History and evolution of dove

History of the brand

Dove was first launched in the US in 1957; is one of the leading brands of Unilever globally.

It was launched years after Unilever acquired soap factory De Duif in The Netherlands, from

which the brand name Dove is derived. Dove first appeared on the market in a decade 50 in

the U.S., and is produced in order to care for burns victims were due to the war.

Dove has been available in India since 1995 It is now the world's #1 cleansing brand. Dove

products are manufactured in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Ireland,

Netherlands, Thailand, Turkey and United States. The products are sold in more than 35

countries and are offered for both women and men. Dove's logo is a silhouette profile of the

brand's namesake bird, the colour of which often varies. The Dove Campaign for Beauty has

made the topic of beauty itself controversial, but marketers have kept the message itself

positive. Dove has its footprint in 80 countries worldwide with a range of superior products

from bar, lotions, body washes, face care and creams.

Dove brand now worth 111.8 million only its own table revenue from retail with 35% of the

population of the UK buy products from Dove in 2003.

Evolution of the Brand

While many people feel that Dove is a long time in England, but the actual bathroom Dove soap only came here in 1992, the brand name in children 4th in the list of Lever Faberge. Preeminent quality of the product is reflected through the exploration objective campaign with new ads, with a guarantee from the customer and a brand name – “Dove do not dry your skin type as the normal soap “This has helped Dove quickly hold top positions in the market in 1997. Dove has been positioned throughout its history without referring to it as "soap", but as a "beauty bar" with one-fourth cleansing cream; they stress its moisturizing of skin while washing in contrast to the drying effects of regular soaps (which their advertising calls simply "soap").

Real beauty can only be found on the inside and every woman deserves to feel beautiful. The image: Real beauty is portrayed by women who do not have "runway model" on their resumes -- they are the women passing by in grocery aisles or sitting in the office next door. The result: A dialog between Dove and its consumers about the definition of beauty.

Dove's marketing push defied conventional stereotypes and advocated for unconventional beauty and self-esteem. But before Unilever committed to the controversial campaign, it secured evidence that the majority of their consumers would relate to it. "The Real Truth about Beauty," a global research report commissioned by Dove, reported that only two percent of women worldwide describe themselves as beautiful.

In 1979, the phrase "cleansing cream" was replaced with "moisturizer cream". In 1979, a Pennsylvania dermatologist showed that Dove dried and irritated skin significantly less than ordinary soaps. As a result of this study, Unilever started aggressive marketing and won more than 24% of the market by 2003 In 2002, Unilever downsized from 1,600 brands to 400, nominating Dove to be one of its master brands. No longer just a beauty bar, Dove was to be a beauty brand, encompassing products such as body wash, deodorant, hair care and body lotion. Nothing in its heritage had prepared the brand to represent all of these functions. Dove now had to come up with a message that could speak for all its products. Dove launched a” real beauty campaign” and this campaign was launched in 2002. In this campaign all the dove products were united under one message and it was delivered through the traditional media. The billboards were placed strategically in locations such as Grand Central Station, where they would be sure to catch the eye of producers and reporters. The intention of the advertisement was to engage people to participate in the campaign, and at that they were successful. While "fat" eventually logged the most votes, Dove marketers were not discouraged. They decided to take the concept a step further and talk about self-esteem in 2005. It purports to be "an agent of change to educate and inspire girls on a wider definition of beauty and to make them feel more confident about themselves". To this end, Dove created a number of largely online-only short films, including Daughters, Evolution, Onslaught and Amy. Dove used YouTube to ask their consumers to help create the Self-Esteem Campaign. To get things started, Dove posted a fast-motion, one-minute film entitled, "Dove Evolution," which races through the cosmetic artistry and Photoshop "plastic surgery" that ultimately transforms a model's features into an ethereal face that then appears on a billboard. The film ends with the tag line: "No wonder our perception of beauty is distorted."

Instruments of Data Collection

Brand Asset Valuator Model

Y&R (originally Young & Rubicam) is a marketing and communications company specializing

in advertising, digital and social media, sales promotion, direct marketing and brand identity

consulting. They developed the Brand Asset Valuator Model. The BAV model measures the

brand health based on four components namely-Differentiation, Relevance, Esteem and

Knowledge.

Differentiation –This is the ability of the brand to stand apart from its competitors i.e. - how

it distinguishes itself from its competitors and what prevents it from becoming a

commodity. A brand should be as unique as possible and more unique the brand is greater

is the brand value.

