Monster Energy, a division of Hansen Beverage Company, was introduced in 2002 and has expanded globally since then, distributing a variety of products in several countries. The company faces competition and health concerns related to its energy drinks but has opportunities for market growth through innovative advertising and eco-friendly initiatives. Proposed alternatives for growth include establishing stores, enhancing recycling efforts, and providing vending machines in colleges, each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

7. S.W.O.T. ANALYSIS

8. Strengths

• Up and growing target market
• Appeals to target market lifestyle
• Endorsements of athletes in extreme sports
(where our generation is taking a liking too)
• Higher reputation
• No worry attitude (Either drink it or don’t. We
don’t care if you don’t like it)

9. Weaknesses

as drugs or, alcohol, can lead to serious injury or
death
• Expensive
– Can lead to an expensive routine
• Chances of Sleep Deprivation

10. Opportunities

• Innovation
– Creating more sub products such as bottled
Monster products, making cans more recyclable
– Popularity could lead to an influence in global
recycling
– Produce energy foods, something similar to a
PowerBar or CliffBar

11. Threats
• Competition
– Growing competition between other producers,
such as RedBull, Rockstar, Nuclear, Nas, Amp,
Bawls

13. 1st Alternative
• We think with the globalization of Monster
and the rise in environmental friendly
revolution in the world, Monster Energy can
be a leader in global recycling.
• Monster could use its popularity among the
younger generation to teach and influence
kids to be leaders in their community by going
green.

14. 1st Alternative Pros
• This idea portrays a valuable image and
encourages people to buy Monster products
and can be assured their money is going to a
company that cares for the environment.
• This is just another positive thing that
Monster can portray and add to their global
image

15. 1st Alternative Cons
• Expensive to run a recycling department
• There is not a good way to be sure that you
would turn a profit with a recycling
department.

16. 2nd Alternative
• Another idea is, Monster could build small
stores that sell Monster energy drinks and
Monster apparel in highly populated areas.

17. 2nd Alternative Pros
• Pros for this idea is that in highly populated
areas there are a lot of kids and young adults
that potentially would purchase Monster
Energy products.
• With a Monster store, Monster would have all
of its products in one place instead of a gas
station where there are all of Monster’s
competition drinks next to Monster Energy
drinks.

18. 2nd Alternative Cons
• It would cost a lot of Money to build a store.
• Also Monster would have to hire more people
to work the store and deliver goods to the
store.

19. 3rd Alternative
• Monster could put up vending Machines in
colleges and give colleges Monster apparel to
give out to the students.

20. 3rd Alternative Pros
• Many students would buy Monster from
vending machines because of the popular
culture that Monster portrays and also
because students would drink it while staying
up late to study.
• Also with Monster distributing apparel to
college students, the students would rep
Monster everywhere they went.

21. 3rd Alternative Cons
• Cons to this idea is that Monster would give
away apparel that they could potentially sell
for a profit.
• Another con is that some students would
protest Monster due to its potential health
issues.
