Differentiation Strategy
Differentiation is primarily achieved through a cost-leadership strategy.
The formula is simplified by removing non-essential ingredients like Vitamin E and fragrances, which reduces production costs.
The product is positioned for bulk purchasing by focusing on larger sizes and refill formats, appealing to budget-conscious households and businesses.
Packaging is made from cost-effective and easily recyclable materials with a simple design, signaling a no-frills, functional product.
The marketing message would center on "Just the Essentials," providing a trusted level of cleanliness without the cost of extra features.
Success Replication
Maintains the trusted 62% ethyl alcohol active ingredient, ensuring it meets the fundamental customer expectation of killing germs effectively.
The gel format, which is the most popular form in the market, is also kept for its ease of use and consumer familiarity.
Focuses on large, family, and office-sized packaging with simple dispensers like pumps, which offers the same convenience for high-traffic areas as the reference product.
