The History of Teeth Whitening The smile has been the subject of art and inspiration ever since the dawn of man. It has graced cave drawings, medieval paintings, renaissance masterpieces, and fashion photographs throughout time. But smiles require one particular component to be beautiful, and that is white teeth. Just as the love of smiles developed over time, so did the methods of keeping teeth clean and white. The numerous teeth whitening tips and teeth whitening products we use today all have long histories as fascinating as human history itself.
Chapter 1 Pre-case
There was a problem with this method, however, as nitric acid, while capable of whitening and cleaning teeth, also shaved off the protective enamel of the teeth, which resulted in the patrons’ teeth decaying over time.
But this didn’t stop commercial teeth whitening from evolving. Despite the eventual tooth decay, patrons continued to have their teeth whitened by nitric acid over the centuries, until in the 1800s, when Italian dentists discovered fluoride’s teeth-protecting capabilities, putting an end to the nitric acid craze, and making barbers’ work on teeth obsolete.
The Italians then, along with the French, began experimenting with fluoride-laced lozenges that people Teeth whitening first began in 3000BC, when the first could put in their mouths to help clean and strengthen people began to fray twigs and branches on one end to the teeth.

Fast-forward another few stick, and will continue to go a long way as human thousand years, and commercialized teeth whitening is civilization continues to move forward. We may not yet born, offered by the barbers of the Middle Ages. even have an idea of what are the best teeth whitening products. Using nitric acid, the barbers cleaned and whitened their patrons’ teeth in addition to cutting their hair.
Teeth Whitening Beginning of Commercial Teeth Whitening Teeth whitening was not commercialized until the advent of professional barbers who aside from cutting hair were also responsible for pulling out unhealthy teeth. Then these Middle Ages barbers began cleaning teeth for their customers. By the 18th century, the barbers doubled as dental surgeons. In a somewhat barbaric treatment, the barber would whiten teeth by first filing them down with a metal apparatus and then dousing the teeth with nitric acid, a powerful corrosive, to whiten them. The acid made the teeth shiny white but at the same time it caused the destruction of tooth enamel and eventually lead to pulpy, decayed choppers. Ironically this kind of teeth whitening method did not prevent people from the practice because the future prospect of losing all of their teeth was a small price to pay for physical glamour. It’s popularity continued to grow until it became a status symbol for one to have his teeth bleached white with the destructive nitric acid. This practice continued until the ending years of 18th century when fluoride was discovered to have a positive effect on the color of teeth in Italy. Fluoride was made into lozenge form and people were encouraged to suck on these sweets, which were flavored with honey, to improve their teeth. However, it was later discovered that too much fluoride could have the opposite effect on teeth, so it is now used scarcely. This new chemical and trained dentists quickly replaced nitric acid and Barbers for dental care. Then the tooth whitening industry began to blossom and has continued to this day to be a very vibrant industry. Teeth Whitening Today Several different methods of teeth whitening are on today’s market. Dentists can provide a one-hour whitening treatment or they can bleach the teeth. Home solutions range from daily amounts of paste that should be applied to teeth to teeth whitening strips, which are pressed on then pulled off the enamel for a pearly glow. Special whitening toothpastes and dental rinses are also widely available, a far cry from the Roman’s urine treatment. Natural Teeth Whitening There are many natural teeth whiteners, but be careful in following each and every advice you come across. Some vegetables are natural abrasives and eating them scrubs your teeth in a natural and harmless way. They act like toothbrushes. These vegetables include carrots, celery and cucumbers. Baking soda is a classic amongst natural teeth whitening methods, and is indeed harmless. It is very effective in removing stains and killing plaque-causing bacteria, and it also reduces acids that harm your tooth enamel. There are many more methods for whitening, but some can cause too much damage to your teeth, which you will likely regret sooner or later.
The Market Over the last few centuries, people in Africa, India, and nearby Muslim countries have made natural toothbrushes from frayed twigs referred to as “chew sticks.” The best chewing sticks are made from twigs of the Salvadore Persica tree, which many ethnic groups call the “toothbrush tree.” Other chew sticks are made from twigs of the licorice bush, these chew sticks are also among the best quality chewing sticks available today. Chew sticks are natural toothbrushes made from frayed sticks. Sticks and twigs are cut from various trees and bushes such as licorice bush, gum tree, and the Salvadora Persica tree which locals call “The Toothbrush Tree”. In fact, the World Health Organization promotes the use of the trigs of the Salvadora Persica tree as a natural toothbrush.
African as “mswaki” meaing “toothbrush” in Swahili. Research suggests chew sticks contain a number of medically beneficial properties including abrasives, antiseptics, astringent, detergents, enzyme inhibitors, and fluoride. There are local claims chew sticks whiten teeth, freshen breath and even are good for head and stomach problems. Several studies have shown chew sticks are just as effective as tootbrushes and toothpaste for cleaning teeth and gums.