Relevance-Relevance tells us how well the consumer connects with the brand, it also helps

us know whether the product has mass appeal or it’s a niche product. It tells us about the

segment to which the product belongs and it also tell us about the household penetration.

Esteem- It tells us what the consumer’s perception about the brand is and also tells us about

the inclining or declining popularity of the brand.

Knowledge- Knowledge tells us about the consumer’s awareness level about the brand and

also how intimate the consumer is with the brand.

We have used a standard questionnaire for the five brands (… Questions each).Our

questionnaire consists of both close ended and open ended questions which helps us obtain

and analyze the data from both a qualitative and quantitative angle providing us with a

better insight in the subject.

Methodology

We have conducted a survey amongst a heterogeneous population (they differ in terms of

regions from which they hail socio-economic status, taste and preferences, etc).

Sample Size for Survey: 47

Page 9: Pbm phase 1

Laddering

Laddering is an interview technique which is one-on-one in nature. This technique is particularly helpful in eliciting goals and underlying values which helps the user in nascent stages of his research. It is an unstructured approach trying to probe deep into the interviewees’ psyche and analysing his responses to come up with the “reason” why and how the product is important to them so as to derive from that the hidden motivating factor of the consumer behind buying the product. Laddering techniques involve creating, reviewing and modifying of hierarchical knowledge, often in the form of ladders (i.e. tree diagrams).

Why is it better than the “Zaltman Metaphor

Elicitation Technique”?

Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET) is a patented market research tool. Patent

#5436830 was issued on July 25, 1995. ZMET is a technique that elicits both conscious and

especially unconscious thoughts by exploring people's non-literal or metaphoric

expressions. It was developed by Dr. Gerald Zaltman at the Harvard Business School in the

early 1990s.

Reasons as to why laddering is better than ZMET:-

Zmet is mostly done on unconscious thoughts and it explores a person’s non-literal

or metaphoric expression and these are subject to relatively more interpretation

and hence are subject to the skill of the person doing the interpretation which

depends on experience and technique used and hence the results might be less

accurate than laddering.

Zmet is more time consuming and needs a larger amount of resources than

laddering

Zmet requires trained people who know the meaning and also needs identification

of the hidden motivations for example using hearing aid is looked upon as old and

flawed and this is why people postpone the purchase of a hearing aid though they

cite that cost is the reason to postpone the purchase. This job is very technical and

requires a lot of analytical skills. Laddering however does not require any such

specific techniques and hence requires relatively less trained professionals.

Moreover in case of ZMET getting such labour force can be a problem and the costs

of maintain such a trained force may be very high.

Zmet is more popular with non-profit organizations .It is more widely used to

address organizational issues.

Findings And Conclusions

1. Presentation of findings and conclusion for

Brand Asset Valuator model The analysis is to study the differentiation, relevance, esteem and knowledge of Dove. The competitor brands for our study are Sunsilk, Pantene, Garnier and Olay.

Brand Parity Prior to the analysis of differentiation, relevance, esteem and knowledge of Dove, it was important to understand whether consumers care about their choice between different brands of personal care products. The 47 respondents were asked whether brand was important for them when it comes to personal care products and these were the following responses:-

Thus from here it can be concluded that respondents do see the difference between the brands.

Brand Knowledge Knowledge is the extent of the consumer’s awareness of the brand and understanding its identity. The awareness levels about the brand, and what it means, shows the intimacy that consumers share with the brand. True knowledge of the brand comes through building of the brand. For measuring the brand knowledge of dove, the brand was compared with its competitive brands. The first question was on the logo of the brand. The respondents were showed the logo of few brands with the names removed. This showed the awareness which the respondents have of the brand. The brand with highest number of correct answers proved to be more aware in the minds of the respondents. Similarly, brand knowledge of the respondents was also judged by asking them to identify the taglines and celebrities involved with the brands. The results of knowledge for the five brands are as follows- The table indicates points.

