Generation: Bangladesh having monsoon weather most of the time our climate Is hot and burning. So the use of lotion In that climate Is quite Irrelevant. In winter the skin looses the smoothness thus It Is mandatory to use body lotion. But if we try It In summer then it will be a disaster because of sunburn the skin will become dark and shady. But it is necessary to keep the moisture of body in summer also but due to sunburn we can't do it. Togged rid of this problem, Advanced Chemicals Limited (ACE) introduces the body cooling lotion will moisture the body and also keep the skin safe room sunburn.Body cooling lotion uses menthol which keeps the whole body cool and gives energy to the working people to work under heat. Besides that, who are beauty conscious can get the fresh look and moisture skin by using this body cooling lotion. And the most Important thing body cooling lotion also deals with physical side like by using this lotion people can get rid from the problem of sweating d ehydration, Itching, and allergy. 3. Core Values The human core or internal body temperature is normally maintained to quite close tolerances regardless of weather, clothing, bathing, or cosmetics on the skin .Body lolling lotion temporarily affects the temperature of the skin, especially the outermost layer of epidermis. In general, this lotion will balance the temperature by acting as a blanket and possibly by blocking perspiration, which cools the skin. Under conditions of sickness or injury, there may be a malfunction of the body's temperature control system. Like other lotions body cooling lotion is not only responsible for body moisture but also has a twist of menthol which will create a cool refreshing feeling all day long which secure them from sweating and dehydration and Instantly refreshes skin, leaving It feeling fresh and clean.Sun blocks never provide superior protection from the sun. Because we are always reluctant to use lotion in summer because using lotion can dark our skin so body cooling lotion act as a crucial part in summer . People need to feel fresh and calm in this weather. For this reason a perfect cooling body lotion is needed for both man and woman. Besides that body cooling lotion is waterproof, sweat proof and water resistant. The other core values are no harmful chemicals, no allergy, no side effects, and superior quality. 4.Situation Analysis l) Market situation: ACE Is one of the leading antiseptic and personal care product manufacturing many in Bangladesh. As Sac's products are perceived very positively by customers, is body lotion. In the present market, Square does not have any body cooling lotion. Square only have â€Å"cool† body spray which will keep the body cold with the distinctive and masculine fragrance. Moreover, cool is segmented only for male users. So, there will be huge market for female body cooling lotion. On the other side, another competitor Milliner is doing monopolistic and exclusive business in the body lotion market.Because mostly available body lotion manufactured by Milliner â€Å"Baseline†, Dove† and â€Å"Fair and Lovely-body lotion† in the local market. It has been identified that, few years back ACE has been launched soap under both of the segment which are health soap and beauty soap. But they were unable to capture the maximum market share than other companies in both of the segment. The reason was that, they were incapable to compete with the dominant brand Lug under beauty soap category and with Delete and Lifebuoy under health soap category. Furthermore, they were incapable because of their inconsistency in distribution and lack of product uniqueness.That is why, the company has come up with a new idea and they want to munch a new kind of body cooling lotion which will contain both antiseptic quality and beauty care quality. It) Demographic: Consumer needs and wants change with age. Although every class of people are concerned about their skin but young people are more concerned about their skin and beauty. So sometimes it's very crucial for them to use a comfortable product which can protect their skin, increase moisture, and protect sunburn. Body cooling lotion is the perfect solution for them.Dividing a market in different groups based on sex, has long been common for many products like cosmetics. According to gender it s more important to use separate lotion. Body cooling lotion is not same for the male and female. So according to gender body cooling lotion should be used. Another important factor under demographic is age. Product can also differ according to age. A baby cannot use the same lotion which a young and adult people use. So body cooling lotion can also differ according to age. Another factor is personality and life cycle. According to life cycle body cooling lotion is used for those people who are working class.All day they are staying in outside and to feel fresh with addition skin moisture they need to u se the body cooling lotion. Another thing is personality. Classy people always skin conscious, body conscious and they want to see themselves in fresh look. So body cooling lotion is highly acceptable for them. Ill) Geographic: The elements of defining the relevant geographic market include the nature and