Society/Culture Gillette suggests most of its customers are sexist, predatory, bullies. Good idea?

Hiring a feminazi idealogue to head marketing, what could possibly go wrong!
Every company has lost money in grooming products. But you know let's ignore that and spit out the same troll lines like always. Never change copyright infringement.

Cincinnati-based P&G, which operates in 80 countries, sells Gillette razors, gels and foams worldwide and said the writedown was due primarily to currency fluctuations - enduring strength in the U.S. economy in recent years has strengthened the dollar. The charge was also driven by more competition over the past three years and a shrinking market for blades and razors as consumers in developed markets shave less frequently. Net sales in the grooming business, which includes Gillette, have declined in 11 out of the last 12 quarters.​
P&G paid $57 billion in 2005 for Gillette, the world’s No.1 shaving brand that is more than a century old. But in the 2010s technology altered the way consumers purchased razors, and relaxed social norms prompted men to shave less often, according to a Euromonitor report. In the past 5 years, the U.S. men’s market for shaving products has shrunk by over 11%, the data firm said.​

Read an article. It's accumulated losses from the downturn in men shaving. All stats back this up. Schick's owner had a similar problem.

I see facts, all you see is a chance to troll with someone else's outdated material

Just the fifth post in the thread, little guys:

Women don't buy razors for men. Men buy razors and use them until they're rusty and shredding our face. Then we go and get whatever brand it is we already got the handle for.

They're getting destroyed by cheaper shaving alternatives, like subscription clubs. This is an attempt to look modern.

:cool:

Yeah you do.

I don't know where they are. Do you know if it increased the loss or decreased the loss?

Its a book write down of $8 billion on the Gillette brand.

The campaign harmed their brand amongst the loyal users of Gillette. Those men still using shaving products. The target audience of the virtue signalling were women and young hipsters. The women are a minor part of the Gillette sales and the hipsters don't shave

I'm regularly impressed by how stupid you lot are.

It was a write down by the parent company, it has zero to do with the ad. Dollar shavers club has smashed their bottom line regardless.
I'm impressed that you're too stupid to work out the connection between the two. If your experiencing current reduced demand and thus reduced revenue/profitability in your industry, it is not wise to go out and attack a majority of your consumer base and put them off getting your stuff.
