The sporty drink: BIBE The best drink for fitness lovers 1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION In general, it is accustomed that when having a drink, a beer or a wine, no type of benefit is provided to the body, this type of food or drink is called "empty calories" but, what can be done if you feel like having a good time and being carefree? Or is it that athletes or those who are concerned about nutrition and healthy living cannot do it? In SPORTY DRINK the formula has been achieved so that you can have the whim of having a drink, without having to feel so bad since it contains little alcohol and is full of natural extracts, nutrients, minerals and components that will help improve health.... and the best thing is that for all this, it can be taken after training or exercising! Health and wellness are leading the beverage industry, making it one of the most attractive components for younger generations; Also, after Covid-19 there is an increased health awareness, and the desire for healthy drinks is widening the age range. For example, in the United States, 2020 marks a turning point: the preference for less alcoholic or non-alcoholic quality drinks is beginning to be seen, as alternatives to spirits, and so-called functional drinks are beginning to become popular. The proposed product follows these trends both in the lower alcohol content and in having healthier ingredients with 0% sugars and can also be considered functional since it has the function of replenishing minerals, for example. In other words, it is functional as a drink because, due to its ingredients, it is capable of performing an important "function" for health, different from the nutritional one, and capable of giving beverages the added health value. Our product is a healthy, functional drink enriched with both nutrients and vitamins and with supplements capable of promoting certain physiological functions. Potential consumers will be able to have functional benefits of our drinks: cleaner ingredients, digestive health, more energy, better sports performance. Among its ingredients will have hydrosaline, vitamin and probiotic supplements. 2 SIMILIAR PRODUCTS: COMPETITORS The competitors in the international market for new healthy beverages include, for example, kombucha, a probiotic fermented tea beverage formulated for gut health. Another example is anti-aging collagen water for skin and hair. Beverage companies innovate their range of increasingly healthy products with new ingredients that offer functional health benefits. Consumption is therefore also increasing. There are already numerous studies that certify the increase of competitors of manufacturers of healthy drinks at an international level. According to KPMG Insights, the global healthy and functional beverages market size will reach $ 208.13 billion by 2024, with a CAGR (compound annual growth rate) of 8.66% during the period 20192024. Drinks such as Recess, Dram, California Dreamin and Kin Euphorics already achieved huge sales and consumption success in 2019 and could become popular alternatives among young people who want a healthier life without giving up having fun in the coming years. Competitors in Spain are less than at the international level since it is a market yet to be exploited and growing. There are basically two competitors to our drink with similar products in Spain: Felina and Agua Bendita. Felina ●Spain (Barcelona, Madrid) & Portugal 5% Vol alcohol 27 Kcal 0% Azucares añadidos ●11,2K Agua Bendita ●Catalunya & Madrid ●12K 3 PROMOTION ★Strategic alliances: Glovo, Alcampo, El Corte Inglés & Amazon ★Strategic collabs: Jorgescremades ★Consumer community ★Strategic collabs: Tinder ★Point of sales: Bars 4 VALUES The main value that we want to bring to our customers is the concept of an isotonic drink with alcohol but soft, refreshing and healthy.

Since the drink has a very low percentage of alcohol and contains many vitamins and minerals that are good for the functioning of the human body.

