Time of launch
We are going to launch the QuickShamp in the first week of July, 2013. As
July is the summer season in Pakistan, so the brand team has decided to
launch the product in the same month so that we can have maximum trials.

The innovation:
For the first time in Pakistan, we as brand managers of Unilever Pakistan are
introducing the concept of dry shampoo with the brand name
“QuickShamp”.
This concept is very well known in the west; however most companies
are providing dry shampoo in powdered form which makes its application a
little difficult. Realizing these consumers complain, we at Unilever Pakistan
have planned to introduce dry shampoo in liquid form in the spray bottle.
That is not all; we are also providing a dye in the dry shampoo. Serving two
benefits. That is if you want to cleanse your hair along with an attractive color
dyed hair, all you have to do is to shake the bottle and spray the content, you
will have a desired color in a minute along with the same benefit that is fresh
and revitalized hairs.

Tag line:
“Miracle in a minute”
Vision
The four pillars of our vision set out the long term direction for the company
– where we want to go and how we are going to get there:
10
We work to create a better future every day
We help people feel good, look good and get more out of life with
brands and services that are good for them and good for others.
We will inspire people to take small everyday actions that can add up
to a big difference for the world.
We will develop new ways of doing business with the aim of doubling
the size of our company while reducing our environmental impact.
We've always believed in the power of our brands to improve the quality of
people’s lives and in doing the right thing. As our business grows, so do our
responsibilities. We recognize that global challenges such as climate change
concern us all. Considering the wider impact of our actions is embedded in
our values and is a fundamental part of who we are.
“With the launch of Pakistan’s first ever dry shampoo QuickShamp aims to redefine
beauty by offering a time saving alternative to traditional hair wash, using high
quality natural ingredients keeping in mind its target market.”
Segmentation
Geographic characteristics
As far as the geographic characteristics are concerned, QuickShamp is best for
people in urban areas who are always facing the challenge of keeping pace
with the times. These individuals do not have hours to spend on hair wash
and styling yet their lifestyle demands looking neat, clean and formal.
Therefore we consider QuickShamp to be the ultimate solution for them.
Apart from that, cities with hot climatic conditions, where it is a must to
cleanse ones hair on daily basis, will also be our focus. Individuals in these
cities have to wash their hair daily and daily shampooing may result in hair
damage and in severe cases hair loss as well. So QuickShamp will eliminate
the need of shampooing ones hair everyday while keeping them neat and
cleansed.
Demographic characteristics
Age:
Although QuickShamp is appropriate for all age groups. However, our main
focus will be on individuals aged between 14 -34, as this range includes
college and university students, working men and women, fashion models
12
and even newly wed brides. All these individuals have lifestyles that oblige
them to look good without wasting hours for the cause.
Income:
The price of QuickShamp is very reasonable as compared to the international
branded dry shampoos. So the average income of our customer should be Rs.
25000 and onwards.
Social class:
As far as the social class is concerned we focus on the upper middle, middle
and elite class. It depends upon the value of QuickShamp to these different
classes. For the middle class QuickShamp would be an occasional purchase,
for the upper middle class it will be a necessity as they are the ones who are
always challenged by time constraints and for the elite class QuickShamp
would be satisfying their prestige and social needs and they might also buy it
as a fashionable item or because it would be the talk of the town.
Gender:
Although shampoos are often associated with females, QuickShamp aims to
focus on both males and females as it is a means to cleanse ones hair instantly
which is a requirement for both the genders. Therefore we can say that
QuickShamp is equally good for both men and women.
13
Psychographic segmentation
We aim to focus on individuals with the following psychographic
characteristics:
People with a busy lifestyle and who find it time consuming to wash
and style their hair everyday.
People engaged in professions that demand instant hair cleansing and
styling for example: professional models, TV hosts and film and TV
celebrities.
Corporate sector men and women who always have to be on their toes
to keep up with the best and cannot afford to look informal at an
unplanned meeting.
University and college going students who have the desire to flaunt
their hair but cannot manage to wash them every day.
Behavioral segmentation
Through secondary research data it was found that shampoo consumption
varies from person to person on the basis of usage rate and lifestyle. Among
these usage rate is one characteristic that belongs to behavioral segmentation.
Every market has mild, heavy and light users. Our main focus would be on
“heavy” users or in other words people who have the need to shampoo on a
daily basis or more often.
Target market
Apparently it seems as if shampoos like these are made to cater to the needs
of working women only. However, QuickShamp aims to cater a huge market.
Following are some of the members of our vast target market.
14
Working men and women
People belonging to this segment often face situations in which they have
to attend two or three events in a day or perhaps consecutive days and they
do not have time to clean, blow dry, straighten or style their hair each time.
Well, then QuickShamp is definitely the solution to all their problems.
QuickShamp is safe to use every day or even multiple times a day.
All in all, we can say that anybody who has hair and the desire to
flaunt them without damaging them is included in our target market.
Positioning
We aim to position QuickShamp as the fastest solution for all the time
consuming hair wash and hair management problems. QuickShamp
redefines the concept of looking beautiful as it makes the whole process easy,
16
quick and manageable. It will make shampoo a portable item with which one
can revitalize ones hair anywhere and anytime in just a few minutes.
QuickShamp will prove to be a breath of fresh air for individuals (both men
and women) who have always desired to flaunt their hair but have been
disturbed by time. We want people to perceive QuickShamp as a quick and
easy way to look and feel good about their hair.
