inspired by the poem The Lake Isle of Innisfree which means "an island for the skin to rest" This is one of the few Korean cosmetic brands certified by the French organic certification organization ECOCERT Innisfree's brand concept emphasizes nature, especially related to Jeju Island, Korea It is this idea that has given Innisfree many unique positions in the hearts of consumers in the global market Since then, this brand has reported sales of more than 140.5 billion Won (2011) Innisfree was officially present in Vietnam in October 2016, after nearly years of accompanying the Vietnamese beauty community, Innisfree currently has 21 stores in major cities The brand receives support from a large number of young people and cosmetics-loving consumers across the country Innisfree always works to bring the healthiest and most natural beauty to users They are committed to using only all-natural ingredients in Jeju Island to try to preserve the skin as well as the environment to the fullest Innisfree's products are always famous for the most nutrient-rich lines today Competitors with innisfree mostly come from foreign brands such as: The Face Shop, The Body Shop, Etude House, Laneige In the future, the market will continue to expand and the level of competition the higher the increase It is also a big challenge for Innisfree when it has to compete with big brands in the industry and also an opportunity for Innisfree to assert its brand in the cosmetic market Innisfree's main and direct competitors in Vietnam currently have two brands The Face Shop and The Body Shop Innisfree will still maintain marketing and sales campaigns for the year 2023 despite having achieved high business growth The brand spent billion VND 0 Tieu luan to implement this campaign to increase sales and visibility in the media during Tet The campaign includes many activities such as advertising, sales promotion, communication, digital marketing, and e-commerce and will be implemented from November 22, 2022 to January 21, 2023 Most of the expenses are focused on advertising with short films during Tet and sales promotion to promote sales activities on multi-distribution channels The central message of the film is that everyone should overcome their fears to feel that Tet is the most beautiful and meaningful time On difficult days, it is important to choose the most joyful and meaningful path to take II.Situation analysis 2.1.Market summary Vietnam’s cosmetics market is rather young, yet is one of the most dynamic in the region As living standards in Vietnam grow, Vietnamese consumers are becoming more aware of personal care and beauty products besides satisfying basic needs Cosmetics products are a big business in Vietnam The industry is booming thanks to a large number of Vietnamese consumers investing in personal care and beauty products given higher living standards Vietnam has risen to a middle-income from a low-income country, with an increasing middle-income class who are allocating more of their income to cosmetics products A middle-class female in Vietnam spends an average of VND 450,000 – VND 500,000 (US$19 – US$21) monthly on makeup and skincare 0 Tieu luan Growing disposable income, evolving beauty standards, the spread of social media, and the Korean wave all contribute to the soaring demand for beauty products in Vietnam South Korea is renowned for its skincare and makeup regime Korean idols and influencers add fuel to self-care trends in Vietnam through social media, campaigns, advertisements, and beauty blogs Moreover, greater financial independence for employed women in Vietnam has driven their demand for beauty care while evolving beauty standards has led males to pay more attention to grooming Since 2018, the percentage of women in Vietnam using cosmetics has climbed up from 76 percent to 86 percent In the next decade, Vietnam’s cosmetics market is projected to witness a growth of 15-20 percent annually Vietnam’s skin care product market size totaled in value at US$850 million in 2019 and is anticipated to reach US$1.9 billion by 2027, indicating a CAGR of 11.7 percent during the 2021-2027 period Overview of the cosmetics market Vietnam is a hotspot for foreign cosmetics brands with up to 93 percent of personal care products imported South Korea is the dominant cosmetics exporter to Vietnam, followed by Europe, Japan, Thailand, and the US 0 Tieu luan Source: US Department of Commerce Other exporters of beauty and personal care include Singapore and China Meanwhile, domestic brands only represent less than 10 percent of total consumption Domestic brands mainly focus on affordable, lower-end products that compete on price Foreign players’ dominance in the market is mainly due to the Vietnamese’s preference for imported products Vietnamese consumers perceive foreign brands as having higher quality and a wider variety of products that can cater to individual needs Vietnam’s importation of beauty products was worth around US$950 million in 2019 The most prominent imports include facial cleansers, facial moisturizers, lipsticks for women, and grooming/shaving products for men The opening of various retail chains like Watsons, Guardian, and new players like Pharmacity and Matsumoto, has increased the reach of imported cosmetics products to middle-class and affluent consumers in Vietnam Meanwhile, recognizing the potential of the young, yet budding market of Vietnam, major and high-end foreign cosmetics