Clever Strategies To Market Talcum Powder - Part Two
Beauty care companies may have looked to expand their sales of talcum powder to several untapped markets
Thursday, February 8, 2024 - To effectively broaden market reach and appeal, health and beauty care companies wanting to sell talcum powder found it imperative to target African Americans and several other key demographic groups, and thousands of women who developed cancer have filed talcum powder lawsuits as a result. Women targeted with advertising include overweight women, women who engage in regular exercise, commuters, and women residing in hotter climates. To tailor marketing efforts towards African American audiences, a multi-faceted approach was considered that would entail running a test radio program on highly African American (AA) stations, ensuring that advertising messages are culturally relevant and resonate with this demographic. Additionally, online promotion and advertising on African American websites, including those focused on AA dating, can significantly enhance brand visibility and engagement within the community. African American social media influencers were also targeted to promote talcum powder brands. In addition, companies gave out free scratch and sniff powder brochures directly to target audiences and found this to be an effective strategy. For overweight women, distributing brochures through Lane Bryant catalog mailings or within Weight Watchers programs seems to have provided direct access to individuals seeking solutions for their personal hygiene, health care, and well-being. Similarly, targeting women who are actively seeking to lose weight through exercise, by distributing brochures at gyms, fitness centers, and athletic events capitalizes on their active lifestyle and interest in personal care products.
Commuters, as a demographic, are a captive audience with constrained time for conventional advertising techniques. Employing strategies like billboard displays strategically placed at bus stops or train stations can successfully engage this audience during their daily commute, seizing their attention during periods of idle moments. The demographic of commuters, individuals who regularly travel between locations for work or other commitments, presents a unique opportunity for advertisers. With limited time available while commuting, these individuals are often seeking ways to optimize their time and may be more receptive to advertising messages delivered during their journeys. By utilizing billboard displays strategically positioned at key transit hubs such as bus stops or train stations, advertisers can effectively capture the attention of commuters as they travel to and from their destinations. These billboards offer a prime advertising space that allows brands to communicate their message to a captive audience during moments of downtime, such as waiting for transportation or during brief pauses in their commute.
Moreover, women residing in hotter climates have unique needs and concerns regarding personal hygiene and skincare. Using talcum powder for feminine hygiene may result in developing talcum powder ovarian cancer. Tailoring advertising messages to highlight the cooling and refreshing properties of powder products can resonate with this demographic, offering relief from the discomfort of excessive sweating and heat-related issues. Testing the placement of powder brochures in toddler co-op programs can effectively reach toddler moms with targeted messaging about powder usage for both themselves and their children. Emphasizing the benefits of powder for preventing chafing, irritation, and sand removal can appeal to mothers seeking practical solutions for their family's skincare needs, thus establishing brand trust and loyalty. By strategically targeting African Americans and other key demographic groups through a variety of channels such as radio programs, online advertising, direct mailings, and targeted distribution in toddler co-op programs, brands can effectively engage with diverse consumer segments and drive awareness and sales of powder products.
