Week 3:

State product strategy for the product.

What's so special about pampers diapers?

Pampers designed their diapers keeping kids in their mind.

Today's Pampers diapers are produced using the most delicate, breathable materials that interact
with your child as he plays and enjoys every day. Pampers have developed their layer constructions,
which permits the exchange and removal of fluids far from the child to a retentive center, where the
fluid is kept away to keep the baby in a comfort.

Product strategy.

Its absorption layer is made of polyester fibers that are both soft and very effective in absorbing
of liquid from the baby which keeps the child dry and comfort.

The outer covering of the diaper also known as the back sheet. That is made of a breathable film
topped with soft and smooth cloth like fibers to help block the diaper witness from being dispersed
into the babies clothes.


super absorbent gel, this gel was created and designed by pampers that is used in its diapers core
this material is so unique it can hold 30x the amount of liquid as its size is this help make sure your
baby is left dry for long periods of time.

Pampers fragrance after researchers and surveys conducted by pampers they found out that
parents loved to have diapers with soft ,baby-fresh scent. The fragrance is used at a low level so it
doesnt affect the babies skin yet keeps its scent.

The witness indicator designed by papmers have saved a lot of time for the parents by actually
indicating and showing whether the diaper is wet or not by implanting yellow straps that turn blue
when touched by the urine of the baby.

Week 3 continued :

State product strategy for the product.

Better nappies with fewer materials

The best opportunity to reduce environmental effects is by focussing on reducing materials used to
produce the diapers; this is based on studies by Pampers.
Pampers diapers today use significantly fewer materials than before. For example, they have
decreased the weight and packaging for the diapers by about 50% and they are working to further
improve these results.
Pampers is also eliminating the use of cardboard boxes in favor of bags. Surveys showed that
using bags instead of boxes will save more than 80% of packaging material. Changing from boxes to
bags will also result in fewer lorries to ship which will eventually save up to 162 tons of CO2

Between 2009 and 2014 pampers have reduced:

1.

Manufacturing waste by 78%

2.

CO2 emissions by 9%

3.

Energy consumption by 8%

4.

Water consumption by 4% (per unit of production)

5.

one of our largest factories in Poland, became the first Pampers plant to use 100%
electricity from renewable sources like sunshine, wind .

6.

In Germany, plastic offcuts are repurposed into plant pots!

Pampers packing:
Pampers packing are well known for their finishing they are very
attractive it makes the customers attracted to them just by looking at
their packing, pampers used the same idea applied for their logo on their
packings, As mentioned before pampers is eliminating the use of
cardboard boxes in favor of bags this will eventually reduce the size and
the weight of the packing, which will help the parents carry them easily
and store them easier than before. Further, more pampers announced a
contest to redesign their packaging look and gave a total of 5000 for
their winners.

Week 4:
State place strategy for the product.

Channel of distribution:
The pampers diapers are consumer care products since it will be used by the consumer, however, the
consumer is not the customer.
Retailers:
pampers diapers are dispersed to us by retailers,its market is so large that is sold all over the world in
groceries,shops and markets.retailers buy the diapers from the manufacturer and are then sold to the
customers. Furthermore, Pampers is available at retailers and e-tailers in more than 100 countries around
the world and has manufacturing plants in 25 countries for Example carrefour, Walmart, geant.
Wholesalers:
pampers diapers are dispersed to us by wholesalers basically the wholesalers buys the diapers from
the manufacturer and are then sold to either the retailers by large quantities or directly to customers.
The channel of distribution for pampers.
Of course, it's an indirect channel since we can only receive or buy them from retailers and
wholesalers.
There are no specific shops in which you may find pampers diapers. It's available in many stores and
shops this also includes pharmacies.
Location diversity and availability.
Pampers diapers will for sure be placed in kids care areas in shops at eye level for customers to be
attracted by their shiny, safe brand covering.
Pampers diapers are grouped based on the babies weight and age.
As been said before their diapers are available at retailers, wholesalers and pharmacies as major
shops to sell these types of products.

