The Client

Crystal Cosmetics is an Australian green beauty brand and one of the nation’s largest seller of organic cosmetics products including colour cosmetics, skincare, towelettes, fragrance, bodycare, and haircare items. The company prides itself for being the best natural organic beauty brand in the country and strongly believes in using only natural ingredients rather than mainstream or artificially engineered chemicals.

The company is passionate and committed to the image of ethical green beauty. Crystal Cosmetics aims to portray this image to their consumers and other audiences in the beauty market emphasising the importance of natural ingredients to achieve a healthy standard of beauty.

Background to the Project

Crystal Cosmetics has launched a range of new skincare products a while ago and the most successful item has been the B5 Pro, a spray skin moisturiser. The company is seeking to reach to the pinnacle of B5 Pro’s sales by creating greater awareness.

The following information about the B5 Pro product is provided by the client:

B5 Pro Spray Moisturiser

We have a range of skin care products, yet our most successful item has been our B5 Pro spray moisturiser. Everyday our skin is exposed to degenerating elements such as the weather, stress, our diet and skin irritations. It’s important for people to be aware of this degeneration, and ways they can naturally increase the health of their skin. The revitalising secret to our B5 Pro is in its active provitamin B5 ingredient.

Provitamin B5 is a member of the powerful B-complex vitamin family and is suitable for use with all skin types. Provitamin B5's effectiveness in hydrating, soothing, healing and protecting skin makes it an effective ingredient in formulations to alleviate the following conditions:

· acne

· bed sores

· minor cuts

· diaper rash

· contact dermatitis (produced when the skin comes in contact with irritants or allergens)

· eczema

· insect bites

· scrapes

· sunburn.

B5 Pro is cleverly curated using revitalising ingredients, in particular with provitamin B5, vitamins A, C and E, rosehip oil, and shea butter. These ingredients help to revitalise the skin to its natural healthy glow.

B5 Pro is a premium quality product that comes in a biodegradable spray bottle to support the environment – as expected from Australia’s leading ‘green conscious’ beauty brand. It’s current retail price is $49.95 per 4 oz. tube and is sold at all chemists and supermarkets across Australia.

B5 Pro contains four key properties that revitalise the skin, these include:

Hydrating

B5 Pro is infused by Provitamin B5, which is a prominent humectant, a water binding substance used to retain and preserve moisture. It stabilises the skin barrier function assisting the skin to retain its moisture levels and safeguarding it from irritation. Applying B5 Pro to your skin will optimise your skin’s hydration while improving its elasticity and silky smoothness. It is deeply hydrating and it even helps to keep skin moist by absorbing moisture from the air, meaning it is ideal for the treatment of dry, scaly or rough skin.

Another key ingredient is Vitamin E, which possesses basic antioxidant properties that everyone needs. Vitamin E not only protects the skin against cell mutation in the sun and pollution, because it's also an anti-inflammatory, it calms and hydrates sensitive skin, giving your skin a rejuvenated appearance.

Recovering

Provitamin B5 is as a natural anti-inflammatory skin healer and protector. This is mainly because its ability to relieve the symptoms of irritated skin, such as itchiness, pain and discolouration, and stimulating your skin’s healing processes.

Provitamin B5 has also been known to speed up the healing process of damaged skin by regenerating human tissue and making the skin more solid and elastic. Additionally, Provitamin B5 enhances the repair of the skin barrier while reducing inflammation.

Shea butter has so many benefits for the skin and is great in organic beauty products. Due to its cinnamic acid and other natural properties, shea butter has anti-inflammatory benefits for the skin. One compound in particular, lupeol cinnamate, was found to reduce skin inflammation and even potentially help avoid skin mutations.

Rejuvenating

Provitamin B5 provide instant skin regeneration. One of its major ingredient, Vitamin A, is known to increase skin cell regeneration, reducing wrinkles and repairing damage from harmful solar radiation.

Moreover, shea butter aids in the skin’s natural collagen production and contains oleic, stearic, palmitic and linolenic acids that protect and nourish the skin to prevent drying. With long term use, many people have reported skin softening and strengthening as well as wrinkle reduction.

Anti-aging

The softening properties of Provitamin B5 fused with Rosehip Oil, which is rich in Omega-3, 6 and 9 Fatty Acids, help plump the skin, smooth fine lines, lighten age spots, increase firmness, and promote a youthful appearance.

In addition, inclusion of Vitamin E blocks free radicals from the body, which plays a significant role in the aging process as it reduces wrinkles and keeps the skin with a vivacious looking. Combined with Vitamin C, B5 Pro also boosts the production of collagen and minimise fine lines, wrinkles, and scars.

Customers can visit the website to explore the existing product line, however, they are required to visit the nearest physical store to buy a product.

