    Sure Deodorants : Would Rexona's Failure Haunt?

    With the launch of Sure Deodorants, HUL has brought the world’s no.1 brand in deodorants to India with the hope that it garners the same level of success for HUL as achieved in Europe and America. Before the launch of rexona deodorants in 1995, the segment was a non-existent one and HUL’s insight of an existing market convinced them of taking there almost 50 year old rexona brand (rexona soaps were launched in 1947 in India) into the segment. The fact that within 2 years of its launch it held a market share of almost 40 percent with the remaining being split between smaller and lesser known competitors like Old Spice, Brut etc. is a testimony of HUL’s sound business sense. HUL’s general business trend of having multiple products in the same segment for capturing all the benefits of the multiple positioning continued here also, with its launch of Axe in 1999, its new trendier and youthful range of deodorants. Aggressive marketing and the westernized feel made Axe achieve 40 percent market share within 2 years of its launch and became the market leader, a position it holds currently too. This made rexona deodorant’s market share dip to 9 percent. The large dip in rexona’s presence forced HUL to try different ideas to combat it, starting from clubbing it with Lux to changing of the segment it operated in from deodorants to anti-per spirants. Calling rexona a failure would be undermining the market Axe has garnered today, once created by rexona. Axe has always been a dearer child to HUL, be it marketing or advertising. Per se rexona was nowhere near Axe notwithstanding the fact that Indian consumers has always associated rexona with traditional soap industry and this always prevented HUL from marketing it the way Axe was marketed. It is also a fact that consumers especially Indian avoid products that create confusion, like the one created by rexona by switching from deodorants to anti per spirants. Such kind of…

    FMCG are products that have a quick shelf turnover, at relatively low-cost and don’t require a lot of thought, time and financial investment to purchase. The margin of profit on every individual FMCG product is less. However the huge number of goods sold is what makes the difference. Hence profit in FMCG goods always translates to number of goods sold. Fast Moving Consumer Goods is a classification that refers to a wide range of frequently purchased consumer products including: toiletries, soaps, cosmetics, teeth cleaning products, shaving products, detergents, other non-durables such as glassware, bulbs, batteries, paper products and plastic goods, such as buckets. ‘Fast Moving’ is in opposition to consumer durables such as kitchen appliances that are generally replaced less than once a year. The category may include pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics and packaged food products and drinks, although these are often categorized separately. The term Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) is used interchangeably with Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG). Three of the largest and best known examples of Fast Moving Consumer Goods companies are Nestlé, Unilever and Procter & Gamble. Examples of FMCGs are soft drinks, tissue paper, and chocolate bars. Examples of FMCG brands are Coca-Cola, Kleenex, Pepsi and Believe. The FMCG sector represents consumer goods required for daily or frequent use. The main segments of this sector are personal care (oral care, hair care, soaps, cosmetics, toiletries), household care (fabric wash and household cleaners), branded and packaged food, beverages (health beverages, soft drinks, staples, cereals, dairy products, chocolates, bakery products) and tobacco. The Indian FMCG sector is an important…
