  5. Brand Evolution Timeline 1967 1984 1990 2006 2011 MarkSoc,The Marketing Society of FMS, Delhi

  6. In the late 80's and early 90's, songs such as "Closer You and I" by Gino Padilla and "Just A Smile Away" by Jaime Garchitorena are used as commercial jingles for Close Up. • However, the one jingle that made it big was the “KyaAap Close Up kartehain” one which was released around 2005. • Over the years, Close Up have stuck to the same logo which portrays the freshness in its classic Eros Red flavour.

  7. Close Up had a usual plastic packaging for its products till the Lemon Mint flavour came out in 2002 which was rolled out in transparent tubes. In 2005, Close Up Active Gel was launched with a metallic tube and stand up cap. They also flirted with the idea of triangular packages to reduce shelf areas, but it did not stick well. • Close Up was the first toothpaste which promised an odourless, fresh breath. • Apart from that, they always came out with new and improved flavours which were a runaway hit. • Their Lemon Mint flavour was marketed brilliantly with the all-time best jingle “KyaAap Close Up kartehain”.

  8. The most famous variants of Close Up are the following : • Red Hot • Eucalyptus Mint • Menthol Fresh • Fire Freeze Product Portfolio

  9. Close Up always positioned itself as a toothpaste which gives odourless freshness and confidence in “up close and personal situations”. • It differentiated itself from the other toothpastes who promised anti-cavity action, by proclaiming that it would give them confidence during personal interactions. Positioning MarkSoc,The Marketing Society of FMS, Delhi

  10. Close Up markets itself as a toothpaste which imparts freshness and instils confidence in their customers. • It promotes itself by saying that it provides “confidence and freshness during personal moments”, and targets mostly the youth of the nation. • All of their brand endorsers have been young people like they featured DeepikaPadukone in one of their most brand campaigns. Target Market MarkSoc,The Marketing Society of FMS, Delhi

  11. Close Up has always been knows for its innovative flavours and packaging. It was the first toothpaste to introduce a transparent plastic dispenser, which was followed by its rivals later. • To market Close Up active, they had introduced metallic tubes with a stand-up cap. They had tried out triangular packages to reduce shelf area, which was a novel idea. Packaging MarkSoc,The Marketing Society of FMS, Delhi

  12. The toothpaste is available in the market at very affordable prices. The 150 gm packages come at around 75-85 rupees while the 80gm packs come for 35-45 rupees. • The classic Eros Red Close Up comes for the cheapest. However, newer flavours like Fire Freeze and Lemon Mint are available at the higher end of the price range. • The prices of Close Up are comparable to its closest competitor in the market, Colgate. Although Colgate’s base product is cheaper than Close Up, the higher priced products are similarly priced. Pricing MarkSoc,The Marketing Society of FMS, Delhi

  13. Close Up is one of the earliest players in the toothpaste market. • It is an HUL product which is available across the country – whether be it in rural areas, hypermarkets or even on online shopping sites. It generally utilises the channel of selling through intermediaries. It is normally sold through retailers/supermarkets, but is now available at online shopping sites. • It spends a lot on its promotions and comes out with new flavours every once in a while, and occupies a large shelf space, greatly increasing its visibility.

  15. StoryBoard of one of the more recent advertisements Sleepy and drowsy, a woman enters her bathroom Just then an animated tube of Close-up toothpaste jumps before her singing, "Nayaaa, nayaaaa..." Waking up from her groggy state, she stares with curious wonder at the toothpaste and soon bursts out laughing at it's antics. This advertisement was targeting students and office goers as to how Close Up helps you when you appear groggy in the morning and sets your pace for the day. Eager to spell out the benefits of the toothpaste, it thrusts out it's heart, and sings, "Jisme vitamin floridebhartehain." Having got her attention, the toothpaste carries on with it's song, "KyaaapnayaClose-Up kartehain?" MarkSoc,The Marketing Society of FMS, Delhi

  16. StoryBoard of one of the recent advertisements Checking out the strength of the woman's teeth it drums on them and gives yet another reason to try Close-Up, "Dantmazbootbajtehain." "Jissepeeledantdamaktehain", it  croons, simultaneously rubbing and testing the whiteness of the amused lady's teeth. Continuing in the same strain it adds, "Ussetaazisansechalaktehain" and gets blown over by it's admirer's fresh breath. Giving it's stamp of approval it complements her, "Aha, lagtahai,,roznaya Close-Up... ...kartehain." MVO: "Vitamin floride system walanayaClose-Up." MarkSoc,The Marketing Society of FMS, Delhi

  17. We would suggest a brand extension to come up with a range of Close Up Mouthwashes. • The mouthwash and oral care gum market has been upcoming. In addition to this, Colgate, its major rival, has their range of mouthwash under the name Colgate Plax, which is doing very well. This would try to cut into the profits of Colgate Plax. • Also, mouthwash and toothpaste are complementary products and it would not take a lot of effort to market them. Recommendation- Line / Brand Extension Suggestion Reason for Recommendation MarkSoc,The Marketing Society of FMS, Delhi

  18. Product : Close Up mouthwashes, in multiple flavours to ensure their daily usage after using Close Up toothpaste. • Price : The product has to be competitively priced against Colgate Plax, maybe a few rupees lower to attract customers. • Place : The product will be available at all kirana, retail and hypermarket stores. • Promotion : Sample sizes of the range of products can initially be distributed with the toothpastes free of cost. The mouthwashes can come in special flavours for children so as to capture that market, and try to ensure that they go for Close Up toothpastes too. • We will be looking at all the segments, laying special attention to the sectors where Close Up is not very popular. This will be an attempt to shift those customers into using Close Up toothpastes. The product will be positioned as a necessary part of your daily routine, which when used with Close Up toothpastes guarantees 24 hour protection.
