Strategic Brand Positioning Statement

“Tradition is like a huge tree. It is a living organism. We should

not hesitate to trim the dead branches...

But we must not cut the trunk, for then we would lose our soul and our

identity!”

The Crabtree & Evelyn brand.

The business opportunity.

The Personal Care market is dominated by P&G type global conglomerates. Since the 1950’s the emphasis placed on rational product benefits by the marketing system of P&G has eroded the personal and caring nature of “personal care.”

Niche retailers have begun to exploit the opportunities left to them by the big conglomerates.

But no retailer or manufacturer has taken a holistic view of the consumer and created a brand that reflects the kind of needs and desires of the new generation of consumers.

Today’s consumer, a more sophisticated woman who cares about her life and those around her, is looking for a more enriched version of “personal care.” A care that is truly personal.

The Crabtree & Evelyn consumer.

She cares for her physical, mental and emotional well-being.

It is an idea that is borne out of the past at Crabtree & Evelyn and is relevant to the future.

It is also a challenge: an idea for the company to live up to. In so doing, we believe that the consumer will look up to Crabtree & Evelyn.
