DILEMMA's
Transition from Fashion Brand to Life style Brand brought a severe change in the value proposition of Snapple.
•The change in sales channel of Snapple, lead to the disturbance in supply chain of the company.
•It was now with the Triarc to revive Snapple’s image and tackle with other competetive brands.
MARETING STRATEGY
Triarc named Mike Weinstein as CEO of its beverages division and
Ken Gilbert as senior VC of marketing to access the Snapple’s
situation and set priorities to revitalize the brand.
The study made by Deustch inc.(Snapple’s Advertising Agency)
provided Triarc a new track to walk on and revitalize their brand. It
was then they decided to come up with product development in
house rather than going on with the consumer research. They made
product first and then came up with market segmentation.
SOLUTIONS
• They must concentrate on the brand strength ‘Snapple’ .
to come up with new marketing strategy so as to strengthen
the present distribution system of the product.
• Come up with new variants as and when required.
• To come with visible changes in the packaging from time to
time.
• To come up with new offers at the same time maintain the
quality of the product.
• Rather than only focusing towards the youth they should think
of targeting towards other sections of the society also, like
come up with new products for children, old men, athletes etc.
CURRENT SCENARIO
• Triarc sold it to Cadbury Schweppes for $1.45 billion in September
2000. It was spun off in May 2008 to Dr Pepper Snapple Group
Starting in May 2009, Snapple was made with sugar, not high
fructose corn syrup. However, in certain areas, the old Snapple is
being sold in stores, although is becoming more and more rare
• In 2009, a consumer lawsuit was brought against Snapple. The suit
alleges that the manufacturer's marketing use of the words "all
natural" is fraudulent because the drink is made with corn syrup.
The complaint also raises the issue of Snapple drink names
including fruits when the products do not contain those fruits
