EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This report is implemented to perform the background information of POND‟S WHITE BEAUTY brand

based on its current situation, competitor analysis as well as future marketing and promotional

objectives under techniques of marketing communication‟s theories. Due to it, finally we can come up

with the Integrated Marketing Communication program including Advertising, Sales Promotion and PR

for this brand.

In Stage 1, for internal analysis, Pond‟s provide completely 3 main parts of product. These are core

product (beauty and confidence), actual product (package‟s design, pinkish-white style) and augmented

product (warranty, instructions). Pond‟s white beauty focuses on urban cities where having a large

number of teenagers and young girls who own medium income (200-250$/month). Moreover, this report

also analyzes the Psychological and Behavioral sequence model of Pond‟s target customers.

As a new whitening cream market in Vietnam, Pond owns 19% market share in 2007. With the

application of 4Ps, the comparison between Pond‟s and its competitors including Nivea, Olay and

Essance will be presented. In Environmental analysis, this brand is determined as getting many potential

advantages when living standard and technology development is increasing in Vietnam and more

women concern about their beauty. Besides it, weather and climate can be a serious consideration for

Pond‟s.

With the investment $1,700,000 on marketing campaigns, such as TV ads, magazines, OOH activities,

sales promotion and PR, Pond is believed to reach 26% market share and growth rate 15% as well as

raising 90% brand awareness in the end of 2011. Also, building a positive attitude ranges from 32-35%

of target customer and raising brand loyalty to more than 20%. A communication budget will be then

indicated.

In order to reach the objectives in Stage 1, the report comes up with a detail media plan. In

Advertisement strategy, a TV clip for Pond‟s white beauty will be developed with 3 sub parts named

“Rescue Pinkish-white Princess”. These 3 clips will be shown in the order: 10, 15, 25 October 2010 on

TV after the first one is posted on YouTube 1 weeks to get the audience‟s curious and attention. Also, it

is presented on Magazines for teens and young girls, like 2!, Hoa Hoc Tro as well as Online banners and

bus station.

For Sales Promotion plan, from 15 Oct to 25 Nov 2010 we created the pink trees located at Pond‟s

booths in cinema, shopping mall, high schools and music concert for customers to come and receive

Pond‟s sample combined with the horoscope following their birthday. In special event, customers will

get free Hippie headband in Christmas holiday and 10 free meal tickets in the night of Valentine. From

the time June to September, to increase sale volume, we offer a voucher for 2 people to have a free trip

to Vung Tau city in 2 days including free hotel and meals. When customers buy a set of Pond‟s, they

will get a lucky card inside to scratch.

In PR strategy, from 19 Dec 2010 to 1 Jan 2011, a Wishing Garden event will be occurred in central of

city. People will come to pink Christmas trees in this garden to write down their wish and hang them on

trees. These notes will be collected in 2 weeks and then put into a pink castle to take to sky by the

balloons. The second event called “With pond‟s white beauty,

Reach the top of creativity!!!” by running 2 contests. One is “Turn your ideas into reality” for all

Vietnamese students who will create a scripts for Pond‟s TV clip. Five copywriters with excellent scripts

will be provided 50 millions each to shoot the clips. The other contest is finding girl models for those

recording video clips. They will take photos with Pond‟s cream and attack Pond‟s package plus

application form to send to Pond‟s office. The winners will receive free trips, chances to work with

Unilever and other big rewards.

INTRODUCTION

After the first campaign, Ponds is successful in raising product awareness to the customers although it

could not avoid having some mistakes during the organization. Indeed, this report aims to create an IMC

plan for Ponds White Beauty through applying tools such as advertisement (TVC, magazine, out-of-

home), sales promotion and public relationship in order to increase more sales for the product. Actually,

the sales promotion and PR will be spent more to induce the purchase from the customers. Stage one of

this report will review the current situation of Ponds and state the objectives of new marketing

communication campaign. Moreover, in stage two, the strategies of each marketing tools will be

analyzed with more details about the time duration, the activities and the budget.

cream in order to make them more beautiful. Therefore, the core product of Pond‟s is aim to

give the girls beauty and confidence in their life.

