Consumers are afraid of liquid bleach. And rightfully so. It splashes and damages, resulting in a category freefall as Millennials switch to bleach wipes and crystals.
To make matter worse, the liquid bleach category is boring and in need of a long-overdue shake-up. So combine the obstacles of fear, declining sales, and the category being a total snoozefest…how can a bleach solve that?
Meet CLORALEN Platinum Splash-Free Bleach Liquid Gel. A bleach innovation that dared to enter a declining category at a premium-price point with a goal to grow category sales and shift a negative consumer perception.
Through research, we found an overwhelming number of consumers take special precautions to avoid bleach accidents. Donning a separate set of "junk" clothes and thick rubber gloves is common when using liquid bleach. Simply put, bleach is a bully, and it was winning.
CLORALEN Platinum provides total control so anyone can Bleach Like a Boss.
Bleach Like a Boss is grounded in a take-charge strategy that holds no prisoners. A provocative campaign threw down the gauntlet to hype the control consumers have with CLORALEN Platinum. Through bold visuals, inventive product demos, and even memes, CLORALEN stood out in a sterile category and showed that there is only one way you should be using bleach: Like A Boss.
The campaign reframed the consumer perception of liquid bleach and turned bleach skeptics into bleach bosses. The Bleach Like a Boss campaign helped CLORALEN increase its category dollar share by 21%.
