    Prior to the establishment of Dove as a Masterbrand in February 2000, the brand was positioned differentiated in the health and beauty sector. The brand refused to call its product a soap for 40 years and insisted that it was something entirely new. This hints that it could have tried to be a pioneer in a new category of the health and beauty sector thus aiming for central positioning. Nevertheless, the brand was considered by the target market as soap with a unique value proposition, i.e. allowing oneself to clean the skin without drying out. Thus, it was positioned differentiated offering a unique benefit in an existing product category that allowed it to be distinguished from other brands.…

    The purpose of dove’s promotional mix is to promote and advertise their product to the public to gain interest and awareness about what they have to offer. By promoting their product they are trying to increase sales of this anti-aging lotion and also increase the profit coming into the business. Also they aim to gain more interest in the brand so that they will be able to sell more of their products. Dove uses advertising by commercially advertising themselves on mobile devices, for example if you have an app open on your smart phone adverts will usually pop up at the bottom of the app, dove uses this space to advertise themselves to gain the attention of a large amount of consumers. They also use visual advertising in the form of TV adverts; these adverts are usually plain and simple so that it is just focused on the product and nothing else.

    Brand History Dove. 50 years ago, it was a beauty bar offering a revolutionary new formula containing 1/4 cleansing cream. It went beyond mere "soap" to enhance the American woman's beauty. Today it is a global masterbrand with products ranging from the original beauty bar to facial foam, to deodorant to shampoo. Its latest campaign sets out to widen and redefine the perception of beauty, to make a positive contribution to women's self-esteem all over the world. Dubbed "Product X" in early 1953, the Dove beauty bar was a new product in a trifecta of Lever Brothers accounts hard-won by David Ogilvy, then a young ad exec for Hewitt, Ogilvy, Benson & Mather, Inc. While Lever Bros. announced HOB&M's appointment as the agency for their new product in June of '53, it wasn't until 1955 that the first advertising ran and the message: "1/4 Cleansing Cream" along with Dove's other standard messaging was developed. And, even though beauty trends and the representation of women have changed throughout the decades, the consistency of Dove's and David Ogilvy's original messages: "1/4 Cleansing Cream"; "Dove Won't Dry Your Skin Like Soap Can"; "Dove is Good for Your Skin" is still selling the brand today. So in 2005, we celebrate 50 years of Dove's relationship with women. Dove has evolved as a brand in the most revolutionary time in women's history. The body of work not only shows the evolution of Dove as a brand, it also shows how the attitudes of women and their role in society has changed in the past 50 years.…

Empowering women to be proud of who they are and what they look like, Dove makes great efforts in the self-respect movement.
