Davies Hall adds colour to Boots haircare range

Boots the Chemists will unveil revamped packaging for its entry-level hair colourants range this week, designed by Davies Hall.

The consultancy has created the sub-brand Colour to replace the existing Simply Natural brand, in addition to repackaging the 25-strong product range.

Colour competes against other retailers’ entry-level products rather than designer brands. The company is looking to differentiate the product in a crowded market place, says Boots hair colour product assistant Jane West.

‘We were looking for standout in the market and a general modernisation of the pack,’ she says. Davies Hall creative director Robin Hall says the existing packaging was seen as ‘old fashioned’ and the consultancy was briefed to attract a younger, more modern audience.

‘We’ve aimed for a classless position. It’s clearly a step up the ladder [from where it was before], but its not an expensive or upmarket positioning,’ he says.

The consultancy, which is on the Boots roster, was appointed to the project in August.
