PAGE 6 PAGE 9 EXCLUSIVE P&G’s McDonald Out to Cover Globe By MOLLY PRIOR and ANDREA NAGEL BOB MCDONALD WANTS seven billion customers. As the leader of the multibillion-dollar consumer FRIDAY, AUGUST 12, 2011 ■ $3.00 ■ WOMEN’S WEAR DAILY products giant Procter & Gamble Co., McDonald has the world within his reach. And his goal is as im- WWD mense and vast as P&G’s $82.56 billion global busi- ness: Convert every person on the planet into a cus- tomer, and get every one of the fi rm’s categories into every country. His sights are set on the developing world, where razors and shampoo are not commodities but aspi- rational luxuries. “There’s no question that 30 years from now, when people look back at this moment in time they are going to ask, ‘Did the [P&G] leadership team prop- erly move the center of gravity of the company more toward Asia and Africa where the babies are being born, or in this country to the Hispanic population, or in the Middle East to the Islamic population?” said McDonald, P&G’s chairman, president and chief executive offi cer, during an exclusive interview. He also wants current customers to spend more. “The average American spends roughly $100 on P&G products every year [across 35 product cat- egories in the U.S.]. In China — where we are the number-one consumer goods company and do $5 bil- lion in sales, over half of which is beauty — the av- erage Chinese consumer spends less than $3 a year on P&G products across 15 categories. You can see the tremendous opportunity,” he said. McDonald ultimately sees Chinese customers spending much more per head on P&G products. When it comes to beauty, the company said the average U.S. household spends $270 a year on fe- male beauty products in general across all distri- bution channels, with $66 of that total dedicated to P&G beauty products, and $290 on beauty and SEE PAGE 4 IN WWD TODAY A New Name for Polo PAGE 3 NEWS: Polo Ralph Lauren Corp. is now just Ralph Lauren Corp. to show the group’s expanding number of brands.