Actual product:

Pond‟s product concerns about the design of package (square paper package covering a

round cream box) and pinkish-white style to differentiate their products from the other

competitors. Its brand name, styling and features have been combined carefully to deliver the

core benefit of caring about girl‟s skins.

Augmented product:

It‟s related to the warranty and additional customer services providing. Inside the package,

Pond‟s has offered a paper of instructions on how to use the products, also the phone

1.2.3. Environmental analysis:

Economic factor: This factor has strong effect on cosmetic industry. The economic situation

can have direct impact on consumer spending power and the input for the cosmetic industry. For

example, when the economy has to face with financial crisis, it will lead to reducing in

purchasing power. Vietnam with economic growth and higher standard living in recent years has

led to increase the purchasing power. Furthermore, a country with large population like Vietnam

is a favorable destination for more and more new products.

Social factor: the changes in social trends can influence on the demand of cosmetic products.

Fortunately, woman in today society become more and more concern about their beauty, so the

cosmetic industry could be a very potential in development. Moreover, the aging population can

impact on demand. For example, Vietnam is a young population country with more young

people than the older people, so it will be a high demand for beauty products.

Technological factor: It is important for the cosmetic industry to find new raw materials which

are friendly with human skin and also bring the certain effectiveness during the usages.

Environmental factor: the weather and climate also affect to the cosmetic industry. Each region

has different whether with different types of skin so they must be sure that the products can bring

effectiveness for customer in that area. For example, Pond‟s target the Asian market, so their

products need to have the function of protect skin from the sunlight. Moreover, the

manufacturing process must have no impact to the environment.

2. MARKETING AND PROMOTION/COMMUNICATION OBJECTIVES

2.2. Communication effects sequence:

3. COMMUNICATION BUDGET

Please refer to Appendix 12 for more detail.

STAGE 2

1. ADVERTISEMENT

1.1. Objectives:

Raise consumer’s interest about a new marketing strategy in 2010 for Pond‟s in Vietnam.

Improve the unique image of the product that is Pinkish- white Princess.

Generate Word of Mouth to ensure 70% of teenagers or young girls who are Pond‟s target

customer will discuss and mention about the clip with their friends every day.

1.2. Strategies:

1.2.1. Television:

Pond‟s White Beauty develops a story called “rescuing pinkish-white princess”. The TV clip will

be divided into 3 sub clips to show at 3 period of time on TV with the aim of raising viewer‟s

interest.

Besides it, the first clip (Clip A) will be posted on YOUTUBE within 1 week before it is shown

popularly on TV. We choose YouTube because it‟s the most famous online website globally

specializing clips which has 100 million viewers. Therefore, Pond‟s clip might raise the notice

Page 12: Marcom IMC Plan Ponds

IMC PLAN IMC Plan

Page 12

firstly in network citizen and we can get their evaluation from it. Moreover, it does not require

financial element.

Our strategy about TV ad relates to historical vestiges which has Prince and Princess, in order to

suit with Pond‟s White Beauty„s unique image as well as teenagers who still have day-dreaming

ob being a Princess.

We invite Quang Vinh singer to play Prince Role, as his nickname is Nightingale Prince, and

also his image, as a handsome, sweet guys, is very appropriate of being a prince. Moreover, he

has thousands of fans who are teenagers.

CLIP A (15s): 10 October 2010

The scenes in Clip A reflect a violent fighting between Quang Vinh as Prince and the soldiers in

15s, firstly shown in YouTube, and then launched on TV.

Also, the text “What is happening with Quang Vinh?” are appeared in the clip.

Moreover, this clip will not show the Pond‟s symbol, combining with the excited music to make

the viewers be more curious and continually wait for the second clip.

This would create word of mouth, there would be a lot of discussion, comments about what is

going on, is there a new movie of Quang Vinh, is it his new music video, etc. People would talk

about it. They might not even think of is as an advertisement.

Please refer to Appendix 3.1 to see the pictures to have more detail about the scenes.

CLIP B (15s): 15 October 2010

The second clip will be shown 5 days after Clip A was launched on TV. Actually, 5 days are not

too long and too short because the first clip had posted on YouTube in 1 week. As a result, a

numbers of teenagers had been familiar with this.

Clip B will be a combination of the scenes in Clip A which is cut shorter from 15s to 7s and

added the continual scenes. We have to do this because we want to help people who did not

watch the fist clip to catch the whole story of Pond‟s clips.

