COMPANY DESCRIPTION
From 1983 in Santa Monica we started this company with two goals in mind;
sustainability and good health. We wanted a product that was good for both the earth and
the body. Through the years, we have kept these goals in mind. From teaming up with The
Rainforest Alliance to help better the environment such as waste reduction and wildlife
refuge to loading our product with fruits and minerals to make sure we’re giving the body
Through the years we have faced scrutiny and have made changes because of it.
The most prominent change that has been made and needs to be addressed is the
labeling due to the recent lawsuit. “The ‘all natural’ claim on our label described the fruits
and vegetables in the bottle—not the vitamin boosts added to some Naked beverages.
Naked juice and smoothies will continue to be labeled "non-GMO," and until there is more
detailed regulatory guidance around the word “natural” —we’ve chosen not to use “All
Natural” on our packaging.” Because we have decided to not use “all natural” on labeling,

SITUATION ANALYSIS
In the article “Is This the End of the Soft-Drink Era?” it stated that PepsiCo’s has
really tried to drive the Naked Juice brand, which rose 25% last year and has created joint
ventures with Lipton and Starbucks. It has become a new age for soda companies to find
alternative drinks, specifically healthier choices, to stay competitive in the current market.
Economic
rates and a more competitive job market, it is essential for Naked Juice to be placed at the
right price to maintain the public opinion of high quality at a reasonable and affordable
price. The new target market being college students 21-23 years old, it is important to be
An economic benefit of a younger target market is the longevity in the age group
than a higher demographic. In a sense, the juice will grow with them, even though the
target market will stay the same. Starting product recognition and purchasing at a younger
age will provide a slow increase in revenue over the years because there will be continual
supply of individuals hitting the target market and growing with the product.

SITUATION ANALYSIS
Social/Cultural
America has been struggling with fighting obesity and diabetes, which can be
attributed to the unhealthy dietary choices being made in the last decade. Now the nation
is on a new rampage to fight this on going problem and direct the nation into a healthier
lifestyle. Due to the cultural and social changes in individuals being more conscious about
the things they consume, has helped place Naked Juice in the perfect market for
consumers needs to be healthier but still maintain a fun and tasty lifestyle.
Further, the youth of today is leading the campaign for a healthier life, especially in
the west coast. Naked Juice has already established a great positioning in this general
location with its main distribution areas being in Los Angeles, Sacramento, and Seattle.
Beyond that, a healthy lifestyle is now becoming synonymous with a higher class lifestyle.
Having the target market being in the age group of college students is a great position for
the company because these are the individuals striving for this high position within society

SITUATION ANALYSIS
Technological
Naked Juice has an opportunity with their new Millennial demographic and it being
the social media era to direct their campaigns online. This could not only help save the
brands image, but also develop customer relationships and loyalty to the brand by being
more interactive and having a bigger online presence. Also, nutritional information is so
readily available due to smart phones and such, that exposing Naked Juice in a healthy
light once again, and taking out the organic idea, will help bring back customers lost by the
scandal.
Political/Legal
Naked Juice has just filed a $9 million settlement for having false advertisements on
their products. Not only did their legal troubles of false representation of a product, but
the company has also lost face due to the bad publicity the legal troubles facing brand.

SITUATION ANALYSIS
Competitive Environment
Naked Juice’s top three competitors are Dole Food Company, Inc., The Coca-Cola
Moving forward PepsiCo is the owner of the Naked Juice brand, and its competition
from the soda market is transitioning with them to the juice market. For instance Coca-
Cola bought out the brand Zico which is coconut water and has even started to buying a
stake in Core Power a workout recovery shake. PepsiCo’s has really tried to drive the
Naked Juice brand which rose 25% last year in growth, and creating joint ventures with
Lipton and Starbucks. In the current market because the consumers are “turning to water,
energy drinks and coffee instead” of soda, the big companies like Coca-Cola and Pepsi are
PepsiCo has other drinks within the market including: tropicana, pepsi soda,
gatorade, starbucks frappuccino, SoBe lifewater. Even though all the myriad of brands
within the PepsiCo company are within the beverage market, they are all placed differently
so as not to compete with each other. Naked Juice’s stance within the competitive market

TARGET MARKETING
From a broad perspective, our Naked Juice campaign’s general target market is a
college student. To effectively market to this large market, it’s crucial that we segment the
these established market segments, we can tailor marketing efforts towards each defined
segment, ruling out the option of mass marketing approach. It is our intention to deliver
our value proposition according the characteristics of each segment and to create a
consistent product position among the general span of college students across the nation.
DEMOGRAPHICS
Geographic’s
When formulating a marketing structure, we start with the largest segments and work our
way down. For the sake of the campaign, the geographic market we will be targeting are
states with warm weather that allows for year-round outdoor activity. Due to the warmer
temperatures, consumers will be seeking a healthy drink to quench their thirst while
outside and a solution to make a fruity alcohol drink without all the fuss of a
blender. Year round warm weather allows for year round targeting to the senses and

Education
Following the warmer state geographic segmentation, our marketing efforts will be further
refined based off of current educational status. More specifically, our target market is a
student currently attending college. We decided upon the college audience for a couple
of reasons. First, we can play of the stereotypical college activity of partying. With this
portrayal of partying is the prominent presence of alcohol and heavy drinking. This allows
us to be a piece of the college party puzzle while providing a healthy solution. Next, a
common theme among the college atmosphere is that of sexualized situations and
themes. To be blunt, sexuality is a part of the college experience and it’s something that
many can relate to. Furthermore, sexual themes maintain a strong emotional place in the

