    Bar soap is seemingly such an unassuming everyday household item. However it isn’t as simple as it may appear. For example, Dove soap is made up of sodium cocoylisethionate, stearic acid, coconut acid, and sodium tallowate. In addition, water, sodium isethionate, sodium stearate, cocamidopropyl betaine, sodium cocoate or palm kernelate, fragrance, sodium chloride, BHT and titanium dioxide are also used. Now, the once ordinary bar of soap seems so much more complex. To my surprise, many women around the world see a bar of Dove soap even more complex than that. The Dove campaign for Real beauty has inspired many women to think far more critically about something that they would normally not think much about. Since 2004 Dove has tried, “…to celebrate the natural physical variation embodied by all women and inspire them to have the confidence to be comfortable with themselves.”(Dove) Dove has launched a variety of advertisements, video, workshops, and sleepover events to 11 million women throughout the country.…

    Unilever owns the Dove brand that was praised for uniquely marketing their skincare products. Dove created the “Real Beauty” marketing campaign that promised to “help real women reveal their own real beauty” and the Dove Self-Esteem Fund that promotes a “change in young girls’ attitudes about themselves” (Sheth, et. al, 2014, 95). This is a dramatic step away from similar companies in the market that advertised only one standard of beauty. While Dove can be commended for addressing this social issue, the “Real Beauty” campaign should not be mistaken for Unilever’s desire to inspire women. Unilever also owns Axe, a skincare line marketed towards males that routinely depicts women in the media’s traditional sense of beauty (Stampler, 2013). The “Real Beauty” campaign is not a reflection of Unilever’s need to encourage a healing message in their marketing, rather the “Real Beauty” campaign is a way for Dove to differentiate themselves in the market to sell more product. The campaign is not a company view, but a branding…

    L’Oreal, a long time hair care, skincare, and cosmetic leader, was faced with a positioning problem of their Plenitude skincare line. The Plenitude line, which included cleansers and moisturizers had been a smashing success in the French skincare market following its 1982 introduction and was introduced in the U.S. market in 1988. It had grown quickly to become the #2 brand in the market, behind Oil of Olay. Plenitude was marketed as an upscale product bringing new people into mass channels from department stores.

    The purpose of dove’s promotional mix is to promote and advertise their product to the public to gain interest and awareness about what they have to offer. By promoting their product they are trying to increase sales of this anti-aging lotion and also increase the profit coming into the business. Also they aim to gain more interest in the brand so that they will be able to sell more of their products. Dove uses advertising by commercially advertising themselves on mobile devices, for example if you have an app open on your smart phone adverts will usually pop up at the bottom of the app, dove uses this space to advertise themselves to gain the attention of a large amount of consumers. They also use visual advertising in the form of TV adverts; these adverts are usually plain and simple so that it is just focused on the product and nothing else. They are simple but not boring therefore it holds the customers attention throughout while they are watching it. Dove uses a variety of PR companies, they do this to that their products get more recognition by the public, the PR companies will find a celebrity to be placed in the dove adverts or get a celebrity to be seen purchasing the product.