At the end story of Clip A where Quang Vinh fights with the soldiers, Clip B begins with the

success of the Prince. In other words, he wins and take his first steps into a castle where there are

even 2 princesses waiting.

Both of them are so beautiful and need to be rescued. At this time, the clip will end and so, one

question will be appeared “Who will Quang Vinh choose to rescue?” The purpose of Clip B is

also getting the customer‟s interest to make them waiting for the next clip.

Page 13: Marcom IMC Plan Ponds

IMC PLAN IMC Plan

Page 13

This again raises attention and curiosity. As it is shown on television, some might think is could

be an advertisement, but they still keeping talking and guessing what product it advertises for.

Please refer to Appendix 3.2 to see the pictures to have more detail about the scenes.

CLIP C (30s): 25 October 2010

This last clip contains the complete story of rescuing pinkish-white princess which are combined

the scenes from Clip A and B to help viewers understanding clearly about the clip.

It is shown 10 days after the second clip was launched on TV.

Clip C will begin from where Quang Vinh fights against the soldiers to the time he found 2

beautiful princesses. Continually, this clip is going to provide the last decision from Quang Vinh-

the prince to choose which Princess to rescue.

As a result, he comes to the left one who is Pinkish-white Princess to rescue her.

Moreover, the text will appear in front the clip “Let‟s choose Pond‟s white beauty to help your

prince realize you!!”

Then, the product Pond‟s White Beauty appears with the unique message:” Pond‟s White

Beauty, waking up your shining beauty, bringing you a rosy-white skin as you wish. Shining an

confident every step you walk”

The clip influenced teenager‟s psychology that they wish to become a Princess and find their

charming Prince. So, the story raises attention, and belief that the girls who use Pond‟s white

beauty will find their own Prince and get the success in life.

Please refer to Appendix 3.3 to see the pictures to have more detail about the scenes.

Time:

Each clip will be shown 2 times every day on HTV7 and VTV3 (most popular channels) from

7pm to 10pm because this time has a lot of teenagers watching.

Clip C will be shown everyday within 2 months from 25 October 2010 to 25 December 2010.

Total Budget: $640,000

Evaluation and Control:

According to TNS (England), there is 60% Vietnamese watching TV in “golden time” (from

8pm to 10pm). Besides that, numbers of teenagers is over 35% of total Vietnam‟s population

(Nielsen, 2008). Based on that, we can assume that nearly 8,000 young girls in Vietnam getting

notice from watching Pond‟s advertisement clip on TV. This percentage might plus the number

of teenagers reading magazines, going online to help us attracting a lot of target customers.

Page 14: Marcom IMC Plan Ponds

IMC PLAN IMC Plan

Page 14

Moreover, as Pond‟s advertisement posting on YouTube 3 months ago has about 1,300 viewers,

our strategy that posting Pond‟s clip there firstly might increase the numbers of viewers because

at this time, teenagers prefer to use Internet rather than other media.

Also, we can get the feedback from their rating or comments to improve our advertisement

1.2.2. Magazines:

HHT 2!, Yeah1 Teen and The Gioi Phu Nu.

These are monthly magazines specialized for teenagers and young woman.

Compared to other magazines, they have the highest number of issues per volume which can

bring the ads to the eyes of more prospects. This print media will be used throughout the year,

however, in each month, advertisement should appear in different magazine.

The 2 months period to the contest and event, ads will appear in all 3 magazines with consistent

design and message. It shows a nice looking female with pinkish white skin using Pond‟s. The

text section will highlight the advantage of the products or can be replaced with other content

such as interviewing some teenage idols about their experiences of using Pond‟s (refer to

Appendix 4.1).

Besides, this ad can also be placed where photographs and print ads are appropriate such as

newspapers, internet or point-of-purchase displays. The content will be changed for the event and

contest advertisement, it highlight the information such as time and location of the event together

with the application form (refer to Appendix 4.2). The advertisement is one full-color page

(21cm width by 27cm depth)

Total Budget: $75,000

Evaluation:

Both 2! and TGPN are long times established magazines with a lot of subscribers throughout the

country, we can expect the ads will approach to many potential customers.

