The harvest is basically a smooth orange juice made with natural orange and is organic, with benefits such as its never sweetened, never concentrated, there are 11 juicy hand-picked oranges in every nursing bottle ,there is 1 portion of proceeds in every 150ml serving. (Also used in this report get out be charmer drinks and it will be part of the market mix)The growth itself is part of the marketing mix because if the product is unique and offers quite a few benefits then it will help the marketers in moveing it, as well the fact that the product has what juice drinkers looking for, for example they will be looking for strong taste, groovy health and part of their five a twenty-four hours including additional benefits such as a good source of vitamin c, all these factors help the product be the best it can be and help it sell in the shelves of supermarkets. PromotionThe promotion of the juice is done in many different ways, one of the most used is advertising but their other forms of verificatory advertising such as sponsorship are also methods of promotion. For innocent the promotion element was very important because they were unknown in the market because they were a raw(a) start-up so they marketed their product quite heavily and managed to get their product into a major supermarket which extended their reach nationally and enabled them to advertise on TV, newspapers and major banners on the superiorways.Eventually all this promotion helped them get to the ? 100million pound turnover that they have today. Over the years their promotion has helped them increase market share and compete with smoothie market leader pj Price The 3 founders of innocent found it surprisingly easy to break into major outlets even though their retail prices were as high as ? 2 for a small, 200 ml bottle. By 2002/2003 sales had risen to ? 10 million a year and the future looked very bright. because things became a bit tougher.The smoothie market had been originate d in Britain in 1994 by a company called PJ. Stung by Innocents success, in 2003 PJ Smoothies were promoted more(prenominal) heavily, stabilising their market leading position. Then the major supermarkets started offering own-label smoothies. With a Tescos own-label bottle at ? 1. 39, it would be much harder to charge ? 1. 99 so innocent had to fight on price with competitors and keep growing but they focused on justifying thus making it a very good product which helped it sell at the high end of the price graph.A pro of having a high price is people automatically assume it is a good brand and this help in the marketing because they are seen as quality providers in public so when innocent launch a cheaper alternative they will not find it difficult to sell to people with tighter budgets. People The people behind the brand are well known in the public, they are two former university students who after leaving university, Richard Reed, Adam Balon and Jon Wright decided to try their own business, selling fresh fruit smoothies. The idea started when they spent ?500 on strawberries and bananas, they went to a festival and got feedback of their smoothies from the public, in the end they got amazing feedback and set up their business so its evident that the people behind the company are aroused about the business and have helped raise funds for the start-up and market the business, also they are famous for creating a very good environment to work in (image below) which helps the people in creativity and work productivity and this is a marketing edge which is used when innocent promote their products, they are very happy to transmit the work environment which innocent provides them.Physical The exterior appearance of innocent packaging is very seductive and overall the company projects a very attractive feel for the organisation, even the headquarter buildings of innocent are very well knowing and the work short letter is very clean and attractive and this proj ects a very good image of the company and in marketing terms a very good proposition to the customer. The logos on bottles is very well designed and the graphic fruit images does not hinder in the marketing mix, the packaging delivers a very fresh and exciting look to the customers as much as the fruits themselves.Place The distribution channel is always very important because we all the marketing in the world if people cant purchase your product then it pretty pointless so its vital that innocent are available in a lot of stores, they are available in tesco, asda and Sainsburys and together these stores have 80% of market share in the UK so in essence they are very well placed and this gives them a marketing advantage. ProcessAlso important is the process in which the apple goes from field to factory, from factory to store and this logistical side of the equation is important because its great to be selling to Tesco, you have to be able to deliver the top quality product promised. So innocent have farms where they produce the fruit also they buy in fruit and transport the products to their production faculty where the smoothies are made and packaged thereafter they are delivered to supermarkets nation-wide, this process helps them get products into place and products to customers quick and effectively.Conclusion During this process of writing this marketing mix, I have realized that the marketing mix is inter-linked and each part works with another, so the promotion work with the price and the people and so on so forth, so in terms of innocent they are covering the marketing mix quite well.
