                    * Source: Calculations from PrivCo Private Financial, IBIS World and Market Research.com.




 In 2012 and 2010 the ROMI as a function of revenue stream was near
 80%, covering almost all the marketing investment. In 2011 the situation
 was different with a slight increase on revenues that only covered 33%
 of the marketing expenses incurred in 2011.

 Evaluating the ROMI as a function of the net income (profits) stream,
 Redbull’s incremental change in profits covered almost 5% of the total
 marketing expenses incurred in 2012 and 2010, but only get to cover
 approximately 2% of 2011 marketing efforts.

  4. Maturing Market: High number of competitors (100+/200+). However, the energy drink market is dominated by Red Bull (70‐90% market share in 100+ countries)Real competitors are Coca Cola & Pepsi in the Beverage IndustryDifficult industry to penetrate.Cheap to enterCrowded (100+ competitor)Distribution channels & Retail: PushConsumers: do not influence selling price, they pay premium (XX%).http://fc08.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/196/f/9/Red_Bull_Tornado_Sailing_by_HellDard.jpg----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Now let’s have a look at the competition space: ***CLICK***We have determined that the Buyer Bargaining Power is low.<Distribution => Push> and our consumers do not influence on pricing, they are currently paying a premium of XX% profit margin. ***CLICK***TheSupplier Bargaining Power is also low since non of the main ingredients for Red Bull drinks are proprietary. ***CLICK***The Rivalry among the industry competitors depends on scope. If we are just considering the energy drink space, then it’s low. Because even though there are 100+ direct competitor in this space, the vast majority are not a real threat. Our market share is 70-90%. On the other hand, the competition rivalry is high when considering the soft drinks industry where Red Bull competes with 200+ firms, including Pepsi & Coca Cola, who are believed to be the competitors of the firm. Therefore, we have determined that the overall risk of competition is medium. ***CLICK***The Threat of New Entry is medium because while it is very difficult to penetrate the energy drink market that is dominated by Red Bull, it is relatively cheep to start your own product ($XX,XXX) and therefore there’s a 100+ competitors as mentioned earlier. ***CLICK***Threat of Substitutes is a concern because of the emerging trends that are directly catered to our targeted customers. Organic and non-caffeinated energy drinks are examples of such trends and its believed that additional trends will emerge. ***CLICK***----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------References:<financial sheets & profit margin><100+ direct competitors – energy drinks space><200+ indirect competitors – soft drinks space><avg price of starting a PL energy drink><organic & non-caffeinated>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For example, it priced itself high and picked bars as its initial PoS which made it unattractive for its main competitors, Pepsi & Coca Cola. In addition, its also the executed highly praised promotions, marketing campaigns, and sponsorships (e.g. F1, Felix, …etc.) all with laser focus on their targeted CS. As a result ***CLICK*** they entered an industry where top firms were seeking revenue maximization ***CLICK*** and prospered by charging premium markups and demanding profit maximization.Weaknesses:Taste – controversial taste, but this is said to be part of their (deterring) strategyNarrow Products Line– relying on a single product with variants in size and ingredients, yet competing among the soft drink industry. Marketing Expenses – are high ($XXm).<consider comparing metrics with competitors> <over-segmented> <blinders???>Opportunities:Production Line Extension – Red Bull has the opportunity to expand the length & breath of its line to include new products that speak to its positioning (e.g. smaller can similar to 5-Hour Energy & energy bars, respectively)Diversify PoS– As Red Bull has acknowledged, they can expand its Points of Sale (PoS) to include vending machine.Growth – as mentioned earlier.Threats:IPP - Lack of Intellectual Property protection on Red Bull’s recopies means that they could eventually be copied by competitors (ingredients are clearly labeled on can). Health Concerns – Public criticized for health concerns. Experts fear that the drink could be potentially deadly when combined with alcohol or when drunk after strenuous exercise. Some countries/jurisdictions have banned it due to concern with high caffeine concentrations (e.g. France & Denmark).Shot Energy Drinks– are a direct threat as they are competing directly <why did it not work for Red Bull’s attempt?>Soft Drink Industry Trend – is decreeing a X%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------References:<category creator><excess cash><RB marketing review/analysis><shot energy drinks><decreasing soft drink industry><health concerns>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  6. Price: Premium pricing strategy. $1.99 per 8 ounce bottle, compared to same price for Monster 16 ounce. Redbull have successfully avoid a Price War and continues to owns for approximately 40% of the energy drink market.Product: Different taste, with functional qualities. Increases metabolism, provides taurine and other “brain-enhancing” ingredients, provides Vitamin B, provides caffeine. Redbull in its roll of Energy Drinks Market Pioneer capitalized on developing this attributes valuation.Placement: Bars, convenience stores, supermarkets. Redbull approach have been to make their cans available in as many points of sales as possible and capitalized the brand awareness they have develop.Promotion: Targeted push-marketing and giveaway products at Redbull sponsored events, but clearly concentrated into getting the Brand in the mind of all their potential customers and Pull them to look for and try the product.In line with current strategy, but opportunity to grow into new/different segments.