Week 5:
State pricing strategy for the product.
Pricing is done so that Pampers is economically affordable by all households.The pricing can be done
in many ways and there are many types of pricings such as cost-based pricing, demand-based pricing,
competition-based pricing, and psychological pricing. The important steps that are a part of the
pricing strategy are:
Selecting the pricing objective-
The pricing objective is a very tough situation. Where maximum current profit, maximum market
share, maximum market skimming, product quality leadership or other objectives are required to be
targetted. Pampers pricing objective is product quality leadership. pampers products are priced
higher compared to its competitors: like "Huggies" yet they are doing well because they focus on their
objectives which are to provide good quality diapers and they are achieving their goal continuously.
Determining the demand-
Each price leads to a different demand and has the different impact on a companys marketing desires.
At Higher prices demand to drop gradually but in the case of prestige and luxury goods it's different
where the higher the price the higher the demand. This is because higher prices are often associated
with high prices. However, if the price is too high the demand may fall. Determining the demand also
includes estimating demand curves, checking the price sensitivity and price elasticity of the demand.
Estimating costs-
It is important to know the overall as well as the cost of each diaper for pampers as they then need to
price the pampers accordingly. For pampers, it is obvious that the price of their products should be
more than the cost of its expense.
Analyzing competitors cost, prices and offers-
Pricing is also elastic; consumers may buy a different product if the price of that product is better.
This is one reason why Pampers uses competition-based. Pampers major competitor is Huggies who
is owned by Kimberly & Clark. Both companies prices for the diapers are basically the same. which
maintain their portion of the market share. However, Pampers diaper costs a little more than Huggies,
which gives Pampers the advantage of focusing on the quality of their diaper.
Manufacturing:
Pampers manufactures about 350 400 diapers per minute in each
factory which is almost 183,960,000 to 210,240,000 diapers by
pampers annually

Week 5: continued
State pricing strategy for the product.
Selecting a pricing method-
Many types of pricing methods are there, however, I will mention some of the ones used by pampers
or have been used before at some point, this includes:
Mark up pricing
"The difference in between the cost of making and selling the diaper."
Target return pricing
"Is the pricing policy where the firm determines the price that yields
its target rate of return on investment."
Perceived value pricing
"Pricing the diaper based on how much is the customer willing to pay for it."
Selecting the final price-
While deciding the final price pampers must consider additional factors including:
The impact of other marketing activities,
Company pricing policy,
Cain and risk sharing pricing and the impact of price on the other parties,

Finally psychological pricing
psychological pricing takes place before the final price is set. Pampers use psychological pricing in a
way that all of their pampers prices end with a nine. This makes the consumer feel they are receiving
a good value for their spent money. Furthermore as mentioned before pampers set higher than
average prices to suggest exclusiveness, quality, and prestige. Many consumers associate that higher
the prices mean the better quality it is .

Week 6:
State Promotional Strategy for the product.
The promotional mix of Pampers contains a variety of elements through non-personal selling. These
elements include advertising, product placement, sales promotions, and sponsorships . All these
methods of promotion are consistent with Pampers message.

Advertising

What are the goals of advertising ? and how does pampers do it ?

The goal of advertising is for you to be the number 1 in the top of mind of a target audience, It Is
done in magazines that pertain mostly to parenting, TV commercials, billboards, and through direct
marketing. Pampers decided to cut back on their TV commercial air time and concentrate more on
their advertising using product placement. Procter & Gamble Co. were always known as one of the top
spending companies on advertisement and this is true in relation to the fact that over the past 7
years they were the highest spending in the US (2009-2015) in 2015 they spend over 7 billion
dollars on advertisements in the US, In 2016 pampers spent more than 8 billion dollars on
advertisements, The company is also shifting huge amounts of its budget to digital advertising,
because it believes online ads deliver a higher return on investment than TV or print advertisements.
Pampers has been promoted in some countries on billboards. Another method that has been used to
promote the product is direct marketing program where relevant content is mailed to mothers with
babies. These mailings can include Pampers samples or Pampers Coupons, furthermore, P&G
contributes to flood relief efforts in Pakistan in part through its Pampers brand and "Spread a Smile"
campaign, which provides free health check-ups, medicines, and oral rehydration therapy to babies
and children living in the flood affected areas.

Advertising in philippines

advertising in philippines during 2011 based on "De La Salle
University Manila" college of the business marketing department.
