The Pink Stuff is owned and produced by Starbrands, a company based in the United Kingdom, dedicated to delivering the best miracle cleaners in the market. But, did you know, The Pink Stuff dates to 1930?
Back then, the product was known as Chemico Household Cleanser and was sold in over 60 countries.
Over the time, the product was affectionately known by consumers as “The Pink Stuff” because it was pink in color and packed in a pink tin. During the 1980s, the product was renamed Chemico The Pink Stuff to reflect the consumer language.
After this, it became The Pink Stuff Miracle Cleaning Paste as we know it today.

E.E: What is the state of the market where you are currently active?
The current market is very dynamic and constantly changing. Ever since the pandemic, consumers are constantly looking for products and ideas to simplify their current daily tasks, and focus more on enjoying their lives, which is why the Pink Stuff brings a time efficient and effective solution for household tasks.
Nowadays, consumers in the market are more focused towards aligning themselves to brands to which they feel fulfill a purpose or bring an added value to their lives. The consumer mindset is increasingly focused on the value a brand provides rather than merely the aesthetic appeal of its products, which are important but no longer the primary focus of affiliation; hence the need for brands to constantly connect with their users.
Even though the current market is competitive for cleaning and household supplies, each brand speaks to their audience and finds ways to relate to them, leading to a clearly defined audience that can relate to the brand and the product. For brands to succeed in the current market, they need to understand it, but also, understand the audience who they are talking to, and moreover, understand the needs and pains their consumers are faced with. Only then, consumers will perceive the added value and brands will be able to capture their attention and loyalty.
E.E: What can you tell us about market trends?
We are observing several significant trends in the market, particularly driven by Millennials and Generation Z. These consumers are increasingly seeking immediate satisfaction, favoring quick results with minimal effort, as a more practical way of living is the priority for most of them at the moment. They prioritize brand affiliation, brand value, and product performance over other factors; therefore, brands should learn how to communicate and reach their audiences.
Moreover, modern consumers desire to be part of a reliable community rather than simply purchasing individual products is a trend that relates to the need of consumers to have brand affinity. This has led to the rise of inverse mentoring, where younger generations educate older generations about new, useful products and trends. We see more of this trend day by day, where Gen Z are influencing their Millennial friends and family, from there the trend goes to Gen X and Boomers. Therefore, in the end, it is important to learn how to communicate to new upcoming generations while still delivering good quality products to older generations, as their focus relies on the trust and familiarity they can perceive from the brand.
Additionally, the traditional marketing funnel is evolving. Where the process once moved from awareness to consideration and then to conversion, we now see that awareness alone can drive conversion. This shift is largely due to the impact of user-generated content (UGC), which connects with consumers by demonstrating product effectiveness and tangible results.
Overall, it is key for brands to understand their target audience, and from there, evolve with the new market trends that we, as products or services providers, are faced day to day.
E.E: What are the most innovative products/services marketed?
The Pink Stuff is a brand that emphasizes innovation and aims to disrupt the traditional cleaning and household supplies market. Our star product and biggest innovation is the Miracle Cleaning Paste. This multi-purpose cleaner in paste format came to completely disrupt the market of cleaning products with its unique formal and product packaging, making it easier to use and achieve unmatched results.
However, beyond our innovative products and formulas, we have also innovated in the market with our communication style. We go beyond product ads, but we focus on delivering messages to our customers through social media, with content that they can relate to, that motivates them and that inspires to make cleaning more than a task, but an activity to enjoy in the house.
We believe our communication style, the closeness we have with out consumers and audience, are what makes our brand so innovative and dynamic.
