22. Positioning Statement
For consumers aged 25-45 years old belonging to
socioeconomic classes A and Upper B who need a convenient
and multi-purpose oral care product most especially for
travelling and conservation of bathroom space, GaleTec
DeepClean is a product that provides a quicker and assured
means to achieve total oral care through (1) the use of solar
power to emit electrons that remove plaque and kill bacteria in
the mouth, and (2) the use of airblast technology to apply
pressurized air and an ionized, minty liquid solution to remove
food debris and plaque in between teeth.
23. How GaleTec Works
¡ Looks like a power toothbrush, except that its
handle has a small solar panel built in, as well as a
compartment that can store the “toothpaste.”
¡ “Toothpaste” is an ionized, mint-flavored solution
that conducts electrons from the solar panel to
the head of the device.
¡ Electrons kill disease-causing bacteria and
prevent the buildup of plaque.
24. How GaleTec Works
¡ Specialized GaleTec nozzle disperses electrons
in the droplets of the ionized solution to the teeth
along blasts of pressurized air to reach in between
the teeth
¡ User then rinses with water and leaves feeling
fresh, clean and full of confidence
26. Strengths of Product
¡ Complete oral hygiene solution in one product
¡ Superior cleanliness with bacteria-killing electron
action
¡ Not easily duplicated
¡ First mover advantage
¡ Minimizes risk of gum problems due to
elimination of the need to floss
27. Weaknesses of Product
¡ Higher price than substitute products
¡ Limited distribution due to price
¡ Lack of brushing motion may cause consumers to
doubt its cleaning power
¡ Needs to establish credibility in the industry
28. Opportunities of Industry
¡ More people are concerned with oral care
because of the studies relating sickness and
disease to bacterial growth and poor oral hygiene
¡ Need for fresh breath, white teeth and
confidence
¡ Increasing growth value of power toothbrush
industry
¡ Trend for all-in-one products
29. Threats of Industry
¡ Reluctance to switch to a new product because it
challenges long-held oral hygiene practices
¡ Low sales of power toothbrushes compared to
manual toothbrushes
