Editor's Notes
Hello and we are founders of Kix 4 Life and we are here to talk to you about our drink invictuz
The Three major players in the UK isotonic sports drink market are Luco, Gatorade and Powerade
94% of the sports drinks types are dominated by these products
Has less toxic sugars than their hypotonic counterparts
K4L are an independent energy drinks brand looking to establish themselves in the energy drinks market, by having a playing image and promoting sport to safe guard the future and present generation through sport.
We looked age which 11+ coz teenagers and younger and older adults tend to be active around that sort of age, which ties in with the next segment for targeting them active cyclists, football players, badminton players and gym goers. It is somewhat similar to the likes of Lucozade and Powerade.
Talk about the benefit.
Looking at how Powerade have used their aggressive advertising campaign to use purchase occasion, likewise Invictuz will follow that type of bench mark set by Powerade.
Again the usage element will be used by K4L to ensure that Invictuz is exposed to the right audience in terms of using medium such as sports websites and sports magazines.
We will look to target 2 segments through the differentiated strategy, because we are looking to aim Invictuz at both the physiographic and the behavioural sides of the market.
We specified the market through age and will utilise intensive distribution to make Invictuz accessible to the retailers and other outlets.
Also our strategy would be to get involved in organising sporting events to raise brand awareness and help the brand of K4L grow.
This is the result of
It will be retailed at £1.10 pen, which is affordable for both the lower class/low income as well as the high income and high class
We are looking to use the strategy of competitor oriented pricing to match our potential competitors such as Lucozade and Powerade.
Refer to the perceptual map, we have positioned ourselves in the premium side of the market, because we want our customers to perceive the drink to be of high quality for the price of 1.10
We have figured out how they would use the isotonic sports, the most popular flavours and the way they want the product to be carried.
