natural, but their formulation still consists of synthetic chemicals. Setting apart Human Nature from other
commercially available products, they commit that their formulation is at least 95% natural and proven
with indicators of what is labeled as “natural” in their ingredient list.
Lead Generation ● In order to cater to a wide range of potential customers, they need to maximize their online presence.

for conditioners using it as an opportunity to reach out to these people and promote Human Nature’s
product to gather potential customers.
Loyalty ● In order to gain loyal customers, customer satisfaction is one key in keeping and building customer
loyalty because reaching their expectations would encourage them to buy the products. Availability of
products to customer’s location is also one strategy in keeping customer’s loyalty since customers would
buy products that are available within their vicinity, especially during this time where limited time outside
is implemented in the community.
● Asking for customer’s feedback plays a vital role in improving and maintaining the quality of a business.
Knowing their feedback helps the entrepreneurs on being aware of their shortcomings, brainstorming

level of engagement among viewers and provide better returns. People who will watch these ads will
likely share their brand video or subscribe to their channel.

Celebrities, they can help in promoting their business by being one of their ambassadors, promoters,
and representatives. Influencers such as popular local Filipino Youtubers will be able to assist them in
boosting their sales.
Presentation Outline
Good Morning to everyone! We are group 5 and we are here to present our Marketing Strategy for the Company Gandang Kalikasan
Inc that brings you Human Nature products.
Let us look into Human Nature’s brief background and history of its products
COMPANY BACKGROUND:
Human Nature started when an idea clicked with the founder Anna Meloto-Wilk and her husband looked into the trend of natural
products in the U.S. There are ingredients that grow already in the Philippines with which they envisioned Philippine-made natural
products that could transform and restore the quality of life of the poorest sectors. Human Nature launched with the help of Gawad
Kalinga partners, in November 2008 at Blue Leaf, Fort Bonifacio in Manila. The brand continues to grow as they source raw materials
from rural low-income communities that also provides jobs for them.They’ve successfully earned several awards as they stay committed
to their values. In 2015, Human Nature became a member of Natural Products Association therefore certifying that they strictly
manufacture all-natural products. Up to this date, Human Nature continues to stay true to their core values of being Pro-Philippines,
Pro-Poor and Pro-Environment and is continuously employing hundreds of residents from Gawad Kalinga providing opportunity and
help to several poor communities. The company that brings Human Nature products is Gandang Kalikasan Inc.
Human Nature offers “Truly Natural” products which differs from other products as they claim that it is natural but their formulation still
consists of synthetic chemicals. Setting apart Human Nature from other commercially available products, they commit that their
formulation is at least 95% natural and proven with indicators of what is labeled as “natural” in their ingredient list.
Here are some of the Natural key ingredients they use in these products
Human Nature offers a variety of products such as hand soap, facial wash, and oils but for this marketing plan we’re going to focus
on their hair care products specifically Human Nature’s conditioner line. These are the different variants of conditioner they offer:
1. Moisturizing Conditioner
● 200ml- PHP 175.00
● 400ml- PHP 299.75
- 99.5% natural that is best for hydrating and softening dry, rough hair. There are no silicone, paraben-free and synthetic
fragrance-free.
2. Strengthening Conditioner
● 200ml- PHP 179.75
● 400ml- Php 319.75
● 1L- PHP 699.75
- 99.7% natural that is best for encouraging growth and thinning hair
Product Competition
1. Cream Silk launched in 1984 and has been at the forefront of developing the conditioner market in the Philippines, providing expert
solutions with specially formulated ingredients to answer women's different hair needs. Cream silk is known to put women as the face
of its brand incorporating them to almost every product packaging they have.
Among the three brands mentioned only cream silk offers its products in sachets and I think it's a good way to sell their product since
it's also a way for consumers to be able to try it out muna in tingi-tingi and not committing to a larger bottle kasi baka hindi fit sa hair
type or hindi hiyang so it's a good strategy from cream silk.
Here are some of cream silk’s key ingredients. It has double the lysine, which is a core ingredient known to moisturize and repair
damages to hair. But aside from that it also has harmful chemicals that can cause hair damage, irritation, hair loss and frizziness
which are also listed in the presentation. That is all for cream silk
2. TRESemme
TRESemmé is an American brand of hair care products manufactured in 1947 by the Godefroy Manufacturing Company in
Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States. It was named after the famous hair care expert Edna L. Emme. The
brand name is a phonetic respelling of “beloved” (French: très-aimé) that includes the surname of its namesake. TRESemmé
creates formulas suited for different kinds and types of hair. Its products include shampoos & conditioners, dry shampoos,
gels, hair sprays, and other styling sprays. Their products are mostly used in hair salons around the world for hair repair
treatment from heat damage caused by hair ironing and blow drying.
However, despite protecting the hair from heat damage caused by blow drying and hair ironing, these following ingredients
inside TRESemmé products may cause damage to the hair. Ingredients such as the following may cause hair damage, loss,
and fizziness.

