Executive Summary

Old Spice is perhaps the most original brand for men’s fragrances. Old Spice for men began in 1938. The industry for men’s fragrances was once a fairly small market, but has expanded greatly since the 1990s, as more diversified products have entered the market. An industry that was once dominated by aftershave and soap now contains a wider variety including deodorants, antiperspirants, body wash, shampoo, cologne, and more. The recent expansion of new products offered in the market means that companies and marketers are taking higher risks in a previously unutilized market. Currently, the men’s grooming market in the U.S. and Canada is valued at around $3.8 billion annually. Male specific brands have grown faster in recent years than the grooming market as a whole.

Old Spice is trying to re-brand its image and appeal to a younger audience to increase sales and brand awareness. In order to do this Old Spice needs to reach a new target market of males. These males should age from 12 to 34 year old.

A budget of $685,015.00 will be needed to rebrand Old Spice. With this budget we will reach our target market, create brand awareness, and most importantly increase sales.

Technological Trends

Old Spice sweat defense reduces wetness and odor by giving long lasting odor defense. It contains the antibacterial agent Triclosan, which prevents sweat from smelling foul, according to P&G. More advanced scents have been developed to mask odor better than their previous counterparts. Scent variants include Metallic Ice (spicy), Aqua Reef (citrus), Glacial Falls (watery) and Pure Sport (fresh). When Old Spice launched their new line of deodorants in 2003 there was speculation about the harmful affects aluminum (found in most antiperspirants) posed on the body, and the myth that prohibiting the body from naturally sweating may be unhealthy.  Old Spice marketing director Alex Lipinski countered the speculations by saying: "Our deodorant technology is much better than it was years ago, which is the reason for the launch."

Regulatory Trends

The Food & Drug Administration regulates both deodorants and antiperspirants. Deodorants and body washes are considered cosmetics by the FDA because they don't affect the body's structure or function. Antiperspirants are considered to be drugs because they affect the function of the body by reducing the amount of sweat that reaches the skin. Antiperspirants, according to the Food and Drug Administration, can safely and effectively reduce sweat for up to 24 hours, if formulated and tested properly. But different laws and regulations apply to each type of product. Some products, for example, must comply with the requirements for both drugs and cosmetics. This happens when a product has two intended uses, for example, when an antiperspirant is also a deodorant.

Economic Trends

The United States economy is still recovering from what is said to have been the worst recession since the Great Depression, and Florida caught the brunt of it. The real estate bubble burst in 2007, and financial markets followed suit in 2008. However, the 2011 economy has experienced an increase in consumer spending. A 2007 study by the World Bank found that the rich accounted for 58% of all world income in 2000, with 69% expected by 2030. The World Bank’s definition of “rich” was per capita income of about $30,000. The middle class was projected to maintain a 14% share of world income throughout 2000-2030, though one must remember that a stable percentage is applied to a world economy that will trend upward over the 30-year period. The retail value of all grooming products used by male residents of the United States is estimated by Packaged Facts at almost $14.1 billion in 2009. As a result, the total advance for 2004-2009 is shaping up to be 41%, for a five-year increment of $4.1 billion.

Cultural Trends

In recent years there has been a huge leap to social media for means of marketing and advertising for many companies. Old Spice is a perfect example of this, with consumer media consumption habits changing, social media has become an important marketing platform for all CPG manufacturers. Old Spice uses Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube to post videos about the product as well as new commercials. Old Spice has been singled out by industry commentators as the best practical example of social media marketing. Their campaign taps into the consumer insight that the women are more likely to believe men should spend time and money investing in their appearance, and social media was used to engage consumers in an interactive dialogue with the brand. What makes Old Spice successful is the fact that they feel men may not care about shower-time routines. But women, who do the majority of household purchasing, will buy a male body wash for their “main squeezes” as a recession-era treat. Or perhaps each shopper will pick up a bottle for her guy so, come shower time, he will keep his wet mitts off her products. Global men’s grooming market will boost to $84.9 Billion by 2014, this is partly due to all of the new media outlets, and Old Spice's recent success is why they have the lead in market share.

Unemployment and GDP

Ever since the real state bubble burst in 2007, the Florida unemployment rate has risen at a very fast rate. At the end of 2007 the unemployment rate was 4%, but by the end of 2008 the unemployment rate had risen to 8.1%, over four points in one year. Florida 2011 unemployment figures have peaked at a record 10.6%.

