7. Why Shampoos?
Shampoos - low penetration category:
Urban - 36 per cent.
Rural -12 per cent.
Intense marketing by players, lower duties and availability of
shampoos in affordable sachets.
Scope for volume expansion by converting non-users.
Brand loyalties not strong. Consumers frequently look for a
change.
Brand management and positioning thus becomes important.
