The Vineeta Singh-led firm plans to launch 14-22 SKUs in the hair care category, through
their latest acquisition ENN Beauty.
Makeup seller SUGAR Cosmetics is targeting Rs 300 crore in revenue by end of FY21-22,
compared to Rs 100 crore in FY2019-20.
SUGAR Cosmetics has expanded outside India, having a physical outlet in Russia and an
online presence in the United States. In FY22, SUGAR Cosmetics intends to increase its
offline standalone locations.
The brand, which was created in 2015, currently manages 70 outlets on its own, with
aspirations to increase that number to 100 by December.
The D2C brand expects to conclude this year (2021) with over two and a half times net
revenue compared to last year, owing to continued sales growth and the Christmas season
rush. According to some figures, 95 percent of trading in India still takes place offline.

SUGAR intends to use this to extend and enhance its retail base, as well as improve its retail
marketing and visual merchandising experience.
SUGAR Cosmetics opened five new brand-owned retail stores throughout the epidemic,
putting sanitation and safety first for its retail consumers.
To strengthen its D2C channels, the firm is focusing on expanding its mobile app, which has
already had 800,000 app installations in less than a year.

director, manager or vice president of marketing might be at the helm.
• The details differ between industries, but at its most basic marketing is how
businesses reach prospective customers and communicate the unique benefits of a
product or service. It encompasses all the activities that companies undertake to
promote, sell, and distribute that product or service.
• Marketing is a process designed to plan, price, promote and distribute want satisfying
products and service. If covers three main activities—concentration, dispersion and
equalization. Marketing confines itself to channels of distribution, marketing
functions, flow of goods and management.
Creating the marketing brief is key when developing the new product as it is the starting point
of every project. The more detailed it is, the easiest it will be to use it.
Page 31 of 105
Including in the marketing brief are the product and packaging requirements such as the
product category, desired function, color, odor, texture, size, etc.
Once it is approved, it can be shared with other departments to start the product development.

SUGAR Cosmetics
Page 32 of 105
The cosmetics brand has recently clocked a turnover over Rs 100 crore and is reportedly
already giving tough competition to market leaders in the color cosmetics category in India.
Backed by the trust of marquee investors and the love of millions of makeup enthusiasts,
SUGAR Cosmetics is rapidly scaling its physical presence with 770+ retail outlets as of early
2019, driven by a mission of reaching the doorstep of every makeup user in the country.
Over the year, the company has expanded its retail presence at an aggressive pace from 770+
retail touchpoints which include self-operated kiosks, general trade stores, shop-in-shops in
channel partners like Lifestyle, Shopper Stop, Central, Pantaloons etc. and also EBOs.
We currently have 3 standalone EBOs. We opened our first EBO in Kolkata in Feb this year
Within 2 months we opened our 2nd EBO in Bangalore and have opened our third EBO in
Gurugram recently. We are slated to officially launch our next EBO in Hyderabad soon.

Reason for selecting the product
• Consider Reputable Brands. With the many brands available in the market, you can
get overwhelmed and buy products that will harm rather than benefit your skin.
• Consider Price.
Page 35 of 105
PERMISSION AND LICENSING
• Cosmetics market in India is growing at a rapid pace. The demand for cosmetics
products has been growing, particularly in urban centers owing to several factors such
as greater purchasing power because of higher incomes, increasing influence of
western culture, desire to look better and more attractive etc.
• Cosmetics is also a sector that needs to be strictly regulated. Presently the governing
legislation in case of cosmetics in India is the Drugs & Cosmetics Act, 1940 which
defines a ‘cosmetic’ as “any article intended to be rubbed, poured, sprinkled or
sprayed on, or introduced into, or otherwise applied to, human body or any part
Page 36 of 105
thereof for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the
appearance, and includes any article intended for use as a component of cosmetic.”
• The procedure to be followed in order to manufacture cosmetics in India has been laid
down under the Drugs and Cosmetics Rules, 1945. Schedule M-II classifies cosmetics
into 11 broad product categories: 1) Powders, 2) Creams, lotions, emulsions, pastes,
cleansing milks, shampoos, pomade, brilliantine, shaving creams, Hai roils etc., 3)
Nail Polishes and Nail Lacquers, 4) Lipsticks & Lip Gloss etc., 5) Depilatories, 6)
Preparations used for eyes, 7) Aerosol, 8) Alcoholic Fragrance Solutions (Cologne),
9) Hair Dyes, 10) Tooth Powders and Tooth Pastes etc., 11) Toilet Soaps.

