Embassy Nol Project Cooper: B&H Brand Equity Check The Summary Report BACKGROUND I Spectacular performance for the Benson & Hedges Special Filter brand in the 1980's turned to slow decline in the early 90's. Loss of share was attributed to a number of factors including a change in smokers' requirements, (influenced by enduring recession and continued pressure from the anti smoking lobby), a move towards cheaper brands and a desire for lower tar cigarettes. In addition, the Benson & Hedges 'Gold' symbolism, so relevant to the 80's was considered to have lost salience in the more politically correct, concerned 90's. Lost ground has not been replaced from traditional pools. Benson & Hedges Special Filter has always had a younger user profile but recent years have seen younger smokers turning to alternative premium brands in preference eg. (Embassy Nol, Regal King size (KS), Silk Cut and Marlboro Lights). Meanwhile those taking up smoking for the first time are less likely to start with the brand. Against this backdrop, drastic action was required to arrest decline. In 1995 Gratis, Benson & Hedges' promotional catalogue loyalty coupon scheme, was launched. Early feedback has been positive. The catalogue is perceived to be better than Imperial's Focus scheme but [still] leaves something to be desired where young smokers are concerned. Colquhoun Associates Page Number 1 Project Cooper: B&H Brand Equity Check The Summary Report The brand received tremendous marketing support concurrent with the launch of Gratis comprising; Advertising; the new press/magazine and poster campaign - 'Midas' Direct marketing activity to specific market sectors ('Leading Edge', 'Autumn Bonus' and 'Winter Warmers') Widespread dem activity accompanying the launch of Lights and Ultra Lights, Group collection schemes (Go for Gratis) Assorted localised promotional activity; club nights etc The launch of Gratis combined with this activity appeared to have arrested decline and market share had levelled off at the time at which research was conducted. Qualitative exploration is now required to evaluate Special Filter's standing in the context of the past year's activity and to assist in future planning and development for the brand towards 2000. In February 1996 Colquhoun Associates was invited to conduct research. This document comprises a summary of their findings, conclusions and recommendations. Colquhoun Associates Page Number 2 Project Cooper: B&H Brand Equity Check The Summary Report CTIVES OWE RESEARCH II The overall objective for this research was; TO EVALUATE SPECIAL FILTER'S STANDING IN THE CONTEXT OF THE PAST YEAR'S ACTIVITY AND THAT PLANNED FOR THE FUTURE Specifically research sought; e to investigate the overall image of Special Filter and its smokers amongst brand loyalists and (main competitor) other brand users n to explore imagery conveyed by the pack, Gratis, the advertising and various other marketing activities recently undertaken, and to understand what each contributes to overall image of the brand n to explore the relative standing of Special Filter compared with the rest of the market (vis premium sector) and its salience, today e to evaluate all of the above to offer guidance on the most appropriate launch activities for Gratis II and ways in which the Company may continue to develop Benson & Hedges image towards 2000. Colquhoun Associates Page Number 3 Project Cooper: B&H Brand Equity Check The Summary Report III METHOD AND S Twelve, qualitative group discussions, listed in summary form on the page opposite, were conducted. Six were 'Groups in Depth' 1 and lasted two and a half hours. The remainder were conducted in the normal way and lasted two hours. Six groups were conducted with female respondents and six with male respondents. A socio-demographic spread spanning BC1C2D was represented across the sample. Fieldwork was conducted at five locations namely Newcastle and Leeds (heartland for Regal King size), Sheffield and Birmingham (heartland for Embassy Nol) and London. All respondents had bought and smoked at least forty cigarettes within the week prior to recruitment. All were 'non rejectors' of the Benson & Hedges brand and all were familiar with the Gratis scheme, prior to the group discussions.' There was a mix across groups of brand preference. Benson & Hedges Special Filter, Regal King size and Embassy Nol were all represented (although not in even proportion). A variety of lifestages and lifestyles were also represented. Respondents ranged in age from 18-50. Younger respondents (18-30) were categorised as either 'settled' or 'unsettled' via their response to an attitudinal and lifestyle battery listed in the recruitment questionnaire (shown in the Appendix 2 to this report). Middle aged respondents (31-40) were specified as 'parents of dependant children' (under 14). Criteria on lifestyle and lifestage were left unspecified in respondent groups with the over 40s. Colquhoun Associates Page Number 4 Project Cooper: B&H Brand Equity Check The Summary Report A range of coupon collecting activity was also represented. Respondents who were 40 or under were categorised as either 'actively collecting' cigarette coupons of their preferred brand, or 'not collecting'. Collecting criteria in the over 40s was left unspecified. Fieldwork was conducted by Kate and Gordon Colquhoun between the 11-21 March 1996. Respondents were paid an incentive of £10/hour to attend group discussions. A recruitment questionnaire and discussion guide is shown in the Appendices to this report. 'Groups in depth' is a technique which allows researchers to explore individual response in a private and confidential way, before convening respondents to group discussions where they are exposed to the normal forces of 'peer pressure' and 'group effect'. During 'Groups in Depth' two moderators work simultaneously conducting two paired, fifteen minute depth interviews each prior to convening all respondents to a normal group discussion lasting two hours. 'Groups in Depth' were recommended for use in some of the groups in this project as it was hypothesized, prior to fieldwork that younger respondents may withhold or alter response to 'coupon collecting behaviour' in a group environment, because it may be perceived to be 'less than hip' behaviour. a Respondents to the two hour group discussions were given a Gratis catalogue during recruitment and asked to read it prior to attending group discussions. Respondents to the two and a half hour groups were asked to read a Gratis catalogue in the fifteen minutes they had to wait either before or after attending fifteen minute depth interview which preceded group discussions. Colquhoun Associates Page Number 5 Project Cooper: B&H Brand Equity Check The Summary Report The problem appears to be as follows; Benson & Hedges traditionally is known for its assured, confident market leader status, its long pedigree of premium quality, it's 'gold standard' benchmark and its discerning, committed, understated, and elegant imagery. Benson & Hedges is not vulgar, does not struggle too hard and traditionally does not have to 'shout' about its leading position, thereby undermining itself by having to do so. The pack maintains and endorses all the traditional brand positives (listed above), as does the brand's ubiquity, popularity, market presence and historic advertising. However, recent activity such as; n New advertising, the Midas campaign o Revised pack and Gratis tear strip n New range extensions (eg. Sovereign, diluting imagery) n Sponsorship in niche areas eg. Ice Hockey n Promotional catalogue activity in very similar vein to Focus e Lost share; cumulatively, could detract in time from traditional strengths by diluting core brand imagery. The Advatioa in Summary The current advertising campaign was rejected by the vast majority of this audience (Loyalists and OBUs alike). Initial feelings of stupidity and ridicule (because they do not understand the executions' either in terms of ACTION, ALLUSION or MESSAGE COMN[UNICATION) convert quickly to brand negatives and rejection, especially upon realisation of the degree to which the messages are submerged.

