a lifestyle that champions not only personal well-being but also a deep sense of
environmental responsibility. It is a lifestyle that ensures both the individual's health
and the well-being of our cherished planet. In summary, this slogan epitomizes our
overarching aspiration: to transcend the mere provision of exceptional products and to

II. Strategic contest


1. Business Strategy
Our strategic vision is more than a roadmap for our business; it's a commitment to
transforming the way we interact with the world and the way our customers experience
our products. At the heart of this vision is Herb's deep-rooted desire to provide
customers with something more than mere consumer goods. It's a mission to offer an
elevated and ethical lifestyle that transcends the ordinary.

Imagine a world where every product you encounter is a testament to the purity of
nature. Herb envisions a future where customers can have complete confidence that
every item, they purchase is crafted from ingredients that are 100% natural and free
from harmful chemicals. In a marketplace where synthetic additives and artificial

about:blank 7/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

substances often dominate, Herb's unwavering commitment to all-natural ingredients


becomes a beacon of authenticity and trustworthiness.

When you choose a product from Herb, you're not just making a purchase; you're
entering a partnership with a brand that shares your values. Each item is a testament to
Herb's dedication to providing consumers with wholesome and beneficial choices. Our
customers aren't merely consumers; they're individuals on a journey towards a lifestyle
that embodies health, sustainability, and ethical choices.

Our strategy goes far beyond the realm of business. It's a catalyst for change, aiming
to educate and inspire people to embrace a greener, healthier way of life. We recognize
the vital importance of environmental sustainability and personal wellness. Through our
products, we aim to instill in our customers a sense of responsibility towards the
environment and their own health. Every purchase, therefore, becomes a conscious
decision, an affirmation of one's commitment to a sustainable and health-conscious
lifestyle.

What Herb offers isn't just a product; it's an opportunity to join a movement, to be
part of a community that values purity, authenticity, and the welfare of our planet. Our
strategic blueprint is a comprehensive vision that extends beyond profit margins. It
encompasses a profound commitment to fostering a world where customers can rely on
products that are both beneficial and responsible.

We envision a community of consumers who not only appreciate the quality of our
offerings but also embrace the values and lifestyle we promote. It's a lifestyle that
resonates with the harmony of nature and contributes to a healthier, more sustainable
future. In essence, Herb's strategy is more than just a business plan; it's a transformative
force. It challenges the way people think about their choices and the impact they have
on the world, and it empowers them to make conscious decisions for themselves and
future generations.

a momentous and highly promising opportunity unveiled itself, presenting us with the

about:blank 8/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

extraordinary potential to catapult our overarching strategy to new heights. This


newfound opportunity, stemming from the clarity and depth of Herb's strategic

These advantages help our products stand out and attract customers more than
competitors' products.

3. The reason for remaking the brand's name.


We decided to rebrand from the original supplier's name for several important
reasons. In the era of intense competition and a rapidly evolving business environment,
a rebrand can yield substantial benefits.

The primary reason behind this decision is to establish a unique and distinctive
reputation. The name "Herb" carries a message of natural, healthy, and dedicated care
for both health and the environment. It ingrains in customers' minds an impression of
safety and dedication to high-quality products and services. This not only helps create
a robust brand but also fosters trust from customers.

Another reason is to ensure differentiation and uniqueness in a highly competitive


market. The original supplier's brand name might easily get lost or confused among
other brands. By choosing the name "Herb," we set ourselves apart and made it easy for
customers to recognize and remember us.

Additionally, using the name "Herb" is closely tied to the message and values we
wish to convey to our customers. It signifies a deep respect for nature and a commitment
to chemical-free, high-quality products. It equates to excellence and reliability, which
we proudly offer to our customers.

Although the decision to rebrand is not an easy one, we believe it has brought and
continues to bring substantial benefits, from building a strong brand to establishing trust
and easy recognition from our customers. This demonstrates that in a rapidly changing
business world, being open to change can lead to significant opportunities and
advantages.

III. The market environment for the product


1. Industry and competitive activities
1.1. Pestel

6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

1.1.1. Politic

Vietnam, officially known as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, operates under


a one-party socialist republic framework where the General Secretary of the Communist
Party of Vietnam is the Party leader and the head of the Politburo, holding the highest
position in the one-party system.

