Colgate charges about $1.76 for the brush that cost 65 cents to make. That figure reflects advertising and promotion costs. Depending on the brand and type of toothbrush, annual advertising costs can range from $6 million to $17 million. The retailer can mark up a toothbrush 28 percent to more than 40 percent.
The toothbrush consists of a plastic handle and nylon bristles attached to the head of the brush. Contemporary designs offer a variety of styles and shapes in a market that has swelled to $600 million in the mid-1990s, in part because of price increases, but also because toothbrushes are replaced frequently.
