Downy Celebrates with Consumers the Softness of Their Clothes Through Events and Contests That Will Make Them Dance
To leverage the launch of its SilkTouch technology, Downy
invites consumers to celebrate softness by dancing through Downy events
and the contest Baila Súbele al Suave. A survey commissioned by

of their clothes after being washed.
Among the findings, the survey discovered that 80% of consumers feel
happy while some even feel like dancing when they touch the softness of
their clothes. It also showed that 45% of consumers agree that having
soft clothes is very important for them.
Downy understands softness is an important element for Hispanic
consumers when it comes to their fabric and clothing items, and wants to
celebrate there are different types of softness with Downys SilkTouch
formula, which offers a technology that makes fabrics silky soft so they
glide across the skin.
Downys continuous efforts to respond to the likes and trends of
Hispanic consumers are evident with these celebrations, said Carolina
Rogoll, Downy Brand Manager. We know softness is an important element
for their satisfaction when using a fabric softener and this is why we
are responding with our SilkTouch formula.
