7. TARGET_
Women & Men
Clinique offers products for men and women of all ages, ethnicities, skin types and skin concerns.
Clinique targets mainly women ages 16-55. Clinique is able to target such a wide range of ages because of the
customer loyalty they have built over the years with their older customers.
Another reason the brand is able to reach such a diverse target market is due to the many skin types, concerns,
and conditions they address and create products for. This allows them to reach their target consumers of teens to
mature adults.
8. REAZON TO BELIEVE_
The history of Clinique Cosmetics stems from the idea that all women's skin is not created equal.
The brand understands that one product does not fix all skin-care need. It was the first company of its kind
that treated its customers like individuals and not as one unit.
“Founded on the philosophy that great skin can be created,
Clinique pioneered the dermatologist-developed cosmetics brand. Each beautifully crafted Clinique skin
care and make up product is allergy tested and 100% fragrance free-Crucial in a world where allergies
have been labeled the modern epidemic.”

11. 3 STEP CARE_
In 1968, with the introduction of the now world-
famous 3-Step Skin Care System – a daily cleansing,
exfoliating and moisturising routine – Clinique was
born. Just one year later Clinique opened its first
counter in the UK. It was the first ever dermatologist-
created, allergy-tested, 100% fragrance-free
collection of beauty products ever marketed.
In 1976 Clinique was also the first prestige cosmetics
company to recognise the different skin care needs
of men and to provide them with a practical,
approachable line of skin care – Skin Supplies for
Men.
12. DISTRIBUTION_
It sells its products principally through limited distribution channels to complement the images associated with
the brand.
These channels include points of sale consisting of upscale department stores, specialty retailers, upscale
perfumeries and pharmacies and prestige salons and spas. In addition, its products are sold in freestanding
Company-operated stores, its own and authorized retailer Websites, stores on cruise ships, direct response
television (DRTV), in-flight and duty-free shops.
Clinique is distributed through make up counters.
Clinique is also sold at beauty specialty stores such as Sephora and Ulta.
Clinique can also be purchased online at Clinique.com.br
13. STAFF AND EDUCATION _
Clinique Consultants are known for their superior knowledge and unparalleled customer service.
A lot of attention on personal selling.
Not only does it inform the consumer with a one on one experience, it also provides a positive company image
and brand loyalty.
Their uniform – chic white lab coats that evoke the companies ties to the medical and dematological
communities – exhibits those standards perfectly.
Highly trained, educated and entrenched in the Clinique Philosophy, Consultants are more than employees.
They are according to Clinique co-founder Carol Phillips, 'the keepers of the flame.'

15. MARKET POSITIONING_
PRESTIGE
Clinique addresses acne prone skin, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, redness, large pores, and hydration in all of their
makeup and skin care products.
Also create products and make up to specifically to help dry, very dry, dry combination, and oily skin types.
16. PACKAGING_
Clinique’s fonts, color, and packaging has remained consistently simple and the same over the years.
The most recognizable colors are the yellow and green, which the most popular moisturizers, cleansers, and make
up come in.
Some of the newer products are in silver, light pink, and white components. I believe silver goes great with all of the
new innovative dark spot correcting and anti-aging products.
The light pink and the white are simple and neat, just like Clinique has remained over the years.
The font is very recognizable because it has been the same for so long.
I believe if the brand changes the font it would hurt the company in the long run.
Clinique has a great brand recognition through the colors and fonts.

18. BRAND VOICE & SLOGAN_
THE MEDICAL APPROACH | CLINIQUE
Clinique was the company's answer to growing concerns women had about the chemicals and additives in
beauty products. It was (and still many of its products are) fragrance-free and hypoallergenic.
Makeup and beauty products could no longer make unfounded scientific claims. The industry was becoming
more and more regulated. But there was nothing stopping the brand from alluding to science.
Irving Penn, a famous fashion photographer, created the brand's iconic visual style of highlighting the product
packaging, not fresh-faced models.
The branded likened skin care to brushing your teeth, a position that made it the choice for women who care
about the health of their skin, not how they cover it up with products and makeup.
SLOGAN
• Allergy Tested. 100% Fragrance Free.
19. ONLINE & ELETRONIC PRESENCE_
Clinique was one of the first cosmetic companies to launch a website in 1996, and the first cosmetic company to
offer online shopping at their website http://www.clinique.com/ in 1998.
The website offers a convenient and simple way to purchase their wide range of products, including skincare
products, make-up and fragrances.
Clinique predicted that the number of women using the Internet and shopping online would increase in the
following years which is why they quickly reacted to this new trend and created an online store.
Clinique online store offers not only a fast and easy way to buy products, but also offers other services with the goal
to build and maintain relationships with customers.
20. RETAIL ACTIVITIES_
“By integrating digital technologies into the Clinique shopping experience, we are offering the consumer a
stimulating and socially modern way to connect with the brand,”said Lynne Greene, Global Brand President of
Clinique.
Clinique as a global leader in beauty, continues to drive consumer service innovation by introducing new digital
technologies at retail stores. Clinique becomes the first cosmetics brand to use the Apple iPad in-store as part of
a state-of-the-art, self-guided skin care diagnostic tool being rolled out at select counters nationwide.
Another innovation in retail life is Clinique Smart Bar powered by Microsoft Surface. Clinique is the first beauty
brand to use Microsoft Surface in-store. The Clinique Smart Bar, an oversized touch screen counter that can
detect objects and gestures using the embedded Microsoft Surface unit, was installed at Bloomingdale’s flagship
store at 59th Street in New York City.

