Marketing for Socialism: Soviet Cosmetics in the 1930s

Abstract: Cataloged from PDF version of article.This article examines the marketing practices of the Soviet state trust for cosmetics, TeZhe, in the 1930s. Drawing on company records, industry reports, and popular press, we show that TeZhe used an array of marketing tactics, which were similar to those of the Western manufacturers. However, TeZhe's marketing was aligned with the state's economic and sociocultural initiatives and shaped by the ideological dictates of the Soviet system

“…While the increasing dominance of global brands characterizes today's economy, the histories of the non-Western markets are also shaped by local brands. However, little is known about the stories and histories of these brands (e.g., Kravets and Sandıkcı, 2013;Zhiyan, Borgerson, Schroeder, 2013;Zhao and Belk, 2008 Third, we contribute to historical studies of packaging by offering a methodological approach that combines different analytical tools. Specifically, we show that using compositional analysis and social semiotic approaches together enable an analysis that is attentive to both the formal visual components and characteristics of a design and the broader meaning potential of these representations.…”

However, little is known about the stories and histories of these brands (Kravets and Sandıkcı, 2013; Zhiyan et al , 2013; Zhao and Belk, 2008). Piyale’s packaging trajectory demonstrates the Western dominance in Turkish design history.…”

“…In order to untangle the complex phenomenon of development and better understand what is at stake, we briefly sketch the different perspectives that have emerged since the mid-twentieth century. While the predominant focus in this work is US-based models of development, we acknowledge alternatively modern traditions in other nations where governments historically (Kravets and Sandikçi 2013) and marketers at present (Denegri-Knott, Witkowski, and Pipoli 2013) orient market development efforts for collective advancement.…”

“…O reconhecimento da origem epistemológica e desenvolvimento problemáticos da literatura de Marketing no que diz respeito à disseminação de conhecimento geopolitcamente localizado (Varman, 2019; Faria e Hemais, 2017; Boschi, Sauerbronn e Barros, 2017) e linguisticamente estruturado, subalternizando conhecimentos produzidos em outras línguas de origem não-Eurocêntrica (Kravets and Sandikçi, 2013) fomentou a criação de pesquisas e fóruns de discussão sobre os efeitos da colonialidade (Quijano, 2007). Tal florescimento gerou terreno fértil para discussões que, embora muitas vezes ainda ancoradas da língua inglesa e, portanto, assimetricamente colocadas para com outros idiomas, apontam a necessidade de superação de uma tóxica hierarquia de conhecimentos imposta aos pesquisadores e praticantes oriundos de geografias periféricas.…”
