About Reckitt

For over 200 years, Reckitt has been a trusted name in health, hygiene, and home products.

Founded in 1823 in the UK, the company has grown into a global leader, consistently innovating to improve everyday well-being.

Its portfolio includes household names like Lysol, Air Wick, Finish and Dettol, each known for providing effective protection and hygiene solutions.

Within its diverse product lineup, Laundry Sanitiser plays a crucial role, offering consumers an extra layer of protection by ensuring their laundry is not just clean but hygienically safe.

Research Challenge

Reckitt sought to uncover the key functional and emotional drivers behind consumer loyalty to their Laundry Sanitiser.

While sales figures confirmed strong repeat usage, Reckitt wanted deeper insights: Why do loyal consumers keep choosing this product?

Understanding these triggers and barriers would allow Dettol to refine its messaging, reinforce brand positioning and strengthen its connection with consumers.

The ultimate goal was to translate these insights into a more compelling communications strategy that resonates with existing users and attracts new ones.

“BoltChatAI came to the rescue when we needed a super agile way of understanding our loyalists, to feed into our comms strategy. Having the opportunity to get consumers’ inputs in video form made a huge difference in ensuring the insights we uncovered had a strong buy-in from the business. The integrated AI assistant made the setup and analysis a breeze, allowing me the time to focus on what matters: business implications.”

Approach and Solution

To address this challenge, we used our AI-moderated qualitative research platform, BoltChatAI.

BoltChatAI conducted targeted one-on-one interviews with Reckitt’s most loyal consumers. These 30-minute in-depth conversations revealed both the rational and emotional insights behind continued product use.

The inclusion of video responses added another layer rich of depth to the research, capturing non-verbal cues and emotional nuances that deepened the understanding of consumer behaviour.

Outcome and Business Impact

BoltChatAI delivered valuable insights, reinforcing the idea that Dettol’s Laundry Sanitiser is more than just a cleaning product.

For loyal users, it represents a sense of security, as they view it as an essential step in their hygiene routine, particularly for baby clothes, gym wear and delicate fabrics.

Trust in protection is another crucial factor, as the ability to eliminate bacteria and viruses gives consumers peace of mind, making it a non-negotiable part of their laundry process.

By leveraging BoltChatAI, Reckitt gained high-quality insights quickly, allowing them to adapt their communication strategy effectively and maintain their competitive edge in the market.
