Considering that a consumer usually buys a new shower every 10 years, that’s why we assume that Aqualisa’s shouldn’t target the final costumer but the plumber that buys and installs 45 showers a year, making them a crucial piece that influences the Quartz sales. Aqualisa, developed a new and revolutionary product in the shower industry, the Quartz, based on the beliefs that the main problems with the shower industry in U.K. came from the poor-to-low water pressure and the frequent fluctuation on water temperature in the shower.

Major Problems/Themes The two major problems/themes in this case study are the following: • Environmental issue – formaldehyde In the 1980s, Danish authorities passed regulations to define limits for formaldehyde emissions permissible in building products. IKEA products emitted more formaldehyde than was allowed by legislation and due to the publicity of the issue, its sales dropped 20% in Denmark. IKEA passed on stringent requirements regarding formaldehyde emissions to its suppliers and found ways to reduce formaldehyde off-gassing in its products through collaborations with companies.
