16. According to HUL it was a
“Marketing Programme with Social
Benefit”.
Covering 130 million people in
30,000 villages since
2002, becomes largest private
hygiene education project in the
world.
On April 7, 2006, on the occasion
of World Health Day, the
Department of Posts released a
special Lifebuoy 'Swasthya Chetna
Postal Cover„; HLL became India's
first brand to be featured on a
postal cover.
Sales during this period increased
by 20%.
17. HUL introduced „Lifebuoy‟ in 1895. with the promise that that it
kills germs and keeps the body healthy. Known as The Health
Soap.
Lifebuoy coined a distinct and jingling advertising campaign
during that period, Tandurusti ki raksha karta hai
Lifebuoy..., which survived for several decades.
HLL launched a new product called „Lifebuoy Special‟ as a line
extension with a distinct perfume that would convey the
deodorant properties along with its main stream of strong
medicinal carbolic smell.
Few products intertwine with the brand in such a way that
consumers perceive the product as brand. Lifebuoy carbolic soap
became so popular during 2nd half of 20th century that any red
coloured bath soap was perceived by rural consumers as Lifebuoy
18. 1990s, the soap industry witnessed rapid growth and consumer
markets flooded with wide variety of new soap products.
“This picture of a sweaty, hardworking man bathing with a hard, red
carbolic soap, on the tandurusti (health) platform somehow stood
the test of time and continued till well into the 1990s.”
But its monopoly was challenged by new brands with more value
prepositions such as freshness, beauty care, nature-care.
By 1996, soaps, detergents and household care products of HLL
fell from the heights of 69% in 1992 to 45% in 1996 due to the
increased competition from Nirma, etc.
By the end of the 20th century, Lifebuoy witnessed a steady
decline in market share.
19. “Managing the lifecycle of a brand means
anticipating and preparing for brand „after life ‟
Line extensions, innovative methods of delivery,
next generation products are fast becoming the
new „after-lifeblood‟ of the industry.”
But the marketing strategies of HLL enabled the
brand to rejuvenate its life cycle by repositioning
the brand with several new products.
20. Backed by high advertising budgets, it
injected new products targeting higher
segments of Indian society
The new product was launched with a shift in
positioning from a „male brand‟ to a „family
brand‟ by offering new fragrance, extralather
and a new Active-B formulation that offered
protection against germs that cause
infections in the stomach, eye and in cuts and
bruises.
