Takeover of Maybelline in 1996 was a turning point which pushed the falling revenues of company upwards. Maybelline was a well established US brand that they took over and globalised and this turned out to b a huge success.
Their prime strategy is to enbrace new cultures while entering newer markets and promote products as per national culture and to acquire unknown local brands and give them a facelift. Aggressive marketing brings success to their new products.

They have a strategy to understand the local market and customer psychology before entering market and then launch the products that are economically affordable in the region as well as satisfy the customer needs.
Wondercurl’s success in Japan is a brilliant example that their strategy of analysing market before product launch is fruitful. This product helped asian women to flaunt their curled thick black eyelashes which otherwise looked very simple.
Loreal expanded its wings to indian market with a 5 point marketing strategy of understanding local needs,launching specific ranges, increasing distribution channels, modifying pricing strategy and reducing additional customer cost.
They believe in publicizing products through celebrities in the region which can effectively conveince people to buy their products. In india Katrina kaif sonam kapoor and aishwariya rai endorse their products.
Loreal is famous for its brand diversity with 23 different brands under its banner. They spend a fair 3% revenue on research and innovation per annum which is carried out at paris n new york centers.