From 2005 to 2009 the Florida GDP was in a rapid decline. Since 2009, the GDP has experienced slow growth. In 2005 the GDP was $680,277 million, with a growth rate 6.1%, but by 2008 the GDP moved to $747,770 million, and the growth rate had declined to -3.4%. The graph below shows the trend of the U.S. GDP vs. Florida GDP since 2005.

|Analysis of Customer Environment |

Who?

The Old Spice customer base will consist of males who are between the ages of 12 and 34, living in urban or suburban areas of Florida of any ethnic background, and are most likely high school and college students, or young professionals. The customer base is not limited to males only. A study by shows that younger men are willing to try new products and purchase products that are part of the latest trends in men’s grooming, older men more often depend on females to make their purchases for them. Old Spice’s customer base will also include females over the age of 18 living in urban and suburban areas in Florida of any ethnicity that have at least one son, a boyfriend or husband that they would purchase Old Spice products for.

Considering females as part of the customer base means the purchaser may not be the actual user of the product. The person to influence the purchase could be a male fitting the demographics and psychographics mentioned above purchasing or requesting for a particular Old Spice product. The influencer could also be a female who meets the demographics and psychographics mentioned above that makes most of the purchasing decisions in the relationship, and/or that is conscious about her partner’s hygiene and personal health and knows what her ideal partner should smell like.

How Many?

According to a U.S Census Bureau report conducted in 2010, in Florida, there are approximately 2,987,175 males between the ages of 12 and 34 and close to 2,001,028 females in a relationship. According to Dean Macbeth, a digital strategist from Wieden + Kennedy, who spoke at a conference in 2010, said Old Spice’s “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” campaign received 1.5 billion impressions since its launch in February. By August 2010, the brand’s body wash sales had increased by 55%. Alex Keith, P&G’s global deodorants general manager, says that in 2009, Old Spice held 25% of the men’s deodorant market share. According to Experian Simmons’ Study of Media and Markets in Summer 2009, Old Spice was being used by 5% of U.S. men over 18 (pg. 271). Data provided by Experian Simmons also depicts that Old Spice deodorant was the most widely used deodorant brand of 23.2 million U.S. men over 18 (pg 275), and after- shave was used by 10.8 million men.

What?

Old Spice offers a number of products to suit a male’s hygienic needs consisting of different fragrances of antiperspirants, deodorants, body wash, body sprays, and fragrances/after shave. Buyers can purchase these products in different sizes. After shave comes in 2.5 oz., 4.2 oz., and 6.37 oz. bottles, body spray comes in a 4 oz. spray cans, body wash comes in 16 oz. and 18 oz. bottles, deodorant and antiperspirant sticks are sold in 2.0 oz., 2.6 oz., 3 oz., and 3.25 oz. containers. All products come in different packages available in big box stores, grocery stores, and pharmacies, as well as online retailers such as Amazon. Old Spice also offers special packages, such as the Fiji 6 piece gift set which comes with body wash, antiperspirant, body spray, and two varieties of smaller sized deodorants along with a loufa.

Light users of Old Spice products may be those who purchase hygienic products less than 1 time every 2 months and don’t use it frequently. Light users can also purchase Old Spice every now and then, but also use other competing products. Heavy users would consist of those who purchase only Old Spice products, or purchase these products often because they are highly active and need to apply multiple times a day.

Old Spice packaging consists of aluminum containers for body spray and plastic containers, both of which are recyclable.

Where

Old spice products are conveniently sold at many grocery, big box, and pharmacy stores. These include Publix Supermarkets, Wal-Mart, Target, and can conveniently be purchased in bulk at Sam’s Club or Costco’s. Old Spice products can also be purchased at pharmacy stores such as Walgreens or CVS. These products are purchased more at the grocery and big box store level because it is considered an “all in one haul” trip, meaning consumers can conveniently pick up these items while shopping for other related items. Customers that enjoy online shopping can purchase Old Spice online at , , , and , just to name a few. WheretoBuy provides a summary of online retailers for Old Spice products. In a test of brand power, Procter & Gamble's Old Spice hopes to entice visitors to its Web site with the lure of merchandise. The brand recently began selling Old Spice t-shirts, flasks, caps and even beer koozies on . The merchandise features the iconic Old Spice ship logo. This e-commerce component was added for brand imagery.

Why and How?

