I. INTRODUCTION
In the present time, personal hygiene of a person must be considered. Due to
different pollution, hair is basically one part of our body that is being damaged. Thats
why Unilever was the most trusted company in terms of home care brands, food care
brands and personal care brands not only in Europe but all over the globe.
Unilever was created in 1930 by the amalgamation of the operations of British soap
maker Lever Brothers and Dutch margarine producer Margarine Unie, a logical merger
as palm oil was a major raw material for both margarines and soaps and could be
imported more efficiently in larger quantities. The food and consumer products giant
actually has two parent companies: Unilever PLC, based in the United Kingdom, and
Unilever N.V., based in The Netherlands. The two companies, which operate virtually as
a single corporation, are run by a single group of directors and are linked by a number of
agreements. Unilever considers itself the second largest consumer goods firm in the
world, trailing only Philip Morris Companies Inc., and produces numerous brand name
foods, cleaning products, and personal care items. About 52 percent of revenues are
generated in the foods sector; brands include Imperial and Promise margarines, Lipton
tea, Rag foods, Lawry's seasonings, Breyers ice cream, and Birds Eye and Gorton's
frozen foods. One-quarter of sales come from the personal care area; brands include
Caress and Dove soap, Pears and Pond's skin care products, Degree, Faberg, and Sure
deodorants, Suave and Salon Selectives hair care items, Close-Up, Mentadent, and
Pepsodent oral care products, and Calvin Klein, Elizabeth Arden, and Elizabeth Taylor
prestige fragrances&mdash well as such miscellaneous brands as Q-Tips and Vaseline.
Unilever's third major sector is that of cleaning products, which is responsible for about
22 percent of turnover; brands include Wisk and All laundry detergents, Snuggle and
Final Touch fabric softeners, and Sunlight dish detergents, and this area also includes the
company's line of institutional cleaning products. Unilever maintains production facilities
in 88 countries and sells its products in an additional 70. About 47 percent of revenues
originate in Europe, 21 percent in North America, 14 percent in the Asia-Pacific region,
12 percent in Latin America, and six percent in Africa and the Middle East.
During the depression of the 1880s, Lever, then a salesman for his father's
wholesale grocery business, recognized the advantages of not only selling, but also
manufacturing, soap, a noncyclical necessity item. His father, James Lever, initially was
opposed to the idea, believing that they should remain grocers, not manufacturers. He
softened, however, in the face of his son's determination. In 1885 William established a
soap factory in Warrington as a branch of the family grocery business. Within a short
time Lever was selling his soap throughout the United Kingdom, as well as in continental
Europe, North America, Australia, and South Africa.
William also began a tradition that lasted well into the 20th century--that of
producing all its raw components. Lever Brothers, a vertically integrated company, grew
to include milling operations used to crush seeds into vegetable oil for margarine as well
as packaging and transporting businesses for all of its products, which then included Lux,
Lifebuoy, Rinso, and Sunlight soaps.
In 1914, as the German Navy began to threaten the delivery of food imports--
particularly Danish butter and Dutch margarine&mdash Britain, the British government
asked William Lever to produce margarine. He eagerly accepted the opportunity,
believing that the margarine business would be compatible with the soap business
because the products both required oils and fats as raw materials. Lever Brothers'
successful diversification, however, now put the company in competition with Jurgens
and Van den Bergh, two leading Dutch margarine companies.
Jurgens and Van den Bergh both began commercial production of margarine in
1872. Fierce competitors for the remainder of the century, Van den Bergh and Jurgens
decided in 1908 to pool their interests in an effort to make the best of the poor economic
situation that existed in most of the world. Competition in the margarine industry had
intensified, fueled by an increasing number of smaller firms, which were exporting their
products and lowering their prices to get a piece of the market. Van den Bergh eliminated
the potential for problems such as double taxation--which arose from its interests in both
Holland and the United Kingdom--by creating and incorporating two parent companies
for itself, one in Holland and one in England. In 1920 Jurgens and Van de Bergh decided
there was strength in numbers and joined with another margarine manufacturer, Schicht,
in Bohemia. In 1927 the three companies, borrowing the ideal of a dual structure from
Van de Bergh, formed Margarine Union Limited, a group of Dutch firms with interests in
England, and Margarine Unie N.V., located in Holland.
Through the middle and late 1920s, the oil and fat trades continued to grow.
