The Skin Care Story


Initial move into Skin care: A failure
1996, Samara brand launched in Chandigarh and Delhi with 15 products Failure due to bad distribution and marketing Revamping of the brand in late 1997, Spanish co. Antonio Puig co-ordinated Promoted select productsfairness cream & lotion, facial scrub, anti-acne cream etc. The range completely withdrawn in 1998 Reasons for failure of Samara: Products projected as need-based and not on glamour plank Insufficient advertising and promotional support Skin care solution relaunched in 2004 under the brand Vatika So far three basic products launched The segment has tremendous potential for expansion

Co-Branding with Vatika


Natural positioning of Vatika made brand extension feasible Advertising costs reduced, no fresh brand building needed Vatika Superbrand : from hair care solution to value added natural personal care for women VATIKA BRAND BUILDING

Creating Awareness: Other brands dont offer solution to problems caused by pollution, hard water and chemicals

Vatika Woman: Young, contemporary, multi-faceted, achievement-driven and confident.

Promotional Activities Vatika Supermodel 2001 Give a cosmetic and glamorous image to the brand. .

Baby Care Segment
