Fantastik Cleaners
Executive Summary
Fantastik is an all-purpose cleaner made by SC Johnson that has two main product lines; the Fantastik Original and the new, more powerful, Fantastik Evergreen. These are not just regular chemically made cleaning products but are 100% environmentally safe.
Fantastik is currently the market leader with 37.9% and has an extremely loyal consumer base following the SC Johnson brand but they are currently losing market share due to a lack of positioning by the company. One main advantage Fantastik holds is there is a current trend for consumers being more green conscious which makes the product more attractive. This is why communicating Fantastik’s position “Clean Green” message must be done effectively.
There are three main segments Fantastik needs to focus on who we have named ‘The Family Mom’, ‘The Clueless’, and ‘The Old Reliable’. We feel we are able to aim at all three segments because they are extremely similar and interrelated but all of them require different promotional plans. The main competitor for Fantastik is Lysol with a 17.2% market share but the closest direct competitor is Vim. There are many well established competitors in the market but none of them have Fantastik’s competitive advantage on being environmentally friendly.
The product may not be superior to chemically based cleaners but Fantastik will stay competitive by communicating their idea ‘Clean More, With Less’. The new selling prices will be $2.99 for the Fantastik Original and $4.60 for, the stronger version, Fantastik Evergreen. Effective corporate brand advertisements will be implemented by SC Johnson to hit all three of the target segments. Fantastik will also continue to sell its products to retailers and will continue to build stronger relationships by giving retailer higher margins in exchange for better in-store promotions. Fantastik expects to achieve profits between $577,915 and $778,928 in 2007.

    “You’ll stop paying the elbow tax, when you start cleaning with Ajax!” was the first commercial jingle to air on television in the United States. In 1948, this jingle was used for Ajax Cleanser. Colgate-Palmolive popularized this manufactured cleaner in 1947. The mythological entity Ajax helped the company come up with their original and most popular catchphrase, “Stronger than dirt!” Ajax All-Purpose Cleaner with Ammonia was made as a current seller in 1962, and became the primary leading adversary to Mr. Clean. In 1964, Colgate-Palmolive brought to the market Ajax Laundry Detergent. This detergent brought the popularly jeered commercial, starring the United Kingdom actress, Ann Lancaster, who proclaimed, “Armed… with Ajax!” and “It cleans like a white tornado.” The brand name Ajax created a new arrangement of household cleaning products and detergents; the entire arrangement brought the company great achievements in the early 70’s. A few of the products from their new line were Ajax Window Cleaner, Ajax Bucket of Powder, and Ajax Spray Cleaner. Colgate-Palmolive products are sold only in Canada and the United States, except for the new Ajax Spray n’ Wipe products for windows, bathrooms, and other household areas, which are popularly recognized in New Zealand and Australia. The name Ajax has been heard through many homes for the past sixty years, and will be heard much more throughout the future because of the product’s great cleaning abilities, low prices, and sweet, fresh scent.…

    Andrew Pole's Stereotypes

    To understand why executives are so entranced by this science, consider how one of the world’s largest companies, Procter & Gamble, used habit insights to turn a failing product into one of its biggest sellers. P.& G. is the corporate behemoth behind a whole range of products, from Downy fabric softener to Bounty paper towels to Duracell batteries and dozens of other household brands. In the mid-1990s, P.& G.’s executives began a secret project to create a new product that could eradicate bad smells. P.& G. spent millions developing a colorless, cheap-to- manufacture liquid that could be sprayed on a smoky blouse, stinky couch, old jacket or stained car interior and make it odorless. In order to market the product — Febreze — the company formed a team that included a former Wall Street mathematician named Drake Stimson and habit specialists, whose job was to make sure the television commercials, which they tested in Phoenix, Salt Lake City and Boise, Idaho, accentuated the product’s cues and rewards just…

    P&G incorporate sustainability into every aspect of their products from initial design, manufacturing to packaging and to the social impact (P&G). According to Nielsen (2015), 80% of Southeast Asian consumers are willing to purchase from company which has positive social and environmental impact. Moore also presented similar results as Nielsen (2015) whereby consumers demand CSR from company and do prefer to purchase from them (Moore, n. d.). However, in the context of Singapore not all consumers are willing to purchase eco-friendly household product such as detergent. It can be due to higher pricing as compared to conventional detergent, consumers are new to the products or consumers do not see the benefits of using eco-green products (Nielsen, 2015) However, environment friendly consumer will continue to support green products despite higher cost involvement as they understand the consequences of not using sustainable products. Loyal customer who are eco-friendly supporter will show continual support on green products and might not be affected by product…
