INTRODUCTION:

WHY FRUIT JUICE?

The consumer preference in India is shifting towards health, natural food products, and the demand for non-carbonated drinks is accelerating. People are turning more health-conscious; therefore the fruit juice segment has become one of the fastest and most popular and most rapidly growing businesses of the time.

In the face of increasing competitors, companies are redesigning the packages that they offer their products. At the same time, safety, long shelf life, convenience, and economic viability are also important considerations.

MY PRODUCT:

The name of my product is fruit bonanza. This reflects the goodness of so many fruits in the juice. This gives the idea of the fruit juice being fresh, appetizing, and delicious. I chose this name because bonanza means a large amount of something desirable, and my product contains a large number of fruits.

VARIETY OF PRODUCTS:

1. Mix fruit bonanza
2. Crispy apple bonanza
3. Sweety mango bonanza
4. Tangy orange bonanza
5. Nourishing grape bonanza

LOGO:

A logo is a combination of text and visual imagery that serves two purposes. It tells people the name of the company and it creates a visual symbol that represents your business. Some logos have powerful symbolic associations connected to people’s memory.

A logo is important because:

• Reveals your identity
• Distinguishes you from the competitors
• Facilitates brand loyalty
• Can be everywhere
• Invites new customers to get to know you

LABELING:

The display of information about a product on its container, packaging, or the product itself is known as labelling. For several types of consumers and industrial products, the type and content of information that must be imparted by a label are governed by the relevant safety and shipping laws.

Six qualities of a label design:

• The right material
• Colour that pops
• Great graphics
• Supershape
• Fabulous finish
• Readable, eye-catching fonts

UNIQUE SELLING PROPOSITION:

With so many businesses offering the same type of product and services, you can only win over your competitors if your offer is available for the particular time and there is not- or if your product or service offers something that theirs does not. This is what we call a unique selling proposition or USP. Essentially, a USP is a summary of features that make your business unique and valuable to your target market. It tells your target customers that your company offers more value compared to other brands in the market.

• Branding promotes recognition.

GRADING

Grading is a process of sorting individual units of a product into well-defined classes or grades of quality. The goods are graded or sorted out into different lots by the specified standards. The established standards lay down the grade of the product. In the case of manufactured goods, goods can be of uniform quality but agricultural products like fruits and vegetables, etc, vary in quality; therefore, classes or grades of quality are set and different units of the products are sorted into the established standard grades. Standardization means that good is of specified and uniform quality.

PACKAGING:

Packaging refers to the process of designing packages such as containers, wrappers, etc. There are levels of packaging.

1. Primary packaging: it refers to the product’s immediate package. In certain cases, such packets are retained until the consumers are ready to use the product.
2. Secondary packaging: it is the additional packaging given to a product to protect it.
3. Transportation packaging: refers to packages essential for storing, identifying, or transporting.

CHANNEL OF DISTRIBUTION:

The distribution channel is a chain of business or intermediaries through which a good or service passes until it reaches the end consumer. It can include wholesalers, retailers, distributors, and even the internet itself. Channels are broken into direct and individual forms, with a “direct” channel allowing the consumers to buy the products from the manufacturer, and an “indirect” channel allowing the customers to buy the goods from a wholesaler or retailer.

TRANSPORTATION:

Transportation means the physical movement of goods from one place of production to the place where they are required. An insulated truck will be used as a means of transportation. An insulation truck is required because juice requires a cool place otherwise it can be spoiled.

WAREHOUSING:

As fruit juice has a shorter shelf life it needs to be preserved in refrigerated warehouses. It should be protected from sunlight and heat. Warehousing will play a very important role in pressing juices.