characteristics of the concerned products, the existence of entry barriers, consumer preferences, and differences among the market shares of undertakings in the neighboring geographic areas.A company's product can extend their name based on customer preferences. If the customer accepts the body cooling lotion, then they can expand their market worldwide. Under geographical segment the ingredient of the product should be safe, customer should highly prefer body cooling lotion and as a result the exit barrier will be low. ‘v) Behavior factors: social factors, personal factors and psychological factors. Cultural factors are coming from the different components related to culture or cultural environment from which the consumer belongs. According to culture body cooling lotion can be acceptable.White collar people who spend their majority of time in work can have the problem of sweating, dehydration, for that reason body cooling lotion is mandatory. From young to adult, male and female every class of people can use body cooling lotion. And now a days women are also participating to work in outside, so according to the scenario the majority portion of people are working in outside by facing sunburn, sweating problem. Thus body cooling lotion can act as a prominent part. Social factors are among the factors influencing consumer behavior significantly.They fall into three categories: reference groups, family and social roles and status. More generally, reference groups are defined as those that provide to the individual some points of comparison more or less direct about his behavior, lifestyle, desires or habits. If the consumer show positive behavior, interes ted to use the body cooling lotion and after using they are use to with it then it is highly acceptable. The family is maybe the most influencing factor for an individual. It forms an environment of colonization in which an individual will evolve, shape his personality, and acquire values.If the family persons are interested to use this lotion then it is highly acceptable. The position of an individual within his family, his work, his country club, his group of friends, etc. All this can be defined in terms of role and social status. After family friends are interested to use it then it can extend their market. Decisions and buying behavior are obviously also influenced by the characteristics of each consumer. A consumer does not buy the same products or services at 20 or 70 years. His lifestyle, values, environment, activities, hobbies and consumer habits evolve throughout his life.So according to consider those requirements it is a challenge for the body cooling lotion whether it is accepted or not. The purchasing power of an individual will have, of course, a decisive influence on his behavior and archiving decisions based on his income and his capital. As body cooling lotion is affordable so every class of people can buy this product. Motivation and perception are most important. If people hear positive word from their friends and family about the lotion then they will highly motivated and perceive in a good way.Then after using the product if they get the positive result then their belief and attitude will be positive and they will buy more which will increase the profitability of the product. 5.

Competitor Analysis: Peoples are getting more concern w ith their skin, beauty and comfort day by day. Now, everyone wants to keep themselves organized and beautiful from their affordability. Hence, with the increasing demand many companies are there to serve the needs in a good manner to satisfy or hold customers. So, when it comes to beauty products there is not only one competitor. There is no product in the market which serves similar values to the customers. The constant growth in the temperature and the intolerable heat in the summer will make this product a buy-buy one. It will outperform, out maneuver and outcast competitors from similar sector.The product will keep its long lasting brand equity and through perpetual innovation it will hold it;s success.

Milliner Bangladesh: We must agree that Milliner is doing monopolistic and exclusive business in the body lotion market. Because mostly available body lotion manufactured by Milliner â€Å"Baseline†, â€Å"Dove† and â€Å"Fair and Lovely-body lotion† in the local market. Baseline Body Lotion: has gained the significant market share in lotion industry. It has several kinds of lotion to meet customer demand. Baseline Cocoa Radiant Baseline All Moisturizing Gel Baseline Essential Healing Lotion Among them Baseline All Moisturizing Gel is designed for Summer and it gives cooling and relief after sunburn. It is a great competitor for us.Fair & lovely Body promises to lighten dark skin and also qualified other features of a lotion. ACE Body Cooling Lotion will not lighten the dark skin as it is not fairness lotion. In summer cost of the people look for some sort of cool environment and comfortable feeling. So, our product will serve their purpose to good extend. Dove is currently offering three kind of body lotion. Essential Nourishment Go Fresh Nourishment Indulgent Nourishment Dove Body Lotion: Dove brought a solution that keeps skin refreshed and nourished all day.