NAKED PRICING
Due to Naked Juice’s targeted demographic, our prices must reflect the expenses of
a college student. The best way to access this target market would be to use a market-
penetration pricing strategy. College students fall into a very price sensitive market. Due
to Naked Juice’s widespread distribution, high demand, and low cost of producing, our
pricing objective best fits a volume objective. Naked Juice will price their products lower,
opting for lower profit margins, and pursue a higher volume of sales with this approach.
The Price-Size Distribution Chart below illustrates how naked juice will be priced:
These prices reflect reasonable beverage item prices for our target market. College
students will be able to enjoy Naked Juice regularly without breaking the bank. Naked Juice
also plans to offer more frequent discounts that coincide with our target market. For
example, Naked Juice will be doing a ‘Thirsty Thursday’ discount price that will be offering
any size of Naked Juice at 25% off. Naked Juice also plans on partnering with college bars
and other beverage companies to offer Naked Juice at a discount when purchased with a
different product. This type of discount reflects a bundle discount pricing strategy.

NAKED PRODUCT
Although Naked Juice’s lawsuit will ban it from using certain “Organic” labels on their
bottles, Naked Juice still prides itself on being a healthy, natural beverage. Our labels clearly
state to the consumer how much fruit is in each bottle of our juice. Naked Juice also includes
vitamins outside of those included in the fruits. One bottle of Naked Juice can provide many of
the vitamins that one needs in a day. Our largest value proposition for our integrated
marketing campaign will be directed towards the fruit and vitamin quantity in each bottle. With
each bottle represented by physical numbers of each piece of fruit, we can effectively
promote the fruit fortified alcoholic beverage. Naked Juice also offers a wide variety of flavors
and kinds of Naked Juice, also offering more vegetable-based options and whey protein
options. Our product is inexpensive and an easy way for on-the-go college students to make
sure that they are getting the servings of fruits and vegetables that they need in a day. The

finds its roots in small-scale production, distribution, and sale with the Naked Juice Beverage
Company, based in Santa Monica, California. Naked Juice began as a product sold from its
inventor’s home, which gives the brand organic and natural credentials. The name, Naked
Juice, gives in to a memorable and highly differentiated name, allowing for incredible branding
capabilities. Playing off of the “Naked” brand gives us flexibility when marketing to college
students. The word “Naked” is memorable and edgy, perfect for our target market. This name

NAKED DISTRIBUTION
The Naked Juice supply chain begins with its upstream partners. Naked Juice sources
its supplies through upstream partners like vegetable and fruit farmers, bottling companies,
and food additive distributors. Naked Juice designs their bottles to be square, which helps fit
more bottles in shipments and allow for more facings in stores. Naked Juice sources its
bananas through The Rainforest Alliance, a nonprofit organization that helps preserve
biodiversity in the rainforests and promote sustainable practices for farmers. Naked Juice’s
plant in California is fitted with solar panels, which help the company cut energy costs.
Naked Juice’s downstream partners include distribution centers across the United
States, Canada, and the U.K. that deliver the product to retail stores. Naked Juice’s demand
chain shows that Naked Juice is most popular in the United States, and most specifically the
west coast. Naked Juice has several distribution plants located between Seattle and Los
Naked Juice connects with its customers through a mixed array of distribution
channels. Naked Juice can be bought in a regular retail setting, in which the retailer picked up
Naked Juice from a wholesaler. Naked Juice can also be bought by customers from
wholesalers. We also offer online orders from our customers. Via our “Naked Juice Online
Store Locator”, customers can find the closest retailers of Naked Juice in their immediate area.
To promote the new Naked Juice marketing plan, the company will include more
college towns and universities to its list of retail intermediaries. This strategy will boost the
probability of our target market seeing our product offered for sale. Naked Juice uses
exclusive distribution, as not all stores carry the Naked Juice product line. Naked Juice will
begin to offer its product at intermediaries like college bars, grocery marts, liquor stores, and

Event Sponsorship
For our Naked Juice marketing campaign, we felt there was no better event to sponsor
than that of the 2014 ASU Undie Run. The event was created in 2008 at ASU and boasted
an attendance of 5,000 students. In 2013, the event drew over 15,000 runners and
resulted in over 4.52 tons of clothes being donated. The concept is simple: students show
up to the event starting location on the last day of classes, remove all clothes besides their
underwear, and run the selected course all for a good cause. All removed clothes is
donated to those in need of clothing. To build off of our campaigns theme, “Get Naked,”
this event aligns perfectly with our message, reinforcing our edgy brand while creating

Press Release
Historically speaking, press releases are very boring and dry. The traditional approach
towards these press releases will not be effective among our target market prompting us
to turn the tables. The press release will include alcohol recipes that include Naked Juice
as the main mixer. The release will focus on the fun side of the drinks while also
highlighting the health benefits of the combination. As our target market is accustomed

brand ambassadors inside the retail locations providing free samples on select days, and
free, edgy signage throughout the retail locations. We want to provide our retailers and

EVALUATION&CONCLUSION
EVALUATION
In order to ensure our new marketing strategy is successful we will have continual
evaluation of the changes being made. Our objective is to increase sales by 5% in 2014.
This means by December 31, 2014 we should see that increase in the financial
statements. This gives us a full year to make this strategy successful after we launch it in
the beginning of December 2013. To maintain continual evaluation we will hold monthly
reports on the changes in sales and the implementations of the new marketing strategy
that has taken place. This will help us maintain growth and make adjustments if need be.
CONCLUSION
Based on all the variables looked at, this new direction for Naked Juice will be successful in
the long run and take the company to the next level within the current market. With full
support from executives for the marketing team, this new marketing plan should go off
without any major hitches and really strike the market when hot.
