WHY DID I SELECT LIPSTICK

I chose lipstick as the focus of my marketing project because it


represents a high-demand, high-impact product within the
Indian beauty market. Despite economic fluctuations, lipstick
often remains a popular and affordable luxury—known as the
“lipstick effect”—where consumers continue to indulge in small
beauty purchases even during tougher times.

In India, with a rapidly growing middle class, increasing


urbanization, and rising beauty consciousness across all age
groups and regions, the demand for cosmetics—especially
lipstick—has surged. It also offers diverse marketing
opportunities by catering to different skin tones, cultural
preferences, and price segments, making it a versatile and
relevant product for the Indian consumer landscape.

Lipstick allows for creative marketing through shade ranges,


packaging, and storytelling that connects with Indian
consumers on a personal and emotional level.

WAREHOUSING

free from moisture and contaminants to ensure products
remain in pristine condition.

2. Product Organization:

skincare, makeup, haircare) and batch number for easy
access and quality control.
● Shelving and Racking: Items are stored on shelves or in
racks, organized by size, weight, or product category,
optimizing space and reducing the risk of damage.

3. Inventory Management:
● Barcode/RFID Systems: Each product is tagged with a
barcode or RFID label, enabling real-time tracking and
quick retrieval. This helps manage stock levels and ensures
accurate order fulfillment.
● Stock Rotation: To maintain freshness, older stock is
rotated to the front, ensuring products are shipped in the
correct order (First In, First Out - FIFO).

4. Security and Compliance:


● Restricted Access: Only authorized personnel can access
certain areas of the warehouse, ensuring product safety and
confidentiality.
- **Regulatory Compliance**: The warehouse follows industry
standards for handling cosmetics, ensuring compliance with
safety regulations and good storage practices.

5. **Packaging and Dispatch**:

protective materials to prevent damage during shipping. If

CHANNELS OF DISTRIBUTION
Channels of distribution refer to the pathways or routes
through which goods and services travel from the producer or

company can focus on making and promoting the products,

from one place to another, such as from the manufacturer to
the wholesaler, retailer, or customer. It is an important part of
distribution, helping goods reach the market on time and in
good condition.

Heavenlit Cosmetics goods will be transported using road


transport, such as trucks or delivery vans. This method is
cost-effective and flexible, making it easy to deliver products
from the manufacturing unit to wholesalers, then to retailers,
and finally reaching customers in different locations on time
and in good condition.
