Clorox Reigns Supreme


From puke to pee to poop, Clorox does it all, but faced issues when it came to their sales (as in, they weren’t selling).

The company found a way to increase their “young parent” purchase power by using Twitter and other social media sites to gain some traffic.

“The campaign not only stemmed declining sales, but increased them by 2 percent during the 13-week campaign, which won top honors in the Best Digital PR Campaign category of PR Daily’s Digital PR & Social Media Awards” (Amire).

With the increase of Internet use and the term “Google it” getting tossed around like crazy, it’s no wonder parents are going to the Web for answers to various parenting issues. Clorox saw this as a way to get some brand awareness and re-vamp their marketing strategy.

They created the hashtag #BleachItAway in an attempt to get parents from all over to tweet their experiences and offer up solutions for any “accidents” their little ones may have had that day. Bleachitaway.com also took off as a place for parents to share stories as well.

The PR firm, Ketchum used viral videos , blogs, and Facebook/Twitter as media for the campaign too.

When it comes to the numbers, Clorox Bleach online conversation went up by 38 percent and there was a 72 percent click-through rate on Twitter that led to bleachitaway.com

Bethenny Frankel also took part as the celebrity head, getting mommy bloggers to upload videos of their own at-home messy moments.
