Abstract
Sasi, a Thai beauty and lifestyle brand launched in 2017 as the sister brand of Srichand, has established a growing presence in Thailand’s affordable cosmetics market by targeting younger consumers with colorful, accessible products and celebrity-led marketing. Following strong domestic growth, the brand aims to strengthen its position in Thailand before expanding into regional markets. However, its next stage of growth presents several strategic considerations. Sasi must determine whether to deepen its focus on color cosmetics, diversify into base makeup, or broaden its beauty and lifestyle offering while maintaining a distinctive identity separate from Srichand. International expansion introduces further challenges, as the brand may not benefit from the same consumer familiarity and reputation that support its positioning in Thailand, while distribution and market-entry costs could affect its price competitiveness.
This case study examines the strategic choices facing Sasi as it seeks to sustain domestic growth and establish a regional presence. It encourages students to evaluate product portfolio decisions, brand differentiation, value positioning, and international market expansion, with particular attention to how a growing brand can adapt its strategy to new markets without losing its established identity.
