Executive Summary Innisfree, the Naturalism No.1 brand owned by South Korea's largest cosmetics company Amore Pacific Corporation, is getting increasingly well established and experienced in many countries, including Vietnam.The company considers that Vietnam is a potential market for foreign companies to operate business due to the friendly policies and higher living standard. Furthermore, Korea’s K-beauty brands are sweeping the global market and winning over the Vietnamese cosmetics market. Thus, Innisfree's entry into the market has made them become one of the top well-known Korean brands in Vietnam with a wide range of products. The main objective of our research is to study the vital factors in the Vietnamese skin care market, explore marketing methods, and unlock new opportunities for Innisfree. The research results will contribute to identifying and improving the shortcomings in the process of serving customers and promoting the strengths so that the brand can compete with large corporations in the industry and maintain the brand's position in the market. B. Market Overview I. Company Profile 1. Company background Innisfree was founded by Amore Pacific in 2000, aiming at creating naturally-friendly products from ingredients originated in Jeju Island. The brand name was inspired by a poem of Irish poet ,“The Lake Isle of Innisfree”. Since the beginning, Innisfree spread the belief that clean nature and healthy beauty can coexist in harmony and that ideology has been well-carried and perfected over time. Initially, the main target is to generate convenience and comfort for the Millennials, but as the firm grows, at the moment they are currently shifting into producing goods for the new potential customers, which are the Gen Z. Innisfree is a hero brand for AmorePacific and as such has been a key element of the group’s ongoing global expansion plans. 2. Company strategy intent + Mission statement Innisfree - the pure island where clean nature and healthy beauty coexist in harmony. We share the benefits of nature from Jeju island for vibrant beauty and pursues an eco-friendly green life to preserve the balance of nature. 6 Downloaded by Huyen cao thi thanh (huyen6633@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|18352685 JUICY SMOODIES + Vision Innisfree is a natural brand chasing "smart consumption" by offering a variety of high-quality items at reasonable prices. Innisfree wants to be the world's most recognized naturalistic brand. + Core value Naturalism-oriented brand representing Korea Environment friendly Pure materials II. Business Portfolio 1. Products portfolio: Innisfree is aiming at offering an exhaustive care for our customers, which is well-represented in three outstanding categories: Skin Care, Make Up and Body&Hair. * Although providing a wide range of products for overall caring, Innisfree is gaining its major profits from Skincare, especially Green Tea. Almost no consumers talk about Innisfree without acknowledging the existence of this cult-favorite product, as well as talking about such product types without mentioning Innisfree. Therefore, this report will set Innisfree’s Green Tea Seed Serum as the target object when discovering the brand. * Innisfree’s introduction of these products has been considerably successful by having their own position in customers' minds whenever the keywords “green tea”, “serum” are mentioned. However, compared to their reputation, there are more and more competitives coming up with the perfect alternatives with high/higher quality and at an affordable/cheaper cost. To keep their image unchanged, the brand should consider changing slightly in how they create the products. 2. Service Portfolio: Innisfree's services are diverse, ranging from delivery services to seasonal gifts. With a dedication in understanding and taking care of customers, Innisfree always strives to provide customers with the best experience. III. Competitive Environment 1. Competitors South Korean beauty firms have established themselves as market leaders in Asia's cosmetic sectors, and Vietnam is no exception. In fact, the popularity of K-beauty products is among the highest in Vietnam. Meanwhile, local enterprises have yet to make a significant impact due to severe competition and a high consumer preference for multinational goods. Comparison Table 7 Downloaded by Huyen cao thi thanh (huyen6633@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|18352685 JUICY SMOODIES Small cosmetics stores and online shops (often unregistered ones) where fake and branded products are mixed or low-recognized, hand-carried ones are sold bargain. 