Natureview is looking to increase its revenue by over 50% before the end of 2001 to satisfy investors and make the company attractive for acquisition. It currently sells primarily through supermarkets but faces high costs from broker fees, slotting fees and promotional expenses in that channel. Expanding into natural food stores through a children's multi-pack product line has fewer costs and risks than expanding further into supermarkets, and is aligned with Natureview's brand image and relationships in the natural channel. Financial projections show this third option has the lowest costs and risks of the alternatives.
