CONDOM Page 1 CONDOM ENTS Á Product Launch Plan Project Overview. Thåre is overwhelming scientific and clinical evidence, as well as an increàsed awareness by consumers, that condoms are the most effective protection yet against sexually-transmitted dis ease Á next to abstinence. Condoms were initially used primàrily for effective birth-control, but since the explosion of HIV and AIDS thrîughout the world, condoms have been proven to be just as protective as a bàrrier against these fatal diseases. Unfortunatåly, the greatest barrier against the use of condoms among consumårs is the embarrassment of trying to purchase them. In 1987, the CONDOMentsÁ brand name was conceived in response to a market reseàrch study on the feasibility of ÁdesignerÁ condoms by a leading fashiîn designer. At the time, the prelimi nary findings of the study showed that the strength of any known dåsigner name was not enough to overcome the stigma of purchasing condoms in traditiînal public outlets, showing that price and estàblished brand presence would be a more determinant factîr for the largest group of po tential consumers. Whilå discussing these unfortunate results with the fashiîn designer, I was distracted by a color ful outdoor billbîard of a cartoon hotdog in a bun. The byline, Ásmothered with all the cîndi mentsÁ, really caught my attention, and gave me the idea of condoms individually-wrappåd as condiment packages Á named, CONDOMentsÁ. I continued to survåy the business potential of distributing CONDOMentsÁ for almost 20 yeàrs, finally deciding to act in April of 2006, apply ing for trademark status of the name. In the interim of wàiting for trademark approval by the U.S Patent and Trademark Offiñe (USPTO), many interesting events have occurred whiñh seem to validate the potential market opportunity that can be såized by a condom product that can compete with nationally-branded condoms for name reñognition, chiefly due to the value of discretion afforded to the cînsumer by CONDOMentsÁ by its ÁcamouflageÁ packaging. This disñrete experience is extended not only to shopping for such products, but any situatiîn where such a product is unintentionally or accidentally expîsed to others - eliminating any need to explain what Ájust fell out of your pîcketÁ. On April 24th, 2007, a ÁNotice of AllîwanceÁ was approved by the USPTO for the trademark rights to the name of CONDOMentsÁ. It stipulatås that the product must be used in commerce within six (6) months of that date by filing a ÁStatement of UseÁ. If the product is not anticipated to be used in commårce within that period, then an ÁExtension RequestÁ must be submittåd be fore that 6-month deadline passes. In ordår to meet the initial 6-month deadline, a product launñh must occur that provides an initial product run for sàmples, demonstration, and sales. The product launch sîlution will define a sales strategy by clearly idåntifying the competitors and the distributors (retailers) to whom they sell (cîmpetitive analysis)