Political Structure The political structure of Vietnam is characterized by a single


party, the Communist Party of Vietnam (CPV), which plays a dominant role in defining
the country's political landscape. The CPV's influence extends to all aspects of political,
social, and economic life. The People’s Army of Vietnam also has significant influence
in the political system.

The country's political stability is maintained through the CPV's dominance, but
its performance on rights and other measures of governance remains poor. Freedom of
expression, opinion, and speech are guaranteed in the constitution but are not properly
implemented in practice. Civil society activists are often and perhaps increasingly
harassed and strictly monitored by the public security force.

Political Leadership in January 2021, the CPV held its 13th congress and elected
a new 200-member Central Committee and an 18-member Politburo. The twice re-
elected CPV secretary-general, Nguyen Phu Trong, has increased his power and
influence, enabling him to put his stamp on the party. Despite his health and age, Trong
continues to consolidate his power and is expected to remain in power until 2026.

Anti-Corruption Campaign Since 2013, and especially from 2016 to the present,
the anti-corruption campaign led by Trong, which has also at times displayed elements
of a political purge, has achieved remarkable results. Under his leadership, the CPV has
intensified party discipline through a resolution aimed at rectifying the ethics and
lifestyle of its party members.

International Relations Vietnam has established strategic partnerships with


Japan, China, India, Russia, and other countries. The United States and Vietnam agreed
on a “comprehensive strategic partner” in 2023 that is strategic in all but name,

11

about:blank 14/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

including cooperation on economic, security, educational, cultural, and war legacy


issues.

Political Challenges Vietnam faces several political challenges, including


maritime security challenges in the East (South China) Sea and disputes over
management of the Mekong River. The adoption of the Law on Cybersecurity in 2020
is considered a further step back in freedom of speech and freedom of information.

In conclusion, while Vietnam's political structure provides stability, the


dominance of a single party and restrictions on freedom of speech pose challenges. The
country's political landscape is shaped by the CPV's leadership, its anti-corruption
campaign, and its international relations. However, ongoing political challenges need
to be addressed to ensure the country's continued political stability and growth.

1.1.2. Legal

Vietnam, officially known as the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, operates under


a socialist-oriented market economy, which has been integrating into the global
economy. The government encourages foreign investment and has established
economic zones offering incentives for investors. However, it's important to note that
all businesses must comply with local and national laws, including those related to
product safety and quality.

Legal Framework The main chemical law in Vietnam is the Chemical Law
issued in November 2007. It comprehensively controls chemicals in the country and is
supported by various decrees and ministerial circulars. The Law on Chemicals covers
the entire life cycle of chemicals such as handling of chemicals, formulation of a
chemical industry master plan, production and trade of chemicals, transportation, and
storage of hazardous chemicals, import and export of chemicals, disposal of chemicals,
classification and labeling of chemicals, packaging of chemicals, response to incidents,
registration of new chemicals, environmental protection, and state’s responsibilities.

Regulations for Natural and Chemical-Free Products For natural and chemical-
free products, you need to ensure that they do not contain any substances that are
restricted or banned. The Law on Chemicals classifies hazardous chemicals by their

12

about:blank 15/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

physical properties, according to the GHS classification principals. The Law defines the
term “new chemical” as” a chemical not yet listed in the national chemical inventory or
foreign chemical inventories recognized by Vietnamese competent state agencies.

Regulations for Selling Products Traders that wish to import or export goods
subject to import or export permits must obtain permits of related ministries or sectors.
Imports and exports must comply with relevant regulations on quarantine, food safety,
and quality standards and regulations, and must be inspected by competent and
appropriate agencies before customs clearance.

Legal Market in Vietnam Vietnam's legal market is fast developing. Many


international investors have taken the opportunity to reassess the global market, trying
to capture opportunities as quickly as possible after coming out on the other side of the
pandemic. Many foreign investors continue to show strong interest in the Southeast
Asian region, and particularly Vietnam in recent years. Vietnam's economy is indeed
on the rise, it has expanded by 5.03% in Q1 of 2022 in comparison to the same of year
of 2021, according to General Statistics Office of Vietnam.