Although the activities of Margarine Unie and Margarine Union were focused on edible
fats (margarine), the companies had held soap interests throughout Europe for years.
Similarly, although Lever Brothers had produced margarine since World War I, its focus
was soap. After two years of discussion, the companies decided that an 'alliance wasted
less of everybody's substance than hostility' and merged on September 2, 1929.
As it does today, the newly formed Unilever consisted of two holding companies:
Unilever Limited, previously Margarine Union; and Unilever N.V., formerly Margarine
Unie. The new organization included an equalization agreement to assure equal profits
for shareholders of both companies, as well as identically structured boards. Unilever's
parent companies were actually holding companies supervising the operations of
hundreds of manufacturing and trading firms worldwide. The end result of the merger
was a company that bought and processed more than a third of the world's commercial
oils and fats and traded more products in more places than any other company in the
world. Its manufacturing activities--which included detergents and toilet preparations,
margarine and edible fats, food products, and oil milling and auxiliary businesses--were
joined by a need for similar raw and refined materials, such as coconut, palm, cottonseed,
and soybean oil, as well as whale oil and animal fats.
The Great Depression, which struck not long after the new company was formed,
affected every aspect of Unilever's multifaceted operation: its raw material companies
faced price decreases of 30 to 40 percent in the first year alone; cattle cake, sold as a
product of its oil mills, suffered with the decline of the agricultural industry; margarine
and other edible fats were affected by damaging competition as the price of butter
plummeted; and the company's retail grocery and fish shops saw declining sales.
As prices and profits around the world threatened to collapse, Unilever had to act
quickly to build up an efficient system of control. The 'special committee' was established
in September of 1930 to do that. Operating as a board of directors over the two boards the
company already had, the special committee was designed to balance Dutch and British
interests and act as an inner cabinet for the organization. It also began administering two
committees established to deal with Unilever's world affairs: a continental committee to
handle businesses in Europe, and an overseas committee to supervise business elsewhere.
A new generation of management led Unilever through the 1930s: Francis D'Arcy
Cooper, who had been chairman of Lever Brothers since William Lever's death in 1925;
Georg Schicht, the former chairman of Schicht Company; and Paul Rijkens, who
succeeded Anton Jurgens as chairman of Jurgens in 1933. It was Cooper who seemed to
lead the efforts to turn the various companies that comprised Unilever into one Anglo-
Dutch team. It was also Cooper who convinced the board of the necessity for a
reorganization in 1937, when the relationship between the profit-earning capacities of the
Dutch and British companies found itself reversed.
Originally, about two-thirds of Unilever's profits were earned by the Dutch group
and one-third by the British group. By 1937, however, because of increasing trade
conflicts in Europe, particularly in Germany, the situation had reversed. By selling the
Lever Companys assets outside Great Britain, including Lever Brothers Company in the
United States, to the Dutch arm of Unilever, the assets of the two groups were
redistributed so that they would be nearly equal in volume and profits, which had always
been the objective of the two parent companies.
Before 1945 the oils and fats industries had progressed fairly smoothly. The only
major industry breakthroughs were the discovery of the hydrogenation process just before
World War I, which enabled manufacturers to turn oils into hard fats, and the possibility
of adding vitamins to margarine in the 1920s, which created an opportunity for new
health-related product claims. But it was not until the end of World War II that the
industry in general, including Unilever, began to recognize the important relationship
between marketing and research. Meantime, Unilever expanded its U.S. operations
through two important acquisitions: Thomas J. Lipton Company, manufacturer of tea
(1937), and the Pepsodent brand of toothpaste (1944).
Although Unilever's growth until the mid-1940s was a result of expanded product
lines and plant capacities, its greatest achievements between 1945 and 1965 were its
adaptation to new markets and technology. The decade following World War II was a
period of recovery, culminating by the early 1950s in rapid economic growth in much of
the Western world. Until 1955 demand continued to rise and competition was not a major
issue. Afterward, however, profit margins dropped, competition in Europe and North
America sharpened, and success was less assured. Unilever's strategy was to acquire
companies in new areas, particularly food and chemical manufacturers. Among the
postwar acquisitions were U.K. frozen foods maker Birds Eye (1957) and U.S. ice cream
novelty maker Good Humor (1961).
