1 Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Procter & Gamble’s Head & Shoulders shampoo is the biggest selling anti-dandruff shampoo in the world.When sales began to drop, Head & Shoulders had been on the market for more than 25 years in somecountries Procter & Gamble therefore considered the possibility that changes in consumer needs and wantsmay have occurred and could explain the declining sales Market research identified that consumers were notcomfortable with the brand’s core promise that it would get rid of dandruff Therefore, the decision wasmade by Procter & Gamble to alter Head & Shoulders’ promise to one that gives people beautiful hair and

keeps hair clean The brand turned away from presenting dandruff as a disease that needs to be treated and

set out with the intention of making consumers comfortable with purchasing and being associated with Head

& Shoulders

As part of the launch for Head & Shoulders in Australia, a “celebrity ball” was held at Sydney’s Star CityCasino in September 1999, in order to link Head & Shoulders with glamour and to steer away from thediscomforting image of an anti-dandruff shampoo The launch also featured an advertisement with CourtneyCox

Within three months of Head & Shoulder being launched in Australia, it had established itself as the numberfour shampoo in the Australian market Consumers were obviously more inclined to purchase a product

whose main feature was glamour, rather than battling dandruff.

- Check your credit card statements each month: even small irregularities will sometimes mean that

something is wrong Thieves will sometimes use your card to make a small purchase to see if you will report this
