P&G brandSaver: April 2021

Procter & Gamble tied in to April's designation as "Earth Month" by spotlighting sustainable packaging and its other sustainability initiatives in its latest edition of brandSaver.Distributed on March 28 via Valassis, the stand-alone insert's front page depicted Tide "Hygienic Clean" pods, Downy fabric softener in an "eco-box," and Cascade Platinum dishwasher detergent pods under an "It's Our Home" message. The cover also boasted of up to $99 in coupons (depending on the market) contained within and depicted a QR code intended to recruit members to its P&G Good Everyday rewards program. The interior spread continued the "It's Our Home" sustainability theme by communicating "small actions at home can make a world of difference" and highlighting "a few small steps" shoppers can take to help protect, improve and restore the planet. The manufacturer highlighted, for example, that eco-boxes for Gain, Downy, Dreft and Tide use 60% less plastic than traditional packaging, and that doing laundry in cold water conserves energy and reduces carbon emissions, while highlighting that Tide detergents are "formulated for a better clean in cold water." The spread also promised P&G Good Everyday members double points on P&G eco-box, pod or Cascade products. In additional noteworthy activity: Bounty, Puffs and Charmin invited consumers to "spring into savings."9 Elements plugged its new "vinegar-powered" line, highlighting benefits such as the dish soap's ability to dissolve hard water spots. An interior spread shined a spotlight on new products from Olay, Aussie, Pantene, Nervive, Gillette and Always. Febreze dangled multiple BOGOF offers on Unstopables, Air or Small Spaces SKUs. Cascade Platinum promised shoppers a free rinse aid with purchase of two bags of dishwasher detergent from the brand. Brands including Mr. Clean, Oral-B, Prilosec, Stressballs, Crest, Fixodent, Vicks, Head & Shoulders, Old Spice, Gillette and Pampers were also represented in the event.See Related Updates below for this week's retailer overlays.