In the 1980s Unilever undertook a massive restructuring. The company sold most of
its service and ancillary businesses, such as transport, packaging, advertising, and other
services that were readily available on the market, and went on a buying spree, snapping
up some 80 companies between 1984 and 1988. The restructuring was designed to
concentrate the company in 'those businesses that we properly understand, in which we
have critical mass, and where we believe we have a strong, competitive future,' Unilever
PLC Chairman M.R. Angus told Management Today in 1988. Specifically, Unilever's
core businesses were detergents, foods, toiletries, and specialty chemicals.
In 1989 Unilever became a major player in the world's perfume and cosmetic
industry through three more acquisitions. It obtained Shering-Plough's perfume business
in Europe; the Calvin Klein business from Minnetonka, Inc.; and, by far the largest
purchase of the three, Faberg Inc., the American producer of Chloe, Lagerfeld, and
Fendi perfumes, for $1.55 billion. The upper-end cosmetics market was a high-margin
business, and Unilever planned to step up marketing of its new products to raise sales.
As it entered the 1990s, Unilever had virtually completed reorganizing its European
business to better compete within the evolving single market in that region. In 1991 the
company further refined its operations by selling the last of its packaging businesses and
by making provisions for the eventual sales of the majority of its agribusinesses.
Unilever's flexible management structure and diverse product range were integral to
its survival in the rapidly changing international market. In a 1992 Harvard Business
Review article, Chairman and CEO Floris A. Maljers explained Unilever's management
structure: 'The very nature of our products required proximity to local markets;
economies of scale in certain functions justify a number of head-office departments; and
the need to benefit from everybody's creativity and experience makes a sophisticated
means of transferring information across our organization highly desirable. All of these
factors led to our present structure: a matrix of individual managers around the world
who nonetheless share a common vision and understanding of corporate strategy.'
Despite poor performances by some of its subsidiaries and recessions in Europe and
North America, Unilever's broad product range led to overall profit increases in both
1990 and 1991. In 1990 Unilever made substantial inroads into the newly opened markets
created by the unification of Germany. The company began producing its Rama
margarine at a former East German state plant in Chermnitz, established a task force to
select sites for 23 Nordsee fish stores, and began distributing ice cream and frozen
novelties to retailers in eastern Germany.
In 1991 Unilever continued to battle with rival Procter & Gamble over the newly
opened markets of the former Soviet Union. Unilever purchased an 80 percent stake in
the Polish detergent firm Pollena Bydgoscz for $20 million, changing the name to Lever
Polska, the first laundry detergent manufacturer to be privatized in Poland. The company
earmarked approximately $24 million for product line expansions, including a fabric
conditioner and household cleaning products. Also in 1991 Michael Perry was named the
U.K. cochairman of Unilever.
Profits in Unilever's personal products division were down 11 percent in 1991, due
to sluggish markets in the United States and only moderate growth in European markets.
Unilever's newly purchased Elizabeth Arden and Calvin Klein, however, posted strong
growth, supported by strong retailer relationships and $24 million in advertising
expenditures. Such growth occurred despite an overall drop in department store cosmetic
sales of nine percent from 1987 to 1992. In 1992, though, Elizabeth Arden profits began
slipping, prompting the resignation of Joseph F. Ronchetti, Arden's CEO since 1978.
Unilever underwent further restructuring of its personal products division, creating a
prestigious subdivision geared toward introducing Calvin Klein and Elizabeth Arden into
overseas markets.
Unilever's fastest growing market in the early 1990s was in Asia. Although
Unilever had been operating in Asia since its earliest days, the company was just
beginning to tap into the region's newly acquired wealth. Asian sales of personal
products, detergent, and packaged foods were growing more than twice as fast as sales in
the United States and Europe. By 1992 Unilever was composed of some 500 companies
conducting business in 75 different countries.
One the largest acquisitions of this period was the 1996 takeover of Chicago-based
Helene Curtis Industries Inc., manufacturer and marketer of personal care products,
primarily shampoo and conditioners, hand and body lotions, and deodorants and
antiperspirants. Purchased for about $770 million, Helene Curtis's portfolio included such
brands as Suave, Finesse, and Salon Selectives. Another significant 1996 acquisition was
that of Northbrook, Illinois-based Diversey Corporation, a maker of institutional
chemical cleansers and sanitizers, and Unilever's first foray into the industrial cleaning
sector.
