the cosmetics & hair dyes. The cosmetic companies do not have to report any injury from
the product; they also only have voluntary recalls on product. Cosmetics brands are releasing
cosmetics products especially tailored for men, men are also using such products more
commonly. There is some controversy over this, however, as many feel that men who wear make
up are neglecting traditional gender roles & do not view men wearing cosmetics in a positive
light others, however, view this as a sign of ongoing gender equality& feel that men also have
rights to enhance their facial features with cosmetics if women could.
Cosmetics in 1970s were divided into a “Natural look” for day & a more sexualised image
for evening.
In Asia, skin whitening continued to represent the ideal of beauty, as it does to this day.
1.1 Cosmetic in Bangladesh: The Bangladesh cosmetic industry has witnessed rapid growth
over the last couple of decades. At present Bangladesh’s beauty market is worth TK 655 crore in
annual sales, which is almost three times its value in 2009.
The cosmetic sector has great potential due to the country’s rising middle class population and
increasing health and beauty consciousness among local consumer (People).
Herbal cosmetics from Bangladesh have a great demand in the overseas market and many
cosmetic products that are manufactured in Bangladesh today are supplied to international
suppliers of branded cosmetic products

1.2 Literature Review: Debiprasd Mukherjee (2012) conducted a study entitled “Impact of
celebrity endorsement on Cosmetic Brand Image‟. This study shows that consumers report
higher self-brand connection for multinational cosmetic brands with images that are consistent
with the image of a celebrity that they aspire to be like, particularly in the case when the image
of the celebrity and the multinational cosmetic brand match.
Subrahamanyam& others (1982) conducted a study on “Marketing of consumer goods” in
Vishakapatnam. It was found that large number of respondents purchased cosmetic brand
products from private retail shop followed by super bazaar & consumer co-operative store and
housewife played a vital role in taking purchase decision.
Singh J.D. (1981) conducted a survey on “A study of Cosmetic Brand loyalty in India”. The
study concluded that Indian consumers have been found becoming more & more cosmetic brand
loyal. Depending upon the nature of the product, they have single or multiple brand loyalty are
quality of the product, habit of use and regular availability of the product.
Ramakrishna Rao, Rama Raju& Ram Prasad (1987) conducted a survey on “Husband-Wife
Involvement in Buying Decision Making in skin care product (Brand)”. One of the major
findings of the study is husband who are young, highly educated & belong to high income group
are relatively less dominated than their older, less educated & low income counterparts.
In cosmetic brand research prospective I think that’s the 1st
time research (survey) in Bangladesh
market and international market prospective they select more than two brands in survey
prospective. In internet evidence in our group prospective our report first time in Bangladesh and
other country research basis it’s some part are different to the other research report.
1.3 Scope and Objectives of the report: The objective of the report is to develop our
knowledge Research about how to consumer respond of cosmetic product buy situation as well
as to elaborate our thinking. Through this report, we will able to make our self at any situation
when we got the any sort of assignment or task or making any report regarding Research area. It

4.1.2 Product Quality: Quality is one of the important elements in product. Buyers expect
product to have high quality and meet the promised specification.
Each product is the result of the systematically documented quality assurance manual. The
manual ensures rigid implementation of the quality policy for the constituent customers
satisfaction ensures that customers get full value for their money, have high quality and meet the
promised specification.
4.1.3 Brand Name: A brand name is define as a name, symbol, design or a combination of them
which is intended to identify the goods and services of one seller and to differentiate them from
those of competitors. Thus, brand name is a major selling tool and one of the most important
components of the total product personality.
E.g., L’Oreal is a company and GARNIeR is a brand.
4.1.4 Services: A service is any act of the performance that one party (seller) can offer to another
party (buyer) that is essentially intangible and does not result in the ownership of anything.

::: 6.0 Product mix: Aproduct mixis a set ofallproductsand itemsand particular whichsellersput to sale.
A product mix consists of various product lines. GARNIeR cosmetic three types of product mix
have been followed.
Product width:
This refers to how many different product lines in the company carries. GARNIeR believes wide
product mix increases the different of customers her cosmetic company can target. However it
may involve a lot of work as each product line will require a strategy and management. It could
also reduce specialization as it is difficult to offer every variant of a product type if you are
selling lots of different types of product.
Product length:
The length of a product mix refers to the total numbers of items in the mix. L’Oreal analysis if there are too
many product types in a product line, they will begin to compete with each other, increase costs
unnecessarily and even confuse customers. If the product line is too short it will limit customer
choice and send customers to competitors with a greater selection of products. That’s why
L’Oreal company cosmetic brand name is different like GARNIeR, Maybelline, essie etc.
Product depth:
The depth of a product mix refers to how many variants are offered to each product in the line. GARNIeR
cosmetic uses many subgroups the product line contains. Like GARNIeR Acno Fight Fresh
wash, Sun Light Fresh wash, Pure active, Clean+ and so on subgroup product sell in GARNIeR.
::: 7.0 Product Hierarchy: The product hierarchy stretches from basic needs to particular items
that satisfy those needs. We can identify six levels of the product hierarchy.
7.1 Need Family: The core need that underlies the existence of a product family E.g. for GARNIeR

7.1.2 Product Class: A group of products within the product family recognized as having a certain
functional coherence. It is also known as “product category”. E.g. GARNIeR Hari colour, Hair

7.1.3 Product Line: A group of products within a product class that are related because they
perform a similar function, are sold to the same customer groups, are marketed through the same
outlets or channels, or fall within give price ranges. A product line may be composed of different
brands or a single family brands or individual brand that has been line extended. E.g. in
GARNIeR there are categories wise different types of product line.
7.1.4 Product Type: A group of items within a product line that share one of several possible
forms of the products.

::: 8.0 Analysis and Interpretation of GARNIeR Cosmetic “Product Quality”:
8.1 Define the problems: It is said that “rightly identified problems is the half solution of the
problem”. Problems should not be defined either too broadly or too narrowly. Avery broad or
vogue definition leads to excessive wastage of resources. Too narrow a definition leads to
inadequate data or information which leads to ineffective decision.
