Colgate Max Fresh Case Study The Colgate Max Fresh: Global Brand Roll-Out article presented a case of Colgate-Palmolive Company and the process of taking a new product, Colgate Max Fresh, global. Colgate-Palmolive had the leading value market share of toothpaste in the U.S. 2004 with 34.8% and Crest from Proctor & Gamble close behind at 31.6%. Colgate also had a commanding lead in the international market with a global toothpaste market value share of 39.7% in 2004, compared to Proctor & Gamble with only 14.7%. Colgate looked to continue its dominance in the toothpaste market by taking advantage of the increase in the demand of cosmetic attributes to toothpaste.

The Mexicans were concerned about getting cavity protection at a cheaper price and there must be a strong sales promotion implemented. Right off the bat Colgate-Palmolive had problems with the entry date in that they wanted to introduce it at the same time or even before the November 2004 launch of Crest Cool Expressions to neutralize their sales. They could not reach this deadline, however, because they needed to adapt the marketing program to fit the Mexican consumers and the deadline was pushed back to May of 2005. Managers claimed that this would not be a big problem because Crest had such a small share of the Mexican market that their share would not increase much. Another problem that Colgate-Palmolive ran into was that the Mexican consumers thought that because the toothpaste focused on freshness it would lack the cavity protection. Managers debated also including cavity protection on the box, but they decided to remain on a one track “freshness” mind. Because of this, projected sales were average to low. Once again like China, Colgate Max Fresh would be priced the same as Crest’s Cool Expressions. Management changed the flavors as well to Cool Mint, Clean Mint, and Cinnamint. Also, they chose to change the advertising away from Emily Proctor to a new campaign. This ad would show a “Snowsurfer” using Colgate Max Fresh to get a “joy ride for your mouth”. They chose to run these ads by using in-store merchandising, sampling, and
Acute renal failure occurs quickly over a period of days or weeks with a reduction in GFR and elevation of BUN, plasma creatinine and crystatin C levels. Oliguria (urine output of < 30ml/hr or < 400 ml/day) is usually associated with ARF, although urine output may be normal or increased as well. Fluid is still filtered at the glomerulus but there is an alteration in tubular secretion or reabsorption. Most types of ARF are reversible if diagnosed and treated early (Perrin, 2009).
D-Met with the patient to address a fax from DCF request of the patient records. The patient immediately said, " Don't send this shit. I cannot stand that worker.....I was in court the other day and I am tired of this and this worker always in my business." The writer explained to the patient that should he continue to refuse to sign an ROI, it may hurt his reunification with his son as the patient detailed to this writer about how DCF got involved in his life ( According to the patient, he was intoxicated when visiting his son and a case was called against him and the child's mother). The patient made it clear to the writer that he has no desires to signed an ROI for DCF and for the clinic to ignore DCF request.
Reporting party (RP) called CCIB to cross report that resident Gerald Gilliland (DOB: 4/22/41) reported that while he resided at this facility, unknown male staff locked him in a room against his will. It is unclear what room the resident was locked in because resident was unable to convey any details about the room.

In my opinion, all stay involved should bear responsibility for the conditions at WGYCF. The staff at WGYCF deliberately allowing crime to happen right under their nose and did nothing about it. “WGYCF staff engaged in a pattern or practice of using excess force against youth” Bohm, R. & Haley, K. (2014). The staff failed to supervise, failed to report allegations of staff sexual abuse, failed to protect the youth from ongoing harmful attacks from other youth inmates. Therefore, all staff involved should bear responsibility for the conditions at WGYCF especially Mississippi State Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps.
Colgate-Palmolive Co (CP) was an international leader in household and personal care product, with the sales of $6.06 billion and profit of $2.76 billion in 1991. CP set up a five-year plan in 1991, pointing out that company needed to focus on new product launching and entry into new geographic markets by improving the manufacturing, distribution and the continuance of the core consumer products. Started from 1984, CP’s CEO awaked the company from “sleepy and inefficient” to profitable. Both gross margin and annual volume growth increased from 1985. Although everything seemed good, CP was facing the worldwide strong competitions from other companies. In order to have some protections, 170 CP’s
I agree! As our readings state, one of the problems with TIF’s is that they may not be able to generate the predicted tax revenues and the resulting lack of funds could threaten efforts to revitalize the designated area. My municipality is currently experiencing a downtown in the market, and if TIF’s had been used based on the assumption of incremental tax increases, the expected level of funds would not currently be available.
Majority of the patients with TMD have relatively mild or infrequent symptoms which may improve on their own within weeks or months with basic home therapy. Following simple remedies like eating soft foods, applying ice or moist heat, and avoiding extreme jaw movements may aid in easing symptoms. According to the NIH, because more studies are needed on the safety and effectiveness of most treatments for jaw joint and muscle disorders, experts strongly recommend using the most conservative, reversible treatments possible. Although TMJ disorders have become persistent, most patients still do not need any aggressive types of treatment.

By increasing successful and ideal operations and strengthening relationships with their customers, companies existing in this market diminish the significance of threat over newly accepted competitors. Toothpaste companies are still growing strongly, therefore additional firms are trying to enter the market to benefit from the increasing profits. However, most toothpaste companies have already made their name and their customers stay loyal to their brand, therefore it is hard to get into this market. With toothpaste being such a popular item and an essential in households,
Colgate as a company strives to be the best company to have the best dental products. In an article from the website live strong Norma Chew wrote, “Colgate Palmolive Company is one of many companies that provide dental care products to the consumer.” Colgate as a company is expanding their products. Colgate was once only known for selling toothpaste, but now they have a wide variety of dental products to promote clean teeth.
In Mexico the promotional campaign was completely changed from the U.S. campaign and a third product flavor was introduced. The original two flavors were not changed, reducing costs compared to China. Costs in Mexico were kept low, and in the first two years Colgate saw a net profit in the Mexican market with Colgate Max Fresh. In China, however, many aspects of the marketing mix were changed, increasing costs tremendously. The product was changed by eliminating one of the two original flavors, changing the color of the other, and adding two new flavors. CP China’s management also tried a variety of packaging styles before choosing to use one that would increase the variable cost by 20% per unit. It turned out, however, that the design they chose was not up to CP’s global standards and after spending $1.5 million the idea was thrown out. The advertising campaign was changed to a riskier