Unilever and Procter & Gamble (P & G) began battling again in 1994, this time for
supremacy in the European detergent sector. Unilever aggressively went after P & G's
market-leading brand, Ariel, with a new soap marketed under the names Persil Power,
Omo Power, and Skip Power. Unilever spent $175 million developing the product and
another $292 million marketing it during 1994. The product included a manganese
complex molecule that Unilever claimed cleaned clothes better at lower temperatures
than rival products. P & G conducted tests on Persil Power, however, which indicated
that the detergent resulted in abnormal wear after as few as 15 washings. When P & G
publicized its findings, Unilever sued the company for slander. But the suit was quickly
withdrawn after Unilever admitted that the detergent did indeed contain a flaw--a flaw
that had not been uncovered in the pre-launch testing--and could damage clothes when
exposed to a particular combination of dyes. Unilever reformulated the product, but not
before it had turned into a public relations nightmare. In the end, the Power formula was
abandoned entirely and Unilever, therefore, took a 57 million write-off in its 1994
accounts.
Unilever ended the 20th century with a strategic plan that included a focus on top
brands within core market sectors and an emphasis on growth within developing
countries. Although it was facing considerable competitive pressures in various markets
around the world--particularly from Procter & Gamble--Unilever was clearly no longer
the risk-averse, staid organization of the past. The whirlwind events of the late 1990s
seemed destined to position the company as one of the most formidable global
consumer products companies of the 21st century.
Unilevers mission is to add vitality to life. It is estimated that people around the
world in 150 countries uses Unilever products 150 times a day. The 2006 sales revenue
was 39.6 billion pounds. This figure came from the Americas 13.8 billion (36%), from
Europe 15.0 (38%) billion and from Asia/Africa 10.9 billion pounds (27%). Unilever has
approximately 206,000 employees working all over the world.

Competitor Comparison
Unilever Philippines started as an oil milling business which at its peak produced
nearly 100,000 tons of coconut oil annually. Today, the company is a leading
manufacturer of home and personal care products, foods, and ice cream.
With an annual sale of over Php 24 billion, Unilever Philippines employs over 2,000
people nationally. The company has been a leader in introducing new technologies into
the country since the early days of its existence - margarine production in the 1930s,
non-soap detergents, shampoos and toothpaste in the 1960s and 1970s and state of the
art sulphonation technology and cogeneration power plant in the 1980s.
The nineties had seen the company focusing on several improvements in the
Environment, front one of which was the introduction of the first 100% biodegradable
detergent bar in the Philippines. Unilever works closely with the community and other
NGOs to protect and improve the environment. In year 2000, the company received
recognition for its environment management systems with an ISO 14001 accreditation.
Nowadays, women find shampoos that contain an ingredient that makes their hair
longer and stronger for a single of month.
Introducing, the new Sunsilk Frutamin Strong & Long shampoo with fruit extracts
and vitamins that helps in protecting the hair from breakage and split
ends. Sunsilk shampoo truly understands hair. It aims to provide specific

Fresh Fruit (summer edition)
Other shampoo products of sunsilk are 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, styling
products, treatment products and many more.
Sunsilk is one of the many brands of shampoo in the Philippines that became popular
and in-demand for its soothing aroma that also offers a way to get straighter and shinier
hair. First launched in the UK by Unilever group in 1954, people quickly begun to notice
its unique blend compared to other brands of shampoos. By 1959, Sunsilk was already
available in eighteen different countries worldwide. Currently, Sunsilk products are
available in over 50 countries throughout the Middle East, North Africa, Latin America,
and in the Philippines. So what made sunsilk Philippines so popular? Among all others,
Sunsilk gained its popularity because of its marketing campaigns.
In the early years, Sunsilk focused much of its marketing attention on gaining
international presence. To do this, they targeted different market segments or countries
with specialized products designed to address hair "issues" of each culture. For example
in the UK, the core benefit in the 1960s was shiny hair. High interest internationally led
to a dramatic decline in support in the United States and UK. Because of this, many years
went by with little or no advertising which caused the brand to be viewed as targeted at
older women. Although this was not Sunsilk's intention the outcome was inevitable.
A new campaign was launched to recruit younger users. To do this, products also
needed rejuvenating. Sunsilk decided that in addition to segmenting markets country by
country, they should also segment by hair type within each market. 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".
The target audience was also defined as single, fashion-conscious, working women who
economized when looking good: women"on-the-go".