companies have either opened representative offices or sold through agents and distributors such as: Unilever: constituting up to 12 percent of the market, famous brand: Pond’s Beiersdorf Vietnam: Nivea LG Vina Cosmetics: Ohui (high-end), The Face Shop AmorePacific Vietnam: Laneige, Innisfree L’Oreal Vietnam Co Ltd: L’Oreal 0 Tieu luan Some domestic brands like Thorakao, Saigon Cosmetic, Lana, Sao Thai Duong, and a new player, Cocoon, have gained some degree of reputation Revenue of the cosmetics market in Vietnam has been on a steady rise for all sectors since 2019, with implications for 2023 Opportunities and challenges for new and current players Vietnamese people are becoming more health-conscious, and are paying close attention to the ingredients of beauty products in the market This has opened up new opportunities for cosmetics companies wishing to extend beyond their current scope or newcomers wishing to enter Vietnam’s cosmetics and personal care market Investors should look to domestically produce and distribute organic beauty products for two main reasons First, Vietnam has relatively cheap organic and herbal ingredients that can serve beauty products Coconut is one such ingredient that is abundant in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta region and is an essential element in many beauty products This is followed by turmeric, green tea, and aloe vera, three native ingredients in Vietnam with healing properties for damaged skin Overall Vietnam is native to a wide range of organic ingredients – a good foundation for businesses that want to develop organic products domestically Secondly, the local consumer mindset is changing, with exceptional concern about the quality of personal care products, especially for Generation Z Hence, organic and herbal products are likely to see immense growth in the beauty market Big players are already making the change L’Oreal, the market leader, has launched their popular Inoa hair dye which they claim to be oil-based and ammonia-free while Nivea by Beiersdorf has also introduced their natural skincare line 0 Tieu luan Yet challenges remain One big hindrance is that the cosmetics market in Vietnam is rather young and unstable One big driver behind the high demand for cosmetics products is the Korean wave However, Korean trends alternate radically from time to time, which has made the cosmetics market in Vietnam vulnerable to instability Besides, the cosmetics market is also significantly influenced by Korean celebrity endorsements Endorsing one product over another carries weight and influences the sales of products, adding to a company’s challenges Another challenge in the market is that it is highly price sensitive Since a large proportion of consumers are young people with a lower income, they tend to go for products of the lower end rather than high-end products To compete, it is important that cosmetics and personal care companies set their price range as close as possible to the buying power of Vietnamese consumers Vietnam’s cosmetics market also holds challenges for Western brands due to consumers’ stereotypes Consumers believe Asian-made products are a better suit for their skin type than European-made products owing to physical differences However, the problem can be alleviated as long as Western brands show a strong commitment to quality since Vietnamese consumers are more concerned with quality ingredients 2.2.SWOT analysis Strengths Low and middle price – Innisfree products are in the low to moderate price range This range includes a wider range of customers Thus, they attract a wider segment by pursuing such a pricing strategy Surely, their pricing strategy has some drawbacks, but it corresponds to their product offering 0 Tieu luan Eco-friendly campaigns – The eco-friendly campaigns contribute to building an image of a green company They use the goods of the environment and give back to the environment They contribute to the community and try to make the environment better Tree-planting campaigns and charity programs are living proof of that Organic ingredients – Using ingredients of organic origins adds to their reputation and the trust of customers When the company uses natural ingredients, they earn the trust of customers as a brand with natural products Weaknesses Low brand recognition – Despite their natural products and their unique origin, Innisfree does not enjoy the recognition they deserve If we compare the brand with others, it is not well recognized This is because they concentrate on specific markets Low diversification of markets – Innisfree is now present in Asian and North American markets This fact limits their growth opportunities Brand recognition also suffers because of its limited presence Opportunities Territorial expansion – As we already mentioned, Asia and North America are the only markets in which Innisfree operates If they expand to European markets, they will have more opportunities for scaling Their pricing strategy will help them establish their place in new markets quickly 0 Tieu luan Digital Marketing Online ads Youtube: Most customers will spend more time watching Youtube in the near days of Tet, running promotional videos will have a significant effect and understanding the majority of customers' psychology is that the advertisements appear right after they have the need of something for Tet such as clothes, household appliances, New Year’s gift, and makeup