In this statement, Snapple is trying to redefine themselves as a tea beverage to appeal to the health conscious market. The main idea of the statement the health benefits of drinking this beverage such as detoxifying properties. The emotional connection of this statement was very irrelevant to the focus group. Many members recognize Snapple as a beverage that consumes a lot of sugar and unhealthy properties. It was also pointed out, that “Vitamin Water would be chosen over Snapple,” even if Snapple decided to reposition themselves due to the brand original standing in the market. Others however, one did state they would perhaps take action in wanting to learn about what ingredients is Snapple using in order to achieve their goal in this statement. …show more content…
The main idea of this statement is the slogan that Snapple has used, “best stuff on earth.” According to the focus group, this statement was dependable since it is a refreshing beverage and the slogan. However, one member stated, “probably use the best ingredients, but probably don’t… it trash good and that’s all I care about.” The statement was not relevant to many because that reminds them of the brand and how they think of Snapple already as a brand. Snapple is promising them refreshment, however the after taste does not refresh the individual. It was said to be though more of a snack because of the sweeten properties. Actions were likely to be taken because it claims to be made from the best stuff on earth. The focus group pointed out that health wasn’t associated with Snapple, something that taste good …show more content…
The brand has identified themselves as a beverage that contains the “best stuff on earth,” which means any properties that would taste pleasant to the consumer. Members of the focus group stated Snapple was more believable as a brand if they endure their slogan, rather than trying to adapt to the environment around them such as the fitness market. Redefining themselves as a healthier beverage would make them lose creditability since they are known for their sugary juices and teas. On the other hand, the statement regarding energy did appeal to the group significantly. If Snapple decided to create an energy beverage, actions will stated to be taken. Nevertheless, the creditably factor was issue because a member stated to choose a energy drink that’s already in the market over a Snapple because she knows coffee will give her the energy she needs, but doesn’t know the outcomes of Snapple. Clearly, Snapple must classify their brand as a refreshment beverage, along with their slogan, because that is how consumers know the brand and will continue to distinguish it for other beverages on the

In this report I shall be looking at data compiled on the client and using this data I will analyse the market potential and demand for "health drinks" within the United Kingdom. Also I will consider whether it is viable to expand and develop the brand within the market whilst maintaining the socially responsible attitude of the company, in conjunction with the growing health trends and the client's ethical product production.
The company has accomplished this mainly through the development of new formulas of Coca-Cola in order to satisfy the diverse needs of consumers. For example, introducing products such as Coca-Cola Diet, Coca-Cola Zero, and Coca-Cola Cherry has allowed the brand to appeal to new audiences. Coca-Cola Diet has helped the Coca-Cola Company reach out to a middle-aged audience that enjoy the taste of the original beverage, but have specific health concerns. In addition, Coca-Cola Zero was formulated as an option for many young adults and teens that do not desire to consume the amount of calories normally associated with Coca-Cola. The brand has also developed the popular flavor of Coca-Cola Cherry, which is targeted for people seeking a bit of extra flavor added to Coca-Cola. Although this company has developed formulas for beverages that are completely different from the original taste of Coca-Cola, these are among the most
As stated in the case, “the market for energy drinks was growing; between 2010 and 2012, the market for energy drinks had grown by 40%. It was estimated to be $8.5 billion in the United States in 2013 [and] forecasts projected that figure to reach $13.5 billion by 2018” (pg 5). However, much of this market’s revenue -- 85% in fact -- is dominated by five major brands, while the remaining 15% is split between approximately 30 regional and national companies. (pg. 5). With this saturated market, it might not be best for Crescent Pure to enter as a completely new product to the industry, as there is the possibility that it will be squeezed out of the profit shares by more established brands -- especially if it is not properly secure in its identity. In addition, while the market for energy drinks appeared to be growing at an exponential rate compared to the market for sports drinks -- which increased only 9% in five years and would be at approximately 60% of the rate for energy drinks in 2017 (pg 6) -- the consumers appeared to be wary of partaking in the market for several reasons, which would potentially harm the reach of Crescent Pure. These concerns included rising news reports discussing the safety of energy drinks (pg. 5). Taking into consideration the data provided in the case that concerns reasonings of why consumers choose specific drinks over others, there
The soft drink industry in the United States is a highly profitably, but competitive market. In 2000 alone, consumers on average drank 53 gallons of soft drinks per person a year. There are three major companies that hold the majority of sales in the carbonated soft drink industry in the United States. They are the Coca Cola Company with 44.1% market share, followed by The Pepsi-Cola Company with 31.4% market share, and Dr. Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. with 14.7% market share. Each company respectively has numerous brands that it sales. These top brands account for almost 73% of soft drink sales in the United States. Dr. Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. owns two of the top ten brands sold. Colas are the dominant flavor in the U.S carbonated soft drink industry; however, popularity for flavored soft drinks has grown in recent years. The changing demographics of the U.S population have been an important factor in the growing popularity of these flavored soft drinks. The possible impact of this factor will be addressed later in the case.
