Introduction:
The ALLSTAR brand is one of the leading manufacturers of packaged goods in the world. The company was started in 1924 and it now consists of a consumer product, an international and a pharmaceutical division.
The pharmaceutical division of the company produces and markets ethical and OTC medicine. Allround is an OTC cold medicine that is produced and marketed by the pharmaceutical division.
Situation Facing the Company:
Allround, currently the market leader of OTC cold and allergy remedy markets, is dealing with competition in the OTC cold market. Brand awareness for Allround is high at 74.1%. However, the retention ratio and sales comprise only 40.4% of the cold medicine market share, representing a 33.7% gap between brand recognition and market share.
