Executive Summary
Currently, with the increasing rates of environmental issues, companies
should come up with biodegradable products that are not harmful to the
environment. Thus, our company has decided to come up with a new
makeup wipe that is biodegradable. The ideal marketing strategy for the
Dermagreen Makeup Wipes is an approach that will include the product.
Currently, makeup wipes manufactured by Garnier and J&J are the two most
notable competitors of the Dermagreen Makeup Wipes. One of the most
significant strengths of the company is that the marketing department has
competent leaders and workers. Sadly, the company’s greatest weakness is
that there are employees who sell makeup wipes from other companies.
Available marketing resources such as the internet are essential
opportunities, while the lack of a wide range of marketing tactics is a threat
to the success of the marketing plan. One of the objectives of the marketing
strategy is to launch Dermagreen Makeup Wipes on the set date without
postponing because postponing release dates may affect the trust of
stakeholders. Most of our customers are teenagers and young adults. They
are customers who regularly apply makeup, and they are easily accessible.
Moreover, teenagers and young adults appreciate our product because it is
very affordable, and they can regularly afford the wipes from their
allowances, since they retail at $12.00, for every pack of 30 wipes.
Moreover, the unique selling proposition (USP) is that “for every 100 packets
of Dermagreen Makeup Wipes sold, a tree is planted in their honor.”
Notably, the positioning strategy focuses on the characteristics of the
product, and the pricing, since we would want our consumers to remember
our products as affordable, quality products, committed to environmental
protection. The company will use a cost-based pricing strategy, which
involves aggregating the total cost of production of the product and the
expected profit margin because it is a pricing strategy recommended for
start-up organizations by financial experts. Additionally, the three elements
of the promotion mix useful in marketing Dermagreen Makeup Wipes
include; advertising, direct selling and direct marketing. Both the direct and
indirect distribution channels will help deliver the product to the target
consumers. Finally, the cost-per-acquisition marketing evaluation method
will be useful in analyzing the effectiveness of the marketing plan.

In the contemporary world, organizations are employing techniques
that ensure the achievement of organizational goals, the satisfaction of
stakeholders' interests, and the conservation of the environment. Many
governments are continually passing policies that ensure that businesses
apply green strategies in all their operations, including in the manufacturing
