Create a new marketing strategy for Secret Brand to implement value pricing in order to return Secret to the #1 market share position.
Secret Brand had adopted an everyday low price strategy in order to move away from unprofitable high value coupons which had become more common. An exhaustive review and analysis of past promotions revealed that the size of the volume bump from coupons did not vary greatly by the value of the coupon. They key to driving product volume was gaining feature in local retailer circulars and in store displays.
Low value coupons drove feature and display in similar way to higher value coupons while costing the brand much less in promotional expenses.
Focus group research revealed that loyal customers expected a regular coupon reward, and price conscious customers were more likely to buy regardless of the coupon size. As a result many loyal customers has switched to other brands.
I developed a new theme driven promotional calendar to drive in-store feature and display supported by low value coupons. Tie-ins to Publishers Clearing House mass mailings, family focussed portions offering Zoo discounts, and sampling programs which reached 90% of Sixth grade girls resulted in major share gains.
The Result: Secret Brand returned to the #1 share position with the largest market share in a decade.
