DOVE Existing Product

Introduction
Dove is a soap bar and personal care brand (including hair care products) owned by Unilever. Dove is primarily made from synthetic surfactants, as well as some vegetable oil based soap ingredients, such as sodium palm kern elate. These synthetic Surfactants are what give Dove the leading mildness among cleansing bars. Dove is formulated to be pH neutral, with pH that is usually between 6.5 and 7.5. Dove products include: antiperspirants/deodorants, body washes, beauty bars, lotions/moisturizers, hair care and facial care products. The bar forms of Dove are currently produced in the cool moisture, exfoliating, sensitive skin unscented, nutrium nourishing, white, pink, calming night, pro-age, and energy glow versions.

History of Dove soap

In 1955, Dove soap was launched in US. Dove contained a patented, mild cleansing ingredient, into the soap category. It was positioned then and now as a beauty bar with one-fourth cleansing cream that moisturizes skin while washing as opposed to the drying effect of regular soap. Advertisements reinforced the message by showing the cream being poured into the beauty bar. In 1979, the phrase cleaning cream was replaced with moisturizer cream. In 1979, a Pennsylvania dermatologist showed that Dove dried and irritated skin significantly less than

ordinary soaps, based on which Unilever started aggressive marketing and won more than 24% of the market by 2003. In 2006, Dove started the Dove self-esteem Fund. The goal of the fund is to be an agent of change to educate and inspire girls on a wider definition of beauty and to make them feel more confident about themselves. To this end, Dove have created a number of largely online- only short films, including Daughters (which also aired in a 75-second spot during the Super bowl XL), Evolution, Onslaught, and Amy. Over the last few years, Dove has focused on delivering products that inspire women to enjoy their own beauty and individuality. As part of our campaign for Real Beauty, the Dove Self Esteem Fund (DSEF) was launched in 2004 to demonstrate our commitment to the brands mission to make more women feel beautiful every day, by widening todays view of beauty and by inspiring women to take great care of them. The DSEF aims to educate and inspire young girls through a series of tools and workshops which ultimately protects and nurtures their body-related self-esteem and enables them to become fully realized adults. Through the Fund we aim to reach the lives of 5 million young people by the end of 2010, with at least one hour of participation in one of our self-esteem programmes.

Key Facts

Concept Evaluation:
We evaluate the concept through the consumer survey and we found that majority of consumers prefer to buy TUBE PACK which was in favor of the idea and the idea was excellent. After that we evaluate the cost and we found that per unit cost of TUBE is less than the jar packs. Cost of TUBE pack is 4 to 5 percent less than the jar pack.

Purpose of New Packaging: Marketing:

The packaging can be used by marketers to encourage potential buyers to purchase the product. Package design has been an important and constantly evolving phenomenon. Therefore we thought that DOVE cream which is in jar pack if bring in TUBE pack the more customers will attract towards it.

Convenience:
The TUBE packages have features which add convenience in distribution, handling, display, sale, opening, reclosing, use, and reuse. So this TUBE pack is more convenient and expedient to use.

Compete in the market:

Most of the creams in the market are in TUBE pack and people like to buy TUBE pack creams, so there was an opportunity to bring well known DOVE cream in TUBE pack so that it compete effectively against its competitors.

To increase market growth and share:

Majority of the consumers buy TUBE pack creams, if DOVE come from jar to the TUBE pack then definitely the consumers who like

TUBE pack will switch on to this new pack of DOVE. Ultimately the market share and growth will increase.

Conclusion:
The change in packaging of an existing well known brand can increase market share, attraction, customer base, loyalty but it should be done after doing consumer survey otherwise it can be negative. Modifying the packaging of established brand can cause negative consequences but for this there is a need of proper research. If there is a chance or favorable opportunity for alteration then avail that opportunity carefully as in case of DOVE cream.
