Character-based brand differentiation strategy

Unilever Korea's fabric care brand Snuggle is rolling out a brand strategy that uses the Snuggle Bear character. By combining the meaning of “snuggle,” which suggests a warm embrace, with a bear character, the brand conveys a soft and comforting image. Among consumers who are sensitive to fragrance, it offers a differentiated brand experience along with a perception of a cozy scent.

Indoor-drying product with deodorizing ingredients doubled

Snuggle Indoor-Drying Sunshine Fabric Softener is designed for use in hot and humid summer conditions without odor concerns. Compared with the company's existing products, it doubles the deodorizing ingredients to reduce odors that can occur during indoor drying.

Two-scent lineup and product features

Huggable Sunshine combines bergamot and mandarin citrus with ylang-ylang floral notes to create a bright and refreshing sunshine scent. Mellow Sunshine blends the floral notes of rose and peony with the warmth of amber for a soft, cozy sunshine scent.

Balanced for lasting fragrance and comfort

The product focuses on lasting comfort rather than a strong fragrance. It is designed to keep laundry fresh in indoor-drying environments without leaving an overpowering scent, while avoiding musty odors. It is positioned as a suitable choice for consumers who value both deodorizing performance and a natural, long-lasting fragrance.

Consumer satisfaction survey results

In a survey of Snuggle users, 98% said they were satisfied with the product's performance in indoor-drying conditions.

Brand's explanation of its market strategy

A Snuggle official said, “More consumers are now considering not only product performance but also fragrance and brand emotion,” adding, “In particular, the brand's signature character and the product's key appeal points are well matched, and that is drawing a positive response from consumers in their 20s to 40s.”
