SOOT Analysts We are focus on The Body Shop’s Tea Tree Concealed, which launched in 2009.
We use the SOOT Analysis to analyses Tea Tree Congealer’s Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats. Strengths The Body Shop International Pl is a part of the L’Orealal Corporate group. L’Orealal Corporate has a lot of capital, it can support The Body Shop International ply’s finance and it can have some large scale promotional campaign without consider financial problem. Also, the L’Orealal Corporate is the largest cosmetics and beauty company in the world. It is famous, so, The Body Shop International Pl can use the L’Orealal Corporate rand name to have some promotion and it will be more effectively.
Furthermore, the Body Shop International Pl has a positive reputation and image because of their non-animal-testing and fair trading company image. It can attract some customers, who support non-animal-testing and fair trading, to buy the products. For the Tea Tree Concealed part, one of its strengths is that it is a handy portable stick. This is because customers can easily bring it goes out and leave in somewhere easily. After use the Tea Tree Concealed, it will be without over drying the skin and it is good for our skin too.
Moreover, the Tea Tree Concealed is made of organic tea tree oil, which is not only an infusion perfect to help blemished skin, but it can also attract customers, who support using organic raw material, to buy it. Weaknesses The Tea Tree Concealed only has one color tone, it is not suitable for every because different people have different skin color. It only has one color tone that it can satisfy a little part of customers but not lots of customers. Without doubt, everyone has different skin, such as dry skin, oily skin, combination skin, normal skin and sensitive skin.
The Tea Tree Concealed only has one type and it also cannot satisfy lots of people, only a little part of customers can use it. Also, as we all know, The Body Shop International Pl is founded in the UK in 1976 by Dame Anita Rowdier. It is a western company and their products might be more suitable for foreign people. Therefore, the Tea Tree Concealed may not be suitable for Asian. It cannot satisfy more people. Opportunities First of all, many existing cosmetics and skin-care products were tested on animals before they promote to the market in order to make sure the usage of them will not harm human bodies.
However, The Body Shop against animals testing, every one of the products is animal cruelty free and vegetarian, which means we do not destroy the habitat of the animals and us. As a result, this is an opportunity of us to promote our product with this special characteristic. The second one is that the product have not taken care the men’s market. The skins of men and women are not the same, so do the needs of them. If we still only focus on the women’s market, our sales would only stay in the same level, so we should not only focus on the women’s needs but also the men’s to enlarge the market.
As a exult, this becomes one of the opportunities for the company to expand the men’s market and to increase sales volume. Third, the Body Shop is supporting Community Fair Trade, for example in Kenya. Most of the products contain Community Trade ingredients. This can attract customers who are also supporting Community Fair Trade. The body shop is also defending human rights, in order to treat all people in a fair and open fashion, to respect and value their integrity. Last, we are seeking and sustaining natural materials, and using planet’s resources wisely.
These are the ways how we approach our environmental target, protect our planet. Threats The competition from competitors such as Curlicue’s natural skin tones covering cream who are also at the same level is keen. They are also providing same type of products and which are inexpensive to attract our same target groups. As a result, we have to consider about what are our vantages and extent them to get more awareness. Furthermore, the brand image of The Body Shop has become old, and is it not that attractive to the new young customers.
So there is a need for The Body Shop to re u d the image into task Marketing Objectives ion and vita Our marketing objective has two parts, one is short term and other one is long term. We will explain as follow. Short Term Concealed needs to be more popular. Therefore, the marketing objective is to enhance the promotion of Tea Tree Concealed that can increase 5-10% sales in short term. It means that we will increase 5-10% sales of Tea Tree Concealed in 5 months. Long Term As for the long term objectives of The Body Shop, it mainly has two steps want to achieve. 1 .
Develop a new tea tree concealed for men From different researches in the market, we know that the make-up market for men is now expanding; more men are more focus on their appearance for different perspectives. Therefore, The Body Shop should invent a new tea tree concealed for men only, which can focus on the needs of men, such as promotes healing of acne, keeps your skin elastic and improves appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. As a result, the company would like our research and development department can invent a men concealed within nine months’ time. 2.
Sale 10000 concealed within six months The company aims at maximizing the profit of the company. If The Body Shop promotes the new product, “Men’s Tea Tree Concealed”, its focus on the needs of men, so The Body Shop can increase its profit as it promotes a new men product. The company will have a questionnaire in the future so that we can know more about our market, for example, setting our target group, the price that people can accept, which promotion strategies is the best for our market. As a result, we would like to sell 10,000 pieces of concealed within six months’ time, which is a measurable objective.
Marketing Strategies Short term To mention the short term objective of the Body Shop, we mainly want to attract some new customers by the new products. On the other hand, we also need to make the original customers continues to consume on our brand. And thus, we have discussed our mainly short term strategy to achieve our aim. 1 . Advertisement The Body Shop can have three major ways to show our advertisement. The first one is Faceable. Nowadays, Faceable is a popular website to let people share their feelings and photos.
And Faceable in Hong Kong is also necessary to people. Thus, do promotion on Faceable is an effective way to make more people know our new products. The second one is magazines. Magazines major target is office workers and the teenagers, and this target group is same as our products. Therefore, promotion on the magazines one big page can easy to let our targets know our new products. And the third one is promote next to the MAT escalator. MAT has many streams of people every day. And it is free when the people are standing on the escalator.
So, display on the escalator advertisement board is also easy to let people know our promotion. 2. Discount For the general customers, The Body Shop can give them 5-10% off discount. And the PIP can get one more discount after the new product has got 5-10% discount.

Sample The Body Shop can give out the sample more effectiveness. If we Just commonly give out the sample on the street will wreck the value of product.
And thus, we have planned to ask people like and share the post on Faceable, after that show it to the staff, then they can get one sample. This method can let people try our new product and also indirectly help our brand having a promotion simultaneously. 4. Sponsorship We try to have corporation with Managing and Watson. If people consume above $1 50, they can get a sample of Body Shop. Sponsorship can provides a great means of broadening our competitive edge by improving our company’s image prestige and reducibility by supporting events that your target market finds attractive.
