The largest advertising budgets are devoted to parity products such as gasoline, cigarettes, beer and soft drinks, soaps, and various headache and cold remedies . The first rule of parity involves the use of the words "better" and "best." In parity demands, "better" means "best" and "best" means "equal to." If all the brands are identical, they must all be equally good, the legal minds have decided. So "best" means that the product is as good as the other superior products in its category. When it’s declared Prigat Orange Juice "the best there is" it means it is as good as the other orange juices you can buy. The word "better" has been legally interpreted to be a comparative and therefore becomes a clear request for superiority. They could not have said that Prigat is "better than any other orange juice." "Better" is a request for superiority. The only time "better" can be used is when a product does indeed have superiority over other products in its category or when the better is used to compare the product with something other than competing brands. An orange juice could therefore claim to be "better than a vitamin pill," or even "the better breakfast drink." The second rule is simply that if any product is truly superior, the ad will say so very clearly and will offer some kind of convincing evidence of the superiority. If an ad hedges the least bit about a product's advantage over the competition you can strongly suspect it is
The Product is the first variable in the marketing mix. Gatorade is already a “brand” name. Therefore I would focus on its functionality. As stated by S. White, “product strategy encompasses all the elements that enable a product to serve its owner” (2012). The quality of Gatorade has surpassed it’s competitors for years, but I would ensure that we continued to live up to it. As stated by S. White, “more quality creates a better value for the consumer, delivering greater satisfaction with the

Informational Communication. Some documents are eyeing a goal, but some are simply to inform the audience. For example, an email can be about a change in a policy, a help manual for a particular program or facility, or changes in the organisational structure.
It is evident that Kingsford is a superior product to its competitors such as Royal
The last appeal that an advertiser will attempt to make is that of logos, or the logical appeal. Advertisers know that price is not the true appeal to all buyers and excluding it from their ad not only allows merchants to adjust the price by market but also allows the readers to do more research into the best product choice. In this ad, the visual aid points the reader to a small clock. This clock seems meaningless and out of place until the reader checks the statement that Crest lasts five times longer. However, claims of longer lasting fresh breath may not make a believer out of all consumers. For this reason, Crest shouts out, on their web site, that all their products are
Over the last few decades, American culture has been forever changed by the huge amount of advertisement the people are subjected to. Advertising has become such an integral part of society, many people will choose whether or not they want to buy a product based only on their familiarity with it rather than the product’s price or effectiveness. Do to that fact, companies must provide the very best and most convincing advertisements as possible. Those companies have, in fact, done
In the case of product development, product tests were made on Scope, product development department has demonstrated that Scope reduced plaque better than brushing alone because of the antibacterial ingredients in it. So the PDD has recently developed a new pre-brushing rinse product that performed as well as Plax but didn’t work any better than Plax in removing plaque. The key benefit of this recently launched product is that it tastes better than Plax. However, PDD’s preference was to not launch a new product, but instead to add plaque reduction claims to Scope. Since the basic argument was that it is better to protect the business that P&G was already in, than to launch a completely new entry.

Both competition and market size are of major importance when one explores the positioning of a product. In the case of Crescent Pure, this is vital as Ryan must determine the level of competition that will be faced if the product is marketed as either an energy or sport drink. In the case of an energy product, it should be noticed that there is heavy market dominance by Together, Freight, Razor, Torque and Steller, as they account for roughly 85% of the market. Despite this, it should be seen that the average price point for a 5oz can is $2.99 which is notably higher than Crescent’s $2.75 pricing. Additionally, the market size for sport drinks is of particular interest as it is estimated to grow to $8.5 billion by the year 2013. This, coupled with the fact that the market had grown 40% between the period 2010 – 2012, makes this sector of particular interest to PDB.
The effect of this aggressive competition can be seen in Figure 2, which shows a sharp decrease in Lucozade’s market share from 2002, following the introduction of Powerade (owned by Coca-Cola) and C&C Club Energise (introduced in 2003) to the market. Every year since 2006, however, has seen Lucozade Sport regain market share, firmly consolidating its position of market dominance in Ireland. This trend endorses the quality of Lucozade Sport’s marketing, as it is succeeding in fighting off stiff competition. “Functional drinks is dominated by Lucozade brand, with Lucozade Energy and Lucozade Sport recording a combined volume (market) share of 54% in 2009” as stated in Euromonitor International (2011).