The primary benefit from Old Spice antiperspirant is that it provides 24-hour wetness and odor relief. Along with antiperspirants all other Old Spice products provide the customer with a variety of fresh scents to remove body odor for the active male. Old Spice’s main competitor is Unilever’s Axe men’s product line. Axe has targeted European markets by saying it is a lifestyle brand. Old Spice realizes this and is trying to dive into that market as well. According to a P&G spokesman, "You have more lifestyle fragrance brands like this in Europe, and we think there's an opportunity for that in the U.S.” In recent years childhood obesity is on the rise and with the push to be healthier Old Spice can offer its products to younger men who are exercising to keep them smelling fresh.

Why Non-customers?

Old Spice product pricing is relatively low but there is still not a lot of demand for their products from the lowest of income levels. The competitors at this level are the “value” stores that offer products that do not have the quality that Old Spice offers, for example dollar stores, Big Lots, and Sav-a-lot. Besides this issue Old Spice is distributed very well and is a well-known brand. The problem arises when potential customers already have loyalty to other brands. Price, basic benefits, and knowledge of Old Spice is not an issue but converting potential customers into customers is the real concern.

|Internal Environmental Analysis |

Financial Background

In June 2010, Procter and Gamble reached a gross profit of $41,019,000; in 2009 the company’s gross profit was approximately 1 million less. P & G’s net income in 2010 was $10,946,000 and in 2009 it was at $11,293,000.

In 2004, Old Spice’s market share was 20% of the $1 billion market. This year, the market share of Old Spice increased by 5% leaving it at 25% of the entire men’s toiletries market.

Marketing Information

In 1994 Old Spice started to target 18-34 year old males. The company offered a “money back guarantee” if consumers were not happy with the product.  The company started to realize that they were missing the mark on reaching 25 to 45 year old men who knew of Old Spice from the time their fathers used it.

To reach the younger group, Old Spice started handing out samples of their High Endurance deodorant to fifth grade health classes. Old Spice ended up covering 90% of the schools in the nation. Since the younger target market did not have much experience in purchasing deodorants, Old Spice made the connection that the younger target market would most likely pay more for a deodorant because of the inexperience.

In 2009, P&G started to gather information through focus groups on what people expected from a deodorant. Research found that consumers were not impressed with the Ever Clear deodorant Old Spice made in 1990. P&G created a new formula which would leave a clear layer of deodorant that would not clump up.

Advertising Campaigns

A recently successful Old Spice advertising campaign included a former football player turned actor, Isaiah Mustafa. Old Spice uploaded YouTube videos of Isaiah Mustafa in the form of a commercial, gearing towards the idea that a man who uses Old Spice products is found extremely attractive to women; in other words, it used sex appeal. These particular ads were found appealing by young men and women because the tone of the ads was funny and aspirational. The videos with the highest views were selected to be launched as television commercials.

Towards the end of March 2010, the video reached over 5.8 million viral views. After this particular ad was launched, Old Spice body wash products went up 11% in sales in 2009, and by February 2010 sales were up by 27%.

The Old Spice Swagger campaign was launched in 2008in an attempt to rebrand the “Glacial Falls” scent. The campaign was about transforming “wimpy nerds into strong manly studs.” Old Spice released ads featuring celebrities such as LL Cool J, Tony Stewart and Brian Urlacher, showing them as young nerds lacking confidence, following with snapshot of them grown up displaying them as confident successful men.

This particular campaign had surpassed the company’s goal to double its “Glacial Falls” sales and ended up quadrupling its growth.

Old Spice has been around for over 70 years. The company has focused on marketing to an older generation. Although Old Spice has shifted its marketing strategies to target a younger generation, it still has that brand image for an older working man.

Despite Old Spice’s successful advertising campaigns, efforts to appeal to a younger market do not have the same brand image. Brands such as Axe came out targeting a younger market from the beginning.

Old Spice also has the issue of competition against sister companies. Procter & Gamble has acquired many brands and product lines. As a side effect, cannibalization is created because its own brands are often competing against each other for the same customers and sales goals.  Old Spice is competing against Gillette, Tag, Mach3, and Prestobarba/Blue, all owned by P&G.

Today’s economy has been a major factor in lower profits of most companies. Due to the economic recession, consumer spending has decreased in the United States. Also, the prices for raw materials and shipping are increasing, resulting in an increase in operating cost. Although, this could become an opportunity because those not in the target market may begin trading down and begin using more affordable bands such as Old Spice.
