It seems odd to me that most people stick with the same
brand even though there are several other alternatives that could be just as
good if not better. I have experienced this myself as well. For some reason
every time I go to buy new toothpaste I always pick out Crest. The flavor may
change, but I always find myself buying crest toothpaste. I began to wonder
what it was about crest that caught my attention and why I always purchased it.
I began to think about why exactly I bought it over the competition. After not
too long I realized it was the toothpaste I grew up with. My mom used to always
buy Crest for me as a child and it seemed familiar and reminds me of my
childhood. I have developed a strong relationship with the brand and because of
it will always buy it.
While sorting through the various flavors of toothpaste, I
have often wondered which the best is for me. Eventually I usually end up
thinking they are all fairly similar and must work because they are all on the
shelves. It is amazing how much trust I put in P&G just because of their
reputation. My preference of crest seems
to follow Zipf’s law. I do not always use crest, but every chance I have it is
what I use. Somehow over my life I have become completely brand loyal to Crest.
I always use their toothpastes and have even ordered some from Amazon to try a
different flavor I could not find in a store. What started out as brushing my
teeth has turned into a long lasting relationship.
