Abstract

These notes from an RJR marketing meeting list various ideas for new cigarettes, including Project HIP, a cigarette for women, whose advertising was to depict "Female agressor in male/female situation," that would "position women as independent and in control in provocative situations." Would "exploit the anti-fashion trend," and possibly have "pearlescent filter tipping." Would be "built for the way women smoke -- e.g. smaller, more frequent puffs." The pack would be adapted for women: "Use a slide pack -- more elegant ritual to remove cigarette." One idea was to have a re-lightable cigarette with the ad slogan, "How to Save Your Butt." A marketing concept included "Humorous cartoon-like approach depicting ways to "save your butt," and "humorous series of "what can happen if you don't save your butt properly."

We've taken the best quality tobacco and put more of it into every cigarette. So much that you'll notice how firm and tightly packed it is. Because of this, the cigarette burns more slowly and lasts longer for more puffs of great tobacco taste. To be explored: 15 cigarettes at standard 20's price.

Produc._t_ Concept. A conpletely new innovation has been used to create a cigarette with a unique feature: a cuff that slides down the cigarette and puts out the lit end, emitting a pleasant aroma at the same time. With the cuff, you can relight the unused portion at a later time and it will provide the same good taste as in the first puff. The package has a place to put the partially unused ci.garette until you are ready to finish it. The aroma from t:)e cuff will eliminate any unpleasant smell in the ashtray or on your hands. 1.1 1 . ~~`c? ." -':e t.'_.:'.cY CCncep t Parity priced with packaging to provide a) visual re~n:"or :ement of llrelightz:bil.ityll and b) storage ca pa:.~i.1p i ty .

I deas For: • Longitudinal water marks • No water marks at all • Plain white cigarette • Pearlescent filter tipping • Pearlescent paper and tipping (all in one) • How to make a cigarette built for the way women smoke-- e.g., smaller more frequent puffs. Ia c_as_ Eoc, • Less smoke per puff • Use XGT/LN product with cork tip, but don't talk to its extreme smoothness, let it. be a discovered bt. riefit. • Give it an extremely hard filter so it doesn't fold over when snuffing it out in ashtray.

Ideas For: • Show a man in ad only (no woman, no couple) • Use the "Give Me What I Want" campaign • Make it like Marlboro, but smoother. • Make it 85mm, i.e., neutf-al. • Give the lower tipping edge an uneven, torn look. • fiow to adapt the pack to women. • Use a slide pack-- more elegant ritual to remove cigarette. Look at various designs. • Make it flat like the Canadian pack-- less bulky in purse. • Use an opaque outer wrap, like Premier does. Communicates more protection and actually does keep product fresher.
