Assessment Task 2 Instructions

Carefully read the following:

NatureCare Products is based in Brisbane,
Queensland Australia. It commenced business in 1996, manufacturing and
retailing eco-friendly, high quality beauty skin care products.

The business was established to cater for a
growing demand for skin products that contain eco-friendly and natural
ingredients. There is also an emphasis on eco-friendly packaging.

NatureCare Products’ current Strategic Plan
identifies that its vision is to be a market leader for providing high quality,
sustainable skin care products.

Its organisational objectives are to:

·
To be a high performing
profitable business

·
To be a leader and innovator in
natural, eco-friendly cosmetics

·
To attract, engage and develop
the best staff

It has identified its major competitors as
being Jurilique and Botani, and is currently working on positioning itself against
this strong competition. The price of its products are slightly higher than
major competitors.

The organisation currently consists of the
CEO, Operations Manager, Sales Manager, Marketing Assistant, Customer Sales
Officers (5) and Administration staff (3). All the positions are based in the
office in Brisbane.

The company’s current range of products
include:

·
Cleansing creams to soothe skin during make-up removal. Primary ingredients are Shea
butter to nourish the skin and plant the skin, and plant extracts rich in
essential oils with regenerating and anti-inflammatory properties.  This product is for delicate and mature skins
and can also be used as a baby cream.

·
Multi Protection Day Moisturizing Creams
for dry to normal skin types that help protect the skin during the day. It
contains shea butter and extracts from fragile green algae that provides
hydrating and protective properties.

·
Regenerating facial scrub to clean off
dead skin cells to promote regeneration of healthy new cells. This product can
be used on most skin types.

The company has
become well established in the Australian market, and sells its products in
health stores across the country. However, the company wants to widen its range
of retails outlets with other outlets that reflects its desired positioning.

It also sells
its products online through its own web site, although there is no SEO, and no
social media presence currently.

The company targets
customers that want high quality, eco-friendly products. Market research has
identified that around 70% of customers are professional women aged 25 to 55.

The current
strategy of the company as identified in its latest Marketing Plan is niche
marketing to the target group based on positioning the products as high quality
and eco-friendly.

With regard to the marketing of NatureCare
Products, the company is reasonably happy with sales through the web site but
would like to do more in the future, for example, through reviewing search
engine optimisation and to use social media to generate sales. The company is
in a strong financial position and has a budget of around $150,000 for
marketing for the upcoming financial year.

The company would like to add more products
over time and is focussed on a range of products to meet particular skin needs
rather than a one-size fits all. The company is also interested in expanding
overseas. Researchhas identified that Japan may represent a good opportunity for
the company, as it has been identified there are good opportunities for
products made from natural ingredients. The company has also decided to target
essentially the same group of consumers as for the Australian market, as it has
identified that a key group of consumers in Japan for cosmetic products are middle-aged
and older women who seek functionality and higher-value-added items.

Regarding the company’s current promotional
activities, successful promotional activities have been advertisements on the
Australian body + soul web site and in the Natural Health magazine. There have
also been in-store promotions with the focus on high quality products for
women.

The management team of NatureCare Products
has advised that its primary marketing objectives are:

·
Increase the number of people
who make a purchase while visiting the online store by 20%.

·
Increase the number of retail
outlets selling NatureCare Products by 150.

·
To increase product awareness
amongst the target market by 20%.

·
To increase market share to
15%.

·
To expand into at least one
international market.

·
To identify new products and
new markets.

·
To attain annual growth of at
least 10% over the next three years.

Regarding market trends, the following have
all contributed to the growth in popularity of natural-based personal care
products:

·
health warnings

·
environmental concerns

·
ethical concerns

·
therapy awareness

·
organic attitudes

It is predicated that natural/organic
skincare, hair care and cosmetics sales will continue to grow strongly in the
retail sector. Cosmetics in general are also still growing strongly.

Complete the following activities to
develop a marketing plan briefing report using the template provided. Your
report must be professionally presented and written in clear and concise
English.

and clearly demonstrate how the strategies align with the NatureCare Product’s strategic
objectives.

5.

marketing strategies, you are required to plan and report on marketing tactics
for each of the marketing strategies you have identified.

This must include:

·
Details of proposed marketing
tactics to implement each strategy and rationale for such.

·
Timing of the marketing
tactics, staff roles and responsibilities and costs involved. Costing should be
developed in line with the budget outlined in the case study information. You

·
Recommended coordination and
monitoring mechanisms that will be used to ensure that the marketing tactics
are implemented as required and according to timelines.

·
How the proposed marketing
tactics are achievable within the available budget and staff and are relevant
to the organisation’s marketing objectives.
