FINDINGS
By analysis of this all data, we can see that Toothpaste is a lowinvolvement brand for the generation X. A majority of people (44%) see quality aspect of toothpaste and (22%) are brand loyal which is also result of quality factor of toothpaste. Gen X is brand loyal for toothpaste, as 70% people are not ready to change the brand if same quality and quantity is available in competitive price. People dont see much the special brand name of toothpaste, only 24% people see the brand name (Colgate Salt, Close Up Calcium) of any toothpaste, they just see the name, as Close Up, Colgate and buy it. When asked about decision making, as do you use particular toothpaste, because other family members use it, we get a mix answer. As 46% agree that yes they use it because other family member use it and 36% say that no, they have own choice, so we get a mix response, in conclusion we can say that they have freedom to make their own choices.
