  • Bloomsburg Investment Group
    Bloomsburg Investment Group Equity Analysis The Procter & Gamble Company (PG) Analyst: Gerrick Hardy, Class of 2021 Trevor Luzi, Mackenzie Gross, Class of 2022 Bloomsburg Investment Group Opinion: After our group's thorough analysis, we believe it is in the best interest of the group if our holding in Procter & Gamble (PG) is partially liquidated. Although our group remains bullish about the company, we think taking some profits from PG's recent run-up and allocating funds elsewhere in the sector would be most beneficial. While the company has provided strong organic growth in each of the two previous quarters, a number of headwinds remain in the way which will likely restrict future growth. A stronger U.S. Dollar has essentially offset the organic revenue growth, and the rise in transportation costs and commodity prices has and will likely continue to squeeze the margins of PG. With consumer tastes trending towards less expensive generic brands, customers may not respond favorably to recent price increases of some of Procter & Gamble’s largest brands. Our sector believes PG is currently trading at a premium that will not be satisfied with future growth. Despite all of this, we are still bullish because of the high dividend yield that the company has increased for 62 consecutive years, wide array of brand offerings, and brand loyalty and recognition, among other factors. Considering cross-current risks that exist in the macroeconomic environment and the potential of an upcoming recession or economic downturn, Procter & Gamble will continue to provide stable growth and hedge our portfolio. Corporate Summary: Corporate Details: Name Procter & Gamble Co The Procter & Gamble Company, founded in 1837, is Ticker PG a global manufacturer and distributor of household Domicile United States goods.

  • Second Time Moms & the Truth About Parenting
    Second Time Moms & The Truth About Parenting Summary Why does our case deserve an award? In the US, and globally, every diaper brand obsesses about the emotion and joy experienced by new parents. Luvs took the brave decision to focus exclusively on an audience that nobody was talking to: second time moms. Planning made Luvs the official diaper brand of experienced moms. The depth of insights Planning uncovered about this target led to creative work that did a very rare thing for the diaper category: it was funny, entertaining and sparked a record amount of debate. For the first time these moms felt that someone was finally standing up for them and Luvs was applauded for not being afraid to show motherhood in a more realistic way. And in doing so, we achieved the highest volume and value sales in the brand’s history. 2 Luvs: A Challenger Facing A Challenge Luvs is a value priced diaper brand that ranks a distant fourth in terms of value share within the US diaper category at 8.9%. Pampers and Huggies are both premium priced diapers that make up most of the category, with value share at 31, and 41 respectively. Private Label is the third biggest player with 19% value share. We needed to generate awareness to drive trial for Luvs in order to grow the brand, but a few things stood in our way. Low Share Of Voice Huggies spends $54 million on advertising and Pampers spends $48 million. In comparison, Luvs spends only $9 million in media support. So the two dominant diaper brands outspend us 9 to 1, making our goal of increased awareness very challenging.

  • Crown Crafts Expands Its Reach with a Known and Trusted Parenting Brand
    October 27, 2009 Crown Crafts Expands Its Reach With a Known and Trusted Parenting Brand GONZALES, La., Oct. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Crown Crafts, Inc. (the "Company") (Nasdaq: CRWS) today announced it has entered into a licensing agreement with The Procter & Gamble Company ("P&G") (NYSE: PG). Under the agreement, Crown Crafts will develop, produce, market and sell an assortment of infant products under the Pampers®( )brand name. Such products will include infant bedding, blankets, bibs, bath goods and slings, and will be developed by Crown Crafts Infant Products, Inc. and Hamco, Inc., wholly- owned subsidiaries of the Company. The Company anticipates that these products will be available for distribution to retailers in the spring of 2010. The disposable diapers developed by P&G under the Pampers® brand were introduced in 1961 and revolutionized infant care by providing a convenient alternative to cloth diapers. Pampers® has evolved into one of P&G's most loved and trusted brands. "We are proud to sign this license and to have the opportunity to partner with such a well- respected, innovative and admired company," commented E. Randall Chestnut, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "This partnership is a continuation of our efforts to offer differentiated products and to further access the infant products market," Mr. Chestnut continued. "More and more, Pampers is evolving from a diaper brand to a true parenting company with products, resources and services to help parents care for the happy, healthy development of their children," commented Patrick Kraus, Marketing Director, North America Pampers. "Since the Pampers brand is a true 'trustmark' and symbol of quality for consumers, we are very careful about only partnering with companies that share our values and emphasis on quality, innovation and integrity.