In this time of changing social attitudes towards health, it is a huge weakness to not offer diet alternatives such as Coca-Cola Amatil has done with Sprite Zero and Diet Sprite.
Younger consumers may not be “brand loyal” so they must be attracted with standout flavors. The taste itself is but one quality considered; texture, visuals, and style are equally important. Younger consumers are “more adventurous than loyal” which means they’re willing to taste non-traditional flavors. Organic, non-GMO, clean labels, and natural ingredients are all innovative trends fueled by millennials. A “back to nature” approach fuels the decision to include honey, maple syrup, and other natural ingredients.
Dr Pepper Company is the oldest major manufacturer of soft drink concentrates and syrups in the United States. Dr Pepper is the company's principal brand. Cadbury Schweppes PLC acquired Dr Pepper/Seven-Up Cos. Inc. in March 1995. The new business will be called the Dr Pepper Company, which will focus on the Dr Pepper brand by handling all beverage system sales, which account for 75 percent of its business, in addition to related independent bottlers. The second operating group will be Cadbury Beverages/Seven Up Co., which will service independent bottlers not carrying Dr Pepper. Dr Pepper/Seven Up soft drink brands now hold about 16 percent of the U.S. market. Dr Pepper and Seven-Up are among the top 10 carbonated soft drinks, with Dr Pepper being the top non-cola soft drink. Other soft drink include: A&W Root Beer, Canada Dry, Schweppes, Welch's, Sunkist, Squirt, Crush and Hires (Levy 1999). According to the soft drink industry report, there is large sales growth recently in non-colas. Dr Pepper was number three in the industry. The reason is because non-colas have above-average caffeine level, and will be aimed at the 12-to 21-year-old market. Obviously, management sees this product as an opportunity to more fully participate in the growing popularity of non-colas.
1.Red Bull differentiates itself in not only the soft drink industry by focusing on energy drinks solely, but also in the business industry, seeing how their strengths, weaknesses, opportunities for improvement, and threats all seem to blur together . The fact that Red Bull is seen as a luxury and sports drink is a strength, weakness, opportunity, and threat within itself (Kansara, 2); being labeled as such sets Red Bull apart from their competitors, pushing them into one field and industry to prosper in and be associated with, leaving them opportunity to determine the way that industry will grow as they are the pioneers but also threatening their hopes for expansion. In a nutshell, in order for Red Bull to truly work towards their mission
Weaknesses – Coca-Cola is a very successful company with an impeccable social media following. Word of mouth is probably a strength, but only when feedback from consumers is positive, but there are people who are against Coca-Cola and their products. Even though Coca-Cola produces over 200 brand products, Coca-Cola lacks the social media popularity of other brands that they produce (Moth, 2013). Many drinks that they produce are extremely popular such as Coke or Sprite, but there are a lot of Coca-Cola products that are unknown, unseen, and unavailable for
This advertisement has a logical appeal to many consumers, because it contains no sugar which many people would assume is a healthy alternative to other soda. It is very logical to consume a beverage that contains no sugar, because sugar is a reason people become over weight and there is enough of it in other products already. Pepsi goes takes the logical approach even further by advertising that the drink still has a great flavor even though it contains no sugar. If they did not ...
“Thirst is Everything, Image is Nothing” we have all seen this slogan slapped on to every one of Sprite’s products for last couple of months. But what does it mean? Does it mean that someone at a Pepsi convention should order a Sprite, a Coke product, just cause they like the taste? Of course not, cause if they did they would get kicked out at the very least. Advertisers use this sort of slogan to catch your attention, and then they have you right where they want. In the most recent Sprite commercials that feature Grant Hill of the Detroit Pistons, they show us that the reason why we would have a Sprite is just for the taste of it. But if this was all they are trying to get across to us wouldn’t it be cheaper and wiser to use a 6 dollar per hour kid rather than a guy that won’t step foot in a place for less that a 100 grand. Why would they make a commercial that contradicts itself? The reason an advertisement would contradict itself like this is for one reason only, to try and fool our wants and desires into becoming our needs.