It had to be a direct, fun key message that conveyed some gameplay. Finally, after a brainstorming, a play on words was chosen that will be understood in Spain and throughout South America. Having a key message is very important as people will relate it directly to the brand. Maybe some people don't give so much importance to this aspect but many customers are not only interested in the product, but also in the recognition of the company and the values it transmits. We believe that having a key message brings us advantages such as: Customer loyalty: To gain customer loyalty you have to let them know that you know them and that your brand has something in common with them. Market segmentation: You can convey many characteristics through your brand. That is why it is necessary to have an identity, because this helps you segment your market. You will attract only those consumers who are really interested. Brand consistency: If you create a well-structured brand you will be more efficient and effective when offering your products/services. In turn, this will help you generate customer trust and satisfaction because you met their standards. And optimize the way you show yourself on the web and social networks. Brand value: By having a solid brand identity, it becomes a valuable asset. If the strategy is good enough, consumers will feel connected. Over time they can become ambassadors in your community, and will volunteer to offer your products to their contacts. Our key message is the following: Whoever drinks sports drinks does not "drink": BIBE BIBE LIFE! QUIEN TOMA SPORTY DRINK … NO BEBE: BIBE ¡BIBE LA VIDA! The key message refers to a healthy and vital idea that changes young people's drinking habits. With this message it is necessary to understand the change in consumption habits when young people go out. With this new drink they don't “bebe” but “bibe”. The chosen key message conveys the healthy and vital ingredients that the beverages will contain. Bibe la vida will be an invitation to drink healthy, so that in each glass you drink there is little alcohol and many positive nutrients. Bibe la vida also plays with a very popular phrase used throughout the Hispanic sphere: to live life is to enjoy is to have fun and it is even used as drinking life in one drink. For non-Spanish speaking markets, it would be necessary to think about whether to keep the phrase and export the word game explaining it or if another key message is invented with another word game. A first proposal would be not to drink but to prink. Prink the life. (To prink, pinchar, picotear) We believe that this key message BIBE LA VIDA is a success also because after the pandemic that has been experienced, the restrictions, the confinements, the lock down, an open up is needed. Our message addressed to young people is this: in the face of death and the illness that has been experienced by Covid19, learn to enjoy the gift of life, having healthy fun. 8 HOW DO I DELIVER MY MESSAGE? The main idea of delivering our key message is to spread it all the way. The main way we are going to follow when spreading our message is to look for where our target is and once found, find a way to reach it. As we have said previously, our target is between 18 and 25 years old, so we will spread our key message according to the tastes and needs of this type of people. When we think about how to spread our key message, we consider that although the online option is chosen by many, we do not want to abandon the traditional, and we believe that offline marketing is also very important. We have decided, therefore, that we will develop online and offline campaigns. How will we do it? If we talk about offline, we refer to the traditional media, such as radio, television, word of mouth...etc. Therefore, we would like to create a campaign starring people like the ones we have defined in our target, brave people who dare to try new things. Once we have defined these points, we believe that having a well-known person who likes our idea could help us, since it would give us a huge visibility, it would be people who love sports, healthy life, and we would like to have people like Rafael Nadal or Cocó Constance, they are profiles of sporty people, but also fun people who know how to have fun, and what better way to have fun than accompanying the moment with our new drink? Rich, with beneficial contributions for the body and with the perfect sparkle. We would transfer all of the above to radio spots, TV commercials, street posters and even promotional events. In addition, we would contact the most innovative restaurants, as well as supermarkets, where we would later introduce our drink. As for online marketing, we would carry out an advertising campaign mainly on social networks, as it is the main tool of the people we have targeted and it is where we will surely achieve the most success. Instagram: Generation of the account, search for followers. We would extend Rafa and Coco's campaign to the social networks, spreading the videos through the account or even consider them as brand ambassadors and have them advertise on their own accounts, where they have a lot of followers, on a regular basis. Twitter: Upload tweets prior to the launch of the drink, using the storytelling tool, generate hype among users, create attractive multimedia content for the public so that they are eager to try our drink and we can generate engagement with them. Facebook: We would use this platform to generate events in which we can invite many people of our interest and who are aware of what is happening within the brand, so that they are updated on all our latest news. Depending on the budget we start with, we could do some things or others, but this is what we would like to do. 9 WHERE DO I DELIVER MY MESSAGE? The idea is to start little by little, first starting with what we know, Madrid. If we see that it is successful, we will expand throughout Spain, later to Europe and then to the rest of the world. Obviously this is a very complicated and slow process. But we are very confident in the idea and we believe that if we ourselves would consume it, why not others? 10 WHEN DO I DELIVER MY MESSAGE ? The time to launch the message will be at the end of May and during the month of June. Because these dates are before summer and it is when the temperatures begin to rise and people need their refreshing drinks after playing sports. For this reason, the months of May and June are key to introducing the message to the public so that the months that need soft drinks the most, our product is consumed.
