purchase(GWP)• On pack coupon
a brief look over the alternatives Available.
3 for 2Buy two hair care items and get one free
Conditions1. Products should be of same brand.2. Least expensive one will be free.

Consumer market analysis Low brand loyalty reasons -changing brand produce better results -changing preferences(gentle to detangled to shiny) -difficulty to identify meaningful difference among different brands
• Professional brands were purchased by women between 25-30 years of age.
• Premium products were bought for special occasions as a “treat”.
Major competitors of boots(mass - market)• Procter and gamble- customer awareness very high and
widely available.• Alberto-culver – introduced 30-sec brand advertisement
and offered a wide variety of products.• L oreal – almost found in all distribution channels with
products focused on women beauty.
Conditions • Mass market brands were the primary target of the promotion• No product size variation• No media advertising, however flyers will be used• Signage within the store to promote offers
BETTER OPTIONAFTER ANALYSING EACH ALTERNATIVE, COMPATITORS AND CONSUMER MARKET THE BETTER OPTION AMONG THEM IS TO CHOOSE 3 FOR 2 STRATEGY FOR PREMIUM PRODUCTS AND GWP AND COUPONS ON MASS PURCHASE PRODUCTS.
