Gillette
Caso: El lanzamiento de Gillette Sensor:

Problemática:

Gillette está evaluando un lanzamiento para su último producto que la hará posicionarse de ser una empresa internacional, con una gestión del negocio adaptada a cada uno de los diferentes mercados locales, a convertirse en una empresa global que consiga tener éxito lanzando un producto estandarizado que apuntale su liderazgo y potencie su imagen de marca.

Análisis 4 p´s:

* Producto: La maquinilla Sensor de Gillette se enmarcaba dentro del segmento de maquinillas de cuchillas recambiables, estas maquillas junto con las desechables, formaban la categoría de afeitado “húmedo”. Por otro lado el mercado se completaba con las maquinillas eléctricas como categoría de afeitado en “seco”.
El desarrollo de Sensor bajo el nombre de proyecto Flag tuvo una duración de 10 años, debido a la cantidad de innovaciones en alta tecnología que incorporaba y a la necesidad de encontrar soluciones que permitieran su producción en serie, que se realizaría en dos fábricas, una en Boston y otra en Berlín. * Precio: Aunque la maquinilla Sensor no marcaría un tope en el mercado, los 3,75$ por maquinilla y 0,75$ por recambio en norteamérica, permitían a Gillette mantener la imagen de prestigio que buscaba. Estos precios permitían un margen por cuchilla de un 40%, un 15% mayor que la maquinilla Atra y el doble que las desechables. El equipo de lanzamiento estaba convencido de que, aunque el segmento de desechables más asequibles estaba ganando cuota de mercado sobre las recargables, el público objetivo premiaría la propuesta de valor de Sensor a pesar de su posicionamiento de alto precio. * Distribución: Gillette era y es una de las marcas más reconocibles a nivel global gracias a su carácter internacional y su presencia en la distribución minorista de gran consumo de la mayoría de mercados. En lo que difería la apuesta de Gillette Sensor era en el lanzamiento global simultáneo que se estaba planeando, en lugar

    Gillette dominates 70% of global razor market; their strategy is to keep on producing new products, developing new innovations, and remaining as the market leader in men’s grooming market. Gillette introduced its first razor in 1903; by 1971, they invented Trac II “the world’s first two-blade razor”. Comparing to the original one-bladed razor, the two blades work better. Then they came out with Altra, the razor with a pivoting head, in 1977. The Sensor came out soon after with spring-loaded blades; the spring-mounted blades allow the razor to adjust to the contours of user’s face. The SensorExcel was the first razor to include microfins on the cartridge head; the microfins give users a closer, more comfortable shave. This was the start of many new technological inventions that Gillette is producing. Most of these early inventions are more for the disposable usage because the design and features are simpler; the price is also more affordable.…

    Gillette is moving into a new market with a large advertising budget and a strong distribution chain. I expect sales in the first year to reach 3.495 million units, or roughly $3.39 million. This would represent a 15% market share of the standard quality market. With a projected market growth rate of 30% each year and an annual advertising budget of $1.2 million, sales figures are expected to grow to 23.96 million units ($23.24 million) in year five. This figure will represent a 36% market share.…

    How you ever noticed how many Mythological places or figures are used in the names or logos of companies today? Although many people don't believe in the Greek and Roman gods, they are very famous, or sometimes infamous, because of their fascinating stories. Many business owners use mythological figures to help portray their company's product or service. Gillette Venus, for example, bases their name off of the Roman goddess Venus, also known as the Greek god Aphrodite.…

    Newman’s article discusses the advertising and marketing angles taken by Gillette, the razor company. In 2001, Gillette launched their three-blade Venus razor (Newman, 2008). Over the years, Gillette has improved upon the original three-blade Venus, and in 2008 launched the Gillette Venus Embrace (Newman, 2008). The Venus Embrace was the first five-blade razor for women, and launched the largest advertising campaign on the female side of the razor business in seven years (Newman, 2008).…

    In 1970 Gillette Razors was dominating the manufacturing and distribution of men’s and women’s razors, blades and other toiletries. Their distribution to 500,000 retail outlets in the US and the strong relationships of their sales team with chain retailers and wholesale distributors made them well-positioned to enter the emerging market of blank cassettes.…

    Currently, Gillette’s operating segments include personal grooming, small appliances, and oral care products, and the portable power segment. In the portable power segment, Duracell’s major competitors consist of Energizer and Rayovac while new and emerging ones included Sony, Kodak, Panasonic, and other private label brands. The collective entrance of these competitors in the 1990s is the primary reasons for Gillette’s lack of success in the battery industry, discussed below.…

    1. What are your decisions about the quality level(s), prices and advertising expenditures to offer for blank cassettes? Because a 60 minute tape is the standard in the industry I decided to use that length for the tape. After calculating the three different quality options I found that it makes most sense to enter the market with a standard quality blank tape; to be sold at a retail value of $1.95 ($0.98 sales price to the retailer). This is if I accept the advertising budget from our advertising agency of $2 million in the first year and $1.2 million for each subsequent year and $500 thousand in overhead. This is also assuming that the market share will be divided at 50% for budget, 35% for standard, and 15% for professional.…

    It may appear that Gillette shareholders are getting a good deal; however, they could be getting a better deal. Gillette should receive closer to $60/share, and while an offer of $54.05 is a deal that is not as good as it could be, it is better than no deal at all. Using transaction multiples, we see that Gillette is being valued well above the market in valuations involving revenues, EBITDA and P/E multiples. Also, large benefits come to shareholders in the method of acquisition. Although it is an all-stock deal, shareholders are receiving a nearly 1-for-1 ratio of trade for the shares. However, P&G agreed to begin repurchasing stock over an 18 month period. Thus, shareholders are provided with a tax-free transaction or the opportunity to continue to be involved in the future of Gillette and P&G. That being said, one method of valuation using precedent transactions shows that P&G’s premium offer over Gillette’s share price is well below historical averages. With only a 20.1% premium compared to a ~50% premium from precedent transaction, it seems that Gillette shareholders should be looking for a higher premium. Also, a discounted cash flow of Gillette on a standalone basis values Gillette at $47.10 which is more than its current stock price, so when P&G offers a 20% premium on the $45 stock price, it really is only offering a ~15% premium on its projected value. Gillette shareholders are not receiving as much as they could, mostly due to the under valuing of the merger synergies.…
