10. Benefit Positioning vs. Brand Map for
Petroleum Jelly in the Philippines
ph.linkedin.com/in/ayosulit
11. 4. The gap between customers and
competition
Where is the marketing opportunity?
- Vaseline Petroleum Jelly is not limited for female or baby use
only, even Men can benefit from the skin healing, protecting
and rejuvenating qualities of VPJ.
What NWDs are not being addressed?
- One thing that can be addressed is the versatility of the VPJ as
a complete skin care product. Also, VPJ can be heavily used
for sports (cuts/bruises/wounds) and intimate activities as
well.
What can be the unique selling proposition for the new
product?
- “Your complete, all-in-one skin care you can bring
anywhere!”
