8. Let’s start digging into consumers’ mind
• What triggers them?
• Who are they?
• How can we best communicate with
them?
8
9. It all starts with an idea…or a business objective
• A lotion that combines high
UVA and UVB protection
with a self tanner
• “We need to re-energize our
sun care line: what should
be our next big launch?”
9
10. Is this a real opportunity?
• Is this an un-met need? Is it
top of mind for consumers?
• Can consumers identify
with this situation? Is it
relevant to them?
• If yes, to whom? To how
many?

11. “I have a very fair skin. When I go in the sun without
sunscreen, I burn within the first 30 minutes. But I do wish I
could have a nice tan at the end of a sunbathing day.”
“I know I am doing the right thing for my skin when I use a
high SPF sunscreen but I long for a nice natural tan at the
end of a day outdoor and I don’t like self tanners.”
12. Crafting the optimal value proposition

13. What benefits should my product have to meet
this need?
•
•
Does it need to protect the skin
from premature ageing?
•
Is the texture of the product
important? Its fragrance?
•
14
Is sun protection more important
than natural tanning?
How many consumers do I reach
with this benefit?
14. What will make these benefits believable?
•
•
Should the formula protect against UVA
and UVB to avoid skin damage?
•
How can we explain the natural tanning
accelerator ingredients?
•
15
Is an SPF 50 enough high enough to
protect against the sun?
Should the formula be fast-penetrating to
illustrate the non-sticky benefit?
