Colgate Marketing Campaign enlists Hello Kitty
Colgate is a sub-brand of the Colgate Palmolive Company. It was founded in 1873 and offers a variety of oral hygiene products such as toothpaste, toothbrush, mouthwash as well as dental floss.
How does offering an on pack promo as a marketing campaign help Colgate?
Colgate has cleverly made use of on pack promos to help advertise for their brand. This form of advertising is not only cost effective but extremely efficient in attracting more businesses as well. Although there are many other competitors out in the market that make use of on pack promos as well, Colgate has differentiated themselves by offering collectibles as their gifts. By offering these collectibles, such as Sponge Bob, Hello Kitty and Angry Bird, it would leave a larger impact on the consumers.
Consumers who collect these characters would immediately be attracted to purchase Colgate’s toothpastes in order to add the promo gift to their collection. These consumers would in turn repurchase products from Colgate instead of other brands, in anticipation of the collectibles that Colgate has to offer in future promotions.
Over time, as brand loyalty is cultivated, more and more people would tend to choose Colgate due to their established brand name and this would help to increase sales for the company.
