Nivea
I visited Woolworth s and the and I picked up Nivea, Dove, Brut and Rowena for deodorants. The prices were $4.59, $3.99, $4.30 and $3.78

They are similar products in comparison and the prices are very close to each other.

I did a marketing research and the strategies are similar as follows

I researched the companies and the way they target their market they do primary and secondary research

Secondary research

In the deodorant category, companies used many secondary research sources to discover consumers' views and their need for deodorants. These related to different markets and were supplied by local country market researchers. These included a consumer usage and attitude study. And external study to cover the importance of scent and fragrance to people's well-being and mood.

Primary research

They commissioned some primary qualitative research in key markets. This was aided by the local Market Research Manager. The aim was to understand the motivations for using deodorant amongst the female consumer.
Consumers showed a need for a 'beautifying, caring deodorant'. Companies’ generated ideas on how to address the consumer need.
The companies needed to know which concept was preferred by prospective consumers. It carried out market research to test whether the concepts would work. The research was conducted amongst the desired target market, the desired target market was 18-35 year-old women & men who, followed fashion and looked for products with extra benefits.
1) Deodorant category performance measures. These included wetness, dryness, and fragrance. The new concept must deliver generic core benefits.
2) Product attributes specific to the new product and core values. For example, it leaves your skin feeling silky and gives you beautiful underarms. Consumers needed to understand and see these benefits.
3) The product needed to be relevant and motivate a consumer to purchase it.

    L’Oreal assumed the American consumer’s lack of knowledge about skin care compared to their European counterparts would require their marketing strategy to educate the consumer concerning technology, product benefits (incl. product range logic), and competitive differentiation. The Acceptor/Rejector Studies revealed, however, that the product packaging was “confusing”, contained too many technical words, and wordy explanations without describing the actual purpose of the product. In an attempt to recreate the demonstration and training experience found in department and specialty stores, L’Oréal relied heavily on captivating and informative packaging to bridge the information gap. As a result, L’Oréal overwhelmed the self-service/mass- market consumer by over communicating and providing too much seemingly unnecessary information on the package itself.…

    It wasn’t the typical look at all of these random features of body wash or deodorant, attempting demonstrate how effective it is with overlaid graphics and terms that don’t mean anything to the consumer. Instead, “Wieden+Kennedy” chose to create a personality that the audience would like and want to associate with. They don’t focus on the product so much as they do the personality and the attitude behind it, and in doing so they created a persona for the audience to not only relate to, but…

    Maybeline Face Powder

    • 2838 Words
    • 12 Pages

    Months after the successful launching of Maybelline Clear Smooth Face Powder, Rose B. Librieza, Coordinator of Marketing Operations, found herself reading survey results handed to her by one of her staff. As of three weeks ago, there is still no substantial data that will tell whether the Clear Smooth Face Powder is now the product leader in terms of its category in the market so she had a survey done to evaluate product performance. The report (consisting of 25 respondents in a random sample, Exhibit 1) contains information that she would use to plan the next steps the company needs to take to maximize the visibility of their product. Rose is determined to take advantage of the fact that the market was very receptive to the launch. In fact, the pressed powder easily became one of the brand’s best selling items. She is serious about making Maybelline Clear Smooth Face Powder one of the leaders in the pressed powder market. A study that was done prior to the launch of the product indicated that pressed powders reflect more than 80% market penetration, which means more than 80% of the respondents used a pressed powder at least once in the year prior to the study. This shows that pressed powders do have high usage in the country. Another study conducted during the product launch revealed that more than 90% of the purchasers were very satisfied with the product and more than 90% also had an intention to repurchase the product—one of the highest repurchase intentions Maybelline has seen in a product launch so far. In terms of sell out, the product has been the main driver for the double digit growth in the face category. Sales for this product increased despite the fact that it was not advertised in the television. Due to these reasons, Rose carefully analyzes the results of the current survey on her desk to draft a marketing strategy that will ensure increased market awareness of their product, and thus, to have…
