Brita
Brita’s Company Product:
• Brita Pitcher-filter water system Price: $15.16 pitcher system and $4.10 filter
• Brita faucet system Price: $34.99/$39.99 Faucet System
Place: Pitcher system: main health food chains introducing department stores, mass merchandise, grocery stores, club stores, drug stores. (Minimum advertised price). Faucet to be launched.
Promotion: They are very focused in taste for pitcher. It has been a good decision since I think probably to try to find another proposal for purity and health for the faucet system.
Diagnosis: The first question is can we launch faucet system? Or would it cannibalize the pitcher system in which we are the leader? I think we definitely should launch the faucet system it is cheaper so we can access to another segment of customers. Also the faucet could even convince people that regularly drink water directly from the tap, because it last longer, and the cost is lower compared to the pitcher. It even helps the customer get to know Brita and improve taste on water, and even evolution as a Brita customer, first the faucet system then the pitcher.
Then how would we promote the faucet in order to differentiate it from the pitcher? Would the taste be also the main focus on our campaign? Or should we focus on health and bacteria? Even though public is not very aware of the bacteria issues on water.
Another question is to launch the faucet filter with the Brita brand? I think it would be easier to introduce the faucet as part of brita water systems. It would also improve brand image since we will be promoting innovation, and serving other customer’s needs positioning brita as a more complete brand.

    Firstly, the market for the Brita Pour-through system(PT), which is the core product that propelled Brita’s position in the market, has been stagnant since the introduction of alternative sources of filtered systems such as Faucet-mounted(FM) filter and the introduction of bottled water in to the market. With Brita reluctant to explore the alternative options quickly, other competitors such as PUR, have gained a firmer foot-hold in terms of market-share relative to Brita.…

    Furthermore, the company can earn more revenue by selling table-top pitchers than selling faucet mounts, since consumers need to change filters more often than they change the filter for faucet mounts. And the growing concern about the quality of tap water also encourage the company to focus more on table top pitcher, since faucet mounts can give consumers the impression that they are drinking straight from the tap.…

    Germ-Kill Kit Case Study

    In addition, the device had to be fail-safe from a consumer perspective – and so it needed indicator to signal the approaching end-of-life of the consumable refill component (which was subsequently named ‘Germ-Kill Kit’), and also to have an auto-shut off mechanism that would shut the flow of water when the germ-kill power of the consumable refill component was over. Notably, at the time, even premium UV and RO purifiers that were priced at USD 100+ did not have an end-of-life indicator, or a safety auto-shut off mechanism. The product design was further complicated by the fact that a sound understanding of the target consumer had translated into a whole range of ergonomic, aesthetic, and aspiration-related design requirements for the product.…

    Aqualisa: a Better Shower

    • 2365 Words
    • 10 Pages

    The plumbing system in the United Kingdom is very inconsistent due to the varying age of the buildings making shower temperature and pressure challenging to control. Aqualisa designed the Quartz system to address these issues by integrating an electronic controller into the plumbing of the shower unit. After development and field testing, most believed this would take over the market and propel Aqualisa into a powerful position in the shower industry. Unfortunately, sales struggled and many believed the Quartz system would become a niche product selling only to the technological elite. The quick answer would be to more aggressively market the product with hopes that increased exposure to the market would generate greater sales. Thus, the chief problem Aqualisa is experiencing is how to market its new technology and efficiently increase market share in the U. K. shower industry. If the wrong target market is chosen, the money spent in advertising may not be recouped by sales revenues.…

    Aqualisa Quartz is an amazing product, it present innovation to shower market and deals with the temperature and pressure issue presented in other type of showers. Aqualisa Quartz is easy to install, no need of an expert, and also fast, half a day approximately, compared to other installations that can be 2-3 days. Besides they are very reliable, they do not break and do not need high maintenance. However, the product, after the launch, have’t sell as it was expected. The objective for this company is to sell more. As we see, in Exhibit 4, plumbers seem to be our target costumer, they are present in the 73% of shower selection. Even though Aqualisa is perceived as a high quality brand and with good costumer service and is number 3 in brand positioning in showers from all the United Kingdom, they have to differentiate from the competition to conserve its presence in market. Plumbers influence in the costumers choice, this is reflected in the 28% of the costumers end up installing the shower the plumber recommend and in a 25% of the cases, the plumber install a shower without even consulting the costumer, additional to that a 54% of the showers in UK are installed by a plumber. In the shower market, Aqualisa is perceived as a high price product, companies do not innovate and if they to is every 3-4 years, in addition to that people do not rely on new innovations given the fact that not good experiences have come with electrical innovation. The strategy, Aqualisa should implement is to direct the effort to high-standard segment with an innovated product that have a different and elegant designed product. This product should address mainly the plumbers that are interested in increasing their productivity and families with elders or children, whom functionality, innovation and design are important factors to consider. Is important to remember that once the plumbers try the product, have to be fascinated with it. For that reason,…

    One of the key factors that create a demand for bottled water is urbanization. The expansion of cities and industry has led to concerns about water pollution, despite governments promoting the cleanliness and safety of municipal water sources. Additionally, the growth of large metropolitans has caused a shift in our lifestyle. This means we are in a perpetual rush. Bottled water plays a highly utilitarian role by providing a simple solution to both these problems. The popularity of this “solution” is apparent in the $22 billion USD average annual revenue of the industry.…
