Carmex: Leveraging Facebook for Marketing Research

While Carmex has been marketing lip balm since 1937, only recently has Carmex begun to focus on competition and growth. Carmex has used social media tools to support many of its growth initiatives including product line extension, international growth, new product development, and product line expansion. Facebook provides Carmex with the unique opportunity to research potential lip balm varieties in the United States by engaging with its target audience online.