Legal Requirements for Selling Shampoo, Shower Gel, and Pineapple Rice
Paper Each product is different and not all products require all the steps, so make sure
you research your niche to find what is suited to your creations. A Cosmetic Product
Safety Report (CPSR) is required for any cosmetic product that comes into contact with
the skin. You need to establish a Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) to ensure your
products are always safe and manufactured in a professional and hygienic manner. Keep
a Product Information File (PIF). This is a record of your product and latest batch
produced, should it be requested by the authorities or the public. Give every product
batch you produce a unique batch code. This means keeping full records in a
manufacturing log of everything you make and the ingredients used. Label your
products correctly. This is imperative, as customers need to know exactly what's in a
product. Notify the Cosmetic Products Notification Portal (CPNP). This is a database
for the purposes of market surveillance, analysis, evaluation and consumer information.
Get the right insurance. Public liability is usually required.

1.1.3. Economy

Vietnam, located in Southeast Asia, is known for its bustling cities, rich cultural
heritage, and thriving economy. The country has been experiencing significant
economic growth over the past few years, thanks to its robust manufacturing sector,
resilient labor force, and favorable trade balance. This report provides an in-depth
analysis of Vietnam's economy in 2022 and projections for 2023, focusing on key
economic indicators such as GDP growth, trade balance, labor force, unemployment
rate, and inflation rate.

GDP Growth

In 2022, Vietnam's economy experienced a strong rebound, with GDP growth


reaching 8.0 percent, exceeding its average rates of 7.1 percent from 2016 to 2019. This
growth was partly due to a low base effect, driven by a rebound in domestic private
consumption following COVID-19 and solid performance in export-oriented
manufacturing.

Looking ahead to 2023, Vietnam's economic growth is projected to ease to 6.3


percent. This slowdown is expected due to the moderation of domestic demand and
exports. However, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) forecasts a slightly lower GDP
growth rate of 5.8 percent.

Trade Balance

In 2022, Vietnam recorded a trade surplus of around 12.09 billion U.S. dollars,
with total export and import value standing at about 732 billion USD. Exports increased
10.5% to about 371.5 billion USD, surpassing the target of 8% set by the National
Assembly and the Government.

For 2023, the trade balance data is not yet fully available. However, in the first
quarter of 2023, Vietnam registered a trade surplus of 3.6 billion USD. The trade
balance for the rest of the year will depend on various factors, including global
economic conditions, domestic production, and international trade policies.

14

about:blank 17/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

Labor Force

Vietnam's labor force is one of its most significant assets, contributing to its
economic development. In 2022, the labor force aged 15 and above was estimated at
51.6 million people, an increase of more than 0.4 million people compared to Q1/2022,
and an increase by nearly 0.6 million people over the same period las t year.

In the first quarter of 2023, the labor force aged 15 and above was estimated at
52.2 million people, showing a steady increase. The labor force in the second quarter of
2023 was estimated at 52.3 million people, an increase of 107.1 thousand people
compared to the previous quarter and an increase of 698.2 thousand people over the
same period last year.

Unemployment Rate

In 2022, Vietnam's unemployment rate was 1.92%, a 0.46% decline from 2021.
This low unemployment rate reflects the resilience of Vietnam's labor market and its
ability to create jobs for its growing population.

In 2023, the unemployment rate in Vietnam increased to 2.30 percent in the


second quarter from 2.25 percent in the first quarter. Despite this slight increase,
Vietnam's unemployment rate remains relatively low compared to other countries,
indicating a healthy labor market.

Inflation Rate

In 2022, Vietnam's inflation rate was projected to average 3.8 percent over the
year. This rate is within the acceptable range for most economies and indicates a
relatively stable price level in the country.

For 2023, the inflation rate is projected to remain stable. The World Bank
forecasts an inflation rate of 3.8 percent, while the ADB predicts a slightly higher rate
of 4.5 percent.

Overall, Vietnam's economy demonstrated resilience and robust growth in 2022,


driven by strong domestic consumption, export-oriented manufacturing, and a healthy
labor market. While the GDP growth rate is expected to moderate in 2023, the outlook

15

about:blank 18/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

remains positive. The country's trade balance is likely to remain favorable, and the labor
market is expected to continue to grow. However, potential challenges such as global
economic uncertainties and domestic inflation need to be monitored closely. These
factors underline the importance of prudent economic management and policy
responses to ensure continued economic growth and stability.

