Editor's Notes

  • #8 Price distribution range of herbal jelly from 5 different supermarkets
  • #9 Figure 2: Price distribution range of herbal jelly from herbal specialty shops
  • #10 Figure 3: Price of Herbal Jelly relative to position on shelves
  • #15 Describe a little on functional benefits, texture, and packaging before focusing on flavours. From market survey we have found that they are quite standard.
  • #16 Others: Chinese tea, bubble tea,bandung
  • #17 Others: rosella, flower teas such as rose and lavendar
  • #18 We evaluated the ideas based on their feasibility and potential for further development. First we have the bread and butter quadrant
  • #19 Here we have the gui ling gao… . From our market survey we have found that these products are already available in the market and is very common among similar brands
  • #20 Next we have the ideas which are white elephants; these are not too feasible as 8 treasures tea is too expensive and the form of consumption of pi pa gao should not be in jelly form
  • #21 Oyster quadrant we have some of the asian drinks; these are good ideas for the flavour of the jelly, but there is no guarantee that consumers would not prefer them in drinks form
  • #22 Chinese and floral tea fits both the asian drinks and TCM criteria; Matcha is popular among the younger consumers; potential for further expansion of the jelly flavours range
  • #23 Based on the pearl quadrant, we have come up with three broad flavour categories, i.e. …. . We feel that these flavour categories can fulfill the requirements of asian drinks and TCM in a broad sense. Several flavours can actually fit into all three category ; In line with Hockhua’s Image
  • #24 Scored by group members; scoring of ALL ideas from brainstorming, not just the pearl quadrants
