Editor's Notes
Nielsen is a global marketing research firm in nyc
Vitality means feeling alive
Diff people diff meaning
Some thinks as healthy n other as energy
Bp: buyers are scattered all around the world and they are in billions.
they are not so powerful to pull prices down
the customers to switch to substitute
Cr: competitors have the power to attract and influence the customers by
more attractive substitute, prices and marketing techniques.
Ts:trend has reduced the customer
loyalty and product lifecycle
Unilever has to be very adoptive and closer
to its customers so as to get what exactly its customers want.
Te:But its brand image is a strong barrier in the way of new
entrants
Sp: This strategy help to prevent supplier’s from switching
to other competitors and charge higher rates. Also Unilever treat its supplier’
s fairly so as to create more loyalty among them like customers.