The new product lines, which feature product threesomes include: Anti-Flat, Anti-
Poof, Hydra TLC, Straighten-Up, De-Frizz, No Major Issues, ThermaShine, Beyond
Brunette Color Boost (Auburn tones and non-highlighted brunette colorers) and Blonde
Bombshell (all over blondes and highlighters).
Sunsilks latest campaign, Life Cant Wait, aims to inspire women all over the
globe to live their lives to the fullest. To launch Sunsilks campaign the brand unveiled
their Life Can't Wait advertisement during the Super Bowl XLII on February 3 2008.
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.
Life Can't Wait campaign clearly gave a boost in the demand for Sunsilk
Philippines by Filipinos all over the world. Today, Sunsilk Philippines is considered as
one of the most popularly in-demand throughout the Philippines, recognized not only for
women use, but also for the men.
Our brands are trusted everywhere and, by listening to the people who bought them,
we have grown into one of the worlds most successful consumer goods companies.

what class they belong.
Competitors Review:
The major competitors of Sunsilk in the rural and urban areas are the following:
1. Pantene shampoo by Procter & Gamble
In 1859, sales reached one million dollars. By this point, approximately eighty
employees worked for Procter & Gamble. During the American Civil War, the
company won contracts to supply the Union Army with soap and candles. In
addition to the increased profits experienced during the war, the military contracts
introduced soldiers from all over the country to Procter & Gamble's products.
The company began to build factories in other locations in the United States
because the demand for products had outgrown the capacity of the Cincinnati
facilities. The company's leaders began to diversify its products as well and, in
1911, began producing Crisco, a shortening made of vegetable oils rather than
animal fats. As radio became more popular in the 1920s and 1930s, the company
sponsored a number of radio programs. As a result, these shows often became
commonly known as "soap operas".
The company moved into other countries, both in terms of manufacturing and
product sales, becoming an international corporation with its 1930 acquisition of the
Newcastle upon Tyne-based Thomas Hedley Co.. Procter & Gamble maintained a
strong link to the North East of England after this acquisition. Numerous new
products and brand names were introduced over time, and Procter & Gamble began
branching out into new areas. The company introduced "Tide" laundry detergent in
1946 and "Prell" shampoo in 1947. In 1955, Procter & Gamble began selling the
first toothpaste to contain fluoride, known as "Crest". Branching out once again in
1957, the company purchased Charmin Paper Mills and began manufacturing toilet
paper and other paper products. Once again focusing on laundry, Procter & Gamble
began making "Downy" fabric softener in 1960 and "Bounce" fabric softener sheets
in 1972. One of the most revolutionary products to come out on the market was the
company's "Pampers", first test-marketed in 1961. Prior to this point disposable
diapers were not popular, although Johnson & Johnson had developed a product
called "Chux". Babies always wore cloth diapers, which were leaky and labor
intensive to wash. Pampers provided a convenient alternative.
Procter & Gamble acquired a number of other companies that diversified its
product line and significantly increased profits. These acquisitions included Folgers
Coffee, Norwich Eaton Pharmaceuticals (the makers of Pepto-Bismol), Richardson-
Vicks, Noxell (Noxzema), Shulton's Old Spice, Max Factor, and the Iams
Company, among others. In 1994, the company made headlines for big losses
resulting from leveraged positions in interest rate derivatives, and subsequently
sued Bankers Trust for fraud; this placed their management in the unusual position
of testifying in court that they had entered into transactions that they were not
capable of understanding. In 1996, Procter & Gamble again made headlines when
the Food and Drug Administration approved a new product developed by the
company, Olestra. Also known by its brand name Olean, Olestra is a lower-calorie
substitute for fat in cooking potato chips and other snacks that during its
development stages is known to have caused anal leakage and gastrointestinal
difficulties in humans.
Procter & Gamble has dramatically expanded throughout its history, but its
headquarters still remains in Cincinnati {Source, Ohio History Central}.

Filipino consumers and their varied hair needs, P&G has launched Rejoice in three
unique variants:
Other products are rejoice conditioner. Rejoice shampoo is under the Procter
& gamble Corp.
Head & Shoulders was first introduced to the U.S. market in November 1961,
as a blue-green shampoo formula. Head & Shoulders helps eliminate scalp
dryness, itch and irritation, for hair that's 100% flake-free with regular use.
The brand's "Extra Strength" product had a cameo role in the 2001 film
Evolution, where its startling copper orange color was shown.
