A case of brand positioning and re-positioning by Lever Pakistan, when their fabric washing product RIN was instead used as a dish washer by people of Pakistan.
The document summarizes the marketing challenges facing Lever's RIN laundry bar brand in India in 1988. It discusses that while RIN sales grew in the early years after its 1984 launch, it never exceeded 700 tons annually in sales. A survey found that 65% of consumers were using RIN for dishwashing rather than laundry. The brand's blue color and packaging also did not clearly differentiate it from competitors' products on shelves. To address these problems, the document outlines a six-point action plan to revamp RIN's positioning, increase retailer engagement, expand distribution, boost in-store visibility, target non-users, and strengthen brand awareness advertising. The goal is to distinguish RIN as a fabric washing product and regain
RIN detergent was introduced in 1984 but sales were low for the first 3 years as it was primarily positioned as a fabric washing detergent. However, a 1988 survey found that 65% of users were actually using it as a dishwashing detergent, likely due to its blue color. The document considers alternatives for repositioning RIN, including keeping its dual usage, separating it into distinct fabric softener and dishwashing products, focusing solely on one usage, or changing its primary usage. It ultimately recommends repositioning RIN as both a dishwashing and fabric softening product by introducing a new color for the fabric softening bar to attract non-users while allowing current dishwashing users to continue that
Rin detergent – to position or repositionSagar Gupta
RIN was a solid laundry detergent bar introduced by LBPL in 1984. By 1988, RIN's market share increased significantly compared to 1987, with a 12% increase in the NSD detergent category and 29% increase in the NSD bar category. However, LBPL suspected that RIN was primarily being used for dish washing rather than fabric washing. Various consumer and trade promotion schemes helped increase sales of RIN temporarily but were not successful long-term. LBPL must now decide whether to position RIN as a fabric cleaner, reposition it as a dishwasher, or try a combination approach to target both usages.
The document discusses potential strategies for positioning the RIN detergent brand in Pakistan. It outlines 3 alternatives: positioning RIN as 1) a fabric washer, 2) both a fabric and dish washer ("F+D"), or 3) solely a dish washer. The document evaluates each alternative, considering factors like marketing approach, costs, and ability to target customer segments. It ultimately concludes that positioning RIN as both a fabric and dish washer ("F+D") has the highest chances of increasing sales, allows targeting the entire customer base, and makes best use of underutilized production plants.
The document discusses the marketing challenges facing Lever Brothers' laundry detergent bar RIN in Pakistan. Sales of RIN were reasonably satisfactory but a recent survey found it was primarily being used for dishwashing rather than fabric washing as intended.

Potential strategies discussed include repositioning RIN to explicitly target the dishwashing market or reformulating it to reduce costs without affecting dishwashing performance.
The document discusses options for repositioning the RIN detergent brand in the market. It analyzes positioning RIN as either a fabric washer or dish washer, or both.

Mediquip lost a sale of a CT scanner to competitor Sigma after initially approaching Lohmann University Hospital (LUH).

RIN was a solid blue NSD bar detergent introduced by LBPL in 1984. By 1988, its market share increased significantly compared to 1987, with a 12% increase in the NSD detergent category and 29% increase for NSD bars. However, LBPL suspected RIN was primarily being used for dish washing rather than fabric washing as intended. Various consumer and trade promotion schemes helped increase short-term sales of RIN but were not successful long-term. LBPL faced a dilemma of whether to reposition RIN to target both fabric and dish washing uses or refocus its positioning solely on fabric washing as originally intended.

2. COMPANY
Lever Brothers Pakistan Limited (Levers), a subsidiary of Lever Brothers
International
Produced and marketed consumer products in Pakistan
Product line consisted of shampoos, creams, edible oils, margarine, laundry
detergents in powder and solid bars, etc
In 1988, Levers had PBT of Rs 277 million on sales of Rs 3.65 billion
3. MARKET
Total fabric wash sales of 263,050 tonnes
247,000 tonnes of laundry soap
14,500 tonnes of NSD powder
1550 tonnes of NSD bar
Lever had no entry in laundry soap segment; two Lever NSD brands had 50% of
NSD powder market
Total dishwash sales of 60,000 tonnes; 88% hard soaps and 12% bars
No product of Lever in dish washing market
4. RIN
Solid blue NSD bar introduced in 1984
Priced at Rs 2.95 per pack size of 130 grams
Rs 5.7 million spent on introductory advertising and promotion
“A little amount of RIN washes a large lot of clothes” was the key phrase in the
commercial
Disappointing sales in first three years
None of the consumer promotion schemes were successful
Several price-off campaigns were launched in 1984 and 1985
The results were still very much below the expected level
5. RE-LAUNCH
125 grams and 250 grams package size was introduced
Production efficiencies reduced variable cost of RIN by Rs 1/kg
Promotional efforts concentrated on advertising and sales discounts
A new media campaign was launched with a well known movie star; RIN endorsed
as superior fabric washing product than laundry soaps
Re-launch was successful, sales > 1000 tonnes in 1987
Prices were raised in April 1987, and again in August 1988
6. COMPANY’S DILEMMA
There was a suspicion in management that RIN is being used as a dish washer
Survey was conducted in 12 cities; to know consumer perception and usage of RIN
65% people were using RIN for dish washing; 75%-80% sales of RIN was for dish
washing purpose
Blue color of soap bars resulted in confusion, as all the dish washing bars introduced in
Pakistan were blue in color; also retailers shelved RIN separate rather than in laundry
soap section
PBT IN 1988 was Rs 2.5 million
Management thinking of actions to take regarding marketing plan for RIN
7. POSITIONING & RE-POSITIONING
Positioning is a marketing concept relating to a process of creating an image of the
product in the minds of the consumer or in other words create a niche market for itself
Repositioning is changing the position of the product in the market/consumer’s mind
9. ACTUAL DECISION BY UNILEVER (PAK)
Since RIN worldwide was used as a fabric washer, usage of RIN as dish washer was affecting
the brand image
Lever decided to abandon the sale and production of RIN in Pakistan
VIM, a dishwashing bar, was launched which was blue in color
After VIM’s success, Lever re-launched RIN in Pakistan as a fabric washing product
