    The product selected for analysis is Evo Water Killer Dry Shampoo. Before developing a detailed marketing operational plan, it is of great necessity to firstly clarify the situation faced by the entire shampoo industry. In terms of the macro-environment for shampoo industry, the environmental and technological factors from PESTLE model are the two most influential ones for shampoo manufacturers. Known as a FMCG product with relatively low prices and stable market demand, shampoo business are less influential by political, economic, social and legal factors. In comparison, technological factor is important as the R&D expenditure on shampoo chemical composition or formula substantially determines its quality and functionality. On the other hand, environmental factor is crucial for its correspondence to the increasing embracement by consumers to environmentally friendly product. Survey Monkey (2015) found that 35% of consumers are very likely to spend more money on products that are better for the environment, and 56% of respondents are at least moderately willing to spend more for environmental contribution. Similar research evidence was also revealed by Environmental Leader (2013), highlighting an increasing consumer trend of welcoming the environmentally friendly product. Based on such market opportunity identified, the strength of Evo Water Killer Dry Shampoo such as the saving of time, labour and water consumption can be used to capture the market attention. Such strength is also a result of technological input and can be seen as a technological point of difference. The weakness of Evo Water Killer Dry Shampoo is however the low brand awareness in the market. This problem could be further deteriorating with the threat of fierce market competition by existing big brands such as Dove and Johnson.…

    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…
