5. CURRENT MARKET SITUATION INDUSTRY: Pakistan is the world’s 9 th largest market with an estimated 180 million consumers. Oral Hygiene market increased between 2001-2006, growing at an average annual rate of 3.4%. Toothbrush market size is estimated to be 70-75 million, it has increased about 20% since 1990’s and it’s expected to grow by 40% in the next 5 years. Brand loyalty is extremely low for toothbrushes but quite high for toothpastes. Experts believe that the health care market in Pakistan is at the peak of landmark changes, with an increase in the number of dentist and doctors for health management. Due to increased level of awareness, people now deeply care about their health and their family’s health as well. Toothbrush market has a lot of potential; the least amount spent on oral care is about 5%. People still don’t use tooth brushes on regular basis. PLAYERS: Shield’s Market Share is estimated to be around 20-25%. Shield is the only local company advertising at the moment. Colgate is one of the strongest competitors bearing the market share of 48% currently. In terms of sales volume, EZI grip holds the 1 st position and 2 nd is held by shield.

6. RESEARCH Research has revealed that 90% of the population clean their teeth irrespective of the method used. The people of Pakistan employ a variety of ways to ensure oral hygiene; such as toothbrush and toothpaste, toothpowder, local mixtures of salt, bark of various trees (dandassa) and chewing stick or “miswak”.

7. DRIVING FORCES OF THE INDUSTRY Growing Middle Class Technology Economy Industry Growth Product Innovation Use of E-commerce and Internet Social Factors

8. SWOT ANALYSIS STRENGTHS SHIELD is a known company, mostly people are aware of SHIELD toothbrushes and it is the first company marketing toothbrushes in Pakistan. Leader in oral and baby care segment Diversification Strong distribution network Wide range of toothbrushes, each targeting different age groups. Price Range (ranging from 10rs to 55rs. – affordable as well as expensive ) WEAKNESSES Weak Positioning and Image. Low budgets. Lower quality as compared to MNC competitors. People mostly prefer Oral B and Colgate over Shield.

9. SWOT ANALYSIS OPPORTUNITIES Consumers are preferring functionally effective premium products with professional quality to meet their personal care needs. People are now more conscious about their image and appearance and prefer to use branded products. Increase in awareness of dental hygiene and its importance. Increase in population Exploring new categories like kids market Migration of people from rural to urban areas and Rural population switching from miswak, toothpowder to toothpaste. Automated supply chain Lifestyle of people is changing and they are becoming more Aware and Educated Hygiene conscious Variety seekers THREATS Local companies producing low priced products. Threat from Chinese products that are cheaper and more attractive Threat from substitutes Low brand loyalty and weak image Increase in raw material price. Inflation in the country Competitors re-launching their products Competitors increasing their marketing budgets Unstable economic conditions Islamic groups encouraging people to use miswak. The WTO free trade implementation is a threat for the industry; Imported products will flood the market. High rivalry among existing firms

10. SHIELD’S CURRENT APPROACH Shield’s Objective : To become No.1 category toothbrush and they plan to pursue it by increasing awareness level. Their core communication message is based solely on smile, its their positioning & USP as well. Big idea is based on the fact that people should replace their toothbrush after every 3 months, otherwise it looses its effectively. They follow continuous advertising pattern, the advertising mediums used are Tv, radio, out-doors and BTL activities. Strength : product range, portfolio Tagline : “haso zara aur khil khila k” Marketing strategy : soft-sell Same ads for radio and television. They also use several sales promotion tactics. Competitors: EZI GRIP ( LOCAL BRAND) Chinese products Colgate Oral-b: Indicator Johnson & Johnson: Reach P&G: Crest Complete Smithkline Beecham: Aqua fresh Flex

11. GIGGLES SITUATION ANALYSIS CURRENT PRODUCT ANALYSIS: Product Attribute: A toothbrush with a small head and soft bristles having rubber feet at the bottom enabling it to stand. Pricing: Rs.40 Distribution : Distributed in 262 towns in Pakistan through wholesalers and retailers. Promotion: They offer trade incentives/ promotions in the form of gifts and discounts but on occasional basis.

