Investigating The Role of Promotional Mix on Increasing the Sale of Cosmetics (Case Study:Atousa A Hair Color)

Nowadays, perpetuity and the development of the organizations and companies depend on appropriate marketing, selling, and servicing. Today’s marketing confirms not only producing devices and tools but also using correct methods of informing consumers. It is essential for successful companies to recognize the best ways of informing and persuading consumers to be able to compete and keep the marketing shares. We have encountered the growing market in cosmetic industry; however, Iranian cosmetic industry does not benefit a large share in such market. Iranian shares in this industry have been decreasing. Reviewing the literature, it was found that no research was conducted neither on marketing of this products nor on using appropriate methods for persuading consumers. Hence, in order to investigate the most suitable methods for informing consumers, a questionnaire was distributed among 384 women who had used Atousa hair color at least once. The result showed that the viewpoint of other consumers is the most important factor in increasing the sales of such a product. Sale promotions and advertising have the lower ranks; however, direct marketing does not play a significant role.
