Don't really like the products. And I wouldn't buy Lynx in a pink fit. But then, I'm not the target market for that advertising campaign... I think you're right, though, it's a good idea to have an overview of any particular company's product range. Otherwise you can be giving with one hand, and taking away with the other.life in a pink fibrohttp://lifeinapinkfibro.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-38622439583317949342010-10-18T08:20:17.345+11:002010-10-18T08:20:17.345+11:00I'm constantly boycotting brands, though I thi...I'm constantly boycotting brands, though I think it's worth noting that if you're going to boycott, send an email and let them know you're doing so and why. they're unlikely to notice that single drop in sales, but at least if you send them a message directly it'll get sent to their marketing teams. I'm boycotting Bonds at the moment because they're affiliated with Sarah Murdoch, and presently I think she's disgusting because she was involved with that stupid modelling program that recently had all their models wearing fur, even when one of the girls protested wearing it. <br /><br />I'm trying to cut down on 'mainstream' brands and switch to brands that are actively natural/enviro friendly, so Dove has already been weaned from my shopping list in favour of Trilogy, but I'll be sharing that info with friends - word of mouth is amazing these days.Jasminehttp://www.dardoandme.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-11576360539943279422010-10-18T07:36:39.456+11:002010-10-18T07:36:39.456+11:00I don't use dove or other brand soaps etc. bec...I don't use dove or other brand soaps etc. because myu husband is sensitive to fragrances and I am to other substances in these products.<br /><br />It is very duplicitous of them. I won't be having any option to use LYNX I'm sure either. I don't think of it as boycotting, I just don't use so many things. <br /><br />Once the local supermarkets were having a strike and my sister wanted to be sure I wasn't crossing the picket line. I told her I rarely go to a supermarket, just our health food store.purplumehttp://www.purplume.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-485477916282713782010-10-17T19:40:06.851+11:002010-10-17T19:40:06.851+11:00Thanks for the link Veronica.Thanks for the link Veronica.ClaireyHewitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709892778460619439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-50207758121586633162010-10-17T19:24:43.286+11:002010-10-17T19:24:43.286+11:00Yeah, I think the main company just wants to be se...Yeah, I think the main company just wants to be seen to be 'woman friendly' knowing that a lot of people won't research who the parent company is (http://www.unilever.com.au/brands/ btw).<br /><br />I still buy Dove - because I like their product and I applaud the thinking behind these campaigns, but we need to come a little further I think.Veronica Foalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05519401661788911341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-18846333295899188672010-10-17T19:23:36.618+11:002010-10-17T19:23:36.618+11:00Yes, MMBB they do, and a heap of other brands too....Yes, MMBB they do, and a heap of other brands too.ClaireyHewitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15709892778460619439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615960162747995029.post-13825562775680941892010-10-17T18:59:51.974+11:002010-10-17T18:59:51.974+11:00Dove do Lynx do they?