  • 2.2.9. Procter & Gamble
    1 Dirty recyclables of a Procter & Gamble brand Credit: Les Stone P&G has made no commitments regarding collection, and neither calls for legislation in this area nor mentions support for DRS. It high- lights different targets on its US environmental sustainability webpage6 than on its UK equivalent.7 At the time of writing, there was no reference to the development of reuse-and-refill delivery models for P&G products on their UK site;8 on its US site, however, the company highlights its 2019 participation in test programmes with TerraCycle’s Loop project in New York and Paris,9 in which its brands Pantene, Gillette and Venus were included.10 When it comes to reduction of virgin-plastic use, P&G states alternative materials will only be used ‘when it makes sense’, and that lightweighting, increasing recycled content and moving towards more concentrated products will take priority.11 However, this does not appear to involve an absolute reduction in the total number of single-use plastic-packaging units. It is also unclear what instances the company will consider using alternative materials in, and which types of materials. In another document on the company’s brand criteria for 2030, it states it will achieve ‘a meaningful increase in responsibly-sourced bio-based, or recycled or more resource efficient materi- als’;12 however, this commitment is nebulous because it does not include an actual target, timeframe or more detail on what ‘responsi- bly-sourced’ means. When it comes to minimum recycled content, P&G talks about ‘continuously innovating with recycled plastic’,13 and, according to As You Sow, has a recycled-content target of 8% for 2025.14 This is a very modest increase – from 6.3% in 2018.

  • A Case Study of Pampers Brand of Proctor and Gamble Pakistan
    International Journal of Experiential Learning & Case Studies 5 : 1 ( June 2020) pp. 122-134. dx.doi.org/10.22555/ijelcs.v5i1.3023 Local players giving a run for the share to a global giant: A case study of Pampers brand of Proctor and Gamble Pakistan Syed Waqas Hussain*, Jawaid Qureshi**, Muhammad Mubeen, Zaeema Asrar**** Abstract Pakistan is a densely populated country with a population of around 200 million people with an annual birth rate of 29.8 births/1000 people that approximates to around 13 million babies per year with a majority of births in tier three and four socio-economic classes (Geoba, 2017). Based on marvelous demand and con- sumption patterns, the market for diapers seemed ever-increasing. This instru- mental single case-based study addressed the concerns regarding the competitive- ness of Pampers with other diaper brands. It undertook eight interviews with industry experts till saturation point and availed thematic analysis techniques to categorize themes pertinent to core issues. Pampers is an expensive brand, primarily due to its higher cost of importing and local value additions. Despite being a global giant in the diaper industry and having the first-mover advan- tage in Pakistan, the company is continuously losing its value and volume share against much cheaper local players since 2013. The case addressed shortcomings of Pampers Pakistan that were needed to be addressed and strategic branding and marketing decisions that were likely to regain its market share. Their marketing strategists realized revisiting its procurement plans, pricing strategies and dis- tribution strategies, and brand management on an urgent basis to maintain its sustainable competitive advantage.

The foundation of commercial power has shifted from capital resources to intellectual property. In fact, the def- inition of capital resources is shifting. No longer does the term capital resource bring to mind balance sheets of cash or pictures of sprawling manufacturing plants. The definition of capital includes intellectual property such as technological know-how, patents, trademarks, copy- rights, and trade secrets. Corporations once dominated industries by acquiring and managing extensive holdings of natural resources and manufacturing facilities. Barriers to entry were high because enormous amounts of fixed asset investments were required to displace well- entrenched players. Today, companies that once dominated industries are finding themselves fighting for survival. Up-start companies are creating new products and services based, not on extensive natural resource holdings or cash hordes, but on intellectual property resources.
