The real threat to disposable nappies in 2011 and this trend continues to grow steadily, is the growing popularity of cloth nappies among consumers. 18% of consumers use cloth nappies at least some of the time, with disposable nappies being used for laundry day or at night. As cloth nappies are reusable, the cost benefits are appealing to consumers. However, it was revealed that the primary reason for the cloth nappies popularity is rising consumer concern over disposable nappies effect on landfill. With a 68% value share, Huggies dominates the market. However, with economic factors across all markets forcing consumers to look into the purchases of nappies with more involvement and a more conscious approach to the price mix and environmental factors, other competitors are gaining popularity.

In 2008, the American population saw a large wave of home foreclosures during the Great Recession that created an economic crisis that displaced millions of homeowners. Unable to recuperate from the terrible financial situation, these persons found comfort within the rental property industry. These previous owners, unable to purchase new homes, began renting property and living as tenants, contributing to the 4% growth record of the rental industry as published in a study that was conducted by Harvard University. With the growth of this industry, rental property owners began to devote more of their time to the development and marketing of their rental properties. These owners began providing lower rates for their properties, and they began making improvements that allowed them to increase the net profit that they received. With the continual “boom” of the industry and the popularity that it is receiving due to young adults needing places the live, rental property owners need an effective program that allows them to oversee their properties and communicate with their tenants.

If Johnson & Johnson, for example, were the suppliers of the Huggies brand to a large retailer store such as Walmart, they would be heavily tied to
