PZ Cussons, makers of Morning Fresh, a leading dishwashing liquid has launched a new consumer promotion targeted at creating more affinity between the brand and Nigerian consumers. The promotion tagged “Morning Fresh Kitchen Makeover” was unveiled to the delight of consumers and distributors in Lagos recently.
Speaking at the unveiling, the PZ Cussons’ Managing Director for Family Care, Mr. Alex Goma said the decision to launch out a new promo for Morning Fresh is borne out of the desire to continue to cement existing relationship with consumers despite the difficult challenge of the time.. He admitted that even though there are economic challenges, the company remains committed to innovation in order to satisfy the need of its dynamic consumers.
Despite the fact that the operating business environment in Nigeria is quite unfriendly, the managing director believe that the only way out of such situation is to continuously maintain and build good relationship with the consumers.
“The situation in the country and indeed global may not be very friendly but the most important thing is maintaining and building relationship with consumers. Tough time will come, tough time will go.
If you don’t invest in keeping that relationship active, when the good time comes, consumers would remember that you did not know them when times were tough,” Goma asserted.
According to him “for us, it is about doing the right thing and finding the balance of what is it that we can give back to the consumer. Consumers are always looking for a breakthrough. I think buying something for N300 and having the opportunity to win N1million worth of kitchen utensils and appliances is something consumers would
Find appealing. This is because he/she gets the benefits of using the products, and winning something at the same time.” For us, it is a way of giving back and building the brand, Goma said
