Deep dives
Mama Earth's Purpose-driven Branding Strategy
Mama Earth adopted a purpose-driven branding strategy, positioning itself as a why-based brand rather than a what-based brand. By focusing on creating toxin-free products for moms and babies, and leveraging the trust and advice-sharing among millennial mothers, they managed to differentiate themselves from established players like Hindustan Unilever. Mama Earth also acquired a content company called Mom's Press, which provided them with a network of mom influencers, making the brand a marketing powerhouse.
Mama Earth's Expansion and Financial Outlook
Mama Earth expanded beyond being a digital-only company and ventured into physical stores, aiming to capture the supercharged consumers who prefer the physical shopping experience. They opened 85 exclusive brand outlets that cater specifically to Mama Earth's products. While this offline channel already accounts for 35% of the company's revenues, it remains to be seen if this approach will be successful in the long run. In terms of finances, Mama Earth reported a loss of over 150 crore rupees in FY23 due to a failed acquisition, but excluding that, they would have been profitable. With net profits of 25 crore rupees in the first three months of the current financial year, they appear to have a positive bottom line. However, with the IPO approaching, profitability might be influenced by factors like advertising expenses and competition from behemoth rivals.
In today’s episode for 28th October 2023, we dive into the house of brands that Honasa Consumer Ltd has built before its IPO opens on the 31st of October.
