Covid-19 restrictions have accelerated the trend towards declining deodorant use. The more relaxed
approach towards personal grooming routines has been particularly noticeable among the young,
which is likely a result of going out less. Consumers spending more time at home, and exercise routines
split across the day, has also meant it is easier to jump in the shower to wash, as opposed to using a
deodorant.

2. TARGET AUDIENCE AND THEIR PROBLEMS (75 words)


Target audience for this brand is both men in the age group of 15-40. Worry over the use of
chemicals in deodorants is also deterring usage among consumers and deodorant users are more
interested in buying deodorants formulated with natural ingredients. Consumer perceptions about
deodorants being harsh on skin and causing allergies, are also the issues that affect sales.

The challenge here is to change the perspective how people view Axe deodorants. Rather than
being viewed as a strong scented body deo only for men, it should be seen as a classic body spray
for all categories.
Another challenge is, use of chemicals in the product. Axe should be more exclusive and let people
know what are the constituents of its product.
6. CONSUMER INSIGHT (50 words)
Sweat is essentially odourless until bacteria ferment it, which is when people reach for deodorant or
antiperspirants. These are more than scented sticks or sprays and serve different purposes
