1.1 RATIONALE OF THE STUDY
Reasons for choosing this field of study (social media marketing) is because of its rapid growth in
terms of users accessing such platforms on a daily basis. Many companies are establishing their
online presence to increase business. Till the time consumers are there, products will be there for
offering and so the marketing feature will be associated with it. Choosing Mamaearth brand under
this study is important as it has emerged as the top digital brand and they mostly get their orders
online. They have completed nearly 5 years in this personal care industry still they have achieved
so much, people are aware about this etc. Not only they sell products, but they are also involved

1.2 INTRODUCTION TO THE INDUSTRY
The industry is further categorized into seven major categories – cosmetics, fragrance, men’s
grooming, skin care, bath & shower, hair care and oral care. With the demand for enhanced
products and the desire to look good, presents a golden opportunity for this industry to expand its
operations in India. The beauty and personal care market has seen rapid growth in Tier II+ cities
with two-fifth of sales coming from cities like Indore, Ludhiana, and Nagpur etc. This consumer
behavior is attributed due to increased internet penetration (social media, ads etc.) and the
increasing image consciousness of the consumer. Consumer preference indicates that daily care
products are purchased online predominantly due to product standardization, offers and discounts
on various portals whereas mid-premium and premium+ products are purchased in the offline retail
stores since the consumer mindset still believes in the ‘touch & feel’ of the product. (Beauty
Personal Care to Grow At 9 Percent By 2020, 2018)
The term social media marketing (SMM) refers to the use of social media and social networks to
market a company’s products and services. It has gone beyond just connecting with friends. It’s
now an industry itself used for all kinds of purposes. It provides companies with a way to engage
with existing customers and also reach new ones while allowing them to promote their desired
culture and mission. Social media websites allow marketers to employ a broad range of tactics and
strategies to promote content and let people engage with it (Adam, 2018).

networking service owned by Facebook for sharing content and associating with people. That’s
why every brand is trying to establish their presence on Instagram because of the larger reach.

B2C (Business to Consumer) network.

1.3 INTRODUCTON TO THE COMPANY MAMAEARTH
When the duo Varun and Ghazal Alagh (founders of Mamaearth) became parents for the first time
in 2016 they were looking for safe and non- toxic baby care products for their son, but no such
brand or companies offer such type instead they were full of chemicals such as parabens, sulfates,
bleach etc. Which were very harmful for the sensitive skin, so they started ordering products from
US, but it turned out to be expensive and caused them inconvenience.
All this struggle saw the rise of Mamaearth which is registered under Honasa Consumer Private
Limited, with an aim to provide cruelty free, organic products in the Indian market. It is Asia’s 1st
Brand with Made Safe™ Certified products. The products are free of all known toxins that are
banned in most countries they set their base in Gurugram as D2C (Direct to Consumer) brand on
the native website and slowly entered in the retail landscape as well as on Amazon and Flipkart.
Their portfolio consists of baby care, skincare and hair care products which caters to all types of
personal care needs of young, aspirational and increasingly conscious consumers.
One of their biggest challenges was to find manufacturing partners who were ready to work with
their specified set of ingredients and after facing numerous rejections they found the perfect
partners particularly those who were catering to export markets and had strong ISO, WHO
certifications already.

Currently, the company is backed by eminent investors including Sequoia India, Stellaris Ventures,
Fireside Ventures, and Marico’s Rishabh Mariwala, Snapdeal founders Kunal Bahl and Rohit
Bansal, and Shilpa Shetty Kundra (Brand Ambassador) among other investors.
Especially during the time of Covid-19 they put in all their efforts despite the uncertainties.
Mamaearth’s marketing campaigns and brand communication was centered on the promise of
using only the best of nature in its products. The company has been working with influencers on
social media platforms to spread awareness about the products, their USP and answering the people
why their products are best in the market and started building awareness amongst users (Amit,
2020). With their latest initiative ‘Plant Goodness’ the brand has chosen goodness for the
environment as well. In this quest, the brand will link every order made on their website to a tree
they plant. (Asia’s First Made Safe Certified Brand, Mamaearth, Enters the UAE Market, 2020)

