Résumé du document

This document is about the creation of a new shaving cream that does not exist in the market.

Also we can see some ads in magazines, but the brand promotes its products thanks to sport sponsoring. For example, it has already sponsored the French rugby team. We can also point outthat it can be present in events and that events will provide the opportunity to distribute some free razors with samples of the shaving cream, after-shave, etc. to people.

[...] Slogan of the product: Mennen” Advertising: The brand communicates through TV ads, paper ads in magazines and posters.