1.1.4. Technology

In 2022, the production volume of shampoo and shower gel in Vietnam


amounted to about 65.1 thousand metric tons. The manufacturing process involves
making powder, rolling, and drying. However, specific details about the manufacturing
technology used in 2023 are not readily available.

The production of shower gel involves similar processes to shampoo. In 2023,


the revenue in the Shower & Bath market in Vietnam was projected to be US$174.90m.
However, specific details about the manufacturing technology used in 2023 are not
readily available.

Rice paper production in Vietnam involves making powder, rolling, and drying.
In 2023, Vietnamese farmers started using high-tech sensors and water pumps to help
reduce the amount of water needed to grow rice. This technology could potentially be
applied to the production of pineapple rice paper.

Information Systems for Product Management

In 2023, Product Information Management (PIM) systems were increasingly


being used by businesses in Vietnam. PIM systems centralize and manage a business's

1.1.5. Social

Vietnam is a country rich in culture and tradition. The Vietnamese people have
a deep respect for their ancestors and often practice ancestor worship. Many homes in
Vietnam have an altar where they make offerings and pray. Martial arts are also
extremely popular, wi th various forms being taught and practiced throughout the
country.

In terms of religion, Vietnamese beliefs center around three systems: Buddhism,


Taoism, and Confucianism. However, many citizens believe in folk tales and primarily
worship for guidance. Spirits are also of great importance to the Vietnamese people.

The life expectancy in Vietnam in 2022 was 75.67 years. This is expected to
increase slightly in 2023.

In terms of occupation, the largest sector in Vietnam is agriculture, forestry, and


fishing, employing almost 14 million people in 2022. The manufacturing industry is the
second largest, employing approximately 11.8 million people.

The average monthly income per capita in Vietnam in 2022 was approximately
4.7 million Vietnamese Dong. This is expected to increase slightly in 2023.

In 2022, the gender distribution in Vietnam was almost equal, with 49.86 million
females and 49.6 million males.

Vietnamese consumers have shown a growing interest in natural and organic


products. This trend is driven by a variety of factors, including increasing health
consciousness, environmental concerns, and a desire for high-quality products.

In the context of personal care products like shampoo and shower gel, consumers
are increasingly seeking out products that are free from synthetic chemicals. This is part
of a broader trend towards "clean" beauty products, which are perceived to be safer and
more environmentally friendly.

As for food products like pineapple rice paper, Vietnamese consumers have
shown a preference for fresh, locally sourced ingredients. This is reflected in the

17

6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

popularity of wet markets, where consumers can purchase fresh produce directly from
farmers.

In terms of consumer behavior, Vietnamese consumers are generally confident


about the country's ability to recover from the pandemic. This confidence is reflected in
their spending habits, with a significant portion of household income being spent on
food and beverage consumption. The most significant change in consumer behavior in
recent years has been the shift towards digitalization. This has been driven by the
COVID-19 pandemic, which has accelerated the adoption of digital tools for shopping
and other aspects of daily life.

Consumer behavior in Vietnam is also rapidly changing. The rise of digital wallets and
non-cash payments, as well as the expansion of wholesale business-to-business (B2B)
e-commerce, are two emerging trends that retailers should keep an eye on. The internet
economy, valued at US$21 billion, is shifting consumer priorities. Vietnam’s digital
society and media are bringing the worldview of the digital generation (aged 16-29)
across urban and rural society even closer.

In conclusion, understanding these aspects of Vietnamese culture, religion, life


expectancy, occupation, income, gender, habits of using natural, non-chemical
ingredients, and consumer behavior can provide valuable insights for your business as
you prepare to sell your products in the Ho Chi Minh City market. It's important to
consider these factors when developing your marketing and sales strategies to ensure
they align with the values and needs of your target audience.

more than 330,000 square kilometers. The country has the shape of an "S" and lies
entirely in the tropical region, between latitudes 8°02' - 23°23'N, and longitudes 102º
08' - 109º 28'E. It is situated in both the eastern and northern hemispheres. The nation

South China Sea. It borders China in the north, it has a long border with Laos, and it
borders Cambodia in the southwest.

