Whether your odor control is achieving a high wash home laundering spec, or whether it is a unique combination of an antimicrobial and odor absorber, you want to build a marketing campaign around it. Identify the performance and competitive advantage this technology brings to your product.

Next, consider utilizing the partner who is supplying you with the odor control technology. They know the ins and outs of the product and how best to market it. One step further, using their brand name in the marketing of the technology can bring a significant amount of credibility to the product in the eyes of the consumer.
