Never again, Gillette

Male razors basically have the most loyal customer base you could ask for. Something like 95% of men just pick the brand the father used, even down to electric or not, and never even consider a change. Its basically a money printing machine.

How do you even fuck that up as a corporation? Ah, I know, lets get a hostile PR manager that actively shames and blames our main customer base, that will work!

I stopped buying P&G brands from the first offense. And since they’ve doubled down that policy hasn’t changed.

FutureIsManAndRobot · 2019-07-30T12:56:49+00:00

It's too late to repent, I'm not buying any P&G product ever again. Get woke, go broke.

FightClubHamster69 · 2019-07-30T12:28:44+00:00

Same here. I’m from MA where Gillette is from, I don’t buy their shit. It’s too expensive anyways. Plus that commercial just totally ruined the brand for me.

Gillette is too good and moral for our money.

Sparklaus · 2019-07-30T14:23:07+00:00

The issue with this is that while Gillette is dropping, P&G other brands are increasing. You really need to get ALL of P&G out of your house, and good luck with that.

The competition in grooming is very hard, I do not have P&G as a client, but I wouldn't be too surprised if they decided to sacrifice a part of the grooming market to gain traction in other markets such as beauty...

NietzscheExplosion · 2019-07-30T12:41:26+00:00

Nice accounting tricks. Got em a neg 3.4% tax rate.

Grooming neg 1% but everything else(maxipade n shit)is way up on virtue signal crap.

RedPilledFanatic · 2019-07-30T14:43:32+00:00

I'm still running through my stash of Gilette blades. I have a sensitive skin. Other blades will make wounds. Machine doesn't do the trick for me. I don't have an alternative for Gilette. Any advice would be very much appreciated.

TigPlaze · 2019-07-30T15:09:49+00:00

It makes you wonder who their brilliant marketers are. If they had asked me, "Should we hire a man-hating feminist terrorist to insult our customers in an ad?" even I with no advertising training could have told them it was a bad idea.

ITrollRedditEveryDay · 2019-07-30T14:26:42+00:00

i think they doing this on purpose to avoid taxes and inflation

Sparklaus · 2019-07-30T15:09:38+00:00

Feminist dominated marketing tends to downplay men’s purchasing power in order to push their retarded politics.

There’s no proof that women control 80% of spending.

Woke = broke.

AeternusDoleo · 2019-07-30T14:31:33+00:00

The impairment was due primarily to significant currency devaluations that have occurred since carrying values were initially established nearly 14 years ago in 2005. The Shave Care business has also been negatively impacted by market contraction of blades and razors, primarily in developed markets, due to lower shaving frequency, and competitive activities.

HA! They still aren't owning up to having tanked their own brand. Ah, P&G, those who cannot learn from their failures, will be doomed to repeat them.

stupidreddithandle91 · 2019-07-30T15:15:58+00:00

If you’re switching, it’s a perfect time to switch to a safety razor. Order 100 blades online, $8 and you’re good for a year. Just have to draw the hand more slowly. You can’t just swipe and hack, like you do with with a disposable razor.

NathanHollister · 2019-07-30T15:32:54+00:00

And they laugh all the way to the bank. PG stock is up from $83 at the start of this year to $121 now

[deleted] · 2019-07-30T15:25:38+00:00

Write downs are just for tax purposes. The way you know is layoffs and stock going down.

unblackmailable · 2019-07-30T15:48:33+00:00

Who ever said that our boycot would not make any difference to a company like that, is wrong. Such a write down will cost the shareholders millions. How would we react toward a feminist with too much power in your company who acts stupidly? My guess is that the current shareholders will eventually do the same.

forme2c · 2019-07-30T16:18:50+00:00

Screw P&G. They hate me, I buy products from their competitors that like me.

[deleted] · 2019-07-30T17:46:33+00:00

I always used Gillette as a teen because you know, my dad used it.

Then again fuck them. Haven't picked one up in 7 years. Little trim here, little snip there.

yurimodin · 2019-07-30T17:29:19+00:00

WOMP WOMP

Diogenes1776 · 2019-07-30T18:31:06+00:00

The reason for the millions in lost revenues would be because Beards are now fashionable AND that dumb ass advert, obviously

Cordigrass · 2019-07-30T19:33:41+00:00

Darn, fine a better brand than Gillete. Does anyone have a list of companies that support the feminist cause?

Need to change grocery list.

-394% hahahahahahaha

ben-anders · 2019-07-30T23:49:03+00:00

How stupid are they? You sell razors. and throw your male customers under the bus to please radical feminist? While radical feminist made it pretty clear they dont like shaving.

THE_NUBIAN · 2019-07-31T02:15:41+00:00

I had no idea a company could do this ... this seems-like a huge moral hazard to me. It actually incentivizes them to work you to death. Maybe not so easy at Wal-mart, but higher paying big stress jobs they can take years off your life with one project

gillette_man · 2019-07-30T15:41:02+00:00

come on guys! you are being to harsh on me!

spartannation · 2019-07-30T15:45:27+00:00

$8 billion value loss from one commerical?? Haha get real. Couldn't possibly be because the entire shaving industry is on the decline and there have been new startups cutting into Gillette's market share since way before Gillette ever aired that commercial. Maybe you shouldn't be so offended all the time
