INTRODUCTION
Clorox
Back in1913, five California entrepreneurs invested $100 apiece to set up America's first commercial-scale liquid bleach factory, which they located in Oakland, on the east side of San Francisco Bay. In 1914, they named their product Clorox bleach. In the ensuing years, The Clorox Company as it is now known has grown into a worldwide manufacturer and marketer of consumer products. In this Marketing Plan I will formulate a Marketing Strategy for Clorox Disinfecting Wipes.
The Clorox Company's main mission is to provide innovative services to its consumers. I will base this Marketing Plan on the disinfecting wipes category of Clorox's cleaning product line. Disinfecting Wipes is one of the Company's leading products. Clorox was the first company to release these disinfecting wipes and is currently leading the wipe industry with a 47 percent market share. This is a highly competitive industry with the threat of many substitutes.