The idea for Head & Shoulders dates back to about 1950. At that time, Procter
& Gamble research determined that consumers were not completely satisfied with
the then-existing anti-dandruff shampoos. What we had to do was find a new and
effective ingredient against dandruff. After ten years of searching, P&G scientists
found one that really worked! Pyrithione zinc.
In the 1950s, Procter & Gamble began screening tests to identify dandruff
control agents. Over two thousand such ingredients were evaluated. Basically
each compound was screened for three properties:
In 1960, we had a product and a code name, then came hundreds of tests on
the product. For instance, we did safety tests to find out whether it would really
work in the home. (It did.) Could people see the results? (They did.) How would it
hold up during shipping? How would it withstand heat and cold? We found the
answers to all these questions and more.
By the spring of 1961, we were ready to give our shampoo a "real" name and
start work on the packaging, displays, advertising, and marketing programs that
would introduce it to the public.
In November 1961, the code name became a brand name: Head & Shoulders.
We were then ready for the most crucial phase: Marketing the product in a few
selected areas. Why didn't we make it available everywhere in the country? At
Procter & Gamble, no product is sold nationwide until it has first proven itself
successful in limited areas.
Active Ingredients
In all the years of our testing, no ingredient has ever performed better than
Pyrithione zinc, the dandruff control agent in Head & Shoulders. Pyrithione zinc
comprises approximately 1% of the Head & Shoulders formula.

4. Palmolive shampoo by Colgate- Palmolive
Colgate-Palmolive Company is an
American diversified multinational
corporation focused on the production,
distribution and provision of household, health care and personal products, such as
soaps, detergents, and oral hygiene products (including toothpaste and toothbrushes).
Under its "Hill's" brand, it is also a manufacturer of veterinary products. The
company's corporate offices are on Park Avenue in New York City, across from the
Waldorf Astoria.
George Henry Lesch was president, CEO, and chairman of the board of
Colgate-Palmolive in the 1960s and 1970s, and during that time transformed it into a
modern company with major restructuring.
In June 2007, counterfeit Colgate toothpaste imported from China was found
to be contaminated with diethylene glycol, and several people in eastern U.S. reported
experiencing headaches and pain after using the product. The tainted products can be
identified by the claim to be manufactured in South Africa by Colgate-Palmolive
South Africa LTD, they are 5oz/100ml tubes (a size which Colgate does not sell in
the United States) and the tubes/packaging contain numerous mis-spellings on their
labels. Colgate-Palmolive claims that they do not import their products from South
Africa into the United States or Canada and that DEG is never and was never used in
any of their products anywhere in the world. The counterfeit products were found in
smaller "mom and pop" stores, dollar stores and discount stores in at least four states.

Competitors Review:
The main advantage of Bio Link VCO Shampoo, Vaseline Naturals and Palmolive
Naturals are its Herbal compositions and low prices, which attract the rural market, but
in terms of quality, they are far behind SunSilk.
SunSilk are making its name in anti dandruff shampoo area, since they already
launched their SunSilk Blue Anti- Dandruff shampoo. Their main competitors in this
area are Palmolive Anti Dandruff Shampoo by Colgate- Palmolive Phils. Corpation,
their sister brand Clear Anti Dandruff Shampoo by Unilever Phils. Corp and Head &
Shoulders Anti Dandruff Shampoo by Procter & Gamble which claims in the market as
the no. 1 anti dandruff shampoo in the world. SunSilk Anti dandruff shampoo is too far
from H&S shampoos, because H&S counts its name in this area as an anti dandruff
shampoo expert. Its a must that Unilever Phils. must be focus on this matter.
The main weaknesses of SunSilk are they dont have a baby shampoo and a shampoo
for the young girls like Palmolive Fashion Girl by Colgate Palmolive Phils.
Corporation and Baby Spa VCO shampoo by Splash Corporation. This area must be the
focus of SunSilk and Unilever Phil. to increase their income and not be left out by the
other.
Finally, the strength of Sunsilk was they are the only hair care product that
produced a shampoo during summer, the SunSilk summer fresh fruit .And also; they were
the first who developed a hair dying and styling shampoos that being sold now in the
market.
Packaging:
The packaging design for the New Sunsilk range is extremely exciting and has
been developed by Brown Inc. UK. The packaging makes the brand look expert and
modern. This packaging makes the brand look more contemporary and hi-tech. It ensures
more emphasis on the variants that have already been a part of the product but never been
communicated to the customer that well. This new packaging has clearly identified that
there is a separate product for each hair type.