Although Yeah1 Teen is a new magazine, its target market is exactly what Pond‟s are aiming to

which is teenagers. The right target readers can surely bring higher success for the ads.

CPM:

HHT 2! CPM $1,900/ 169 = $11.24

Yeah1 Teen CPM $800/ 18 = $44.44

TGPN CPM $3,200/ 50 = $64

1.2.3. Online Banner:

Page 15: Marcom IMC Plan Ponds

IMC PLAN IMC Plan

Page 15

Channel 14, Zing and HHT Online

These websites are popular for younger with high-traffic.

Nowadays, youths spend more time online therefore internet media is another effective tool to

target this segment. This medium can greatly help attract more visits into Pond‟s websites by

clicking on the banner. Since it would be less costly and time consuming to design and update

new online banners, they will be use to reflect every new promotions or upcoming events of

Pond‟s through the year.

Content of the banner will depend on the kind of activities carrying on that month. One 300 x

250 right banner will be placed on main page of the site so it can capture people‟s attention

easily (refer to Appendix 5). In the idle months, this medium will be cut out to save cost

Total Budget: $ 108,000 per year

Evaluation:

Since each banner is linked to Pond‟s White Beauty website, the effectiveness of this media will

be measure by comparing the traffics to Pond‟s before and after the campaign.

We can also track down how many visitors come from each site to develop a better online

strategy. Another element is an increase in the number of users registered at our website over the

year.

CPM:

Channel 14 CPM (per month) 14 $5,400/ 16,641= $0.32

Zing News CPM (per month) $6,000/ 28,523= $0.21 (TM=60% → CPM-TM = $0.35)

HHT CPM (per month) $1,300/ 1,725 = $0.75

1.2.4. Out-of-Home:

Bus station

Bus stop ads are the cheapest medium compared to others but not less effective.

Pond‟s billboards will be placed at the bus station located around district 1. This city centre has

very high traffic and a lot of entertainment places so it could easily appeal to young people. The

content will be similar with other media to make it consistent. It shows the product is shining and

it makes the skin of a young woman brighter (refer to Appendix 6).

For the ads to be more eye catching to remind people, the bus station would be painted in pink

and decorated as a castle – an image that associated with Pond‟s event. It will not carry any

Page 16: Marcom IMC Plan Ponds

IMC PLAN IMC Plan

Page 16

specific promotion to prevent outdated information since it would cost much time to change the

billboard image.

Total Budget: $12,000 per year

Evaluation:

As this advertising is used to support the entire campaign and is exposed to the masses, there is

no possible way to measure the impact of this strategy.

However, some factors such as good location and visually pleasing ads can promise to create

positive impact. For instance, since there are always traffic jams at rush hours in district 1, we

could have a lot of audiences trapped by slow moving traffic.

In general, inquiry tests can be applied to evaluate the effectiveness between these media. To illustrate,

when people go to the Pond‟s website, there will be a one question survey such as “how do you know

about our website”, some possible answers can be magazines, TV etc. Besides, we can also receive

responses from people who participate in our activities. For example, the similar question like “how do

you know about this contest” will be printed on the application form.

2. SALES PROMOTION:

2.1 Objectives:

Increase product awareness to the customers combined with boost up the sale by 30%.

By create attractive promotions program, it is believed to be effective in increasing the trial of

product.

The more chance for consumers try the product, the more loyalty customers Ponds has.

2.2 Strategies:

2.2.1 Sampling

“DISCOVER YOUR NEW DAY WITH POND’S WHITE BEAUTY”

Time: from the end of October (15/10/2010) to the end of November (25/11/2010), it will occur

reinforce the image of Ponds as well as encourage the sales effectively.

sampling program is “Discover your new day with Pond‟s White beauty”. It goes along with the

message on TV ads, as shining every step you walk, and make your every single day colorful.

The customers will be attracted by decorative booth; moreover, they will come to the tree and

find the horoscope following their birthday (refer to Appendix 7.2).

The salesperson will play a new role which is guiding the customers the way how to use Ponds

most effectively instead of traditional role- delivering free sample.

The booth will be put at many places in big cities, such as Ho Chi Minh City, Ha Noi, Da Nang.

For example:

Youth culture house.