  • Anthropology of Tobacco
    Anthropology of Tobacco Tobacco has become one of the most widely used and traded commodities on the planet. Reflecting contemporary anthropological interest in material culture studies, Anthropology of Tobacco makes the plant the centre of its own contentious, global story in which, instead of a passive commodity, tobacco becomes a powerful player in a global adventure involving people, corporations and public health. Bringing together a range of perspectives from the social and natural sciences as well as the arts and humanities, Anthropology of Tobacco weaves stories together from a range of historical, cross-cultural and literary sources and empirical research. These combine with contemporary anthropological theories of agency and cross-species relationships to offer fresh perspectives on how an apparently humble plant has progressed to world domination, and the consequences of it having done so. It also considers what needs to happen if, as some public health advocates would have it, we are seriously to imagine ‘a world without tobacco’. This book presents students, scholars and practitioners in anthropology, public health and social policy with unique and multiple perspectives on tobacco-human relations. Andrew Russell is Associate Professor in Anthropology at Durham University, UK, where he is a member of the Anthropology of Health Research Group. His research and teaching spans the sciences, arts and humanities, and mixes both theoretical and applied aspects. He has conducted research in Nepal, the UK and worldwide. Earlier books include The Social Basis of Medicine, which won the British Medical Association’s student textbook of the year award in 2010, and a number of edited volumes, the latest of which (co-edited with Elizabeth Rahman) is The Master Plant: Tobacco in Lowland South America.

  • Validity of Smokers' Information About Present and Past Cigarette Brands Implications for Studies of the Effects of Falling Tar Yields of Cigarettes on Health
    Thorax 1986;41:203-207 Thorax: first published as 10.1136/thx.41.3.203 on 1 March 1986. Downloaded from Validity of smokers' information about present and past cigarette brands implications for studies of the effects of falling tar yields of cigarettes on health HEDLEY PEACH, D SHAH, RW MORRIS From the Department ofCommunity Medicine, United Medical and Dental Schools ofGuy's and St Thomas's Hospitals, London ABSTRACT Four hundred and twenty nine current smokers and ex-smokers who had provided details 12 years previously completed a self administered questionnaire about their present and past smoking habits, and two weeks later current smokers supplied an empty cigarette packet. The tar group and brand name of the current cigarette given on the questionnaire were compared with details on the packet, and the brand alleged to have been smoked 12 years ago was compared with that actually recorded at that time. Only 55% of "low middle" tar cigarettes as indicated by returned packets had been correctly identified in the questionnaire. The brand name was the same in the questionnaire and on the packet in 74% of cases. The recalled brand was confirmed by past records in only 49% of cases. It is concluded that current smokers should be asked to return an empty packet or packets of the cigarette brand or brands usually smoked with a self administered questionnaire and that follow up studies of populations for which brands of cigarette smoked were copyright. previously recorded might be more valid.than studies relying on recall. Several studies have attempted to establish whether ing brands on health may have to collect information over a there is any benefit to cigarette smokers in changing on brands on the basis of recall long period http://thorax.bmj.com/ from a higher to a lower tar brand.

It is of concern to Gallaher that Marlboro KS and Marlboro Lights are doing particularly well amongst the 18-24 age group, whilst Silk Cut has suffered recent losses . In particular, Silk Cut Extra Mild and Silk Cut Ultra Low seem to have had little impact upon young smokers, with very limited numbers smoking them. Research is required to understand the prevailing attitudes of young smokers towards cigarette smoking, and how these along with self perceptions/motivations relate to brand choice.
