Save Water

Show that you don't need to buy an eco-friendly product to be eco-friendly. Get shoppers to save up to 4 gallons of water when brushing by turning off the tap, and get cost-conscious shoppers to switch to, or continue to buy Colgate products.

Become a favored partner of Walmart and secure premium Colgate placements by getting price-sensitive shoppers on board to save water.

Using medal-winning swimmer Michael Phelps, shoppers were drawn in to a quiz to see if they "Are as fast as Phelps".

Through educational, interactive demos, shoppers could physically see the amount of water they could save while brushing. This was reinforced by giving out water-activated faucet stickers in-store, so the message was taken home.
