L’Oréal was able to use precise target marketing by hitting the right audience with the right product at the right places. It has been a very crucial key to L’Oréal’s global success. The company has built its portfolio primarily by purchasing local beauty companies all over the world, revamping them with strategic direction, and expanding the brand into new areas through its powerful marketing arm.

If Datril decides to employ the second option, I do think they may be able to gain some market share from Tylenol’s existing customers, however if the drugs are identical, the only competitive advantage is price. Unfortunately, price is one the easiest advantages for a company to counter attack.