It is a way that the market or the consumer perceives about you or their thinking for a brand. Can
be termed as a unique bundle of associations within the minds of target customers. It signifies what
the brand presently stands for. It is a set of beliefs held about a specific brand. It conveys an
emotional value and not just a mental image. Consumers develop various associations with the
brand. Based on these associations, they form brand image. An image is formed about the brand

LITERATURE REVIEW

2.1- INTERNATIONAL REVIEWS
Social media has become the center of attention in many industries by facilitating various areas of
marketing, such as promotions, marketing intelligence, sentiment research, public relations,
marketing communications, as well as product and customer management (Akar, 2011).
Features such as reliability, consistency and wide reach are possessed by social media marketing,
this new approach of outreach and marketing has opened a wide area for businesses to reach their
targeted customers for selling their products (Rubathee, 2013).
Companies should understand that a positive brand image is formed through high brand awareness
because when a brand is recognized by the people it’s easier to from associations with them (Inha,
2012)
Social networks will play a key role in the future of marketing; externally they can replace
customer annoyance with engagement, and, internally, they help to transform the traditional focus
on control with an open and collaborative approach that is more conducive to success in the modern
business environment. (Farzana, 2014).
It is pragmatic to start a business and make it known to others through social media marketing.
While social media empowers businesses to increase their traffic, reach and leads, it can damage
a brand image if not used properly (Wendy, 2017).
14
Marketing activities or strategies should be developed in such a way so as to build a strong brand
image in the market as not only it helps getting new customers but aids in retaining existing ones,
which is considered as a success parameter for any business. (Muhammad, 2021)
Brands may seek customer acquisitions by taking part in social media activities, such as
discussions, that promote the brand to be associated with relevant themes and brands whose
audiences are similar as the target market (Pozin 2014, 2). They are key to new customer
acquisitions is content that is interesting to the users, and participating on discussions on social
media.
Brand image has an effect on brand loyalty, and it also promotes customer satisfaction, that’s why
companies ask their existing customers to suggest products to new one’s (Pratama, 2017).
A brand image also helps customers to differentiate between competing brands which enable them
to purchase those brands that matches with their needs and wants. It helps in building sustainable
relations with the customers. (Titi, 2018)
Many past studies have acknowledged that both actual quality and perceived quality have an
association with the brand image (Alhaddad). However, the effect of the former is more significant
than the latter. Many brands, besides spending resources on the physical quality of the product,
also devote considerable resources to enhance consumer perception about the quality of the brand.
(Wang, 2016)
15
Social media may help to strengthen or change brand image, but in order to benefit from the power
of social media, brands need to manage and enact their presence constantly (Pozin 2014, 2-3).
Consumers’ motivations to join social networks have been identified, analyzed and supported by
several studies. Consumers have been recognized to join social media in order to get some type of
information and request for help; to improve their skills and knowledge about certain product or
service. Members feel identified with the symbols and meaning that the brand stands for; but also
to share their passion and feel gratification from participating in the community (Shao, 2009, Park
et al., 2009, Brodie et al., 2011a, Zaglia, 2013). Social media can now provide with additional
and vast information about any product and brand to various people with different opinions.
16
2.2- NATIONAL REVIEWS
Marketing through social media is now a trending factor for creating the image and awareness for
a brand and they are able to deliver the actual value of the products amongst the people. Before,
when no such platforms were available, people use to have distant and impersonal impressions of
brands (Kathirvel Deepika, 2018)
(Kochina, 2019) Consumers are aware of Natural & Healthy products and there is an inclination
towards sustainable buying. 35% of buyers prefer green, healthy and toxin-free products whereas
33% of buyers are neutral about it. Products with high concern and motives offer high prices and
consumers are even willing to pay a bit more for them.
One of the reasons for promoting on social media are tools, techniques provided on those platforms
and the evolving content, so the marketers can use all their creativity for communicating with the
buyers. (P. Sri Jothi, 2011)
Rapid growth of online social media reduces the marketer’s control over brand management.
Consumers share their brand-related experiences (through online reviews) in various online social
