Article Abstract:
Sales of toilet paper in France were worth FFr 3.8bn in the 12 month period ending on 12 June 1998, down 0.5% in volume, yet up 0.1% in value. Own brand labels controlled 43% of the market, followed by Fort James (34%) and Kimberly Clark (12.2%). Kimberly Clark has launched a promotional campaign in which consumers can win cinema tickets with their 12-pack toilet paper purchases, and Lotus is offering 30 Twingos and 5,000 FFr 100 gift vouchers in a promotional offer which will last until January 1999. This strategy has replaced the 'free product' type of promotion, which accounted for between 20% and 25% of sale volumes in the 1996/97 trading year, but only 15% to 20% in the 1997/98 year.
