CONCLUSIONS
1. The JOHNSON'S Baby Powder franchise is developed to a 37 penetration level
among adult female shaker top users This usage share suggests an opportunity to further increase Brand development among this segment
_ The Brand's high level of conversion among adult females suggests the Brand initiate advertising programs to gain trial among women 18 - 49
The adverse talc publicity of 1975 and 1976 may have changed heavy talcum powder usage patterns as evidenced by a decline in frequency of use for 1976
versus 1973
The major physical attributes of Brand and category users i.e. clean feeling andsmooth skin seem to confirm the end benefits promised in
the Brand's current creative strategy
The growth of StS for 1976 versus 1973 appears to have negatively the JOHNSON'S Baby Powder franchise This is evidenced by 29 of
current StS users previously used JOHNSON'S Baby Powder
impacted
the
Seasonal usage trends seem to indicate increased consumption in the aseasonal
months may be a viable business building opportunity for the Brand Peak season JOHNSON'S Baby Powder users continue product usage in the winter months however frequency of use on an index basis declines almost 50
The 50+ demographic seems to represent a viable business building opportunity
for the Brand This is supported by a well developed shaker top category and
increased JOHNSON'S Baby Powder penetration versus 1973
.
The toddler segment may represent a business building opportunity as evidenced by usage declines after infant years two years old
. The adult female continues to be the primary JOHNSON'S Baby Powder purchaser
which confirms the Brand's support of the adult female strategy This data is consistent with 1973
10. The larger sized products seem to generate increased consumption versus the
smaller sizes which supports the Brand's promotional emphasis on the 14 and 24
ounce size This apparently stems from extended family usage and the psy-
-
chological desire to use more from the larger sized container
11.
The JOHNSON'S Baby Powder occasions of use are primarily after
and on the chest This is consistent with 1973 data and
Brand's visualization of these occasions in copy executions
bath or shower supports the

19. Specific parts of the body receive more powder usage than does the entire body
The chest seems to be the prime area of powder application rather than
the underarms as projected in 1973 which may stem from our current advertising
campaign which visually communicates chest powder application see