BRANDING
• In 2012, Kaushik Mukherjee and Vineeta Singh founded FAB BAG, a beauty
subscription business. For Rs. 599 a month they would send subscribers a ‘surprise’
beauty box with a mix of five products across makeup, skincare, bath and body,
haircare and fragrances. Sourced globally, these products were mostly new and
unknown brands.
• A few months into the business, the founders noticed an interesting trend: Each time
their 18–25-year-old customers received a box with a makeup product, positive
reviews would soar. People would also write in asking if they could buy the makeup
product separately.
Page 38 of 105
• India’s beauty industry is estimated to cross US$8 billion by 2021. There are a large
number of brands, both established and new, that address the skin and hair care
segments. The color cosmetics industry, in contrast, was relatively stagnant in 2015.
On one end of the price spectrum were high-volume, mass players like Lakme and
Maybelline and on the other, luxurious, high-ticket brands like Mac and Estee Lauder.
As a reference point, lipsticks from Lakme and Maybelline are priced at Rs. 250-Rs.
350, while Mac lipsticks start at Rs.1000.
• “If you wanted to upgrade from the mass brands, but didn’t have the pockets for the
luxury brands,” says Mukherjee, “there was very little choice in the market.”
• Meanwhile, FAB BAG had reached fifteen thousand subscribers by 2015, but was
slowing down. It was clear that the beauty subscription was not going to scale the way
the founders had hoped. Mukherjee and Singh decided to take the plunge and launch
SUGAR Cosmetics, a makeup brand aimed at 18–25-year-old, an audience they felt
was underserved by existing players.
Page 39 of 105
The company's logo is made up of a wordmark with an emblem on the left, which serves as
the brand's signifier and appears on all of the company's cosmetics. Sugar Cosmetics' slogan
says, “Rule the World, One Look At a Time!!!”
Cosmetics are products designed to cleanse, protect and change the appearance of external
parts of our bodies. The key ingredients present in most cosmetics include water, emulsifiers,
preservatives, thickeners, moisturizers, colors and fragrances.
Features:

how to best improve or changes its products and services.
Reviews:
1. it's a beautiful rusty color that you will fall in love with. the texture is so nice and its
highly pigmented and transfer proof. You get such an amazing lipstick in such a low
price. Must try.
2. I think this is the best one I've ever had. It is literally smudge proof, apply it once and
you're good for the day. Also, this shade is so amusing, the perfect match of mauve
and brown. It's perfect.
3. Beautiful liquid lipstick. If you are in search of a long-lasting budget lipstick, then
smudge me not by sugar so a perfect option. Its super pigmented. One swipe is
enough for the color to shine. I got the shade brink of pink. It's a dark pink with a red
undertone. Lipstick once applied lasts up to 5,6hours. Drinking won't smudge this.
Eating a full meal might ruin the lipstick a bit. One negative is that its super drying.
You have to apply a moisturizer or Vaseline before applying. If your lips are crusty
then it will crease. All in all I am super happy with this lipstick. Definitely will
purchase more colors of this range.

