Before the substantial amount of competition came about, Febreze was the well-known and most reliable odor-eliminating product that caught customer’s interests. Proctor and Gamble created Febreze in high hopes of bringing people’s homes a sense of refreshment with an aroma specifically made to remove bad odors. When competition arose from brands such as Glade and Airwick, Proctor and Gamble took the initiative to distinguish their brand from the existing competitors. In-home interviews, focus groups and observations have all contributed to P&Gs insight on how Febreze can be successful as it once was (Schiffman & Wisenblat, 2014).
QUESTION 1
P&G’s first insight relies on “focusing on the problem rather than the solution” (Schiffman & Wisenblat, 2014, pg. 195). People’s reactions to bad odors play a significant part in how P&G will determine what kind of problem they need a solution for. P&G have taken note of the fact that unpleasant smells not only make it unbearable for people, but it also makes them feel queasy by the thought of foulness and uncleanliness (Schiffman & Wisenblat, 2014).
The second insight expresses sensory input through the in-home interviews. This is where customers are asked questions on smell and appearance when brought into homes. The “sensory functions are to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch” (Schiffman & Wisenblat, 2014, pg. 117). During this process, P&G learned that consumers believe that a messy home that smells good is more welcoming than a
Sam Anxious suffered a private nuisance, because the smell has significantly reduced his pleasure and enjoyment of his property.
Febreze was used at the end of a cleaning routine and became a habit. In the habit loop, Febreze was used as the reward and the craving was a clean scent. People become desensitized to their own home scent, so people then stopped using the spray, since they couldn’t smell any bad smells in their home. Olfactory senses can be the cause of the desensitization in your own home. For example, a woman lived in a home with nine cats which had a bad smell, but since she lived there and was always smelling it, she was desensitized, however guests that came over could easily smell how bad it
The p-value obtained was 0.0219. We can conclude that smell can minimize individuals level of bitterness perceived for PTC.
The most distinct possibility that CleanSpritz has is to branch into the commercial cleaning industry. Only 31.5% of MJ Brenner’s overall U.S. sales derive from the sale of household cleaning products (which is where CleanSpritz’ current market is). 40% of its (MJ’s) sales come from industrial cleaning products. Not only could CleanSpritz claim some of that, but their market research showed that there was considerable interest from businesses to purchase their 3:1 concentrated formula.
Most of us have probably, at one point in time, seen the Old Spice commercials. One commercial, in general, has become a very well-known one recently called the “Mom song.’ This commercial is in a series of commercials named “Smellcome to Manhood.’ These commercials first began in 2014 during the NFL playoff games and have since become some of the most popular commercials on television and the internet. Within a day of its airing, the term “Old Spice” was tweeted over 50,000 times, and the video has had over 1 million views since its posting on the internet. Some say it’s funny, others say it’s creepy. In any case, this commercial has the internet buzzing. What is it about this ad that make it so appealing? Although this commercial doesn’t realistically depict the product it’s advertising, its clever and subtle use of all three of the primary aspects of appeal (ethos, pathos, and logos) persuaded many to switch to Old Spice, and, as a result, root itself into the popular culture.
Arimount Corporation is well known for beauty and grooming. The launch of Everfresh deodorant will define the anti-perspiration market. A new chemical, tricliceron, will put Everfresh above the competition. Tricliceron will allow for freshness through the toughest sweats. After 20 years in the hygiene market, return on investments have been average. After the launch of Everfresh, revenue is expected to be above average. Currently, the market is saturated with below to average products that only mask the problem. Everfresh will eliminate the

Advertisers may try to sell a product by going after consumer’s insecurities. These insecurities typically involve personal appearance and the ability to “attract others” and may involve one’s scent or lack of perspiration. Old Spice strikes this market powerfully, with its wild commercials of Terry Crews jet skiing into a laundry room to sell the product. What about targeting insecure couples about smelling like a man? That’s exactly what the commercial titled “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like” aims to do. After watching the commercial once it seems like as ordinary as an old spice commercial should be, with the actor jumping from bathroom to boat deck to horseback, and the props in his hands changing into other props, but there is a hidden

Participants will sit in the experimental room in which the novel odour is ambiently diffused at above threshold concentrations and complete the room environment evaluation on the tablet to draw their attention to the ambient odour. Ratings on the evaluation will not be recorded. An emotive image will then be presented on the
Old Spice’s use of hyperbole is not in the dialogue, but in the visuals they use. The transition from the average bathroom, to ideal places of people’s fantasy’s, such as a boat or a tropical island, suggests that their product will give you a life similar. These visuals affect both men and women that watch the ad. The man in the commercial is fit, seemingly rich, and maintains eye contact with the viewer. Doing so utilizes the common desires of women to pursue their own argument with their partners into buying the product. The same man also sparks the insecurity in the male viewers. Using props such as diamonds or tickets to a show, can convince an audience that the product they are trying to sell can give the consumer the same fantastical effects. While exaggerating the appeal to women's desires and men's insecurity the Old Spice commercial manages to compare the actor to the average man but to push women to compare their partner to the
RESULTS: Odors were important to customers, they felt that odors impacted their social life, women and people below the age were more critical.
The Old Spice company has used different rhetorical approaches throughout the years to influence people to buy their products. In the 1950’s they stated it made you feel better, 1970’s said it made you a man, and
Each work environment is different, but chemical exposure is a universal concern for all nurses. Due to weak Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations, regarding chemicals, new chemicals can come on the scene unknowingly and without warning into a nurses’ work environment. One of the most common concerns of chemical exposure in a nurse’s work environment is “fragrance”. “Fragrance” is a common ingredient in beauty, health, and cleaning products. “Fragrance” is unregulated by the FDA and protected by law because of what
