Five Strategies

CHAPTER 5
We shine a light on the The Five Strategies used today in food & health marketing around the world:

Leveraging hidden nutritional assets
New category creation
New segment creation
Category substitution
The functional foods make-over

Knowing which of these most relevant to your business – and how you can follow it – is a powerful tool for success. Each is described, with detailed examples, and its strengths and weaknesses laid out in an easy-to-follow format.

The Four Success Factors

PART 2

Part 2 deals with brand development, and how to connect to consumers’ needs and perceptions.

CHAPTER 6
Chapter 6 introduces The Four Factors of Success,a practical check-list for developing and positioning brands with health benefits:


1. Need the product
2. Accept the ingredient
3. Understand the benefit
4. Trust the brand

The first success factor focuses on the lifestyle needs of the consumer and how the food or beverage meets their needs – aside from its health benefits. Does it stack up against the competition?

The second success factor addresses how much consumers accept or understand your ingredient.

The third success factor deals with whether consumers understand – or feel they need – the health benefit you are offering.

The fourth success factor deals with the brand – the key to why some functional products work – and some do not.