INTANGIBILITY
Page 44 of 105
• In marketing services, intangibility means the inability of a consumer to presses the
value of using a service. Unlike a physical product, a service cannot be seen, tasted,
felt, heard, or smelled prior to its purchase.
ASSOCIATED ATTRIBUTES
• A product attribute is a characteristic that defines a particular product and will affect a
consumer's purchase decision. Product attributes can be tangible (or physical in
nature) or intangible (or not physical in nature).
PRICING
Page 45 of 105
• The selling price of a product or service is the seller's final price, i.e., how much the
customer pays for something. The exchange can be for a product or service in a
certain quantity, weight, or measure. It is one of the most important factors for a
company to determine.
Cosmetics are in the lifestyle and brand business, therefore pricing not only determines the
profit you make when considering costs and customer preferences, but the price can suggest
quality or exclusiveness of a cosmetic brand.
People respond emotionally to brands which is why customers are willing to pay a higher
price for certain branding or characteristics regardless of the markup price.
Price optimization for cosmetics brands is an area where Price Beam has sustained
experience and expertise
Consumer goods companies benefit from price optimization more than any other industry,
but at the same time, it is often an incredibly challenging task
Page 46 of 105
Cosmetic brands are being increasingly transparent about costs, due to an increase in demand
for transparency from customers in terms of product costs and ingredients, and this leads to a
greater need to find the optimal price for your cosmetic brand products
If you need to price a product (or service) in a new market, it makes all the difference in the
world if you understand customers' willingness-to-pay.
Demand / WFP curves like the ones above, show the optimal price point where the curve
peaks. In this example, the best price to optimize quantity is 10, whereas the optimal price for
optimizing revenue is 15.
In the old days when research was expensive, this could be difficult to get through a
corporate approval if launching in many markets at once.
These days, with cost-effective research options from e.g., Price Beam, the cost of getting
these crucial insights should no longer be an issue.
PACKAGING
Page 47 of 105
• Some research on current products in the market revealed a certain “sameness” in the
packaging of most brands in the premium segment. All of them were highly
sophisticated and bland. We created a distinct look for Sugar using the triangulated
illustration style. It unified all the products and created a memorable visual identity
for the products.
• here are multiple reasons why care must be put into cosmetic containers. Not only
must they protect the product, they need to provide conveniences for vendors and
ultimately consumers.
• The container must also contain labels that legibly display basic information about the
product and the manufacturer. These labels include contact information, ingredients,
expiration dates, warnings and instructions. Labels not only identify products and
their origins; they help provide consumers with the facts that cannot be confusing or
misleading.
• Ideally, the container is made of durable material to give the product a long shelf life.
It must last even longer through consumer use. The frequent opening and closing of
the container can take a toll on its condition over time. Ultimately, the container must
protect the product to the degree that it remains a safe product for human
consumption. In other words, the container must shield the product from dirt, dust and
germs.
Page 48 of 105
• The aesthetics of the container are considered extremely important since cosmetic
products are mainly sold on brand image. Since cosmetic products are not considered
medicine or survival products, the marketing of cosmetics depends heavily on
associating brand awareness with emotion. The container must convey emotions
about how the product will improve one's appearance and attitude. Many times,
cosmetics are repackaged and rebranded to help give them more market visibility
CHANNEL DISTRIBUTION
Page 49 of 105
• The distribution channels of cosmetic product include supermarkets, pharmacy &
drug stores, department stores, direct selling, specialty stores, internet retailing,
beauty salons, and others.
• There are two types of distribution for beauty care: traditional and direct. Traditional
distribution includes distributors, sales consultants, and independent sales reps.
• The cosmetics industry has been segmented based on category, gender, distribution
channel, and region.
• Since category, the market is divided into skin and sun care products, hair care
products, deodorants & fragrances, and makeup & color cosmetics.
• Distribution channels such as supermarkets, department stores, etc., offer a wide array
of cosmetic products and provide a convenient medium for selection of the desired
product.
WEALTH
Page 50 of 105
WEALTH OF SUGAR COSMETICS
Wealth measures the value of all the assets of worth owned by a person, community,
company, or country. Wealth is determined by taking the total market value of all physical
and intangible assets owned, then subtracting all debts.
Page 51 of 105
Typically, beauty and cosmetics stores gain a handful of profit on all the products- margins
usually range from 20% to around 60-70%. So, the revenue you would be making will be
based on sales made by you monthly and the expenses that you incur while running the
business.
In the initial years of product launch, sugar cosmetics sale was about Rs 2 crore a year and it
is more than 2 crore per day. Sugar cosmetics value is more than 750 crores after getting
funding from venture led by Elevation Capital. Vineeta Singh's net worth is approx. $8
million.
Today SUGAR is one of the most remarkable brands in India. In the seven years of the life of
this brand, it has had several offline and online stores. The revenue collected by the company
is divided into three parts – 45% online stores, 45% offline stores, and 10% in the

