Capri Sun. A story of success in the beverage industry

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: 2,0, University of Sunderland, language: English, abstract: Capri Sun is engaged in the production and selling of beverage products. It is an established popular juice brand for children. The wide range of brand lines and numerous flavours combined with the easy package makes Capri Sun a handy solution for packed lunches and daily drinks. Capri Sun is being recognised as a yummy juice but not as a healthy drink. Therefore Capri Sun has to change its marketing strategy thus making the consumer aware of the fact that Capri Sun is a healthy drink, too. Consumers have become more health conscious. They are more concerned about calories and are interested in drinks that are convenient and healthy. Within the beverage industry there is a fierce rivalry, which can be assessed in situational analysis. The expected market growth provides Capri Sun further opportunities, which have been developed in the SWOT analysis. It is therefore necessary that all marketing and strategic plans for the engagement in these markets are working flawlessly. But Capri Sun has not been able to achieve the reputation and consciousness by the consumer as a healthy daily drink, yet. With the use of the situational and SWOT analysis recommendations this could be achieved, since the problem areas can be are identified. Capri Sun must rethink its current strategy and products in the market in order to remain one of the most famous drinks in the beverage industry. By implementing more products they can target more consumers. If these new strategies are well thought through they can continue to grow.
