How Can We Attact More American Women to Snus?

[desirexe]

A snus manufacturer just needs to pick a product and market the hell out of it and aim this towards women. They just need to practice sexism just like Skoal and Cope and totally exclude males in all their propaganda. On mailings/coupons, this snus company needs to use catch phrases such as "Some Women smoke, Smart women snus" or start up a site and name it "Snus Sisterhood." Sorry, I just got a coupon for Cope and it had the word "MEN" written all over it and it really pissed me off! I don't use those products, but I sure as hell take advantage of their free gifts and give the coupons away to some 'manly men' dipper friends. BTW - if any of you visit their site, looks like you can get a free stainless steel coffee thermos! I'm still waiting on a leatherman tool!

Perhaps this forum can have a section that welcomes women to snus.

That says it all!
It's politically correct

Tell them it gives them super powers when it comes to laundry.

Ok, that was terrible. I was going to say cleaning, but I do most of that in my house.

I think celebrity endorsement is the key w/ the women. I, for one, think it's sexy as hell for a woman to snus. Mine won't. She still smokes from time to time but won't even try snus or snuff.

Just tell them they are not allowed to snus. They will do it out of spite

You guys make me laugh in almost every thread I read, but this one I feel the need to chime in with a serious answer. I am a female american snuser (former smoker). The two biggest issues are the manly perception and that it is seen like chew.

I find it a little more difficult to find portions small enough to use in public without the lip bulge or the packet hanging below the lip line. This is an important issue for most females. Unfortunately, my favorite Snus is not properly sized, so away from home, I only have Fellinni or the mocca, which are both more mild than I would prefer. I managed to convince one female friend with the oomph. Her paranoia was getting stained teeth. I feel a little guilty now that I convinced several friends (male and female) to start snusing, but now don't know where to buy anything besides the crap Camel stuff.

I started snusing when they changed the paper in the cigarettes. Fighting to keep it lit and have 3x the amount of smoke pour off the end was really cutting into my nicotine enjoyment.

Sorry if I'm rambling. Just waking up after a long night and still not all here yet. Ettan slowly doing his job.
What companies can do: make smaller portions widely available and don't make us go to the dirty tobacco outlet run by the creepy old guy to find snus in limited varieties.
Tell women: Snus smells better in the air and on your breath than smoking; it is NOT CHEW; you do not spit; continue proper dental hygiene and your teeth will not turn brown and fall out; you will breathe easier; it leaves you with the same "full" and satisfied feeling you had with cigarettes; no one will have a clue you are using unless you tell them.

So I'm not the only ChaoticGemini here?!? lol. Welcome to the forum. You might want to try the Northerner brand Wintergreen. They are suprizeingly good tasteing and are minis with 8mg nic.

[Langdell]

Maybe a Virginia Slims style "You've come a long way, baby!" ad campaign.

[sheilalynn]

We just need more pink and purple cans is all...we like pretty things! :-D But in reality, I'm the only female snuser around here and it is kinda lonely. Most do just give an "ewwwwwww, you put that in your mouth!" type of reaction. And about ad campaigns, maybe some tall tanned dude passing by the smoking chick and heading over to the snusing chick would get them thinking ;-)

[ChaoticGemini]

Wow. That explains why your name sticks out in my mind from laughing at some of your posts in other threads.

I've avoided trying any of the wintergreens. I love pepermint, but wintergreen flavor never sits well with me, but I'll keep it in mind. I have a friend I almost have convinced to try snus. I didn't think about the northerner wintergreen it may be perfect for her. Thanks.

Like I said before....I'm available to model for any promotional materials. Would you like me to wear a plastic or rubber outfit?

Lol I could not stop laughing when I read this.

Want to make girls like snus? Easy, it's a simple formula we all know from high school: make the popular girl like you and then all the rest will blindly follow and start liking you as well. JuSt find out who's popular and pay them to publicly announce that they like snus.

Welcome ChaoticGemini,

I notice the sexist posts stopped rather quickly here.

Perhaps you can keep the pressure on here to start a
" Welcome Women Snusers Section."

Glad to hear you were able to stop inhaking tobacco.
