Category Overview Product Category [5], [6] Shampoo as a product is used nearly universally among consumers because it is considered an essential part of personal hygiene and a grooming staple. As a result, shampoo is the most popular product in the haircare category and has nearly universal household penetration. Due to the products functional nature, there is stable growth in the product category albeit consumers being budget minded when shopping for shampoo.
Industry Sales Overview [7] Overall, shampoo sales fluctuate very little (with the exception of during the 2008 recession). It has experienced sale gains of 2-3% annually since 2011, increasing in total by 12% from 2008 - 2013. This growth trend is expected to last through 2018 simply because of the fact that shampoo is a staple in almost every household. However, because the competition is very high in such a mature product segment, it poses as a great challenge for hair care brands that want to improve their growth rates dramatically. Sales and segment share for Garnier Fructis has declined. Primary competitors include Herbal Essences, Suave, Pantene, and Dove. Both Herbal Essences and Pantene are under parent company Procter & Gamble, which has the biggest market share with a total of 36.4%. Suave and Dove are under parent company Unilever which has the second biggest market share of 27.7%. Secondary competitors include dry shampoo as a product, Tresemme, and Head & Shoulders. Tresemme and Head & Shoulders are in Unilever and Procter & Gamble respectively.
LOreal - 11.8% Garnier Fructis - 8%

What they Read & Watch:
Current Target Audience
Why do we want to continue targeting Garnier Fructis current audience? [34] Data shows that the young females of the 18-34 age group is the biggest
population out of Garnier Fructis users Garnier Fructis price range appeals more to the demographics in this age
group; only 18% of our current audience buys the lowest priced haircare brand Garnier Fructis current audience is the least likely to always buy the same
brand of shampoo compared to other demographics; they are more likely to try different brands of shampoo; therefore even though Garnier Fructis has the least market share amongst its primary competitors now, consumers using its primary competitors products are still its potential consumers
Garnier Fructis fresh and fun brand personality appeals to their current audience, and also distinguishes from Suave Pro and Pantene Pros brand image
Q:What is your hair type? About 51% people think they have normal hair Analysis: The result implies that most people have low awareness about their hair type, so they just choose the products for normal hair. We should make more people knowledgeable about their hair type and create demand for shampoos with specific functions.
Q: What is one thing that your current shampoo doesnt have that you would like it
to have? The graphic on the right captures some key words respondents wrote. Analysis: Most of people have more expectations on improvement of function. Some people also expect changes in price and improvement of fragrance.
Quan
Consumer Insight For users: Garnier Fructis has high level of brand
awareness since more than 64% respondents have heard of Garnier Fructis and about 40% people think Garnier Fructis is a famous brand.
Most of people buy Garnier because of its low price, variety function and fragrance.
Most of users feel very satisfied with accessibility and fragrance of Garnier Fructis.
For non-users: Most of people no longer use
Garnier Fructis mainly because of its function.
Because most of people responded that they have high willingness to try a new brand, thus Garnier Fructis has low brand loyalty.
Q:If you are using Garnier Fructis, what was the primary reason for purchasing it:
Q: If you no longer use Garnier Fructis, what was the main reason for change:
Problem to Solve
Goal: Gain more market share and sales by increasing brand differentiation and loyalty.
Problem: People care about the function of shampoos, but a majority think that they have normal hair type when they do not necessarily do. Our solution: 1. Release trial size sets 2. Group three similar Garnier Fructis shampoos together and sell it
as a set 3. Each bottle of shampoo in the trial size set will be 100 ml 4. By testing out the three similar functioned Garnier Fructis
shampoos, consumers will know what specific hair type they are and they can then buy the same shampoo of a bigger size
Social Media: The photographer will upload the consumers before and after photo on Garnier Fructis
social media account with the consumers permission with the hashtag If the consumer Likes his or her photo uploaded on Garnier Fructis social media account,
he or she will receive a free trial set of the shampoo that matches their hair type
Crea
What? General survey to determine your hair type placed on magazine websites
How? The survey result will reveal the survey takers hair type Garnier Fructis shampoo will be one of the recommended shampoos Garnier Fructis will offer ONE free coupon of a free trial set that matches the
survey takers hair type
Crea
Scene 1 It is early morning and three women of different
ethnicity and hair type appear in three separate screens. They are in the shower and are frustrated with their Garnier Fructis shampoo.
The use of three women of different ethnicity and hair type will contribute to the message that everyone and every hair type can find its perfect match
Crea
Media Plan What strategy? Pulsing Strategy; because shampoo is an essential part of personal hygiene, so there
will always be a purchasing demand
Therefore there is no specific season for buying it or not, instead, people buy it continuously, so our campaign will also go on for the whole year, but we will intensify our campaign during seasons where our trial sets will be in higher demand
When during the year will advertising be placed? Back to School (August - September)
Parents and students will be doing lots of shopping for school necessities and therefore be more willing to try new products along with their new start
Holiday Season (November - January) Consumers will be shopping for holiday gifts and be on the lookout for discounts
and sales Travel Season ( Summer: May - August)
People often travel during the summer and hence will be more inclined to buy travel sized shampoo for convenience
Media Plan Internet Plan 18-34 year old demographic are
heavy internet users Putting advertisements and
interacting with them on social media would increase our online presence and also encourage them to purchase our products
Online ads on YouTube, online surveys on magazine websites, Before/After photos on Garnier Fructis social media accounts (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter)
Guerilla Marketing [33] 18-34 year old demographic are
more likely to be attracted to innovative marketing strategies
Having pop-up salons is a type of an innovative marketing approach
Our pop-up salons fully executes our marketing objective of the Try It to Know It campaign