Prior to founding Instagram, Kevin was part of the startup Ode, which later became Twitter,
and spent two years at Google working on products like Gmail and Google Reader.
Instagram is a free, online photo-sharing application and social network platform that was
acquired by Facebook in 2012.
Instagram allows users to edit and upload photos and short videos through a mobile app.
Unlike Facebook, which relies on both text and pictures, or Twitter, which relies on text
alone, Instagram's sole purpose is to enable users to share images or videos with their
audience.

roll.

Instagram Head Adam Mosseri took to his Twitter account to reveal the three new features.
The company has already started rolling out these new features for its users.
BENEFITS
Page 60 of 105
Instagram's primary advantage over other social media platforms is its visual nature.
If you have a business that benefits from the design of your product or if you have a service
that has a visibly noticeable end result, Instagram is the best platform to showcase that
content.

While Facebook enables a lot more informational or somehow professional platform that can
cater to a large number of audiences with different expectations.

social media campaigns on the platforms that are best for their business.

their marketing strategies.

Page 62 of 105
WHICH IS BETTER
This makes Instagram better for influencer marketing and free exposure; users on Instagram
more often sign on actively looking for product recommendations, as opposed to Facebook
where they actively ignore them. Instagram's other advantage is customer engagement.
Given that it was a mobile-only platform for many years, and its narrower array of content
types, it's no surprise that Instagram is a better mobile experience than Facebook.
Facebook has come a long, long way in this regard, but Instagram is made for the phone,
period.
Instagram's primary advantage over other social media platforms is its visual nature.
If you have a business that benefits from the design of your product or if you have a service
that has a visibly noticeable end result, Instagram is the best platform to showcase that
content.
Instagram is consistently staying ahead of the curve to remain one of the most effective forms
of social media for businesses.
There are lots of reasons we love using Instagram to share what's new at Parkway Digital.

These same reasons make Instagram the best social media for other brands too.

which are generated are intended to reflect the behavior of that population.

Data collections is the methodological process of gathering information about a specific
subject, its crucial to ensure your data is complete during the collection phase and that’s it
collected legally and ethically. If not, your analysis won't be accurate and could have far
reaching consequences.
• Second-party data, which is data shared by another organization about its customers
(or its first-party data).
Page 70 of 105
• Third- party data, which is data that’s been aggregated and rented or sold by
organizations that don’t have a connection to your company or users.
Before collecting data, there are several factors you need to define:
1.SURVEYS:
Surveys are physical or digital questionnaires that gather information that gather both
qualitative and quantitative data from subjects. One situation in which you might conduct a
survey is gathering attendance feedback after an event. This can provide sense of what
attendees enjoyed, what they wish was different, and areas you can improve or save money
on during your next event for a similar audience.
• Collection bias: It can be easy to accidentally write survey questions with a biased
lean. Watch out for this when creating questions to ensure your subjects answer
honestly and aren't swayed by your wording.
• Subject bias: Because your subjects know their responses will be read by you, their
answers may be biased towards what seems socially acceptable. For this reason,
consider pairing survey data with behavioral data from other collection methods to get
the full picture.
2 Transactional Tracking
• Each time your customers make a purchase, tracking that data can allow you to make
decisions about targeted marketing efforts and understand your customer base better.
• Often, e-commerce and point-of-sale platforms allow you to store data as soon as its
generated, making this is a seamless data collection method that can pay off in the
form of customer insights.
