Background
|
| |
| Purple Beverage Company, Inc. develops, markets and distributes a line of beverage brands and products. The company introduced its Purple beverage product to market in August 2007, primarily focusing on Manhattan in New York City. Purple has since expanded its geographical territories to include other concentrated metropolitan areas, including Maui, Hawaii, Los Angeles, California and Miami, Florida.
The company's business strategy is to develop and market a unique line of beverage brands and products that will be positioned as a better-for-you beverage targeted to the category of New Age/Functional beverage consumers.
The company's first product, Purple, is a functional beverage that contains a high level of anti-oxidants from seven different fruit sources that are combined to make this product. The seven anti-oxidant-rich fruits combined in Purple's formula are the natural juices of acai, black cherry, pomegranate, black currant, purple plum, cranberry, and blueberry. The company's Purple product is available in health food stores, restaurants, delis, drug stores, supermarkets and convenience stores in select locations. The product is also being served to customers at bars and restaurants.
The company's sales and marketing strategy is to focus efforts on developing brand awareness and trial through sampling both in stores and at events. Purple intends to employ a push-pull promotional and advertising strategy to build brand awareness, generate trial/sampling purchases and gain distribution of Purple. The company's three stage go-to-market approach will first educate the consumer about the product through a combination of advertising and public relations initiatives, then make the product readily available with direct and three-tier distribution, and finally implement programs to motivate consumers to buy Purple.
The company relies on third-party manufacturers to produce its products, using its proprietary formula and flavor ingredients. Purple obtains the raw materials for the manufacture of its products from several sources and arranges for the direct delivery of these raw materials to the third-party manufacturer, except for acai, which the company obtains from a single source. Purple normally pre-pays for the manufacture and packaging materials. It owns the finished inventory that is shipped to warehouses upon completion. | | History: INCORPORATED in Nevada Apr. 8, 2002, as Red Carpet Entertainment, Inc.
