Traditionally, female shave products are merchandised next to their male
counterparts. The purchase drivers for women are of course subtly different
from their swarthy masculine counterparts. Webb deVlam were asked to create a new
Female Shaving category to communicate a more sensitive positioning and to
highlight the Venus razor and Satin Care products. All this needed to be considered
as a category initiative not overly dominated by one brand. Making the right design
choices of course relies on understanding how to provide maximum retailer benefits
alongside creating the consumer desire for the products themselves.
