new born grandchild. So he assigned fellow researchers at P&G in Ohio to look
into the practicality of making a better disposable diaper.

⢠Pampers began globalisation(Canada and Japan) in 1971.
⢠Popularity increased.

Pampers.

markets except Italy, as it had not commanded high levels of loyalty within its
consumer baseâ.

28. Comparison
Overall, good use of social media platforms to access target market â share photos, advice and
promote respective charity campaigns
More effective use of social media:
⢠More accessible
⢠Funnier
⢠More memorable
⢠Generally well thought out use of social
media
â˘Have a good basis for social media covering a
number of networks.
â˘BUT have failed to use social media effectively
enough to attract more of an audience and also
mitigate effects of bad press.
â˘Pinterest â very successful, pampers NOT doing
same thing.
29. Recommendations: Pampers
â˘Keep finding novel ways of getting consumers to share photos in order
to get involved with the company directly
â˘Build brand loyalty
â˘Do more competitions
â˘Social influencers- Work with influential âmommy bloggersâ on a regular
basis to manage online reputation
â˘Instagram
â˘Brand searches
30. Recommendations: Huggies
⢠Focus more on specifics of social media marketing
⢠Dedicate time and resources to development of social media networks
and campaigns & show commitment to those campaigns.
⢠Need to differentiate from Pampers, e.g. extend Pinterest to include
childrenâs parties, christenings etc.
⢠Think about how every audience (not exclusively the target audience)
will interpret any campaign
⢠Listen to audience, respond to feedback
⢠Instagram
