流水画,我对你的帖子很感兴趣,能多写写你这个case吗?是奥秘洗衣粉,还是奥妙OMO?
电解质,很高兴在MSN上碰到你。
这份报告是在2003年6月完成的,但形势变化更快,我昨天特意去几家超市看了看牙膏,感触很深。
先谈谈作者从高露洁case中的learning吧.
1.Advertising support
Advertising focus on the flagship variant.
No support fo the 'strong' variant other than during launch phase.
Brand halo effect ensured that teh 'strong' variant lived off the support for the flagship.
In term of 'Halo':
Colgate not spends significantly in promoting its premium Total variant.
This acts as an image leader though it contributes less than 10% of the brand sales.
Its' 24 hour protection' benefit (cleans between brushed support) is both powerful and differentiating and helps raise the image of the whole brand.
2.Branding
Colgate 'Strong' rather than Colgate 'Cheap'
Key learning is that branding should not indicate lower quality.
3.Pricing
Colgate Regular---173
Colgate Strong---100
Zhonghua---80
Closer in pricing to local brands than to its own flagship.
Ensured that brnd gained by upgrading 'local' brand users rather than cannibalizing on the Main variant.
The learning is to price it closer to the source of business (local brands) rather than the parent brand.
价格这块很耐人寻味,再对比Whisper Cotton Soft的价格修正变化。
2002年第3季度,Whisper的二线品牌Cotton Soft在北方城市试水上市,广告'low cost'中花了不少心思描摹它的新低价格3.5元(女孩子在云端往slot里扔钱币)
However,the pricing of the day type is too close to the main brand and too distant from the local brands and is likely to cannibalize the flagship brand rather than attract user from the local options.
2003年第3季度,Whisper Cotton Soft在全国正式上市,经过试水后,价格下调到2.1RMB-2.3RMB。
并推出两个广告同时播出。一个是30秒的修改版'low cost‘,最大的变化是加强了DEMO和一些细节来强调它的定位'SOFT’,并将价格变成2.1元。
同时辅以15秒的vending machine,采用钱从vending manchine中退出来强调它进一步降价。
无独有偶,2003年第3季度,强生的娇爽Stayfree也推出了它针对中小城市的二线品牌Culmbus,定位也是棉柔,价格在2RMB-2.5RMB。
但它没有经过试水,一上来就在全国中小城市铺开,与护舒宝的棉柔展开了短兵相接的争夺。
不过,娇爽Culmbus的整体策略不如护舒宝精明,广告表现也模糊不清,而护舒宝的试水则为它赢得了调整的战机,无论是价格,还是产品表现,还是广告沟通。
但是,Whisper也有失误之处,那就是在广告传播区隔上。(见下所述)
从广告传播区隔来看,高露洁和佳洁仕都采用了同样的策略,(佳洁仕先主推茶爽,最近主推“双效”,都是高端产品,而对它的低端产品闭口不提。)
但Whisper Cotton Soft在全国上市时,并没有做明显的区隔,heavy media的策略在一线城市照样毫不留情的轰炸,造成了一线城市的消费者对Whisper这个品牌的preuium形象迅速降低。