Since Unilever direct competitors are Pantene, Palmolive and Rejoice, they
decided that they will price their product the way their competitors did. But they still
considered their target market as one of the factors in pricing. Since their target
market belongs to upper and lower class and our target place is on the province, they
have to choose a price that the local market can afford and spend their money.
Pantene, Palmolive and Rejoice shampoos are selling their six pack of sachet of
10mL. Pantene sells it in P24.75 while Rejoice and Palmolive shampoos sell their 6
pack sachet in P 22.95. Clear shampoo is selling this in P27.75 price. In Sunsilk
shampoo sachet, you have two options. First, the Sunsilk shampoo 2 chambered
sachet with 10mL that costs P4.50 and the 12mL Sunsilk Shampoo 6 pack of sachet
that costs P22.95.It is more affordable than P24.75. It means for every sachet, it will
cost a P3.82 price. In 200mL bottled shampoo, Sunsilk(Strong & Long) has P88.75
price and Pantene has P104.00.
Besides having these general objectives, the advertising objectives are set avoiding to the
advertising strategy for each product, e.g. Sunsilk advertising objectives since it was
being re-launched were:
Distribution Objective:
They appear extremely satisfied with their channel systems and have a good
rapport with them. We feel that this is essential since these are not too many levels,
thereby preventing channel complexity and allowing Unilever greater control. Unilevers
statements were verified by our consumer survey, which revealed that the retailers were
very satisfied with Unilevers distribution system, which allowed well-stocked shelves.
This is an added advantage, since the consumers undergo habitual buying behavior.
Sunsilk has a very good distribution network all over the country. They have
struggled hard to adopt such channels that guarantee the perfect results regarding the
placement of their product.
These distributors are given clear instructions regarding the selection of the
retailer and to make sure that the retailer;
They give off and on offers as trade promotion incentives to their distributors. The
distributors contribute to the promotion of Sunsilk by word of mouth.

V. MARKETING STRATEGIES:
MEDIA RECOMMENDATION
T.V. Patrol World is the chosen T.V. program where SunSilk shampoo is to be
advertised. This program is the longest-running Filipino Newscast in the Philippines. In
this program, the companys target market will certainly watch a newscast program that
is why they selected this program where the market can easily see it and remember.
However, the team manages to air the advertisements primarily on early talk shows like
SIS and Ruffa and Ai, noon-time variety shows like ASAP, Eat Bulaga and
WOWOWEE, game show like Pilipinas GKNB, soap opera in the evening like MAY
BUKAS PA, DARNA, and TAYONG DALAWA, and KAMBAL SA UMA in the
afternoon soap opera. The company believes that women mostly young adults to adults
render their time watching television during these hours. They may get the consumers
attention and interest in purchasing the product.
90.7 Love Radio is the chosen Radio Station of Unilever Philippines. The
countrys biggest radio network, Manila Broadcasting Company, proves that it is number
one in Mega Manila, with its radio station 90.7 Love Radio leading the pack in the latest
Nielsen Media Research Surveys. Then, the companys target market is in Mega Manila.
90.7 Love Radio is also in a format of hot adult contemporary where this format is
devoted to old hits and mostly classic hits where the companys target market mostly
preferred to hear. Other radio stations may include IFM 93.9, WRR 101.9,YES FM 101.1
and BRGY. LS FM 97.1.
Unilever Philippines chose Pilipino Star Ngayon as their newspaper where they
can publish the print ad of the SunSilk shampoo. Their target market mostly
preferred to read a tabloid which focuses on local interest and entertainment of the
people. Newspaper may include TEMPO, PEOPLES TONIGHT and BULGAR
as their secondary option.

VII. EVALUATION OF MARKETING ACTION PLAN
From the marketing strategies we created, we are hoping that these will be
successful. If our valued consumers will learn and eventually use our product especially
in the provinces, there is no reason for us not to have break-even. We think that within a
couple of months our expenses incurred during our promotional activities will be
recovered.
With the marathon we are planning for next year, we want people to know that we
are not only concern about our income but we are also looking for their fitness and well-
being.
As a whole, we are doing our very best to benefit our consumers. We are not
wasting our time. We continue experimenting and making products that are affordable to
Filipinos because like our latest campaign said Life cant wait!
