The Situation

TastyCo* held the second largest share of the U.S. market of Tummy Ticklers. This had historically not been an attractive category for TastyCo, though it was profitable for competitors.

Sales of Tummy Ticklers had been declining significantly for eight years and profitability was scattered and marginal. The company predicted a continued decline in product profitability.

TastyCo asked Bain to help turn this product into a profitable one.

The Results
