CH17:Advertising and Public Relations

When it comes to advertising, Kiehl's, whose philosophy of not spending money on advertising or packaging has endured throughout its existence, sticks to that policy even as a part of multinational L'Oreal.

Kiehl's believes in developing positive image of itself on its customers through word-of-mouth strategy and building emotional connection with its customers. The company's core values, which includes 100 percent money-back guarantee, a staffing level that is two time the industry average and free consultations, has been key to establishing its relationship with customers. Also, I think that the generous samples of its hair and skin care products it gives out to customers to try before they actually make a purchase is a kind of low-key, low-pressure image it exchanges for a slick of advertising.

Kiehl's has a good press relation to major magazines of different styles, from fitness, living style to fashion magazines. This is one of the methods Kiehl's applied for its new-product publicity.
