• Positive attitude towards Smoothies / freshly made natural
juices
• High demand – not saturated / growing market

perceived as healthy fast-food alternative (tourists and
short-/long-term residents)

Main reasons for not consuming:
• Doubts on quality / No confidence in cleanliness
• Too expensive
• Not available (in the variety that I would like them)


Target & Strategy

type of lifestyle. Additionally and as a result of the scarce restrictions that

the tourists that come to city and young professionals that are adopting
new trends”.
