Product
Pioneer Effect: First of its kind. Technically Sound: Dependable Japanese Technology. Smoke Free, no residue, almost odorless. Extra MMR Long lasting. Ease of Use.
Pricing
High price to cover the cost of expensive components purchased from Matsushita Electronics. Later reacting to market sentiments the price was reduced by increasing the in house manufacturing of components. Premium Pricing, creating an impression of a premier product. Flexible pricing to accommodate market sentiments. KAPL was proactive with its flexible pricing strategy. It set a trend in the process. GSLL followed it up with a similar strategy.
Pricing (contd..)
GSLL while struggling to maintain its market share launched a 60-night refill pack priced at Rs.63.(against All Outs 45-night pack at Rs.54). GSLL had to support this new scheme using promotions. GSLL market share decreased by 9.3% after KAPLs Deadly Exchange Scheme. Further reduction of price by GSLL had little effect on its decreasing sales.

Place
GSLL and R&C were multi-product giants whereas KAPL was a newcomer with a single product. Hence the former companies (before launching vaporizers) already had well established distribution networks. The only P in which KAPL was behind its major competitors was Place. Of the 9 lac outlets across the country that sold repellants, KAPL was available in only 18% Percentage of outlets: R&C 55%
Promotion
The advertisements were initially handled by Avenues and later by HTA but to no effect The ads of All Out were unique and immediately caught the imagination of the masses. The ad had high mind recall. Since KAPL themselves handled the account the advertisement cost was quite low.