media platforms. It is a major challenge for the marketers to understand the effects of online
reviews on a brand’s image (Chakraborty Uttam, 2017).
An article mentioned that the companies who are not engaged on social media sites as a part of
their marketing they are missing a great opportunity for connecting with prospective customers.
(Khushbu, 2021)
17
Brand is the one of the important tools that occupy the target market by the marketer. Branding
influence and attracts many customers for various reasons. Quality, long life and good services are
amongst them. (P. Vanitha)
It transcends the traditional middlemen and connects companies directly with the customers and
not sell products, but they also get to listen to customers- suggestions which helps in organic
growth of the brand (Pankaj 2016).
Brand Image research focuses on ways people perceive products, brands, people etc. and in that
connection the image refers to the way these people decode the signals emanating from a given
product or service or the communication covered by the brand. In this connection it would be fair
that the companies must think watchfully what accurately they want to project before considering
the image. (Dr Gupta, 2015)
Consumers are more likely to buy products who has a positive brand image in the market so as to
reduce their purchasing risks, which also provides them satisfaction. (Gandotra Radhika, 2017).
Getting indulged with social media is obviously time consuming, as an association you need to
appoint a team who has knowledge in this field for the support. (Akram, 2018)
It cannot be denied that the world is rapidly shifting from analogue to digital world, nowadays
people are consuming more and more digital content on a daily basis and smart marketers keep on
top of the scale of change and ensure their marketing strategies and touch points’ mirror where the
consumer is spending their time (Pramod Vashishtha, 2018)
18
Social media has become an indispensable tool for consumers at this age. Even the study conducted
by (Rob FitzGerald, 2019) has observed that consumers are 71% more likely to make a purchase
based on the social media referrals.
To understand the effect of social media marketing on consumer’s buying behavior a study was
conducted by (Arekar, 2019). She inferred that social media sites shows variety of products with
different brands available in the market as well as the comments and feedbacks associated with
those products so as to make the consumers aware of the necessary information about the different
brands of different products.
(Verma, 2018) studied the impact of social media on consumers purchase behavior in Indian
context and discovered that consumers like to communicate with brands through the medium of
social media. They tend to rely on the social media networks for customer support and services.
Thus, it suggests that companies should make their brands more digitized to reach to their target
audience.
(Prajapati, 2020) He focused on the scope of social media marketing in the upcoming era. Despite
agreeing on the Undeniable need for Online Marketing, he also highlighted the fact that companies
that are not utilizing the digital platform to advertise their product and services, cannot compete
with the competition and hence will eventually come to an end.
(Thompson, 2018) Brands can use digital in many possible ways to communicate distinct brand
associations and to form a brand image, a perception in the consumer minds through various
strategies. Their findings imply that there is a significant development in the ways to approach
social media usage, but regarding strategic brand management, there is still a lack of innovative
and unique management utilization and approaches.
19
According to Yadav & Rahman (2017), Social media marketing (SMM) is described as “a
process by which companies create, communicate, and deliver online marketing offerings via
social media platforms to build and maintain stakeholder relationships that enhance stakeholders'
value by facilitating interaction, information sharing, offering personalized purchase
recommendations, and word of mouth creation amongst stakeholders about existing and trending
products and services”.
Digital network offers flexibility and eases to reach huge quantities of customers through a
different range of attributes (Brakus et al., 2009). Social Media Marketing performs through
various means such as online apps, virtual platforms and media, within which, there are plenty of
approaches regarding videos, bloggings, images, recordings or podcasts, etc. Some well-known
and effective channels can be named as Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, etc. Realizing
the increasing development of social media platforms, marketers have been able to adapt more
flexible and more innovative channels of marketing than traditional ones.
As Grant (2007) mentioned, traditional distribution channels have suffered as consumers now
use online purchasing due to easier access to product/service information. Companies use customer
centric approach to create a social network and interact with all of their target group. Changing the
traditional approach marketing is now based on interactions.
