Case Study - Yogurt War

Pinkberry and Red Mango are the two biggest rivals in yogurt marketing. Both of them are very strong because they’ve got many things to offer and customers like it.

It also contains probiotics in its product to aid digestion. Pinkberry welcomes customers in a modern designed stores and visually appealing product that also conveys a sense of play.