Brand Knowledge

Page 12: Pbm phase 1

Garnier is highest on knowledge. For instance, in India Garnier has floated its tagline as “Apna Khayal Rakhna”. So, it helps to easily connect the tagline with the brand. Dove comes fourth in knowledge which is 40 percentile. The survey indicated that people are not much aware about the brand. Dove was launched in India in 1995. It not being an old brand still keeps many people unaware about it. Also not many celebrities are seen in the advertisements by Dove. We often notice a very common face in their advertisements. This could be a reason why people are less aware of the brand. Another survey was done to know about the top of mind recall of respondents when it comes to the soap category of each brand. Soap category was picked up as during laddering the brand above was often related to just soap instead of being a complete personal care brand. Assuming that there was lack of awareness among the respondents of the brand being a complete personal care brand, we took the core competency of the brand which is soap.

Dove brand is in top of the mind recall of 23 respondents out of a total of 47 which clearly indicates higher level of knowledge and esteem in the soap category.

Another aspect we wanted to know through our survey was whether respondents know that Dove is a complete personal care brand. The response we got from the 47 respondents was:-

Esteem Esteem is the perceived quality and consumer perceptions about the growing or declining popularity of a brand. Does the brand keep its promises? The consumer’s response to a marketer’s brand building activity is driven by his perception of two factors: quality and popularity. Both vary by country and culture. For measuring esteem of dove the following questions were asked. Respondents were asked the brand with which they would associate themselves with. If respondents have esteem for a brand, only then would they want to be associated with it. Another question was asked on brand promise. If a brand delivers its promise, then esteem for the brand increases as consumers will have a better perception of the brand. Trust also indicated the regard the consumer had for the brand. So, we asked the respondents to mention the brands they trust the most. The results of the survey are- The table indicates points.

Survey shows that Dove is highest on esteem. The reason for this could be that the perceived quality and consumer perceptions about dove are good and its popularity is growing. The brand is keeping its promises. The consumer's response to a marketer's brand-building activity is driven by his perception of two factors: quality and popularity, both of which vary by country and culture, which in case of Dove is high in case of Dove indicating good health of the Brand.

Brand Stature Esteem and knowledge together create Brand stature, which is a “report card” on a brand’s past performance and which determines the current power of the brand.

Thus it can be seen that Dove is high on esteem but very low on knowledge.

Differentiation Differentiation is the ability for a brand to be distinguished from its Competitors. A brand should be as unique a possible. Brand health is built, and maintained by offering a set of differentiating promises to consumers. And by delivering those promises to leverage value. For measuring differentiation of Dove, the following questions were asked. Respondents were asked to identify the brands from the taglines mentioned. This has been taken as differentiation, because, if a consumer can identify the tagline of a particular brand, it means that the particular brand is differentiated in the consumer’s mind. In this, the brand being identified the maximum number of times would get the highest marks and the remaining would follow accordingly. Another question was where the respondent, had to identify, if for a particular brand, there is another brand quite similar in offerings. The brand, for which maximum number of respondents felt there are not many similar offerings, would get maximum points. In another question on differentiation, we laid down the various characteristics of personal care products. The characteristics listed were- less skin/eye irritation, fragrance, and moisturizing, gentle and less chemicals. These are important characteristics of a personal care product. These characteristics differentiate one brand from another. The results of the survey are - The figure indicates points.

Page 17: Pbm phase 1

Relevance

Relevance is the actual and perceived importance of the brand to a large consumer market segment. This gauges the personal appropriateness of a brand to consumers and is strongly tied to household penetration (the percentage of households that purchase the brand). For measuring the relevance of Dove, the following questions were asked:- The respondents were asked the brands they would like to associate with. If a consumer would want to associate with a brand, then the brand would be relevant for the consumer. In another question, the respondents were asked a series of questions on why they would purchase a brand. The respondents were asked the following questions:-

From the above survey we can see that Dove is the highest in relevance. This could be because people could associate more with the brand. Also Dove is a popular brand, used from quite long now. It is a quality product at expensive but affordable rate. Moreover, it has wide variety of variants to cater to different consumer preferences. The product is relevant among wide masses because of its quality and constant innovation.

Respondents strongly agree to the fact that dove is a personal care brand.

2. Presentation of findings and

conclusion for laddering method

The responses were received from the respondents was analysed to form an A-C-V chain

where A stands for attributes C stands for consequences and V stands for values. The ACV’S

are organized in the following table where similar values, attributes and consequences have

been grouped together. These helped us reach a definitive conclusion telling us about the

underlying consumer motivations behind buying the product, brand health and how the

product makes the consumer feel.