Tests have shown that African chew sticks contain natural antibiotics, fluoride, and other anti-cavity ingredients. When Africans came to the United States, they brought their revolutionary idea with them. Many older people are finding themselves in their 80s with healthy gums and cavity-free teeth, and they are using nothing but chew sticks to take care of them! The chewing action keeps the gums healthy, cleans the food from teeth and freshens the breath. Chew sticks are an easy and Chew Sticks flavor-filled way to enjoy excellent dental health.

Introducing: Miswak The Miracle Twig The miswak (miswaak, siwak, sewak) is a teeth cleaning twig made from a twig of the Salvadora persica tree (known as arak inArabic and peelu in Urdu). History The miswak is predominant in Muslim-inhabited areas, but its use predates the inception of Islam. The stick’s use has spread from the Middle East to South and Southeast Asia, where it is known as Kayu Sugi (Malay for ‘chewing stick’). It is often mentioned that the Islamic Prophet Muhammad recommended its use. He is quoted in various Hadith extolling the twig’s virtues: “Were it not that I might over-burden the Believers I would have ordered them to use Siwak (Miswak) at the time of every Prayer.” “Four things are from among the practices of the Prophets: Circumcision, Perfume, Miswak, and Marriage.” “Make a regular practice of Miswak for verily it is the purification for the mouth and a means of the pleasure of the Lord.”
Product description
Miswak The Miracle Twig
Delight in the delicious, strengthening power of chew sticks. These chew sticks are cut from the licorice bush (or the Neem tree) and are soaked in the 100% natural distilled flavor. Chewing on the sticks keeps the gums healthy and strong, while freshening your breath. Chew sticks are also famous as a way to quit smoking Chewing sticks, pencil-sized sticks made from the root or stem of local trees and shrubs, are chewed on the end until they become frayed into a brush. People then clean their teeth with these frayed sticks - simultaneously removing plaque and massaging their gums. Maintenance A miswak should be one hand span in length when selected. If it becomes dry, it should be soaked in rose water to soften the end bristles. The end should be cut afresh to ensure hygiene and should never be stored near a toilet or sink. The brush may be created by cutting Salvadora persica’s branches instead of its roots (as done in the Sudan), keeping in mind that the tree’s roots can retain humidity more so than its branches. This favors more long-term usage. There is also a toothpaste made from miswak extract that can be purchased in the Middle East, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe and North America. SWOT Other Whitening Methods Teeth Whitening Gels It is very likely that you’ve heard of this method of whitening before, as it is one of the most popular methods available. There are many different ways for the gel to be applied to your teeth in an effort to white in them. Perhaps the most common, as well as most reliable way of applying teeth whitening gels is by way of a mouth guard that has special holes drilled into it, which can hold the applicant that contains the chemicals that actually whiten your teeth. Teeth Whitening Strips Due to the extreme ease that someone can get their hands on this type of whitening procedure, it is definitely an extremely popular one. Given the fact that these strips can be found in standard grocery stores all across the world, it is likely to be the first method that many people choose in an effort to embark on whiter teeth. They’re very inexpensive when compared to other methods, but are also extremely unlikely to produce as great as results. Laser Whitening This is by far the most expensive type of method you can undergo, often resulting in well over $1000 being invested into the procedure. It is important to note that despite the fact that it is very expensive, the results will often be worth it as it is often quoted as the most reliable and positive result producing way of whitening your teeth. So if you can afford the cost of laser teeth whitening, it is likely the best choice for you.
Major Competitors Bayer African Imports Sephora The Bath and Body Works Weaknesses durability Threats post-harvest fungal overgrowth on chewing sticks used for oral hygiene The use of harvested chewing sticks after prolonged storage period is therefore not advisable for oral hygiene measures. Opportunities International Market Acceptance University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) and theUniversity of Stellenbosch in Tygerberg, South Africa. “While tooth-brushing with toothpaste is arguably the most common method of oral hygiene in developed nations, a large portion of the world’s population does not use toothbrushes,” says Christine Wu, Ph.D., an associate professor of periodontics in the College of Dentistry at UIC and a co-author of the study. In many countries, including India, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and others in the Middle East, Asia and Africa, chewing sticks are important tools for oral healthcare. A 1993 oral health survey showed that although only about 20 percent of Namibians use chewing sticks, those who used the sticks had fewer cavities. The World Health Organization has recently recommended and encouraged the use of chewing sticks as an effective tool for oral hygiene. “Regular use of this alternative oral hygiene tool may help reduce the incidence of caries [cavities] and gum inflammation in rural populations where professional care is less available and toothbrushes are less affordable,” says Wu.

