TODAY’S DEEP DIVE
Photos of Lysols new air sanitizer product alongside their ad with the tagline "The Future of Air Is Here."

📰 TL;DR: Remember 2020 when sanitizers of all kinds were in high demand and every brand was sold out as soon as it hit shelves? Well, it’s 2023 and cleaning brands have to compete again. Lysol, while still a household name, is launching a new product to maintain ownership of the space.

Their new Lysol Air Sanitizer is the first and only product to receive EPA approval to claim that the product, “can kill 99.9% of airborne viruses and bacteria.” And if that’s not enough of a differentiator, their marketing campaign “Scent Can’t Sanitize” takes jabs at air freshener companies who can eliminate smells but stop short of removing germs from the air. With 85% of Americans planning to keep the same cleaning habits they adopted from the pandemic, it’s a good time for Lysol to nab the market.

💡 Insight: Be bold against the competition. Lysol’s not looking to make friends here, they’re looking to sell their product. And if that means calling out competitors directly on what they’re not doing, that’s what it takes.

What problem are you solving that your competitors aren’t? Or what are you doing better to solve those problems?

By calling out the unique features that set you apart from the others in your market, you’re helping consumers make the decision. It’s not just a marketing slogan, it’s the truth. Be clear about what makes you stand apart and let the customer decide.
