Product strategy

                                     Logo

Slogan : "We can do anything..like barbie" and "we can do anything RIGHT BARBIE?"
Product strategy- just as mentioned earlier the products include research and development, packaging and labelling. The Brats doll was able to capture the attention girls particularly between the ages of 9 to 11 because of its popular dressing, the dolls have different characters to choose from and each doll projects a different image. In addition, the designs of the product which are the accessories and dresses are more up-to-date and funkier therefore little girls prefer having Brats dolls. Moreover, more girls prefer Brats dolls because of the different characteristics and images, unlike Barbie who only has one look. In order to address the changing needs of girls Barbie released Diva Stars and Lavas, however both products have unfavourable outcomes.The survey clearly shows that Brats is the favourite of girls. Barbie dolls must have funkier clothes and accessories in order to attract more kids. In addition, Mattel must develop new characters, the company have already created Ken and Kelly, therefore an addition to the dolls would be a good idea since more girls nowadays prefer a more diverse choice of dolls to choose from and not just one character.
