TARGET MARKETING
RJR
cancelled a planned test market of Uptown following a surge
of protest from the African-American community in Philadelphia
and protests from the Secretary of the Department of Health
and Human Services, Louis W. Sullivan, M.D. Uptown was never
put on the market. A unique feature of its packaging was
that the filters were placed at the bottom of the pack.
(1990)
RJR developed Dakota for "virile females". It
was test marketed in Houston. (1990) (Alan Blum, M.D.)