stuff of course , based on their recent search on other platform like Google, Facebook, Advertising on those platforms will give customers access to and know their product brands Facebook: As the technology advances, access to Facebook has also become simpler, so there are more and more age groups using Facebook, which is extremely advantageous for advertising and selling products Currently in Vietnam, there are more than 60 million Facebook users, accounting for more than two-thirds of the nation's population With more and more content, Facebook is becoming more and more popular According to statistics, each person uses at least hours to visit Facebook Google Ads: Google is regarded as the undisputed leader in online advertising since it is the most well-known and frequently used search engine in the world Google provides advertisers with access to an unmatched and unprecedented potential audience of consumers who are actively looking for goods and services Google processes more than 3.5 billion search queries every single day Social Media Influencers Marketing: People want to hear from trustworthy individuals about the brands they use, and 70% of consumers say they trust the opinions of influencers as much or more than their real-world friends Most Gen Z (92%) trust influencer 0 Tieu luan recommendations more than traditional adverts or celebrity endorsements The views of influencers matter, and people are listening increasingly to them Communication Print Ads: As paper and ink are solid and tangible, print advertising is often perceived as being more believable and more influential than digital ads On a print ad, the “fine print” may be small, but it is there in plain sight, rather than requiring a reader to click through a labyrinthine website in order to find it Billboards: is effective for building brand awareness and broadcasting your business (or product or campaign) to as many people as possible Because they’re in such busy areas, billboards tend to have the highest number of views and impressions when compared to other marketing methods Execution

objectives: - CLTV - Repeat purchases V BUDGET VI THE CHALLENGES OF THE BRIEF After analyzing the Innisfree brand, we can comment as follows: Tet is a season with many competing brands 0 Tieu luan E-commerce: Innisfree also sells its products through digital channels, such as its official website and e-commerce sites like Shopee, Lazada, Customers can easily learn how to use it, save money on travel time, and buy things quickly This is a popular way to shop, and it's expected to make up about 40% of all sales, since many customers still want a more real experience with the product 3.5.4 Promotion Digital marketing: Innisfree does not yet have many channels through which to reach its customers It should be invested in running advertisements on social networking sites such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter as well as YouTube Although Facebook and Instagram are obvious platforms for content sharing, multimedia apps such as TikTok and Pinterest are gaining popularity With a single quote post cut from a movie or a short video optimized for each platform, Innisfree can reach thousands of people Furthermore, social media allows for direct communication with customers, allowing them to form a bond 0 Tieu luan with the company According to research, 70% of people are more likely to use a brand's product or service if it responds or reaches out on social media Seeding articles, cosmetic review groups, and beauty groups is also a good strategy because many people want to hear other people's opinions Communication Despite having been in Vietnam for a long time, Innisfree still does not have its own brand representative for this country, but instead employs images of Korean representatives This can make it difficult to connect with customers, particularly those who are uninterested in Korean culture Similarly, reusing Korean advertising may be ineffective because the characteristics of the Vietnamese market may differ from those of Korea Furthermore,innisfree does not really invest in advertising in Vietnam, so this may affect the manufacturer's communication and access to customers as well as retail stores Promotion: The company should regularly organize incentive programs to stimulate buyers because customers always want to buy goods at good prices In addition, if 0 and distributes to other wholesalers and Innisfree expands its channel structure Tieu luan retailers (not part of the company), it must develop separate programs for different levels to ensure attractiveness and profitability Wholesalers and retailers can see that they benefit from cooperation with Innisfree Organizing attractive campaigns such as giving free samples to customers who buy products (Valentine's Day, Tet holidays ) or vouchers, discounts to new and current customers Besides, organizing online and offline events to promote customer engagement 0 Tieu luan IV TET PROMOTION PLAN 4.1.Idea CAMPAIGN NAME “Xuân sang, có Innisfree sang” Everyone

is essential that people look for Among all the oil-control cosmetic brands, it is impossible not to mention Innisfree, which is not only famous for its powder but all its other equipment products are also very interesting because they are not extracted from the main ingredients from benign nature but extremely expensive for students 4.2.Tagline “Tự tin da xinh – Lung linh đón Tết” The most popular