Climate

Vietnam experiences a monsoon-influenced climate typical of mainland


Southeast Asia. The diverse topography and long latitude span lead to climatic
conditions varying significantly between regions. The northern region experiences a
monsoonal and warm temperate climate with four distinct seasons, while in more
southern areas, the climate is tropical monsoon with only two seasons (rainy and dry).

Weather

In 2022, the weather in Vietnam varied greatly depending on the region and time
of year. In Northern Vietnam, the weather from December to March was cool to cold,
misty, and cloudy. From April to June, it was warm to hot with clear skies and sunny.
From June to August, it was stormy, hot, and humid. From September to November, it
was a mix of sun and clouds, warm to cool.

As for 2023, the weather is expected to follow a similar pattern. However, it's important
to note that Vietnam's weather can be unpredictable, and actual conditions may vary.

Environmental Protection

In 2022, Vietnam approved a long-term strategy on environmental protection,


considering environmental degradation and climate change. The strategy proposed that
Vietnam shift its development paradigm by incorporating two critical pathways – a
resilient pathway and a decarbonizing pathway – that will help the country balance its
development goals with increasing climate risks.

In 2023, Vietnam continued its efforts in environmental protection. However,


there were concerns about the enforcement of environmental laws and the treatment of
environmental activists. Despite these challenges, Vietnam remained committed to
achieving its environmental goals and fulfilling its international commitments on
climate change.

In conclusion, understanding the environmental context of Vietnam is crucial for


businesses planning to introduce new products to the market. This knowledge can help
in making informed decisions about product formulation, packaging, marketing, and
distribution strategies. It's also important to stay updated on the latest environmental
policies and trends in Vietnam to ensure business practices are sustainable and
compliant with local regulations.

1.2. Five Forces


1.2.1. Competitive Rivalry

Currently, Herb is facing competition from products in the same industry -


"healthy foods". We can mention a number of competitors that are creating strong
competitive pressure for Herb, including: HEALTH - healthy living, Happy sweets -
Happy life, "Lanh", Cereals, Dieu Lanh, Heart-Healthy Homestead. In the future, the
"healthy food" market will continue to expand and develop, leading to increased
competition. That's why Herb will face fierce competition in his business. Although
there are differences in certain products, most of the above foods are aimed at being
good for customers' health, without preservatives or additives.

1.2.2. Threat of substitutes

Substitute products are products that can replace other products that have
similarities in value, uses, and practical benefits. Most of the time, alternative products
are often diverse and of good quality. Examples of products: biscotti, nougat, vegetarian
food, dry yogurt, cashews, oats, etc. One of them is the Cerealsé brand - one of Herb's
big competitors. Because today's young people prefer foods like granola and yogurt,
because those are products, they are familiar with.

Besides, Herb also has to deal with vegetarian food brands such as 3-day vegan
meal plan. To solve these problems, Herb has provided a number of other products such
as shampoo and shower gel derived from pure natural ingredients to serve the
increasingly diverse needs of customers.

1.2.3. Bargaining power of buyers

20

about:blank 23/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

Besides Herb, consumers today have many other choices such as healthy living,
Breakfast Nourish, Cereals, etc. This makes it difficult for Herb to increase the price of
its products, because Herb's products is a new product - pineapple rice paper is not well
known to consumers and has not yet gained their trust in the product, so if the price
increases, customers will switch to using products they are familiar with, or be pressured
by them. Therefore, the bargaining power of customers in Herb's 5 competitive forces
model is very high.

1.2.4. Bargaining power of suppliers

Herb's products include pineapple rice paper, shampoo, and shower gel derived
from pure natural ingredients. For the product "Pineapple rice paper", because this is a
new product, there is only 1 supplier currently, this leads to pressure and difficulties for
Herb without any bargaining power. trademark.

For shampoo and shower gel products derived from pure natural ingredients,
because this is a product with many suppliers, it will limit the bargaining power of
suppliers, which brings Advantage for Herb by reducing the influence of each supplier.

1.2.5. Threat of new entrants

Potential competitors to Herb such as vegetarian food brands, this is one of the
foods that people increasingly love and support, such as brands like Traditional and
nutritious, 4-day vegan meal plan. These brands will pose a significant "threat" to Herb.
Therefore, the threat from potential competitors to Herb is quite high.

