22. Fair and lovely came with their advertisements in 3 different phases, which are as follows Phase 1. Showcase darker skinned woman turning fairer on using the cream. Saw the launch of product in 1978 on the basic premise that- younger woman wanted to have fairer skin to attract better looking husband. Phase2. During this evolution the brand talked to a younger college going girl who is self confident and more modern in her outlook and considers home remedies for facial care to be old fashioned. Phase3. It further metamorphosed into a brand offering emotional benefits to achievers who actively seeks solutions and do not look at marriage as the ultimate source of personal achievement.

With products like Emami’s Fair & Handsome hitting out unexpectedly, Fair & Lovely should be proactive and increase points of difference with the competitors. Moving beyond the message of fairness as beauty must be the center of its marketing communication. The recommendations provided would do just that, extending the core message of the brand through the product and communicating by its promotional strategies.
