P&G promotes its image
Article Abstract:
Procter & Gamble Co. (P&G), the US consumer-products giant, is promoting its image in China by airing two television spots for two months. The strategy of promoting the corporate name plays to the widespread belief among Chinese consumers that imported products are more beneficial than local brands. Yvonne Pei, spokeswoman for P&G said the spots are supposed to posit that the company is "more than a cold logo on the back of a product." The first TV spot shows a young man and woman fantasizing about the baby they are expecting, while the second features families and children using P&G products.

Focus shifts away from Asia: P&G suspends sales of Tampax in some markets
Article Abstract:
Procter and Gamble Co suspended the marketing of its Tampax brand tampons in Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore to focus on the restructuring of its tampon business, acquired in 1997 with the purchase of Tambrands Inc. Discontinuing the market of Tampax enables the company to integrate the Tambrands organization to the Procter and Gamble organization in the region. However, the company is still considering to relaunch the Tampax brand in these regions in the future.
