...Introduction “Successful marketing requires that companies cultivate a connection with their customers” (Kotler & Keller, 2009, p. 82). Though a broad based company, with a diverse and extensive product offerings, Colgate-Palmolive has successfully used market segmentation to identify unique needs of its consumer markets. They have combined the use of market segmentation and the ability to effectively gauge and respond to consumer behavior to divide and conquer the respective industries: Oral care, Personal Care, Household Surface Care, Fabric Care and Pet Nutrition. Geographical Segmentation Colgate has cornered significant markets with sales in North America (19%), Latin America (27%), Europe/South Pacific (21%), Greater Asia/ Africa (19% (“Colgate-Palmolive: A Strong International Position¸ 2012). One of the reasons for Colgate-Palmolive’s success globally is its targeting and tailoring the products to specific local regions. The company has identified in its outlook, that there will be “increases in media investments, targeted geographically” (Consumer Analyst Group of New York Conference”, 2012). Each year, for example, in one of their largest market, India, the company signs a local celebrity as the local Colgate brand ambassador, this year it is popular Indian actor (“Colgate signs Allu Arjun as brand ambassador”, 2012).

...2.1 consumer preference 2.1.1 CONSUMER The consumer is the one who pays to consume goods and services produced As such,consumers play a vital role in the economic system of a nation. Without consumer demand,producers would lack one of the key motivations to produce: to sell to consumers. The consumeralso forms part of the chain of distribution. Recently in marketing instead of marketers generating broad demographic profiles and psycho-graphic profiles of market segments, marketers have started to engage in personalized marketing, permission marketing, and mass customization. * ------------------------------------------------- Law and politics The law primarily uses the notion of the consumer in relation to consumer protection laws, and the definition of consumer is often restricted to living persons (i.e. not corporations or businesses) and excludes commercial users.[3] A typical legal rationale for protecting the consumer is based on the notion of policing market failures and inefficiencies, such as inequalities of bargaining power between a consumer and a business.[4] As of all potential voters are also consumers, consumer protection takes on a clear political significance. * ------------------------------------------------- Public reaction While use of the term consumer is widespread among governmental, business and media organisations, many individuals and groups find the label objectionable because it assigns a limited and passive role to their activities...

Over a period of time, advertising has been undergoing morphing changes slowly and steadily with multi-facet approach.