22. #FACEFORWARD CAMPAIGN
Cosmetics companies Estee Lauder and Clinique both recently announced the appointment of social-media-savvy, Millennial
women to act as brand representatives — instead of the usual A-list Hollywood stars.!
Choosing up-and-coming bloggers, social activists and entrepreneurs as brand representatives signals an industry shift, with
established beauty companies trying to target a younger, more connected audience.
The campaign’s ambassadors serve as impressive examples of what young people can accomplish.
#START BETTER MANIFESTO
The #StartBetter video manifesto, something of a mini motivational speech, is the first product of another fresh start, Clinique's
relationship with digital shop 360i, which began late last year. The video generated 1.4 million views on YouTube and Facebook in
two months and mostly positive comments in social media.
It's enough to put #StartBetter among the top 100 beauty brand videos of all time, according to research firm Pixability.

28. BRAZIL MARKET SCENARIO_
While indicators are slowing, Brazil confirms its progress in the global beauty market. First global fragrance market,
the country takes the second place in sales of hair products and redefines the International gives China's sides.
Euromonitor and Mintel have reported on the next development levers become a leading country in the
international arena.
According to Euromonitor, despite a context of slowing growth, Brazil ranks 3rd in the world in all segments,
behind the United States and China.
Responsible for 1.8% of GDP and record an average growth of 10% per annum, personal hygiene, perfumery and
cosmetics (CT & F) is facing a number of challenges.
The Brazilian personal care industry represents more than 1.8% of the country’s GDP and 9.4% of the world’s
consumption. As far as Latin America is concerned, Brazil’s market share exceeds 53%. “Without a doubt, Brazil is
a major power in Latin America.

phenomenon in Brazil

Brazil project for exports from the cosmetics industry

BRAZIL MARKET SCENARIO_
31. THE PREMIUM IS GAINING GROUND_
Still dominated by mass, the Brazilian market is gradually moving towards the premium, according
to Euromonitor, thanks to sliding up sales of perfumes and care products.
Finally, direct selling is beginning to lose ground to the brands sold in stores, as illustrated by the
success of L'Occitane, one of the most beautiful growth of international brands in Brazil.

33. CLINIQUE BRAZIL_
After spending the last two years restructuring its operations in Brazil, Clinique is experiencing a period of expansion. The company's
sales grew 36% in the first half of this year. The percentage answered "exactly" the expectations of Fernanda Calvet, director of the
Brazilian branch of the brand since April. "We hope to continue at this pace," he said.
"We were studying, now we've found the model is the foot on the accelerator," Calvet said. For the director, two years ago, the
time was arriving in Brazil, understand the distribution, the Brazilian consumer, the distribution model and consolidating the stores.
When Clinique arrived in the country between 1997 and 1998, she settled in a kiosk in the mall Iguatemi. Now, she adds 63 ready for
sale in the country - between stores, service centers and perfumeries and may have others.
To grab a larger share of this total, the company has two focuses for the coming years: image and distribution. Clinique plan to
have a more aggressive advertising plan. Last year, for example, the company only launched a campaign. That she plans to
launch four.
In addition to Brazil was the first country in Latin America to receive the online sales operation of Clinique, last year, the company
included the country in research to develop new products. In this fiscal year, a line will be launched developed for Brazil, taking into
account the skin type of the Brazilian. Calvet says there is a deadline for the current strategy revenge, but says that "a new picture"
of the company in the country should be taken in 2015. (18 Aug. 2011)