The purchasing process is depicted below:

Copy Requirements

Macro and Micro Goals

Crystal Cosmetics is seeking for an effective online ad copy to be placed on the website’s landing page which will boost the sales for the B5 Pro product.

While driving higher revenue and profits, the organisation wants to achieve the following:

· distinguish B5 Pro Repair Moisturiser from its rival, MySkin Beauty, by portraying the product as a better option for healthy skincare (see attached MySkin Beauty’s website ad copy)

· create a greater awareness for the product by highlighting its unique features

· convey the brand values of natural beauty and ethical, environmental friendly practices

· channel customers to learn more about the product and also store visit.

The client puts a strong focus on the product, rather than the brand as a whole. The copy needs to appeal to emotion by highlighting the effectiveness of the product in terms of its premium quality and ability to revitalise the skin.

Techniques for Expressing the Central Idea

The client wants the creative copy to utilise the following techniques:

· celebrity endorsement

· analogy

· medical endorsement

· storytelling

· product description

· anecdotes

· visual advertising

· highlighting therapeutic benefits

· consumer testimonials

· association

· scientific evidence

· recipe breakdown

· illustrations

· medical information

· persuasive ad techniques

· realism and product demonstration (e.g. before and after shots)

· any other suitable.

Target Audience

In order for the advertising copy to achieve promotional goals, it must engage and persuade the target audience. Through market research, the client’s target consumer based has been identified, as follows:

· primarily female

· aged between 30 and 65

· middle to upper class income bracket

· cares about their skin

· has a history with skin conditions such as scaly skin, dry skin, rough skin, severe sunburn, skin irritations and wounds

· believes in ethical skincare products

· wants to find a skin cream that won’t irritate their skin, and will fix any conditions they may have

· believes in the idea of natural beauty; conscious of the negative effects of artificial skincare products.

Brand Image

Overall, the copy needs to convey Crystal Cosmetics brand image as centred on natural healthy skin. The brand wants to be seen as a reputable, premium quality product that is proven to work.

Language and Information

The language of the copy must be English. Although it can include medical jargon when giving evidence or medical support for the product’s benefits, these must be basic and not confusing for consumers. Language must be ‘engaging’ rather than ‘off-putting’ due to its level of complexity.

The copy needs to include information on the product’s benefits to the consumer. It can include all benefits or select certain features that will best engage the target audience. The copy needs to give evidence for these benefits, to reassure the consumer that the product is high quality. It must have a unique selling proposition (USP) to differentiate B5 Pro from others available on the market.

Writing Style

The copy must be persuasively written ensuring the following:

· engage consumers by directly addressing their needs or wants

· provide information to highlight the quality and benefits of the product

· lead the consumer to purchase the product through a call to action

· encourage the consumer to learn more about the product through a call to action.

The copy must include emotional triggers that will provoke powerful response focusing on consumers’ need for a healthy skincare product and desire for premium quality.

Level of Detail

The website ad copy needs to be simplistic in the idea it portrays. It needs to highlight the key benefits of the product, yet use a minimal amount of text to do so, as the consumer will only engage with the copy for a small amount of time. This means that the main aspects of the copy should simplistically showcase the brand image, the product, its benefits to consumers, and a trigger to learn more about the product and where to purchase it. Word count is not limited, however, should be concise and to the point.

Visuals

Visual elements are at the discretion of the advertiser; however:

· the copy must use an image of the product tub:

· the copywriter must use the product image provided (see attached)

· the copywriter must insert the ‘butterfly’ brand symbol on the tub (see attached)

· the copywriter can alter the image of the product tub to make it look more appealing and align with the rest of the copy

· the copywriter must include the brand logo on the copy (see attached)

· all of the above must be appropriately positioned and easily visible to consumers.

The Design

The copy must include a combination of visual and textual elements. The copy is expected to be produced using an appropriate graphics design software. The output format must be adjusted to the highest visibility on the company’s website.

Copy Options

There are a range of copy options that can be used in the copy which are at the discretion of the copywriter. The copywriter will choose the placement and design of these copy options provided below. It is expected that the copywriter will use a minimum of four of these options:

· headlines

· subheadings

· illustrations

· body copy such as paragraphs

· captions

· taglines

· quotes

· call to action buttons

· video clips

· product and technical information

· textures

· imagery

· overlays

· angled boxes

· contrasts

· symmetries

· accents of colour

· animations

· shadows

· repeating elements

· linear accents

· any other suitable to address the requirements of this Brief.

Legal and Ethical Constraints

· take into account any legal or ethical constraints to be considered when producing the web ad copy

· be aware of legislation and legislative instruments that are directly and indirectly related to the copywriting process

· document these constraints, including their key provisions, prior to undertaking the design process
