Life Cant Wait

Sunsilks latest campaign, Life Cant Wait, aims to inspire women all over the globe to live their lives to the fullest. The founding idea behind the campaign is that hair can dramatically alter a girls mood and actions. The philosophy behind it is that by taking appearance into their own hands, girls are equally taking positive steps towards being more in control of their life: Hair On= Life On

Market Strategy
In the early years, Sunsilk focused much of its marketing attention on gaining international presence. A new campaign was launched to recruit younger users. The new products focused on hair color, texture, feeling, dryness, etc. The updated Sunsilk campaign, "Get Hairapy", followed the same strategy, marking a bold move towards users in their 20s and upwards said to be in their "quarter-life crisis".

Pricing
The present strategic move is designed to offer a similar consumer value to users of shampoo bottles. Thus, the 125 ml pack for Rs 50 has been converted into 100 ml pack at Rs 37; the 250 ml pack at Rs 100 will now be 200 ml at Rs 70. The steepest cut has been effected in the 400 ml pack size which will now cost Rs 25 less at Rs 125.

Cont.
Taking the shampoo price wars further, Hindustan Lever had again slashed prices, but this time the price cut has been in the Sunsilk Natural brand. The company has effected price cuts between 7.5 per cent to 15 per cent across pack sizes, while retaining the 40 ml size at Rs 10 and also the sachets at price points of 50 paise, Re 1and Rs 2.