12. GIGGLES SITUATION ANALYSIS 2. CURRENT TARGET MARKET: Target market approach: Kids 5-10 years Product positioning: The product gives a better SMILE Attitudes: Mostly people are not aware of the fact that SHIELD’S toothbrush range also has toothbrushes for children and those who do know don’t find it appealing enough as compared to imported brands. 3. CUSTOMERS: Due to increased level of awareness, parents care more about their children’s teeth. Previously consumer didn't have much knowledge about toothbrush functions and benefits. Consumers used to purchase toothbrushes without much information about the product. They don’t have good quality perception of local products.

13. MARKET SEGMENTATION GEOGRAPHIC: 3 Metropolitan cities Karachi, Lahore & Islamabad. DEMOGRAPHICS: Gender: Both male and female. SEC: A & B Family Size: Families even with one child are enough for our target but if the family size is big, it’s even better because more family members means more children if not currently then may be in future. Family life cycle: The main focus is on full nest which means families having children at home . Education: Children studying in kindergarten to Primary school. PSYCHOGRAPHICS: Personality: Marketers endow their products with a “brand personality” that corresponds to a target consumer personality. If we look at the range of toothbrushes by SHIELD, we’ll see that none of them has a distinct personality that could make it prominent amongst the other brands available in the market.

14. MARKET SEGMENTATION GIGGLES too has no personality and kids don’t see anything extraordinary in it to which they can associate with. Hence, this area needs to be focused. We have come up with a personality for GIGGLES which is included in the positioning part. b) Lifestyle: Activities , Interests , and Opinions (AIO) Included in the AGENCY BRIEF BEHAVIORAL: Benefit sought: Look of the product Usage rate: Heavy user Brand Loyalty: It varies from kid to kid. Half of the kids are stubborn in nature, and they stick to one product and want it at any cost, whereas half of them go for EXTRINSIC CUES, so they keep on switching to whatever attracts them the most. Readiness to buy: Replace it as soon as it gets worn out (we want them to replace their toothbrush after every 3 months)

15. ANALYSIS OF KIDS TOOTHRBRUSH MARKET TOOTHBRUSHES DEMOGRAPHICS PURCHASING POWER GIGGLES Aimed at children from age 5 to 10 containing a very small head with soft bristles, particularly for children whose set of milk or baby teeth are still breaking. Is a high priced product. Our customers have a high purchasing power and are ready to spend money on purchasing an expensive toothbrush. FUNTOO Made for children from age 4 to 10 containing a very small head with soft bristles. The toothbrush has candy shaped figures at its end with two different colors. Low priced as compared to Giggles to maintain a certain difference between both the brushes and their target markets. LITTLE STAR Made for children from age 5 to 10 containing a very small head with comparatively hard bristles. Little Star does not contain costly raw materials and does not have an extraordinary design therefore, it is also low priced. BIO JUNIOR Cater to the children from age 6 to 11 and the design of the toothbrush is very plain aimed at parents who don’t want to spend much on toothbrushes. Regular toothbrush for children with an ordinary design and specially targeted to people with a low purchasing power. PERFECT JUNIOR Same as bio junior Same as bio junior FLEX JUNIOR Aimed at children from age 10 to 12 as its head is a little big as compared to other toothbrushes and is made for those children whose baby teeth have been replaced by adult (permanent) teeth. Low priced according to the pricing of competitors because flexible toothbrushes are provided by all competitors.

