In the Indian mass market, it was found that among non-users of shampoo, most do not engage in washing their hair very often, with the majority of respondents washing their hair only once (48%) or twice (43%) per week. In those instances, most persons indicated that they didn’t use Shampoo to wash their hair, but rather alternative products such as Shikakai or soap; only 24% of the respondents used shampoo. Although rural India was considered to be a significantly ‘dark’ media market, with only 38% TV penetration, this medium plays a substantial role in creating the need for and increasing shampoo usage...

...companies in the world, was broadcasted on the 5th of February in 2006, being the first ever Super Bowl commercial for its producers. As always, humor was expected to be the governing ingredient throughout the Super Bowl ads and, with that in mind, it is easy to tell that Nationwide was also hoping to score some touchdowns by using wittiness to connect with its audience. The commercial starts out as a cheesy, hair shampoo promoting advertising. Fabio, the main character and an Italian, blond-longhaired gondolier dressed in a white shirt with his chest showing, romantically floats down a canal in Venice being escorted by a beautiful young woman sitting next to a bunch of red roses whose long-brunette hair is moved by the wind while she is trying to get the gondolier’s attention. The scene is accompanied by romantic, slow, violin/fiddle music when a manly voice in a ton one recognizes out of fairytales pops in: “From the man who brought fantasy to life comes a hair product born into reality – Fabio. Beauty has a face. Perfection a name – Fabio.” Other imagery, such as a white horse, a same colored flower opening in slow motion, Fabio blowing petals into the camera and between it all a shampoo bottle labeled “Fabio, Shampoo Di Italia” are shortly introduced before the gondola passes under a bridge after Fabio reaches for one of the red roses. “And now you can experience a shampoo worthy of only one man’s…..” Suddenly the voiceover and music stop, the beautiful woman...

...Introduction of Dove Shampoo Dove shampoo is a very well known brand which works under Unilever’s head name. It began its working in 1957 by launching a personal cleansing bar. Later on they developed a new cleanser for burned or effected skins by using the old formula and it was the time during World War II, when such cases usually appeared. At that time it was a very innovative concept that a non-soap cleanser is available which allows users to get rid of skin dirt without using the soap again and again. In 1970 a dermatology study recognized the efforts of Dove shampoo in this regard and at that time they started gaining popularity among beauty brands. And nowadays it is being considered as the World’s top brand in cleansing products and a lot of research has been done on its product innovation and marketing strategies. BACKGROUND Unilever is an Anglo-Dutch company, with a history of colonial exploitation, on which it has gradually built its capital. Today it owns most of the world's consumer product brands in food, beverages, cleaning agents and personal care products. Unilever employs more than 247,000 people and had worldwide revenue of €48760 million in 2002. Unilever has two parent companies: Unilever NV in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and Unilever PLC in London, United Kingdom. This arrangement is similar to that of Reed Elsevier and that of Royal Dutch Shell prior to their unified structure. Both Unilever companies have the same directors and effectively operate...

...Clairol’s touch of yogurt shampoo Behavioral Analysis for Marketing Decisions Report Clairol’s touch of yogurt shampoo Behavioral Analysis for Marketing Decisions Report EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Clairol’s Touch of Yogurt Shampoo is our product which is launched by P&G. Our product is extracted vitamin and lactic acid from yogurt perfectly combined with shampoo to provide a neutral care to your dull and dry hair. In 1979, P&G first launched Clairol’s Touch of Yogurt Shampoo, however it didn’t gain enough market share and fail to survive in the market. Today, we want to re-launched a brand new repackaging yogurt shampoo with new advertisements, new positioning and new target market. We believe that yogurt shampoo is a really good personal care product which fits perfectly into the “back to natural and organic lifestyle” trend in today’s society. In order to understand who will be our target consumer and how people’s view about ‘back to nature’ lifestyle, we conducted interviews and survey. From the result, we understand that most people do love the back to nature lifestyle as we assumed before and it also confirms our original idea about our new positioning. After a redesign of packaging with a transparent bottle and metal pump, we want to target our yogurt shampoo to a premium shampoo product in the niche market, aiming customers who are seeking high quality lifestyle, pursuing a natural, organic and healthy lifestyle. Our target consumer would be female who are...

...looking at the first reason, which is purchase frequency. Next, I’ll focus on huge gross margin, and to finish off, I’ll consider growing men’s cosmetics market. Right, to begin with, let’s look at purchase frequency, which means people buy beauty products regularly, once a month for example. Even during the Great Recession of 2008, consumers did not stop spending money on these products. So why do they purchase frequently? There are three reasons. Firstly, people always concentrate on appearance. That’s not to say being beautiful or handsome, because the basic requirement is being tidy and comfortable. This graph shows the percentage of U.S. adults who choose these beauty products at a regular basis. The most frequently chosen products are shampoos, conditioners and skin care products....

...contains a thiol group (-SH). The thiol group replaces one of the sulphur atoms in the disulphide bond, like this: Keratin-S-S-keratin + 2HS-CH2CO2NH4 --> -HO2CH2CS-SCH2CO2H + 2NH3 + 2HS-keratin When the disulphide bond is broken, the keratin bundles come apart, and hair is weakened. Ammonium thioglycolate is therefore used widely in beauty parlours when customers want their hair re-styled. However, if you use too much of it, or if the reaction is left for too long, you could end up going bald. So do not, ever, try it at home! If you have watched the film Legally Blonde, you'll have seen Reese Witherspoon (acting as a law student) win her first case by her knowledge of the chemistry of perms! 1 How to get your hair re-styled If you'd like your hair curled, it's called a perm. If you like it straightened, that's rebonding. In both cases, the steps are very similar. First, the beautician will wash your hair thoroughly to clean it. Then she applies perm salt (ammonium thioglycolate solution) to it...

...Peer Pressure In this background paper, we will be discussing advertising and how it uses peer pressure to influence our buying power in consumer science. Our experiment will address these key issues and how they work together. Our presentation is focused on the tactics used in successful advertising of a product using commercials to influence consumers. A consumer is a person who purchases goods or services for personal, family, and business use. Consumers have a choice to pick and choose what products they would like to use or buy. Consumers play a vital role in our economy. The more people spend, the greater success of the company, the more jobs created and the more tax revenue for our government. (Consumer Dictionary.com). This consumer can be persuaded by advertisements of products. Advertising is about selling a product and the how this is done is by using by bright colors, sentimental values, sex appeal, brand name, jingle tunes, slogans, low involvement, high involvement, celebrity endorsements and humor, in commercials. Humor is a common method used by advertisers to create an interest in their product. This method seems to be wonderful for getting consumers attention, it works really well. People like funny situations they tend to relax and pay attention when something can invoke their sense of humor. This puts them in a good mood, creates a more comfortable atmosphere and a more positive image for the company or product. This makes the product easier to remember...

Detentions are supposed to be made only in a reasonable manner and only for a reasonalbe period of time. In the state of Georgia, according to Ga.

On the other hand store owner are responsible to post a notice in a clear and visible manner advising patrons of the establishment is using an antishoplifting or inventory control device is being utilized.

A person may be subject to a forcible stop and detention if probable cause has been established and if a customer activates a security alarm. The time of the detention must be reasonable.