SWOT Analysis// The Body Shop & L’Oreal Strength: The Original Green Brand: Natural, Ethical, Organic The Body Shop was the first brand to have all-natural, organic body care products. This is a distinct strength, because it shows that The Body Shop was creating such prodcuts for the intent of pure benefits and not because it’s a hot comodity in the indsutry. This proves to customers that The Body Shop is true, authentic, sincere, and knows whatmaking all natural products is all about. Weakness: New Earthy Trends- The Trend of Natural and Organic – Not so “Cool” Unfortunately, being green and buying all natural products is extremely common. It no longer is something thatsets a company apart from the rest. Although this could be good in the sense that more individuals are buying productslike such products sold at The Body Shop, it can also be harmful since all competitors now have products that are all natu-ral and organic. Opportunity: Re-establish the “We are the Leader Attitude” By reestablishing the fact that The Body Shop was the first store to carry all natural body care products is important in creating new brand loyalty. There is something about history and tradition that can be appealing to many consumers. Buying at The Body SHop means that the consumers are becoming part of the very first movement that is still continuing to make waves in society and make groundbreaking history thorugh unique campaigns .This is something that noother competitor has to offer as there is only one true original leader. Threats (Related to the Environment) Consumers aged 18-34 are most likely to purchase body care products from Wal-Mart or another mass store suchas Target, rather than buying at high-end places like The Body Shop. (Bodycare-US). Yet according to EBSCO the life cyclestage of this industry is consistently growing and the chance of revenue volatility is considered low giving hope for TheBody Shop. Strength of L’Oreal Being under ownership of the top global cosmetics company, L’Oreal SA, which took up 16.8% of the marketshare in 2000, makes The Body Shop a force to be reckoned with (A Makeover of Global Proportions: The Leading Cos-metics Players). L’Oreal SA is also a top leader in the U.S. holding 2% of the market (Richardson). L’Oreal SA is also atop global fragrance company ranked as number 2 taking up 7.6% of the 2000 market share, making it a top leader in
SWOT Analysis Weakness: Conglomerate Ownership: [Conficting Views Vs Competitor Ownership] Although there are great attributes that come with new partnership between The Body Shop and L’Oreal, this ownership has caused some consumers to have doubts about The Body Shop’s promises. L’Oreal and The Body Shophave different outlooks on activism, advocacy, and origination of their natural products. Some of the practices such asanimal testing done in past years for example are not in line with The Body Shop’s values making consumers question itsauthenticity. This is a weakness, because extra efforts may need to be taken in order for consumers to recognize that. Weaknesses: Lack of Brand Awareness Compared to Other Competitors Unfortunately, there is a disconnect between customers in The Body Shop’s target market and getting consumersinto The Body Shop stores. With so many bodycare products on the market, the shop is no longer a top of mind competi-tor, although with strong products, ad campaigns, and ethics there is no doubt that this can change. Opportunity: The Male Factor Another opportunity The Body Shop has is that, both men and women are giving their opinions of the products. It would be common to think that women only use The Body Shop’s products, but the testimonies of men can bring more male customers to The Body Shop, since its current male consumers are proud of the products they are using and seem willing to share such positive feedback with the online world. This opportunity in Social media may be a strategic way of continuing to reach out to the male population, because men may feel more comfortable about endorsing body care products on the internet more so than they would in person talking to another male face to face.

Consumersof The Body Shop are also passionate about working out, shopping at boutiques, reading Health magazine, and drivingvehicles by Mercedes or BMW or any smart car.
The Body Shop objective is to introduce a new product, weight and recommend five different markets, the overall goals for this advertising plan are:
Chapter 4 Media Objectives
• Gain market awareness amongst young professionals and women ages 18 to 34, and women ages 35 to 55. • Gain market awareness amongst young professionals through broadcast advertisements. • Increase market awareness for The typical Body Shop consumer is female, well-educated, conscientious, adventurous, confident, and ambitious. • Increase sales by 25% within the target audience, as well as increasing overallbrand awareness and positive brand attitude.
Reach and Frequency were increased in the months of February, May, and December, because of Valentine’sDay, Mother’s day, and Christmas, respectively. November has a slight increase because of early shopping for Christmas. The media goals were calculated by averaging the numberthroughout the whole year
Chapter 4 Strategy The overall strategy to reach the goals consists of various creative ideas through different mediums with a $25million budget. There are three levels of reach/frequency periods referred to as low, medium and high periods with $16 million of the budget. The plan is to maintain a continuous advertising plan throughout the 2012 calendar year with a pulsing pattern.The months of February, May, and December are considered to be the high periods of advertising. Holidays such asValentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Christmas are times in which the target market increase the amount of money theyspend, therefore the focus has been emphasized on mediums that reach them best on an average day. Based on researchthrough Mintel and MRI, those vehicles are radio and network TV. January, March, April, June, July, August, September, and October are the low periods of advertising. During these months there will be a about $1 million spent each month to continue the reach and impact on the audience but not overwhelm them with constant advertising. November will be addressed as a medium month in which there will be a heavy decrease in advertisement in order to focus on the start of the new campaign that will be reinforced by the heavy advertisement in the month following. This campaign will be launched by a concert with numerous artists and celebrities to raie awareness to defend human rights, protect our planet and animal testing for which there has been a total amount of $2 million dollars set aside. The remaining $2 million dollars of the budget will be spread throughout the year for advertisement in socialmedia such as Facebook and Twitter, as well as the partnership with Starbucks Coffee sleeves featuring Earth Day. Other advertisement ideas throughout the year include inserts in Sunday newspapers, catalogues for returningcostumers, 35-second ads in movie theaters before the previews, website contests and give aways, as well as in-store promotions.
