Executive Summary

Overview

The company's vision is to build total brand value by innovating to deliver consumer value and customer relationship faster, better and more effectively than its competitors.This vision statement has led to the development and introduction of various newer products especially in male grooming division and adoption of a more customer oriented approach.

The Colombian blade market consists of four broad segments

Flat blades

Disposables

Twin blades

Triple blades.

With this understanding of the basic classification of the Colombian blade market, let us now see the tools that help a company, in general, and also us in understanding the environment.

It is indeed enjoying greater supplier power due to its sole presence in the organized, premium technology shaving razors market in Colombia. Also there are no close substitutes to their razors. The only substitutes in terms of the product per se are in fact very poor on the technology and quality fronts.

The world's third largest shaving products maker, the American Safety Razor (ASRCL), is planning to spread its wings in Colombia through a distribution tie-up with the Salora group. The $279m company has a large repertoire, but at the moment, it wants to focus on disposables and shaving systems priced 15-25% cheaper than that of Pegasus Shave Master

The product

The Pegasus Titan 6 (for men) is gray and the Diana 6 (for women) is pink. The design is modern, clean, and saves weight and space. Average usage before replacement is two weeks.
