Findings
•Brand image of Loreal is average in Bhubaneswar market.•Some of the customers do not want to buy L’Oreal products, because it is too expensive for them.•Though brand image is not so high, but public prefer to go for L’oreal product in Bhubaneswar market.•The reason of success in Bhubaneswar market is because of the following factors: •L’Oreal is a foreign product, •its quality is good, •customers are getting 100% value out of the brands.•Loreal has got a very good brand reputation in international market. It also uses brand ambassadors like Penelope Cruz, Aishwarya Rai. But people of Bhubaneswar are least aware about the brand and its image
As we know L’Oreal is a branded company but still they are not rising in Bhubaneswar market, if the company reduces the price, may be they will get large number of customer for their product. They could sell some of its product at a reasonable price so that they could gain a large number of market share. Now they are at a position of 41%, if they lower their price then their position could come up to 54% but always low pricing strategy compromise with the quality of product and the best thing in L’Oreal is that it is known worldwide for the best quality in cosmetics segment.They could come up with new marketing strategy as well as pricing strategy.
