Perspiration, a natural function, cools the body. Although it is blamed for foul body
odor, perspiration itself does not have much scent at all. Odor is actually produced
by bacteria living on the surface of the skin, which feeds on sweat. People have been
formulating products for centuries to control odor and wetness, but deodorant is a
fairly new concept. Hundreds of years ago, before regular bathing became
commonplace, people used heavy colognes to mask bodily odors. It wasn't until the
early 1800s that chemists began making products that could prevent body odor. The
earliest antiperspirants were pastes and creams that were extremely messy and
difficult to apply. Modern products using aluminum were first mass-produced about
100 years later. These products were sold as creams, solids, pads, dabbers, roll-ons
and powders. Over time, the popularity of some of the application types waned.
Today, the majority of antiperspirants and deodorants are sold as solids, gels, roll-
ons and deodorant sprays, with solid sticks being the most popular of all.
Although some people think that aluminum, the active ingredient used in
antiperspirants, is linked to Alzheimer's disease and breast cancer, both the National
Cancer Institute and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) say there is nothing to
substantiate these claims. Editors at the environmental website TheGreenGuide.com
note that there are no inherent dangers in using antiperspirant products, though
they advocate using natural deodorant because they are not as potentially irritating
and don't contain harsh chemical ingredients. Natural deodorant products, however,
do not prevent sweat and only provide deodorizing benefits.
HISTORY
In the 9th century, Ziryab invented under-arm deodorants in Al-Andalus.[15] In
1888, the first commercial deodorant, Mum, was developed and patented by a
U.S. inventor in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, whose name has been lost to history.
[2]
The small company was bought byBristol-Myers in 1931 and in the late 1940s,
marketing executive Edward Gelsthorpe decided to develop an applicator based on
the newly invented ball-point pen.[2] In 1952, the company began marketing the
product under the name Ban Roll-On.[2] The product was briefly withdrawn from the
market in the U.S.[2] It is once again available at retailers in the U.S. under the brand
Ban.[3] In the UK it is sold under the names Mum Solid and Mum Pump Spray.
[2]
Chattem acquired Ban deodorant brand in 1998[16] and subsequently sold it to Kao
Corporationin 2000.[17]
The modern formulation of the antiperspirant was patented by Jules Montenier on
January 28, 1941.[4] This patent addressed the problem of the excessive acidity of
aluminium chloride and its excessive irritation of the skin, by combining it with a
soluble nitrile or a similar compound.[18] This formulation was first found in
"Stopette" deodorant spray, which Time Magazine called "the best-selling deodorant
of the early 1950s".[5] "Stopette" gained its prominence as the first and long-time
sponsor of the game show What's My Line?, and was later eclipsed by many other
brands as the 1941 patent expired.
In the early 1960s, the first aerosol antiperspirant in the marketplace
was Gillette's Right Guard,[11] whose brand was later sold to Henkel in 2006.
[19]
Aerosols were popular because they let the user dispense a spray without coming
in contact with the underarm area. [11] By the late 1960s, half of all the antiperspirants
sold in the U.S. were aerosols, and continued to grow in all sales to 82% by the early
1970s.[11]However, in the late 1970s two problems arose which greatly changed the
popularity of these products.[11] First, in 1977 the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) banned the active ingredient used in aerosols, aluminium
zirconium chemicals, due to safety concerns over long term inhalation. [11] Second,
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) limited the use
of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) propellants used in aerosols due to awareness that these
gases can contribute to depleting the ozone layer. [11] As the popularity of aerosols
slowly decreased, stick antiperspirants became more and more popular. [11] Today,
sticks are the most popular type of antiperspirant. [11]
From a commercial standpoint, Economic Value
Added (EVA™) is the most successful performance
metric used by companies and their consultants.
Although much of its popularity is a re sult of able
marketing and deployment by Stern Stewart, owner of the trademark, the metric is
justified by financial theory and consistent with
valuation principles, which are important to any
investor's analysis of a company.
To help you understand EVA ™ and its components, we devote each chapter of this
tutorial to exploring a different conceptual aspect of economic value added (EVA™)
and demonstrating the associated calculations. Over the course of these
chapters, we build an EVA™ calculation for the Walt Disney Co (DIS), a publicly traded
company, using recent financial statements. And, at the end of this study of EVA™,
we compare it to other performance metrics.
By the end of this tutorial, you will not only be able to calculate EVA™ for yourself,
but also, importantly, understand its strengths and weaknesses, observing how it is
ideal for some situations, but also - contrary to some dogma - not necessarily
the best performance metric for many other situations.
Because the term EVA™ is trademarked, for convenience’s sake, we will instead refer
to it as economic profit throughout the tutorial. This is a common practice and, for
our purposes, there is no difference.
