I. Executive Summary Zest-o, on its 26 years of existence penetrated the local juice drink manufactured in 1981 by contract of licensing. They are now the number one juice in the industry capturing 80% of the market share nationwide. The primary targets of Zest-o are children aging five to twelve years old. They are the main and frequent consumer of the product while the secondary targets are the parents and who consume less than the primary target. We recommended one new product for Zest-o Corporation, “ZESTEA”. Zestea is proposed to target those who love to drink iced tea in a more affordable way. And it also adds new variety to consumer’s choice. Due to the in demand approach of consumer to iced tea flavor, we make it easy for them to have this iced tea instant drink that can be bought anywhere, anytime at its low cost and may enjoy the refreshing taste that suits for all at the same time. Zesto Corporation will try to keep hold of their lead as the number one juice dink in the upcoming years. They will try to increase their sales by distributing their products more and come up with new strategies. Through this they would be able to gain more customers and attract new ones. II. Current Marketing Situation Analysis A. Industry Study: Fruit Juices The juice industry (those using natural or artificial fruit flavors) posted dramatic growth in the past five years. With the consumers becoming more health and budget conscious as well as improved distribution to the rural areas, the demand increased.

3 Guided by the company’s philosophy of producing quality products at an affordable price and making it available to the most number of consumers, the

company has successfully diversified into other products. With its vision in mind, Zest-O Corporation has ventured in different product categories over the years. It has successfully entered each product segment both in terms of sales volume and patronage.

It has also ventured in the carbonated drinks market. Producing standard classics comparable to the leading brands at the same time introducing new age drinks using indigenous raw materials.

The group thinks that the Zest-O orange juice drinks are for ages 5 and above since the product is a food and belongs to the convenience goods. But it has been observed by the group that the main focus of the Zest-O orange juice drinks are for ages 5-12. Most mothers buy these orange juice drinks for the “baon” of their kids. 5 C.

Product Development/ Innovation Program Unique Selling Proposition For all individuals, Zest-O is the most affordable ready to drink juice that offers high quality and gives you the vitamin A and C.

Packaging Old Product

9

The packaging of the Zest-O orange juice drinks provides promotion of the products through the labels found on it. These labels include the brand name, the logo, the image of the oranges (tells what flavor the juice drink is), the manufacturer, the expiration date and the bar code (speeds up the transaction process). The text, “Twenty five years Masarap Kasama”, is printed in the upper left side of the package where it informs the buyers, even the whole market about its success in surviving the competition in the market. The vitamins present and natural orange juice content (With Vitamin A&C, contains natural orange juice!) boldly printed in the pack of the juice gets the attention of buyers, specifically parents for their children to benefit from it. The chart of nutrition facts can be read at the back of the Zest-O orange juice foil pack that notifies consumers about the content of the juice. The package also serves as protection for the Zest-O orange juice drink. When these orange juices are shipped, they are placed in a rectangular box (10 pieces per 1 box). The boxes protects the Zest-O orange juice foil packs during shipment, furthermore the boxes make it easier for storing the product in bundles. Figure y shows the shipping package of the Zest-O orange juice drinks. With regards to the packaging of a single Zest-O orange juice drink, the foil pack or doy pack preserves the flavor of the juice thus prevents it from spoiling. This type of packaging also prevents the juice from leaking out from the package. The foil pack is very adaptable to every movement that it doesn’t break easily because it is flexible yet strong enough. The enhancements added to the product by the packaging are 1) its recyclable feature (both the foil pack and the rectangular box), 2) its quality check, 3) its flexibility which allows the orange drink to be easily squeezed out from the package when drinking, 4)the non-toxicity of the foil and 5) its ready-to-drink feature. Like other products, the Zest-O orange juice drinks are packaged into 4 types: primary, secondary, shipping and label packaging. The primary package of the Zest-O orange juice drink is the foil inside the doy pack since it is the package that immediately envelopes the orange juice drink. The foil inside is non-absorbent so the orange juice drink does not spill out. The foil also prevents the orange juice from losing its flavor and from spoiling. Figure z shows the primary package of the Zest-O orange juice drinks. 10

The secondary package of the Zest-O orange juice drinks is the doy pack or foil pack itself which is the outer covering into which the primary package and the orange drink is placed. The secondary package (the foil packs) serves as physical protection of the product. The shipping package of the Zest-O orange juice drinks is the rectangular box in which 10 pieces of the Zest-O orange juice drinks are placed. Without this rectangular box, it would be difficult to ship and store these orange juice drinks. The rectangular box also makes it easier to store the products and it also serves as additional protection of the foil packs. As seen in both figure y and z, both packages contain similar labels. The labels consist of the product design, color, weight, contents, product usage, logo of the brand name, the name of the manufacturer, the expiration date and other details about the product (ingredients, nutritional information and etc). Figure xx shows the labeling of the Zest-O orange juice drinks. The product design refers to the overall appearance and shape of the package. The product design of the Zest-O orange juice drinks is innovative due to the use of doy packs or foil packs. It is shaped like two slanted parallelograms joined together with an oval-shaped base. An image of the fruit that represents the flavor of the juice drink also makes the appearance of the product more attractive. The foil pack contains two distinct colors: the front side is colored blue and the back side is colored silver. The brand name, brand logo, the ingredients, the bar code and the product features (natural orange juice and with vitamins A and C) are located at the front side of the package. Also, the weight of the package which is 200 ml can be found at lower left corner of the package. The manufacturer, brand name, brand logo, the expiration date, the nutritional facts and other product features (recyclable, quality check) are located at the back side of the package. New Product

The new packaging of Zestea will still be in doy pack form, but it will be more comfortable to use by the customers, because of its aluminum foil like in tetra pack which in the inserted part of the package, and it also will be more eye-catching to the people due to its attractive color C.