Page 24: Pbm phase 1

One of the core values was sense of security where the respondents felt cared for by others which was followed by self –assurance where the respondents appreciated themselves for what they were and felt confident about their presence. This was followed by peace of mind which arose from the fact that money was well spent and also was a resultant of better social life. Last but not the least was a sense of achievement where the respondents felt they performed better and more efficiently which lead to their appraisal and promotions which filled them with a sense of pride and achievement.

The consequence which mattered the most was confidence and a spur in the

performance levels both of which are a function each other. It also leads to a feel good factor. Less wrinkling was a surprise find where many respondents felt that since the skin remains hydrated the chances of early wrinkles are minimised.

Moreover the lack of harmful chemicals was an important attribute as many people

thought that in today’s world looking good is very important and large number of face washes, serums, cleansers were available in the market but they are mostly harsh to skin as they contain various harmful chemicals but Dove proves to be a good buy as its gentle to the skin and lacks harmful chemicals and this gives them peace of mind where they don’t have to compromise on the health of the skin to look good. The litmus test ad seemed to be etched in the respondents mind.

Convenience was also rated high on the ladder as people had a busy schedule and

since Dove acts as a moisturizer people don’t have to use a moisturizing lotion separately which saves time, money and bother and washing one’s face with Dove becomes a daily chore and one does not have to take out time to do it .So it’s a complete skin care solution and hence respondents found it value for money inspite of being expensive in comparison to the other soaps.

The respondents also stressed on the refreshing quality of the product and its light

fragrance lifted their moods and made them feel more agreeable and confident about themselves .They felt more agreeable, behaved better and carried with themselves a positive aura which made their social life scintillating which gave them peace of mind and also boosted their productivity. They felt more secure which is a function of being liked accepted and a sense of belongingness prevailed.

Packaging elevated their mood and senses and soothed their eyes as the colours

white and green represent tranquillity.

The four values are classified into higher level values as follows:-

SOCIAL VALUES Is associated with how a person is accepted in his peer group and his standing in the society.

Security This is a function of how well accepted a person is in a group. Belongingness fills a person with a sense of security. Social acceptance is a function of a variety of factors amongst which ability to get along with others which comes from being agreeable and confidence ranks very high. Moreover a pleasant countenance helps matters. One feels sung and cosy when cared by others which lead to increase in productivity.

Page 26: Pbm phase 1

Sense of achievement This is a social value .When we see ourselves better off than others monetarily we feel good and we feel we have achieved in life it is a boost to our self esteem.

Personal values Is associated with being comfortable of oneself and accepting oneself for what they are. They are related to one’s expectations of oneself.

Peace of mind We feel good about ourselves and when we are appreciated by others we attain peace of mind. We feel we could meet the standards we had set for us which gives us peace of mind.

Self assured When we feel more confident and beautiful we are more assured of our presence which comes from a having a better image of oneself in one’s eyes as well as eyes of others. From the ladder frequencies for attribute- value linkage, the results are as follows: Social- 4 respondents i.e. 40% respondents Personal- 6 respondents i.e. 60% respondents Thus we can conclude that this brand is more concerned with people for whom personal values play a very important role.

2) Developing Advertising Strategy:

Means- Ends Conceptualisation of Components of Advertising Strategy: Driving force

The brand needs to orient itself more towards personal values like peace of mind and self assurance. It MUST make people feel good about them and not crave for an unattainable hourglass figure and looks. It should aim at accepting oneself the way one is. The advertisement should aim at how a person should aim at accepting oneself the way he is and making him realise that “self esteem “is very essential as you can’t be accepted by the society when you don’t accept yourself for the person you are.

Page 27: Pbm phase 1

Leverage point

Self assurance or self esteem should be reinforced as that is the value to which most respondents connect.

Excecutional framework

Since the product is perceived to be a value for money product the ads should stress as how the products are multipurpose .For example the soap acts as both a moisturizer and a cleanser without the harmful properties of soap. Hence the multipurpose use of the products should be reinforced.

Consumer benefit

The main consumer benefit as derived from our research is the feel good factor which is again a combination of various factors like confidence, better social life, healthy and less wrinkly skin. But confidence is a clear winner and the ad should stress upon the boost in confidence levels when Dove is used.

Message elements What emerges from the Hierarchical Value Model is the importance of confidence in the four major values-Self assurance, peace of mind, sense of achievement and security. The product attributes which leads to the consequence of Confidence are gentleness, absence of harmful chemicals and moisturising property. These product attributes need to be highlighted in the advertisements to induce the need for confidence among the viewers.