2. Consumer Vietnamese consumers often look for products with 4 main characteristics: - Products with famous brands and origins - Sold in official stores. - Contains organic, eco-friendly ingredients - Low price Therefore, Innisfree wants to serve and satisfy all customers' needs by producing the suitable products for a group of clients: from 15 to 30 years old, with the core message that is "Not only delivering natural healthy beauty to customers, we are also working to bring sustainable beauty value to the environment.” IV. Market Situation According to research recorded in Market of The Future (2016), Vietnam leads the fastest growing beauty and personal care market in Asia. This is demonstrated by around 90% of imported cosmetics sold in Vietnam and only 10% of domestic brands (Vietnam Chemical Cosmetics Association 2016), which means that today the demand for personal care and beauty has increased significantly, especially in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. - Market size: According to AMR, the Vietnam skin care products market size was valued at $768.1 million in 2020, and is expected to garner $1,922.4 million by 2027, registering a CAGR of 11.7% from 2021 8 Downloaded by Huyen cao thi thanh (huyen6633@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|18352685 JUICY SMOODIES to 2027. The skin care products market exhibits an incremental revenue opportunity of $1,154.25 million from 2020 to 2027. - Market growth: According to Yano Research Institute (Japan), in 2018, the Vietnamese cosmetic market reached a value of 2.35 billion USD, having the fastest growth rate in Southeast Asia. It is expected that in the next 10 years, the growth rate of Vietnam's skin care and makeup cosmetics market will be about 15% - 20% per year. - Market share: Data from the Vietnam Association of Cosmetics - Aromatherapy and Essential Oils shows that there are currently 400 cosmetic businesses, including 100 foreign ones. Most of the mid-to-highend global cosmetic brands such as L'Oreal, The Faceshop, Dior, .... have all joined the Vietnamese market. In terms of coverage and consumer preference, Korean cosmetics accounted for 30% of the market share, the EU ranked second with 23%, followed by Japan 17%, Thailand 13%, the US 10% and the remaining 7% belong to other countries. 9 Downloaded by Huyen cao thi thanh (huyen6633@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|18352685 JUICY SMOODIES C. SWOT ANALYSIS I. SWOT Analysis STRENGTHS - Middle price - Use of Eco-friendly campaigns - Organic ingredient from Jeju island OPPORTUNITIES - Territorial expansion - Korean wave and Korean beauty - New cosmetic trend (natural and organic ingredients). WEAKNESSES - The packaging is not as attractive and eye-catching as competitors’ - Not suitable for all types of skin, especially the sensitive one. - Not suitable for the weather in VN THREATS - High power of substitute products with similar functions. - The weather condition of Vietnam is not as dry as South Korea. - Counterfeits and low-quality products are rampant in Vietnam markets Innisfree's core problem in their best seller product, The Green Tea Seed Serum, is its cosmetic formula. Although it was announced on the official website that they have reduced the fragrance by 70% and upped the effective ingredients and green tea derived formula by 79% compared to the previous version (2019), the position of the two ingredients, alcohol denat and fragrance, is still ahead of CAMELLIA SINENSIS leaf extract. This means that this product will irritate and cause abrasion, weaken the skin and make it more susceptible to infection. => Job to be done: In order to tackle the Innisfree core problem, first, the marketing department should work with the R&D department to develop a new product which not only suitable for 10 Downloaded by Huyen cao thi thanh (huyen6633@gmail.com) lOMoARcPSD|18352685 JUICY SMOODIES different skin types, especially the sensitive skin, but also improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and anti-aging. Subsequently, we suggest Innisfree launch a campaign for special occasions, such as Tet, to promote this new product, based on the segmentation that Innisfree is targeting. II. Company Objectives According to the 3rd quarter financial report of A/P, Innisfree, especially in Asia, has decreased by 57%, which does have some effects on the company's business objectives. The details will be declared as follows: Business Objectives: + Achieve a significant growth of 150% in sales within 12 months + Increase market share by 5% within 12 months + Increase market growth by 15% from 2021 to 2028 + Increase interests by 25% within a year Marketing Objectives + Ensure the steady growth of Innisfree in 2020-2022 in Vietnam with an annual increase of at least 10%. + Increase customer loyalty by 40% + Achieve at least 90% excellent customer service rating each month + Increase the frequency of customers using the product by 35% Communication Objectives + Increase visitor numbers to the website about 40% during 12 months. + Improve brand recognition by 35% amongst the 15 – 25 age group. + Increase the proportion of sales from male customers.

Finally, they have a strong positioning and clear understanding of their ideal buyer persona. They aim for the ‘trendy’ and ‘public’ criteria by developing a product that is friendly to most markets and can be used popularly.

I. Conclusion Innisfree is one of the most famous Korean cosmetics brands that is currently gaining ground on the Vietnamese beauty market. Innisfree defines itself as a No.1 naturalism-oriented brand with a variety of modern and reasonable products originating from Jeju Island. The best-selling product of this brand is the Green Tea Seed Serum. Although it is outstanding among the brand’s products, Innisfree needs more than that to reach further on its target market, which is the reason why we conduct research to come up with a better version called “Skin Healing Version”, that can perfectly deliver the previous product’s strengths and overcome its existing weaknesses. Consequently, this strategic plan can elevate Innisfree’s status on promising markets. J. Reference list ABOUT US - INGREDIENTS GREENTEA | innisfree.
