Marketing strategies of Sunsilk
BRANDING STRATEGY
The actual branding strategy for a firm displays the number and dynamics involving frequent
and distinctive brand elements placed on all the solution distributed with the firm. Branding
approach involves deciding the type involving brand-new and recent brand elements being
placed on brand-new and recent items.
Branding Decisions:
Strategy of branding is amongst the almost all vital choices having through marketers. This
can be a technique, which in turn gives plenty of constructive responses to get a
corporation. The primary determination is actually regardless of whether to build up a brand
name to get an item. Right now, printing is actually this type of pressure that will hardly
anything, should go unbranded. Unilever follow specific name with regard to location name
with regards to diverse merchandise, like Sunsilk, Dove (Shampoo), Fair & Lovely, ponds and
Dove with regard to skin care. Unilever get yourself a significant good thing about anyone
name techniques that the company doesn't connect their standing on the merchandise. And
so, if virtually any company is not able or maybe generally seems to have got substandard
quality, the companies name or maybe graphic seriously isn't injure.
Choosing General Strategy:
Flank Attack:
Sunsilk can adhere to
segmental technique. In
industry Go & shoulder
area focusing on mainly
high and middle-class
individuals but big
section in reduced
category customer
could not follow their
product. So, Sunsilk
focusing on the reduced
category, who have low
earnings and release
awesome at a
discounted.
Frontal Attack:
Sunsilk can
release new hair
shampoo mixing
refresher, anti-
dandruff, and
shinning in a one
product as
adhere to as Go
& Shoulders.
Bypass
Attack:
Sunsilk can
present anti-
dandruff hair
shampoo and
provide an
extra
refresher in a
package.

Recommendation
Sunsilk should drive according to local preferences and needs.
Sunsilk can arise and ensure social responsibility in the society, so they would
establish themselves in customer mind and customer would be loyal about Sunsilk.
Maintain image among customers, mainly advertisement covers huge expenses of
Sunsilk, but we recommend them to cut their advertisement expenditures, in the
economic crisis and should more focus on social responsibility.
To ensure social responsibility and highlighting benefits they provide Sunsilk can
raise their revenue.
Extensive marketing methods Unilever should make people aware of the fact that it
is a Unilever Product and not just any product so that the brand loyalty increases.
Lever should create gang of girls type activity in Pakistan.
Improve promotional strategy as P&G have.
Conclusion
Sunsilk has huge potential of rural market 72% of total population but not yet develop a
successful strategy to penetrate this market. The success of Sunsilk emulated which
capturedthe rural market by two strategies-
Develop strong distribution structure and Adopting packaging and pricing. Sunsilk increase
buying of raw material so that it does not have to suffer devolution and continuously
increase in tariff rates. They introduced a smaller 100mi pack of Sunsilk in order to capture
lower income segment. Sunsilk enter into web marketing. They should increase frequencies
of advertising by electronic and print media. They should introduce 2 in 1 shampoo plus
conditioner which demand huge potential market. Finally, taking everything in account
we can say that if Sunsilk emphasize more on social responsibility and create more
attractive marketing programs, they can grab huge number of customers.
