All-rounded high-quality services and products

        Ms Sit Pou I, Operation Director of Francine Chicard said, the founder of Francine Chicard Chan Kuok Sang initially engaged in psychological counselling in Macao. Knowing that aromatic products can help calm the mood, he was determined to create a Macao brand for fragrance and essential oils. So far, the business has been extended to the Mainland and has also developed one-stop services, which is quite an advantage in the industry. In the purchase of raw materials, he specifically travelled around the world to visit the regions where many high-quality plants are grown and ensure quality from the source; in terms of production, he set up a range of facilities in his own factory in Shunde, Guangdong, such as a research and development laboratory, a room for fragrance development and a bio-component testing room. The factory has reached international certification standards of GMP and ISO, among others, and the manufacturing process has been recognised; in addition, the company can also provide a full range of custom one-stop solutions from packaging design, freight logistics, marketing planning, wholesale and retail services.

Disinfection products made with essential oil that offer more choices for permanent epidemic prevention

        Facing the unexpected impact of the COVID-19 epidemic, Francine Chicard quickly adjusted the formula in response to market demand and successfully launched the "Francine Chicard" series of disinfection products, including tea tree oil non-wash spray for children, “breath guard” essential oil and  “antibacterial guard” essential oil to name a few. Ms Sit said as the anti-epidemic effort has become a normal part of life, the daily use of the usual disinfection products can inevitably lead to negative effects on the skin and nerves as they contain chemical ingredients. Therefore, she hopes the combination of disinfection products and natural pure essential oils can provide better choices for health-conscious people.

Active in MICE events and exploring TCM market

        In order to promote their “Made-in-Macao” products, Francine Chicard has exhibited in “Macao Ideas” Exhibition Centre under Macao Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM) since 2015, hoping to gain access to wider business opportunities through “Macao Ideas”. At the same time, Francine Chicard has actively co-operated with Macao local enterprises. Last year, they launched a cross-over aromatic disinfection product with Macau Lian Da Environment Protection Technology Co. Ltd. to enhance advertising. In addition, they constantly participate in MICE events organised by IPIM to expand their customer base both at home and abroad.

 

        Ms Sit revealed that in the past, their sales channels were mostly concentrated in beauty salons or offline retail outlets. As online marketing further becomes a trend, in the future, on the basis of traditional sales channels, Francine Chicard will put more effort in to  developing online sales; moreover, the brand also plans to further develop in the field of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), working with well-known medical universities in the Mainland on scientific research and exploring the application and efficacy of essential oils in the field of TCM, so that more people can understand the benefits of essential oils.