In summary, Herb's pricing strategy at the Green Living event is designed to balance
providing true value to customers and driving consumption. We commit to delivering
high-quality products at reasonable prices, while also building long-term relationships
with customers through intelligent pricing and marketing strategies, laying the
foundation for a natural and green lifestyle.

3. Promotional plans and programs to drive demand.


The following are specific promotions that Herb has proposed:

Continuous discounts (reduced by 55k son Moiem 330k) attract customers to enter
the booth. It helps to reduce the price pressure, because its price is quite high, providing
customers with the opportunity to buy products at more attractive prices.

On the first day, when buying 2 random shower gels, reduce the fish soap by 10%.
This permanence encourages buying diversification and buying more products. By
combining two products (shampoo and bath lotion), customers can get a 10% discount
on the third product (fish soap).

When the price of shower gel drops by 20% the next day, buy 2 shampoo with any
fragrance. This is a way to encourage customers to buy more products and take
advantage of the discount on by-products (bath products). This permanent advice can
also help customers try shampoos with different smells.

On the third day of sale, Herb provided a 20% reduction program to remove dead
lip cells with Castrol when buying two kinds of scented bath creams. Similar to the
second day, this promotion encourages the purchase of more products and offers
discounts on by-products (Caster Street). On this day of customers at the same time, it
encourages the purchase of bath milk with different smells, so that customers can
experience diversity.

On the last day, Combo took two milk baths more than two pineapple jam cakes.
This permanent promotion creates an attractive portfolio when customers buy many
products. Adding pineapple cake can make the transaction more attractive and stimulate
customers' excitement. While pushing the goods on the last day.

4. Place or distribution channels to deliver products and services.


4.1. Distribution channel

Herb's distribution strategy at the "Lanh" event and on Herb's own fanpage is an
important part of the 4P marketing strategy and plays a crucial role in ensuring that
Herb's natural organic shampoo and body wash products effectively reach their target
customers. First and foremost, we focus on selling products directly at the "Lanh" event,
especially to UEF students. Selling products directly at the event to UEF students is a
good strategy to engage directly with potential customers. This event is centered around
a green, natural, and vegetarian lifestyle, making it an excellent opportunity for you to
showcase and introduce Herb's natural products to the environmentally conscious
customer base. Selling directly allows you to establish a direct relationship, enabling
customers to try the products before purchase and inquire about quality and ingredients.
This builds trust and encourages on-the-spot consumption, particularly among those
who value green living values. This strategy allows us to establish a direct relationship
with customers, helping them to sample products before purchasing and inquire about
quality and ingredients. This fosters trust and encourages product purchases at the event.

38

6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

Furthermore, we use Herb's dedicated fanpage on social media as an essential


tool for building relationships and expanding our market. This fanpage provides
detailed information about our products, helping customers learn more about the
features and benefits of our organic shampoo and body wash. Customers can easily view
prices, place orders online, and have the products delivered to their doorstep. This helps
us attract and serve a broader range of customers, not only at UEF but also nationwide.

The benefit of combining both distribution channels is the optimization of potential


reach. By combining direct selling at the event and online sales, we ensure that our
products can reach both event attendees and non-attendees. This helps us build close

39

about:blank 42/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

relationships with UEF students at the event and maintain online connections with
customers after the event. This fosters loyalty and provides a foundation for the growth
of our brand. Additionally, combining both channels offers convenience and flexibility
for customers, ensuring they have multiple options to purchase our products.

4.2. Supplier

Hạc - Natural Beauty Care takes pride in being one of the leading stores in Vietnam
specializing in natural cosmetics. The products here are manufactured and processed
using natural ingredients, free from harmful chemical compounds that can be
detrimental to the skin. What's more, Hạc Beauty Care ensures that their products are
not tested on animals, aligning with an eco-friendly and animal-friendly lifestyle.
Collaborating with the supplier Hạc - Natural Beauty Care yields a range of significant
benefits for the Herb brand and our business strategy. Hạc Beauty Care, a well-known
store in Vietnam, not only among the locals but also among foreign tourists specializing
in natural cosmetics, accompanies us in providing high-quality products produced from

a green and animal-friendly living environment. We can confidently establish close
relationships with customers and expand the market, not only at the "Green Living"
event but also online through Herb's dedicated fan page on social media.

