L’Oréal’s goal of attracting 1 billion new customers by 2025 is characterized by expansion into developing markets and retention of its customer bases in developed markets. The company plans to achieve this goal through employing a strategy of new brand acquisitions, continued R&D spending, and brand expansions into new markets. Strategic Brand Acquisitions Strategic brand acquisition is L’Oréal’s main strategy for successful market entry and continued dominance in developed markets. L’Oréal’s success in market entry can be attributed to a strategy of building and acquiring brands rooted in local culture that appeal to different segments of the global market. Rather than attempting to homogenize brands and make them appealing to many cultures, L’Oréal has focused on building brands that embody their country of origin (Hong & Doz). In 2013 and 2014, L’Oréal acquired Magic Holdings, NYX, Decléor, Carita, Coloright, and Niely (L’Oréal “2014 Annual Results”). The acquisition of each of these brands has a strategic purpose in the expansion of the company’s market share in both developing and developed markets.

So, a repositioning and revival of Margo was possible. But, the owner of the brand, Calcutta Chemicals failed to change the traditional theme into a trendy one, which other new coming competitive brands boldly used. But later when the ownership of the brand was handed over to Henkel Spic, they gave the brand a facelift. Henkel gave it a new look, a milder fragrance and comparatively more lather.
