16. THE BOTTLER
Sell the project
- Schweppes Antiox is aimed to a need we hadn’t satisfied. Its launch leads
to a higher share of throat and share of customer.
- Helps to develop a channel (Gym) and open new ones (Wellness centers,
healthfood shops).
- Emblematic product to access current non buyers (future opportunity to sell
tonic water and citrics).
- Strong brand support by advertising, refreshing global brand awareness.
- Makes Schweppes brand closer to today’s consumer aspiration and
balances market penetration among women vs men.
- More profitable premium price product (consumer willing to pay up to 1.5 times
the price of a regular drink) for customers and bottler.
- As it completes the brand portfolio it reduces logistics costs per case.