Most deodorant reviews are based on personal prefere nce, but we found
ConsumerReports.org to be the most reliable professional source. Although editors
there do not consider the efficacy of deodorants, their
report on antiperspirants objectively compares the
stain factor -- how likely the deodorant is to stain
clothing or leave behind white residue -- of several
brands. Beauty magazines such as Esquire, Allure,
Shape and Better Nutrition test products to identify the best deodorant brands for
their annual beauty awards, although their methods are not as clearly explained. In
an older review, Slate.com performs an interesting efficacy test of deodorants (most
of the products are still available). User reviews at MakeupAlley.com, Buzzillions.com
and TotalBeauty.com are plentiful and provide good insight into various factors such
as fragrance, irritation and efficacy of the best deodorant brands and types.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
ADVERTISEMENT CONCEPT
Advertising is multidimensional. It is a form of mass
communication, a powerful marketing tool, a component of
economic system, a means of financing the mass media, a social
institution, an art form, an instrument of business management, a
field of employment and a profession. Advertisement has both
forward & backward linkages in the process of satisfaction across
the entire spectrum of needs. The explicit function of
advertisement is to make the potential audience aware of the
existence of the product, service or idea which would help them
fulfill their felt needs and spell out the differential benefits in a
competitive situation. Advertising is not a panacea that can
restore a poor product or rejuvenate a declining market. It only
helps in selling through the art and business of persuasive
communication.

ADVERTISEMENT STRATEGY
Strategy is a link between advertisement objectives &
advertisement plan. Strategy also makes it easier to implement
the plans & goals. There are seven possible strategies from which
ideas have been taken. These are pioneering a product,
Emphasize a benefit, Put across the USP of a brand, Build a brand
image, Offer a range of products, Future users of the products,
Discover new uses for an existing product.
Vital decision about the size of space (for print media) or length
of time (for broadcast media) for the ads have yet to be made,
which will be based on the rational price, proper space, and which
gives advantage of time utility.

FINDINGS
CONSUMER RESEARCH:
Consumer research deals with consumer and their problems and solution to the
problems. In this we came to know about the consumers need and
expectation levels regarding products and ascertainable levels of consumer
satisfaction.
PRODUCT RESEARCH:
Under product research I came to know about the modification which consumers
wants as to the quality, packing, shape, color, and quantity etc. of their favorite
chocolate.
PRICING RESEARCH:
This includes ability to consume, to pay for the product, how much a person can
spend on his/her favorite chocolate. In this I have tried to find out consumer’s price
expectations and reactions.
ADVERTISING RESEARCH:
Under this I have concluded that whether the advertisement appeals the consumers
or not. This also includes evaluating and selecting the proper media-mix and
measuring advertising effectiveness. From the one and half month experience of our
research project with Consumer preference towards Deodorant, We have come to
know lot things and it has enhanced our knowledge to great extent. We found many
things which are well executed by distributors. Here are some of the key findings
given by us are purely based on our research. It doesn’t have any kind of bias from
our side.
They are given as under:
By doing the comparison of Deodorant, we have found that the preference of the
Deodorant more preferred by the consumer is Deodorant.
From the analysis we have found that Nestlé’s some brand has covered 50% of the
market in one product (Munch) of the Deodorant which is a very good sign for the
company.
Through the research we found that consumer is very conscious about the quality of
the product in that matter they are not ready to compromise. And we found both
company product are very qualitative.
In some cases we found that if a product is not available in the market than some
consumer would to switchover to another product or brand.
So from these survey we have found that the consumption of the Deodorant are
more in children and teenage group though having any occasion or not having any
occasion. The most selling product of both the companies is in small size of
Deodorant and there market share is 73% because it’s not much costlier and is also
easily available & affordable.
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The first commercial deodorant, Mum, was introduced and patented in the late
nineteenth century by an inventor inPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania, whose name has
been lost to history.[2] The product was briefly withdrawn from the market in the
U.S.,[2] but is currently available at U.S. retailers under the brand Ban. [3] The modern
formulation of the antiperspirant was patented by Jules Montenier on January 28,
1941.[4] This formulation was first found in "Stopette" deodorant spray, which Time
Magazine called "the best-selling deodorant of the early 1950s". [5] Stopette was later
eclipsed by many other brands as the 1941 patent expired.
Branding is one of the most important aspects of any business, large or small, retail
or B2B. An effective brand strategy gives you a major edge in increasingly
competitive markets. But what exactly does "branding" mean? How does it affect a
small business like yours?
Simply put, your brand is your promise to your customer. It tells them what they can
expect from your products and services, and it differentiates your offering from your
competitors'. Your brand is derived from who you are, who you want to be and who
people perceive you to be.
Are you the innovative maverick in your industry? Or the experienced, reliable one?
Is your product the high-cost, high-quality option, or the low-cost, high-value option?
You can't be both, and you can't be all things to all people. Who you are should be
based to some extent on who your target customers want and need you to be.
The foundation of your brand is your logo. Your website, packaging and promotional
materials--all of which should integrate your logo--communicate your brand.
Branding is all important for those of use who want to be recognized for their name,
business idea, business or product. Like the big name brands such as Sony, Amazon,
Google, Yahoo, etc. business professionals such as freelancers, product developers,
writers, pro-bloggers all need a brand to be instantly recognized by.
For most, the brand name is either their own name, or else the name of the product
they developed. Not only will others know who they are dealing with, but if we brand
ourselves properly, then our name will be a synonym of quality further down the
track.
We all know that big name bloggers such as ShoeMoney, John Chow, Yaro Starak,
Maki and Daren Rowse have managed to do just that. They branded themselves
through continuously using their own name or that of their website.
