Introduction to the brand

Clean & Clear is a line of dermatology products owned by Johnson & Johnson. The brand was originally developed by Revlon as a line of sensitive skin personal care items in 1957. The “Clean and Clear” name was based on products that contained no fragrance

J&J targeted female teenagers because they:

• Have spots
• Use a lot of medicated products
• Would grow up and be potential adult buyers of the brand

Clean & Clear was launched in the UK in 1992, following its successful launch in the USA in 1991. In 1992, Clean & Clear was virtually unknown among teenagers. Therefore, this was effectively a completely new launch to the female teenage consumer

The first Clean & Clear product was a skin cleanser. Revlon introduced lotions and bar soap by 1986, and hair conditioner and shampoo by 1989.

The brand was originally developed by Revlon as a line of sensitive skin personal care items and was introduced by 1956. The Clean & Clear name referred to the fact that the products contained no fragrance or dyes, and left no residue after rinsing. In 1991, Revlon sold Clean & Clear to Johnson & Johnson.

MARKETING STRATEGY

Marketing, like any other key business activity, requires direction provided by clear objectives. For Clean & Clear these were to:

1. Become the No. 1 medicated skincare brand by value
2. Become the most popular medicated brand amongst female

By the end of 1996 Clean & Clear had won 14 per cent of the market.
However, after five years Clean & Clear had not achieved its key objectives: it was not the No. 1 medicated brand and it was not the most popular brand amongst teenage girls. This suggested that it was not establishing the depth of relationship that it had anticipated.
The first warning sign was that the growth in sales appeared to be being generated by distribution gains rather than consumer demand. In other words, between 1992 and 1996 ten new Clean & Clear products were launched - while these were being bought by retail outlets the actual stockturn of the brand was slowing down. Stockturn measures the rate at which the total brand’s products are moving off the shelf. This is achieved by dividing total value sales by aggregate distribution.
Thus the increase in sales of Clean & Clear products was more as a result of increasing varieties being made available rather than substantial increases in demand for the individual products. In fact the sales of some of the more established products were actually

    A classic touch or a modern flair? This is a problematic judgement in which many people find themselves facing for some prefer a traditional, timeless approach while others are more inclined to a contemporary and prevalent style. Personal preference is the common rationale for this type of circumstance; however, in the eclectic world of advertisement and media, society is thrown into a facetious warfare of men’s grooming products. Infomercials on television are infamous for pitting comparable products against each other in a clash to witness which advertisement appealed so well to audiences that resulted in a rise in their products demand. Men and women use their personal taste to determine which product is better, though in TV world the real question is which commercial is more effective than the other.…

    In chapter 3 of Freakonomics, “Why do drug dealers still live with their moms?,” Levitt and Dubner discuss the idea of conventional wisdom. Galbraith, an economist, believes that “conventional wisdom must be simple, convenient, comfortable, and comforting--though not necessarily true” (Levitt & Dubner, 2009, p. 86). For example, an advocate for the homeless was quoted saying that over 3 million Americans were homeless, which would be 1 of every 100 people.…

    In the 1900s, cosmetic products, like the Sweet Georgia Brown Cleansing Lotion, were introduced to American culture and slowly began to replace the process of creating beauty products at home. The Sweet Georgia Brown Cleansing Lotion, made by Valmor Products Co., is an example of one of the new beauty products introduced at the end of the early 1900s. This product was specialized for African-American women, which can be understood from the image of the African-American woman featured on the bottle. The cleansing lotion was intended to cleanse, and arguably whiten, an African-American woman’s skin, which can also be understood from the image of the African-American women on the bottle since she is visibly wearing products that give the appearance…
