Marketing strategy of Vivel Di Wills through marketing mix framework which covers the 4Ps (Product, Price, Place, Promotion).
Vivel Di Wills Product Strategy:
Vivel Di Wills is a leading skincare product from the house of FMCG giant ITC in India. ITC in a way was flooding the personal care market to beat the competitors since it was a late entrant. Vivel Di Wills was launched in close succession with Fiama Di Wills and two brands- Vivel and Superia- were launched in succession with Vivel Di Wills. While Fiama Di Wills was a brand for the upper class women, Vivel Di Wills was for the urban middle class women who are ready to flirt with new brands. Vivel Di Wills comes in two variants: Sheer Radiance and Sheer Crème. Sheer Radiance contains Olive Oil while Sheer Crème contains Shea Butter and there are a total of 9 variants of the brand including others. The brand is cashing in on the ingredients like Olive Oil, Active Clay, etc. which gives it a unique healthy natural perception. The wide variety highlights the product portfolio marketing mix strategy of ITC to capture the skincare market. Although it has well established market players as its competitors like Lux, Lifebuoy and Nirma, it has been growing at a rate faster than its competitors. The presence of strong contenders though increases the threat of substitution by the consumers.