Cinema such as Megastar Hung Vuong, Galaxy Nguyen Du, Nguyen Trai etc.

Shopping mall (Saigon square, supermarkets).

High schools (Le Hong Phong, Le Quy Don, Nguyen Thi Minh Khai).

Universities ( Educational university, Social science and human university)

Concert music (Hoa nhip ban tre): besides distributing the free sample the customers will

also receive a fan with image of Pond‟s White beauty so that it not only make the audience

feel comfortable during the concert but also can bring the image of Pond‟s white beauty

easily to the consumers‟ mind.

It is believed effective in attracting the customers go to Pond‟s booth to get free sample

because:

The sampling program happens at the time of broadcasting the ads on TV so the consumers

will have more motivation and intention to try the product. Moreover, during this time there

is Vietnam women day (20-10).

Decorating pinky booth combined with giving the horoscope information will make the

customers be curious and come.

Being different from the normal way of delivering sample, Pond understands the psychology

of their targeted customers who are teenagers and the youth, Pond include in the sample the

Page 18: Marcom IMC Plan Ponds

Page 18

horoscope- the information about feeling, activities on that day. The customers especially

teenagers will feel curious and interested in this program

Total Budget: $500,000

Evaluation:

ROI for a sampling investment:

1. The total cost of sampling: With the wide distribution of sampling program. Ponds plan to

deliver 1,000,000 units and the cost of each trial-sized unit is $0.4. Thus, total cost is

$400,000 ( i.e. 1,000,000 times $0.4)

2. Calculate the profit per unit: We assume that average four units will be purchased per year

and the profit which is calculated average among the set of Ponds White beauty is $0.8.

Thus, each customers will bring the potential profit is $3.2 (i.e. $0.8 multiply 4) when they

become repeat customers of our brand.

3. Calculate the number of converters: $400,000/$3.2= 125,000 units.

This means that 12.5% conversion rate to break even (i.e. 125,000/1.000,000= 12.5%)

4. Determine the effectiveness of the sampling:

In order to ensure the success of sampling, the conversion rate has to exceed the break-even

which is from 13% to 18%. Therefore the minimum of 162,500 people must become the

users of Ponds White beauty after trying the sample. (i.e. 125,000 times 1.3) in order to

cover the cost from sampling investment as well as increase sales and increase the profit.

We can evaluate this sampling program through:

The program occurs parallel with the time broadcasting new TVC of Ponds White beauty on

television. Moreover, because of new method of delivering sample, generating the Word of

mouth can help the program more successful. The more people come to the booth to get

sample, the more brand awareness Ponds raises.

We can compare the sales before with the sales after the sampling program happening.

2.2.2 Gift Attachment

Purpose is to increase the sale volume directly by create interest for buyers in some special

events:

In the Christmas event, we will launch a gift attachment campaign from the middle to the end of

APPENDIX

1. Review past promotion – Firms promotion capabilities:

Initially, Ponds white beauty has aimed to create an intensive marketing campaign to launch the product

to targeted customers.

Historical marketing strategy:

Advertising:

TV: HTV and VTV from 7pm-10 pm with the TVC taken from Thailand.

Print ads: Muctim, 2!, VTM

Sponsorship: Passport to love movie and Golden album – music concert.

Sales promotion:

Free sample: a small pack of Ponds were delivered at the universities in order to stimulate the

product trial. Ponds believed that it is effective for them to marketing directly the product to the

targeted customers who are young girls.

Free gift for customers on special occasion.

Direct marketing:

Experiential marketing program by putting booth in the supermarket and on the road. This program

tries to create the brand name of product to targeted customers.

Contest and event:

“Pinkish-white princess contest” attracts many teenagers as well as the youth because it can satisfy

their desires which are being famous and attending the party with their idol- Noo Phuoc Thinh.

Ponds used various tool to launch this contest to the customers such as micro- site

landatranghong.com, news website vnexpress, ngoisao and Tv commercial ads. However, the final

congratulation party lacked of information and received some bad comments.

Although Ponds had monetary investment on the first campaign; it cannot avoid having some mistakes

in organizing. In fact, Ponds spent more on building public relationship -their basic marketing strategy

through direct marketing and contest, event. However, it needs to be enhanced so that Ponds can

accomplish the target more efficiently.
