POSITIONING:
• Through professionals like Dentists who can easily steer the minds of his patients
• Invest aggressively on advertisements so that the ads can automatically place the product in the super-premium product category
• Mainstream strategy: Product should be subject to offers and discounts like combo packs, family packs, toothbrush and toothpaste combos (which already showed a 17% raise in consumption before)
• Niche Marketing strategy: The superior technical features of the toothbrush should be heavily campaigned by segmenting its various features separately
• Advertisements through supermarkets and drug stores

BRANDING:
• Emphasizing on the brand name Colgate on the new Precision toothbrush would cause greater cannibalization of the existing Colgate toothbrushes
• The usage of the brand name Colgate will strengthen the brand as a whole and lure consumers who are in favor of the brand- on the whole, create brand equity

COMMUNICATION & PROMOTION:
• Gathering data to review the product on the consumers: - Four concept test conducted amongst 400 adults (Colgate Plus, Reach and Ora-B) - Result: The consumers were highly motivated by Precision toothbrush claims - Result of in-home usage test: 77% claimed that Precision was much more effective than their current toothbrush -Product exposure to consumers was proportional to consumer’s acceptance of the product

![Page 15: Siddhant colgate](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062903/58cebc0b1a28abb2218b6cf9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
MAIN STREAM STRATEGY:
PROS CONS
Initial rise in sales as consumers would want to try the super-premium category product after its launch
Overshadow Colgate Plus
Increase in sales as the product performance is genuine and superior
More competition and pressure for coming up with a product that has more advanced features as the competitors will buck up
Could result in supply of insufficient products

NICHE MARKET STRATEGY:
PROS CONS
Less overshadowing on Colgate Plus as each will have its own space
Will not contribute much to profits in the future
Will enter into the super-premium category and increase its brand equity
Will face less competition and pressure from competitors