In summary, collaborating with Hạc - Natural Beauty Care is a crucial step in


ensuring that we provide quality products and create value for our brand, by combining
quality and environmental consciousness in a market that demands these values.

V. Marketing alliances used to gain access to other market areas


Currently, Herb has no plans for marketing alliances with other brands to develop
further in different markets.

VI. International marketing activites


Currently, our Herb has no plans for Marketing activities in the international
market. Because Herb is a new brand, we want to initially develop in the Vietnamese
market, specifically in Ho Chi Minh City.

VIII. Sales training programs needed.


Employee training is a pivotal process in any business, serving as a cornerstone
for enhancing our sales capabilities and overall effectiveness. A well-prepared sales
team is a potent asset, contributing not only to increased revenue but also to brand
development and the creation of exceptional customer experiences. Prior to the "Lanh"
event, we recognized the significance of comprehensive training and organized
numerous sessions to elevate the quality of our sales.

1. Product Knowledge

A robust grasp of product knowledge serves as the bedrock for our sales
professionals. We insist that our staff delve deeply into the intricacies of the products
we are selling, encompassing details such as features, functions, the tangible benefits
for customers, and a profound understanding of the target audience. Without this
foundation, our sales representatives might find themselves struggling to communicate
the value of what they offer.

To fortify their product knowledge, we adopt various strategies. We schedule in-


depth training sessions dedicated solely to product education, providing a wealth of
materials and instructive videos designed to comprehensively cover the product's
specifications. Furthermore, we believe in the power of firsthand experience and

47

about:blank 50/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

encourage our staff to interact with the products they are selling, allowing them to
internalize their unique qualities.

2. Sales Skills

The success of a salesperson is determined not only by what they know but also
by how skillfully they can apply that knowledge. We make it our mission to equip our
team with a repertoire of critical sales skills that can make all the difference. These skills
encompass effective communication, active listening, persuasive presentation, and the
art of closing a sale.

In the realm of sales skills, we take a proactive approach. We organize training


sessions entirely focused on honing sales skills, ensuring that our staff will be well-
equipped to engage with potential customers effectively. We also recognize the value of
visual learning, and so we make instructional videos available to our team, allowing
them to visualize the concepts and techniques in action. Importantly, we also believe
that practice makes perfect, providing opportunities for our staff to apply and refine
their skills in a real-world sales environment.

3. Service Attitude

In the competitive world of business, the attitude of service can set a company
apart. We understand the significance of a professional service attitude, one that
encompasses friendly greetings, attentive listening, thorough addressing of customer
inquiries, and an unwavering commitment to satisfying customer needs. This attitude
ensures that customers not only purchase a product but also enjoy the entire experience,
which is crucial for building a loyal customer base.

To instill a service-oriented attitude in our team, we conduct specialized training


sessions that emphasize the importance of courteous customer interactions. We
encourage our staff to go the extra mile in greeting customers with warmth,
demonstrating the patience to listen to their needs carefully, providing comprehensive
answers to inquiries, and proactively seeking ways to maximize customer satisfaction.

48

about:blank 51/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

To uphold the effectiveness of our training efforts, we have established a robust


feedback and evaluation system. Regular assessments of our staff's capabilities after
training sessions allow us to track their progress and make necessary adjustments to
further enhance their sales proficiency.

In conclusion, our commitment to comprehensive training, covering product


knowledge, sales skills, and service attitude, lays the foundation for our sales team's
success. This holistic approach ensures that they are not only informed about the
products but also adept in the art of sales and dedicated to delivering an outstanding
customer experience. This well-rounded approach is a cornerstone of our success in the
competitive world of sales.

2. Additional research programs


In a modern era, rich with the rapid development of technology, the trend of favoring
organic vegan products is not only a common trend but also a rich cultural symbol,
evoking sensitivity. Consumers' growing sensitivity and concern for personal health as
well as the impact on the environment. What is worth noting here is the continued

optimization of each ingredient to the delicately designed production process and
absolute safety assurance, each Herb product guarantees high quality and a deep

performance

Through the Raci Matrix table, we can see that each group member assumes the
primary responsibility in accordance with their own strengths and that each member
also supports one another to finish the work most effectively.

