Tropicana’s Packaging Case Study

Case Study, Consumer Behavior, Discussion Exercises, Free Activities, Products and Brands, Promotion

In this activity we are going back to 2009 when Tropicana underwent a significant packaging redesign that did not go as planned. Although this occurred a number of years ago, it is a “classic” case study that all marketing students and practitioners should be aware of. It is especially useful for understanding the importance of packaging, branding, and what drives customer loyalty and repeat (habitual) purchases.

Informative, Persuasive, or Reminder Advertising?

Discussion Exercises, Member Activities, Promotion, Segmentation and Positioning

In this simple, but quite challenging, exercise students classify ads into the categories of informative, persuasive, and reminder advertising. This is a great task to help students distinguish between these somewhat confusing differences. The “need” for reminder style advertising is also explored.

Are Price Discounts Worthwhile?

Consumer Behavior, Member Activities, Pricing, Promotion, Segmentation and Positioning

As we know, sales promotions and discounts are commonly used in supermarket channels. However, do they make a difference? In this activity, students examine different consumer motivations, using an excerpt from a focus group, to identify the type of consumer (segment) that are responsive to sales promotions and why – as well as identifying the long-term impact on a brand, if any.

Difference Between Target Markets and Target Audiences

Discussion Exercises, Ethics, Marketing Environment, Member Activities, Promotion, Role Plays, Services/CRM, Social

In this exercise, students will be presented with a mix of target markets and multiple target audiences for a new social initiative. It is a helpful activity for clarifying the difference between target markets and audiences. And it is very flexible, as it can be run as a case study discussion, as a marketing debate, or even a student role-play.

This case study examines a repositioning campaign for Vita-Weat, which is a brand of crackers in Australia. In this promotional campaign, this brand of “dull” and perceived budget crackers was successfully repositioned to be seen as a gourmet food offering and tapping into the “foodie” culture trend.
