BOC Week 4: Hawaiian Tropic


Hawaiian Tropic has announced that they will be putting an end to their Hawaiian Tropic bikini contest and they are trying to relaunch their brand by creating a “New Face” competition through Facebook. “The brand, which introduced new, premium formulas and updated packaging in recent years, is inviting women to enter their nationwide Facebook contest and become the brand's new spokesperson. The woman who best embodies everything Hawaiian Tropic stands for - beauty, confidence, style, enjoying the sun and keeping skin healthy - will appear in Hawaiian Tropic advertising, receive an all-expense-paid tropical vacation and serve as an official brand spokesperson.” (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/hawaiian-tropic-introduces-modern-look-115800488.html) The have been known for their bikini contests since the beginning of the company.  They built their entire brand around it and its crazy that they are just completely ending it and starting new. Also its crazy because they are using one person as their spokesperson instead of a whole bunch of women. I do think its good that they will be focuses on healthy skin because it is so important when you are tanning. They need to pick a women who completely portrays their entire feel of the company. "We're looking for a new face of the brand who captures that sensibility, and shares the Hawaiian Tropic philosophy that broad-spectrum sun protection can be as luxurious and pampering as any other beauty product." (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/hawaiian-tropic-introduces-modern-look-115800488.html) The contest will start on May 6th and go until May 31, 2013. The submissions will then be judged and the five finalists will be announced June 28, 2013. Once they are announced the judging goes into Americas viewers hands, who then vote for their favorite.