16. COMMUNICATION SWOT COMPETITORS REVIEW Colgate, Oral B and SHIELD are the three major players advertising their messages. Colgate’s major focus is on advertising their toothpaste rather than marketing toothbrushes. Oral B focus on the functionality of the toothbrush in their advertisements, about its grip, soft bristles and the way it cleans your teeth. SHIELD came up with three different campaigns focusing on three toothbrushes about two, three years back. One campaign highlighted the functionality of the toothbrush, the other campaign depicted humor appeal and the third one showed a jingle based advertisement. Afterwards, SHIELD started illustrating their messages using public service advertisements that stressed to “Change the toothbrush every 3 months as recommended by Dentists worldwide” and also highlighted to “Brush twice for 3 minutes”.

18. COMMUNICATION SWOT COMMUNICATION OPPORTUNITUES SHIELD is one of the local companies of Pakistan, which is manufacturing & distributing toothbrushes for kids. They are not at all considering the kids market segment as distinct and have not come up with a separate communication campaign for kids yet. We have analyzed the gap and have tried to come up with a campaign for GIGGLES toothbrush, which is a premium brand in the segment of kids’ toothbrushes. Children constitute an important target segment and merit attention from a marketing perspective.

19. ISSUES FACED BY THE BRAND (GIGGLES) Main purpose of the toothbrush is not being fulfilled (does not stand and falls down) Over Priced & Low Quality Major focus is on the range and not on promoting children's toothbrushes separately Unattractive Colors Low Budget Major competition from low priced products (Chinese) in the market

20. BRAND VISION To be the catalyst of change for younger generation and to create a brand inspiring innovation. To see Giggles in the hands of 70% of our target market after 5 years. OBJECTIVE: To spread awareness about the importance of oral health and improve the quality of teeth of Pakistan’s Children so that they are able to live a better, happy and healthy life.

21. POSITIONING Competitive environment & target market are discussed earlier, and insights are included in AGENCY BRIEF ROOT STRENGTHS: Wide range of toothbrushes Local Brand The ‘Care’ is the core message, which has made Shield® a recognized household name in Pakistan.

The handle is cartoon shaped sized to fit optimally into a child’s hand for maximum comfort and control. EMOTIONAL Pride, care, joy, optimism

22.

23. POSITIONING DISCRIMINATIOR: Only Shield is the first one in the local market of Pakistan to emphasize on KIDS Tooth Brushes. ESSENCE: Changing the way you brush. Forever! STRATEGY: Niche strategy By targeting the segment of consumers aged between 5-10 and charge a premium price. To be able to differentiate from other tooth brushes in the KIDS segment.

24. AGENCY BRIEF 1. A. What is the JOB TO BE DONE and resulting Marketing Objective? JTD: To get kids and their parents to understand the importance of having healthy teeth, brushing at young age and to create an association between fun, excitement and tooth brushing. MARKETING MEASURABLE OBJECTIVES: To generate trial amongst non-users by 30 % till January 2010. To achieve a 40% purchase rate amongst the target market by the end of 2009.

25. AGENCY BRIEF 2. What insight drives this brief? Oral health has a major impact on children physically and psychologically. It can have an impact on growth, enjoying life, appearance, how children speak, chew, taste food and socialize, as well as their feelings of social well-being . Dental health problems affect children, which impact their performance as students, lowers self-esteem, and slows down their personal development. Failure to prevent dental diseases has a large effect on school attendance. Kids take tooth brushing as a compulsion and are always forced to do it by their guardians. Children find their toothbrushes boring and prefer their favorite cartoon characters on their tooth brushes. KIDS like bright, colorful and funky toothbrushes.

26. AGENCY BRIEF Today's kids have more autonomy and decision-making power within the family than in previous generations, so it follows that kids are vocal about what they want their parents to buy. "Pester power" refers to children's ability to nag their parents into purchasing items they may not otherwise buy. Increasing participation of women in the workforce has prompted a shift in this role as children are increasingly the "buyers“ for the entire family. Even in families where women do not work, children are observed to share this role with their mothers. Children enjoy greater discretion not only in making routine consumption decisions for the family but also in pestering their parents to buy other products desired by them.

