Aveeno Active Naturals is an organisation that originated from United States of
America. Recently, it has penetrated into New Zealand market. Aveeno is the organisation
that dealing to develop product formulations with new and existing natural ingredients that
are clinically proven to deliver real skin care benefits while leaving you with healthier-
looking and beautiful skin. So, the product that I would like to insist here is the skincare
product. Every single individual in New Zealand’s population which is about 4.4 million are
concern about their skincare. Skincare has become part of individual’s life here. With the
variety-changing climates, individual will demand more on skincare in future. This will
become a significant chance for Aveeno to pay full attention and at the same time promote
our product locally.
For Aveeno to be the best competitor in skincare market, we must use some analysis
tools such as TOWS and ‘perceptual mapping’.
TOWS analysis is used to aid in identifying the problems and opportunities of
Aveeno’s products:-
Threats -lower disposable income of individuals due to Global Financial Crisis, trend
of environmental awareness, direct competitors such as body shop, nivea,
l’oreal
Opportunities -allergy testing to improve skin sensitivity, doing research to improve it,
product differentiation compare to other competitors
Weaknesses -no seasonal skin care, less advertising, need to inventing more types of
products, not focusing on older age individual (above 40), not focusing on
men skincare, lack of brand awareness
Strengths -readily available - a lot of stockists in New Zealand, low prices,
environmental awareness in each product by not using animal testing, using
natural ingredients, focus on baby skincare.

Example of perceptual mapping :-
High Price
Lancome
Female Body Shop Male
Aveeno
Loreal
Nivea
Low Price
The problem that has been addressed by some individual in skincare market is men
also need to protect their skin. This indicates every brand or company needs to ensure the
supply of men’s skincare is available throughout New Zealand. Since men population in New
Zealand is increasing to almost 2.2 million, so Aveeno have to make a great improvement in
their research and development to be sure this golden opportunity is fully utilised. Besides, it
is essential for country like New Zealand to have ‘all seasons’ skincare. By knowing that all
cities in here is mild temperature, it is possible for us to try to make brilliant product which
can cover the mild temperature. The question here, no company has a solution for this kind of
problem. Sometimes when consumers use one product during summer, it cannot be used for
winter. So, it is avital defect towards consumer’s perception.
