Case Study: Peeking at a 21st Century Brand; bling h2o

A new chapter in the bottled water industry has been written. Bling h2o, bottled in Tennessee at the English Mountain Spring, is an amalgam of modern sculpture, Hollywood, and truly great water. The brand’s creator, Hollywood screenwriter Kevin Boyd, envisioned a fine water presentation that made a statement equivalent to Cristal Champagne and Tiffany jewels. Boyd knows the importance of image and what your choice in bottled water conveys to the public. In Hollywood it seems the bottled water one carries has become an important prop and it has become the land of the up market waters - bottles are becoming statements of coolness and bling h2o was fashioned to make a defining statement. The mission was to offer a product with an exquisite face to match exquisite taste. The product is strategically positioned to target the expanding super-luxury consumer market

Available in US$40 750ml and US$24 350ml versions, the frosted, corked bottles are emblazoned with hand-applied, Swarovski crystals. Not surprisingly, the newspapers are reporting that the Goddess of conspicuous consumption Paris Hilton “has tasted the water” as has her dog Tinkerbell.

The drink has also shown up at the Grammy’s, Emmy’s and MTV Video Music Awards in the hands of celebrities such as Jamie Foxx, Mariah Carey and Shaquille O’Neal.

Bling h2o’s museum quality glazed bottles, each one hand detailed with genuine Swarovski crystals, would command attention regardless what was inside. Bling h2o is virtually nitrate-free, sodium free, and contains minimal chlorides. The 100 milligrams per litre of Bicarbonate account for the pH of 7.66, an optimal pH level for those who appreciate a slightly sweet taste.

The bling h2o Christmas Collection 2009 was being touted as the world’s most expensive bottle of water and comes in two versions, Swarovski Crystal and opaque green, red or red and white decorated.

    But three decades ago, what could we say about a category that had no market? We didn't know our target group. Then, since bottled water is colourless, tasteless and odourless, it was not an easy product to advertise. Thus, the earlier brand building efforts focused on Bisleri being healthy with adequate minerals. The Italian name added a dash of class to it. The first print ad campaign captured the international essence and showed a butler with a bow tie, holding two bottles of Bisleri.The punch line was, "Bisleri is very very extraordinary" (the spelling of the punch line was designed to capture the consumer's attention). The campaign was successful and we were being noticed as someone who catered to the need for safe, healthy drinking water.…