27. AGENCY BRIEF CONSUMER INSIGHTS FROM OUR QUESTIONNAIRE: KIDS like bright, colorful and funky toothbrushes. Kids take tooth brushing as a compulsion and are always forced to do it by their guardians. Children find their toothbrushes boring and prefer their favorite cartoon characters on their tooth brushes. Favorite cartoons are Tom & Jerry and Barbie. Majority of the mothers prefer Oral-B and Colgate. Majority of the mothers prefer Imported brands of toothbrush over SHIELD, some of them do not know that SHIELD also has tooth brushes for Kids. Quality is the most important factor in purchasing a toothbrush Dentists recommendation influence a lot when it comes to purchasing tooth brushes for kids. Parents are ready to buy a good quality tooth brush at any price Kids spend less than 3 minutes while brushing their teeth Candies are consumed a lot Majority of the kids eat sweets 1-2 times a day Kids’ tooth brushes are replaced within 3-4 months

28. AGENCY BRIEF 3 . Who is our Target Audience? PRIMARY TARGET AUDIENCE: AGE: KIDS aged between 5-10 years GEOGRAPHIC: Urban (Metropolitan cities Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad) SEC: A & B ATTITUDES: Have social interaction with peers of the same age group. They are not concerned about brushing their teeth and are quite careless. They love to eat lots of sweets and chocolates. LIFESTYLE: Kids that go to school, and are in the process of continuous learning. INFLUENCERS: Encouragement from parents, caregivers, teachers, adults, brothers, sisters and children themselves has a great influence on oral health. If everyone starts to encourage kids to take care of their teeth and also encourage big white smiles, children of all ages will benefit. SECONDARY TARGET AUDIENCE: Parents of the KIDS

29. AGENCY BRIEF Television and Print: For Brand Recognition, demonstration and awareness. Buzz or street marketing: To cut through the intense advertising clutter in young people's lives and generate talkability. Commercialization in education, to create a relationship and strong bond School used to be a place where children were protected from the advertising and consumer messages that permeated their world. Below-the-line activities: so that the consumers can experience our brand B. Initial recommendation on required channels to reach our target and why?

30. AGENCY BRIEF 4. What do they think & do now? KIDS have comparatively less knowledge on how to keep their teeth neat and clean. Some of the children take tooth brushing as a very boring exercise and also create problems for their parents. Kids get attracted towards cartoon oriented tooth brushes. The bristles of toothbrushes do not clean the plaque properly. 5. What would we like them to think and do in response to the communication? We would like them to think of tooth brushing as a fun experience, an experience full of adventure. In response to this, we want them to start tooth brushing twice a day for 3 minutes. We want KIDS to be the chooser of GIGGLES. We want parents to realize the importance of kid’s brushing their teeth at an early age.

31. AGENCY BRIEF 6. What is the single most important point to communicate? “ Tooth brushing is not a compulsion, it’s an adventure”. 7. Why should they believe it? Because SHIELD is the first one to communicate about KIDS toothbrush in PAKISTAN. Because SHIELD is the first one to introduce colorful cartoon oriented toothbrushes for kids in Pakistan.

Writing stories on THE TOOTH FAIRY would be held in various schools, and distributing prizes to winners. Distribute ice creams among children, and the ice cream stick should be shaped like a toothbrush having the brand name GIGGLES on it.

Coupons for discounted dental check up for 6 months on purchasing GIGGLES TOOTH BRUSH. Coupons for getting free bags, lunch boxes, water bottles for schools (Speciality advertising)

50. MEDIA EFFECTS ON CHILDREN Kids have a lot of information due to exposure to television, other media and friends. This reflects that parents sought their opinion even when purchasing products not directly related to the children, such as cars, because of their higher knowledge of brands, models, and the latest trends. Also, children state that parents buy products that make them happy. There is great concern about children as viewers of advertisements primarily because young children are exposed to thousands of commercials. Marketers use television as a medium of communication since it allows access to children at much earlier ages than print media can accomplish, largely because textual literacy does not develop until many years after children have become regular television viewers.