For those members who are mainly responsible for Marketing such as "Market
research, understanding today's market trends", there will be members from other
departments who will devise plans to implement activities based on these goals, or the
forecasts that have been made. In addition, members of the Marketing side will create
programs to attract potential customers to the Sales side, or members of the Marketing
side will link with members of the Sales side to be able to collect market, product, and
competitor data so that Marketing members can come up with new, timely strategies for
products.

Members involved in the design department will link up with members in the Sales
department. In addition to persuading customers to buy products, they can learn about
customer preferences, learn about colors and designs in just a short time. They are
attracted by looking at them, from which members of the design department will
understand customer psychology better.

The members of the Sales side are also an important part of the members of the
Finance side because the Sales side will provide advice and valuable information as
they will contribute to the direction of pricing and Marketing strategies before bringing
the product to market to consumers.

The production department also has a close relationship with the Finance department
because the members of the Finance department will be the ones to approve and pay for
all raw materials of the product. This can also help our business save money.

XII. Measurements and metrics


In the Herb brand's performance measurement and evaluation strategy, the notion
that tracking business metrics is just one part of the process is no longer enough to
capture the complete picture. What's more important is to see this as an opportunity to
gain a deeper understanding of how to interact with customers and build strong
connections in a market that is becoming increasingly fierce and constantly changing.
The specific goal set is to increase sales of Herb's 6 key products, including rose locust
shampoo, lotus shampoo, jasmine shower gel, bitter melon shower gel, fish soap, and
loofah bath sponge. With the target of 4 sales days at the "Lành" event (October 10,
2023 - October 13, 2023), specifically, it will achieve sales:
• 10 tubes of rose locust shampoo.
• 5 tubes of lotus shampoo
• 10 tubes of jasmine shower gel
• 10 tubes of bitter melon shower gel
• 5 fish soaps
• 3 loofah bath sponge
However, this goal is not simply a number, but also a lever to motivate every
member of the organization to better understand the importance of building strong

56

about:blank 59/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

relationships with customers. Herb's next goal is to increase brand recognition for this
product line in the market. With a limited time within 4 days of the "Lành" event, from
October 10, 2023, to October 13, 2023, the results achieved have far exceeded
expectations, specifically as follows:
• 15 tubes of rose locust shampoo (including 5 tubes of 30ml and 10
tubes of 50ml)
• 8 tubes of lotus shampoo
• 14 tubes of jasmine shower gel
• 12 tubes of bitter melon shower gel (including 3 tubes of 30ml and 9
tubes of 50ml)
• 10 fish soaps
• 3 loofahs bath sponge
This is not just a number, but also a reflection of the trust and loyalty that
customers have for the Herb brand, contributing to building a business environment
based on long-term relationships and good interaction between brands and consumers.
With outstanding sales results, Herb surpassed the original goal by 44%. This result is
not simply a number but also serves as a solid stepping stone to build and develop future
marketing and branding strategies. This opens up a greater opportunity for Herb to not
only expand its market but also to maintain and grow its presence in the market, thereby
creating a far-reaching influence and a lasting vision sustainable for the development
and success of the Herb brand in the coming time. This not only proves the power of
the brand strategy but also demonstrates the Herb brand's commitment to continuous
effort and innovation on its journey to prosperity and shaping the future

XIII. Risks
Risks and difficulties when implementing "Lành" events:

• First about the product: the group chooses products related to shampoo and
shower gel. These are the two products that consumers will be the most difficult
to buy, especially women, because they already have products for familiar
products for us, so this was a big challenge when we chose the above products.

57

about:blank 60/73
6/15/24, 6:34 PM Bài báo cáo cho case bún đậu Mạc Văn Khoa

• Second about the source of supply: we must research many places and visit many
stores to be able to make the best choice about the product and its price.
• Third about raw materials: because the quantity we buy of raw materials such as
(tubes, and paper bags) to serve the product is not much, so finding a store willing
to sell small quantities is impossible.
• Fourth about price: because this is a new brand, there is no customer trust, so if
the price of the product is too high, customers will refuse. From there we will
not have enough revenue to be able to pay suppliers.
• Fifth competition risk: there may be several businesses that will sell the same
products as us. This is the thing that we are most worried about when choosing
a product.
• Friday risks of promotional programs: this is an important activity related to the
revenue of our business, so we need to consider carefully when launching
promotional campaigns.
