2. Due to the diversification of demands of consumers nowadays, characteristics of
products in all categories(hair care, body care and face care) accordingly have
been diversified to be distinctive and achieve the needs. For example, "LUX =
luxury, sophisticated" and "Mod's Hair = styling, teens." Moreover, some studies
prove that consumers tend to have some hair care products and select to use
depending on feeling or situation. Considering these issues, it can be seen the
trend that toiletry products is shifting into cosmetic products. Since face care
and body care products have diversity in characteristics as well as hair care
products, we can easily assume that the habit to have some products andchoose
to use according to occasion will spread among consumers.
Our strategy is making consumers consider to have Dove as one of products they
have to provide "Uruoi" by promoting the "Uruoi" brand image and educating
benefits of having some products in all categories to choose proper product to
use according to hair condition or situation.

Example of diversification in needs
Factor to purchase shampoo (ratio)We define that the diversification of
consumer needs is one of the strongest
factor that makes the situation; some
consumers do not use Dove product in all
categories. According to Sophialinks, a
consultancy company specialized for
Japanese cosmetic market, demands for
hair care products have been diversified
historically and various types of products
have been released to attract consumers.
This trend can be seen in every category:
hair, face and body care. In figure 1, even
“Uruoi” is considered as the most
important factor, there is the fact that
from Dentsu Marketing insight
Figure 1
that some people prefer other
factors more. In conclusion,
due to the diversity in
demands, some people think
to purchase other products.

Toiletry to Cosmetic Assignment 2
Make a proposal to make consumers think
to use Dove in all categories
Considering all analyses, we determined a
proposal to achieve the goal. "Happiness in bath
time" According to Dove's research, even
approximately 60 % of women would like to enrich
their bath time, most of them do not come up with
any idea. Our proposal provides a woman with
more satisfaction in bath time.
Nowadays, consumers have various preferences
on for toiletry products. We are planning to
promote the benefits of possession of a plurality
of products and make Dove as one of products
that they have to provide “Uruoi” in every category.
This can achieve various needs of women. What is
more, by focusing on impulse buying, customer
satisfaction tend to be higher. Through these 2
points, we can satisfy women.
In toiletry market, various kinds of products
that have different features have been
produced to meet the diversifying consumer
demands.
・Examples of diversified consumer needs
Uruoi, Clarifying, Voluminzing, Damage caring,
Natural ingredients, Bubble, Price, Design and
more.
In hair care category, a trend can be seen that
consumers have various products to choose
the most suitable one for a day according to
his or her feeling, hair condition or situation.
Furthermore, in both of face and body care
categories, people also tend to have products
just for them, not sharing with family. It can be
said that feature of both toiletry products and
its market is shifting into like-cosmetic. LUSH
and BODY SHOP are given as noticeable
examples of that trend.