IV STRATEGY/RECOMMENDATION
In order to achieve our objectives, we will be presenting our recommendation for Human Nature.
● We suggest increasing their online and social media presence through various platforms available such as Instagram or Youtube
so that they may be able to reach a wider audience.
Human Nature should increase their online and social media presence through Instagram and Youtube advertisements so that
they may be able to reach a wider audience. We suggest that they make Instagram advertisements so that the audience will
be aware of their brand and advocacies. Youtube advertisements will help Human Nature reach a wider audience because
videos tend to have a higher level of engagement among viewers, and they provide better returns. People who will watch these
ads will likely share their brand video or be enticed to buy their products.
● Using different communication materials to provide the necessary information about Human Nature’s products. For example,
comparing ‘Brand X’ to Human Nature to further emphasize its use of organic ingredients.
Since Human Nature continues to create and improve their products, these recommendations can help Human Nature to reach more
potential customers and inform the Filipino public that they offer truly natural products, advocate for the environment and promote
Filipino-made products.
● Promoting their products and their brand awareness through advertisements such as TV Commercials, Billboards, and Influencers
& Celebrities.
Making publication materials such as posters, brochures, and infographics will help people know what is there to know about
Human Nature and their products, thus promoting their brand awareness. Additionally, they should promote their products and
their brand awareness through advertisements such as TV Commercials, Billboards, and Influencers & Celebrities. With the
help of Influencers & Celebrities, they can help in promoting their business by being one of their ambassadors, promoters, and
representatives. Influencers such as popular local Filipino Youtubers will be able to assist them in boosting their sales.
Next is Arianne Castro who will be talking about our Target Consumers for Human Nature.
V TARGET CONSUMERS
We have emphasized that reaching out to different demographics or market segments can help the growth of Human Nature’s brand,
these are the characteristics of our ideal or target customer.
These types of customers are more likely to trust brands that deliver features like natural, sustainably sourced and no artificial
ingredients.
The primary target consumers are the people who buy the product primarily because of the product’s nature-based ingredients. The
consumers prefer factors that Human Nature provides for their customers aside from their naturally produced products, the company
produces cruelty-free products.
local products ensure stronger nutritional contents and honest desire to reduce one's carbon footprint is combined with the personal
assurance.
For the next reporter would be Razbert Ignacio who will discuss about the contents of the Advertising Material
VI ADVERTISING MATERIAL
For our advertising material, again we would like consumers to recognize human nature’s brand. And as mentioned earlier, one of our
suggestions is to use influencers or celebrities that could help promote the brand and its advocacies. Because most of the time,
consumers are driven to buy products associated with famous personalities, so with, we made a sample pubmat which uses Angel
Locsin because we think her advocacies are in line with Human Nature’s core values. Aside from this our pubmat emphasizes the use
of organic ingredients because it is Human Nature’s edge among its competitors so we would like to highlight that, so we included
some of the benefits and characteristics of the product. Here are some mockups we made for tv and billboard.
