Another product
that can be selected from the massive product portfolio of J&J is
Neutrogena, skin care beauty soap. Unlike baby shampoo which is primarily and
pre-dominantly targeted for children, this soap caters to the massive female
population all around the world. In addition to this the ingredients present in
the soap are also said to include components that do not only have elements
that increase skin glow and remove any pimples from the skin, but also acts as
an effective tool and product for people who are suffering from skin diseases
such as eczema.
Many of the
people suffering from such condition who have used this product said to have
developed remarkable and positive effects on their skin condition after the
usage of this product. Hence, it can be said that like baby shampoo Neutrogena
also has a beauty adding as well as medicinal value attached to it (Sharma,
2010). However there are some other aspects that can help us in pinpointing
differences between the two products especially in terms of the channels they
utilize integrated forms and platforms of marketing.
From a wholesale
and retail point of view Neutrogena can be said to be a positively marked
product, however it is from logistical and global distribution perspective when
errors begin to creep in. The product lacks proper distribution in some places
of the world, which implies that the product and its logistical planning for
global locations and operations need to be streamlined and restructured as per
the needs and requirements of newly emerging markets as well as those that are
already considered to be stable market grounds and regions for the product.
Also, if the global distribution of the
product goes unattended it will ultimately manifest its impact on the presence
of the product in retail stores where it is already available at present. Also,
like Baby shampoo product, Neutrogena is also used by J&J for extending its
corporate responsibility and social purposes through campaigns like
Dermatologists training on different issues related to skin and the ways
through which products like Neutrogena can be helpful in preventing them.
Conclusion
In conclusion it
would be appropriate to state that for each product chosen of a brand like
J&J the strategy employed for the fulfilment of integrated marketing
objectives and aims is different. However, the core objective behind the
marketing campaign remains the same. It is to maximize the consumer base for a
product and market it in a way through which the core objectives of greater
profit margins can be achieved.
