PRODUCT/BRAND OVERVIEW

I. Rationale

A company's use of a variety of communication methods and channels to


market its goods and services is coordinated and integrated as part of integrated
marketing communication (IMC). This brand specializes in creating and selling
household care products called Bioderm. The researchers will develop an Integrated
Marketing Communication plan in order to help the brand effectively reach its target
market and fulfill its marketing objectives.

This plan helps in re-establishing the company's aims and objectives, which is
one of the key reasons why an IMC strategy is essential for Bioderm. An IMC
strategy defines what Bioderm hopes to accomplish with its marketing activities, as
well as the particular steps it will take to reach these objectives. This enables the
business to strategically concentrate its resources and efforts, ensuring that its
marketing initiatives are in line with its overarching business goals. Another major
reason why Bioderm needs an IMC plan is that it allows the organization to
effectively target the proper audience. Bioderm can discover the most successful
marketing channels and messages to reach its target market by establishing a complete
profile of this demographic. This increases the success of the company's campaigns
by ensuring that its marketing initiatives are reaching the consumers who are most
likely to be interested in its items.

In conclusion, the success of Bioderm depends on having an IMC plan. The


goals and objectives of the business are made clearer, the appropriate audience is
targeted, a consistent message is maintained, ROI is maximized, and the business can
adjust to market changes. Bioderm can build powerful marketing tactics to market its
goods and services, raise brand recognition, and eventually boost sales and revenue by
developing an IMC plan.

XII. Conclusion

Bioderm is one of the well-known bath soaps in the country. It is most


recognizable for its affordability and effectiveness as a product. Aside from the
variety of scents the bath soap has, it also comes in different sizes that depend on the
consumer's usage. Bioderm bath soap features skin-germ protection that can last for
24 hours and apply to a wide range of ages (toddlers to adults). Aside from bath soaps
the company named IPI (International Pharmaceutical Inc.), under which Bioderm is,
offered a variety of household items. The company has multiple warehouses
nationwide and top of a line distribution system to ensure the availability of its
products throughout the country. The company also has affiliations and partnerships
with other countries to distribute its products.

Bioderm has competitors in the industry like Safeguard, Green Cross,


Hygienix, Lifebuoy, and Shield as its closest competition. These bath soaps have
similarities as well as their own unique selling points. In the current market,
Safeguard leads the market share index by 25.61% of the overall market share pie of
the germicidal bath soap industry in the Philippines. Bioderm then followed with
21.57% of the market share which is a close competition considering how big
Safeguard is in the Philippines and also it is from a big international company like
Procter & Gamble. There are a lot of factors that can explain how well-competitive
Bioderm is as a brand, one of the major reasons is mainly the affordability of the
product offerings and being true to their formulation claims to have germicidal and
long-lasting uses in terms of fragrance and it’s bar soap.

Based on the survey that was conducted with the residents of Valenzuela City
from the age bracket of 13 and above years old. To determine the consumer’s point of
view when it comes to the bath soaps they are using every day. The result of the

BSBA Major In Marketing Management 3-1 3


PAMANTASAN NG LUNGSOD NG VALENZUELA
Tongco St. Maysan, Valenzuela City

survey came as follows: According to the survey which majority is from the female
demographic with 62% of the respondents' population. The product that is affordable
when comes to price range and also the availability to their location is Safeguard and
followed by Bioderm. When it comes to the effectiveness of the formula of the
product like treating pimples Safeguard also came in first and to be followed by
Bioderm. However, it is almost at par with Safeguard when it comes to the
cooling/freshness effect of the bath soap. The results of the advertising aspect of the
survey came to conclude that the competitor safeguard has a wide online presence
than Bioderm which lacks it. It also comes to conclude that the factors like advertising,
effectiveness, and affordability play a role in the decision-making of the consumers
and their recommendation of it to other consumers.

Overall, Bioderm has its fair share of strengths and weaknesses that may be
affecting its popularity and sales of its products. One of these strengths that can also
be an opportunity for the brand to take advantage of is that their brand is the soap
formulation promoting germicidal properties in an affordable price range and a
variety of different versions of their soap’s formulation. With the growing concerns
over the health-related well-being of consumers, their products can take advantage of
it. It is also an advantage for Bioderm to be partnered with many Healthcare
institutions to only expose their product to a market that needs it but also leave a
positive impression on their consumers. However, since the product is getting known
there are chances that it might get counterfeited which can cause negative feedback
from the public. Bioderm has also a weakness to its brand like any other business has,
no matter how big or small a company is. One of those weaknesses is low online
brand engagement, the brand isn’t that big when it comes to social media
advertisements, which is also proven further from the survey that consumers aren’t
that well aware of the social media promotions of the brand. Therefore it will be a
great advantage for Bioderm to have n IMC plan for their advertising as it will them
greatly with what they have had weaknesses with.

XIV. Recommendation

Based on the actual findings and conclusion, we recommend the following actions
listed below:

• The survey results shows that Safeguard comes first in consumers' mind when it
comes to affordability and availability even though Bioderm is more affordable than
Safeguard and is also available in sari-sari stores, supermarkets, and drugstores.
Therefore, Bioderm must very well communicate its affordability and availability in
their advertisements in television, radio, online, billboard and social media.
• When it comes to the magazine and newspaper advertisement, Bioderm is on the
last rank among its competitors. For this reason, Bioderm should exert more effort to
print advertisements such as magazines and newspaper to reach its niche market
segments.
• The main factors that influence consumers in their buying decisions are
affordability, family, and advertisements. With, Bioderm can combine these factors
into one strategy and that is to improve their advertisements that highlights the
product's affordability and its protection for the whole family.
• Bioderm has a low social media brand engagement and consumers are only aware
of its facebook advertisements. Therefore, Bioderm should increase brand
awareness through other social media platforms such as Instagram, Tiktok and
Youtube and increase social media engagements.
• Among the Bioderm's media channels, the television advertisement of Bioderm is
the most viewed by the consumers, on the other hand, consumers are not aware and
do not notice the soap's billboard advertisement. Thus, Bioderm can make their
television advertisement more interesting, persuasive, and remarkable. In addition,
the brand can also put up an eye-catching billboard in busy areas to catch
consumer's attention and introduce the different variations of its soap to as many
individuals as possible.
• Bioderm is almost well-matched to Safeguard regarding its effectiveness on treating
skin ailments, its cooling and refreshing effect. For that cause, Bioderm should
convey its product uses and features more effectively and consistently on their
marketing communication channels to reach or outreach the level of Safeguard in
terms of the soap effectiveness and uses.
