Question

Based on the recommendations, 

  • The health-conscious consumers in the market who regularly consumed energy or sports beverages were prospects for Crescent. Also there was notice a second set of consumer prospect base , those who were health-conscious consumers  who consistently purchased organic and all-natural products. This segment avoided traditional energy and sports drinks due to their ingredients and perhaps because of psychographic positioning that did not resonate with their ideal and beliefs.
  • Crescent can position itself as an organic refreshment and capitalize on the growth of the organic
    food and beverage industry. In 2013, the  launch of “organic beverages” category included carbonated soft
    drinks, coffee, tea, fruit juice, energy drinks, milk, and soy beverages. Organic beverages claimed a
    price premium over conventional beverages of the same variety. PDB can exploit Crescent’s broad appeal with positioning that focused on health, wellness, and natural ingredients. This appeal suggested that various segments valued different attributes:
    refreshing taste, mild energy boost, hydration, and organic ingredients.  Therefore by limiting its positioning to
    just one or two of these attributes, PDB might risk excluding additional, lucrative customer segments, which in every scenario must be avoided.
