How to sell menstrual products:
"Your Image
is Your Fortune!," 1967,
from Personal Products Company,
maker of Modess pads (U.S.A.) Cover
Manufacturers must convince
stores to sell their products, and
how to do that best, and that
include tampons, pads, belts and
sanitary panties.
That was the task of the booklet
below, published right before the
Personal Products Company started
the self-adhesive
pad revolution. Read it for
an interesting lesson in
merchandising; the writer
says that menstrual products, of
all the products in a store, need
merchandising, because women will
not ask for them.
Compare this to some ideas
behind the first
Kotex ad campaign, in
1921, and to the Modess "silent
purchase" coupon of 1928.