QuickShamp has a wide variety of benefits most important of them being the
freedom to cleanse your hair anywhere and anytime without the need to
wash them.
Other benefits include:
Removal of excess oil and dandruff from the scalp.
Protection against hair damage.
The choice of dyeing ones hair in a wide variety of shades in just a
few minutes.
Fulfilling both prestige and social needs of individuals by making them feel
more confident and good about their appearance.
17
to know that whether people are willing to shift from the regular shampooing
to the advanced dry shampoos.
For this purpose we have conducted a survey that reveals what and how
people think about this new charm. We gather information through
questionnaires that provides us a tremendous amount of information that
will be discussed in detail below. But the crux of the whole situation is that
people are willing to give this new invent a try at least.
Shampoo is personal hygiene product that is very essential in our daily
needs. It feeds consumers’ physiological needs as it cleans the hair and
provides other additional benefits such as conditioning, reducing dandruff,
moisturizing, nourishing and etc. There are countless brands in the market
and only the famous ones are those that we usually hear of.
Consumers purchase by recognizing the brand and sometimes ignore
the fact about quality and price.
There are also consumers whose purchase based on its value for
money, quality, peer pressure and so forth. The intention to purchase
shampoo is thus influenced by all these factors.
One of the biggest barriers to shampoo usage is the consumer
perception that it harms the hair. Thus we typically focuses on
defending the new product against accusations by promoting the
strength, nourishment and beauty of the hair along with the convenience
keeping in mind the precious time of customers.
20% people use not only shampoos but home remedy is also preferred
because of its uniqueness of effectiveness. People also use more than
one shampoo or keep two shampoos
18
40% People buy those shampoos giving them maximum benefits.
Female normally look for shampoo matching with their hair type but
male look for combination of benefits i.e. 1st hair problem and then
fragrances followed by price.
25% of customers are influenced by advertisement
15% people change their shampoos occasionally but there are people
who never change their shampoo i.e. they are satisfied with their
current brand.
Behavior of shampooing
Consumers in the age group below 20 and 20 - 29 are more
innovative as compared to the other age groups. It has been observed
from the study that females shampoo their hair thrice a week, while
19
males prefer using shampoo on alternate days. From the survey it was
found that the Medium size pack of shampoos with quantity of 100 ml
to 250 ml is the most frequently purchased pack.
According to our sample 51 % of the people across different age
groups and income groups prefer this packaging. It can be concluded
that a majority (58%) of the consumers change their shampoo
occasionally. These consumers also tend to test the quality of new
launches.
Non availability is another factor which to a certain extent, has
prompted many consumers to use more than one brand simultaneously.
A significant figure of 57% of the consumer tend to shift to another
brand due to non - availability of their brands.
Hair problems are the most important one.
People select shampoo(s) with reference to their hair problems. Hair type also
plays a very important role. While selecting a shampoo consumers take
care to select the shampoo according to their hair type.
Our product QuickShamp is all purpose that is why it is liked by almost the
all the people from the age groups of 15 to 35.
Competitor’s Analysis
1. Industry competitor
2. Market competitor
20
Industry competitor:
QuickShamp does not have any industry competitor in Pakistan
market right now. No company is offering such a shampoo which offers the
instant cleaning of the hair even without using the water. So QuickShamp
does not have any such competitors which are close substitutes to it.
Market competitor:
QuickShamp have many market competitors. Market competitors are
those which satisfy the same customer need. So there are many shampoos in
the market that are used for shampooing of hair. e.g. Head & Shoulders,
Bioamla and many other imported shampoos. So although QuickShamp have
many market competitors, but QuickShamp has the competitive edge on
other products due to the convenience and ease of use, it is providing. And
because of these attributes QuickShamp will grab the market share in the dry
shampoo category of Pakistan market.
Today it’s very important for every brand to focus on not only adding
features to their product but also communicating these features to the target
audience. There by, here are some of the features of our brand:
21
5. Quick way to clean your scalp from excess oil
6. Earth friendly ingredients are used.
7. Ingredients are not harmful to the environment and the ozone layer.
8. Natural materials such as botanical extracts, natural oils, proteins, and
vitamins preventing hair fall and hair damage.
9. Additives such as zinc parathion are included to address the problem
of dandruff.
10. Eye catching colors- perfect combination of grey and pink
Competitive Edge
The biggest edge that we have is that UNILIVER is the first company
to launch the concept of dry shampoo in Pakistan. We in fact have no direct
competitors in Pakistan. “QuickShamp” thus is the introduction of a new
concept and is hoped to gain consumer acceptance in a very short spam of
time as it has been designed keeping in mind the need of the time.
Pricing:
The pricing of QuickShamp has been done keeping the following point
in our mind:
The buying power of our target audience.
How much does the brand concept value to them.
The usage rate of our main customers.
22
The price of alternative available.
Recommendations
We will make our product extensively available in the market after four
months of our launch provided that we get the desired response from the
customers. If the demand is increasing rapidly and awareness is well created
then we will use extensive distribution in the future.
Then we will change some of the attributes of the product, relaunch it with
different variants and better positioning, change our ad and then try to create
demand for our product.
We will keep in touch with our customers definitely by taking their feedback
through lever raabta and various surveys on weekly basis in the beginning
and then on quarterly basis later on.
