Hawaiian Punch background

In 1934, A. W. Leo, Tom Yates and Ralph Harrison developed Leo’s Hawaiian Punch, a blend of fruits such as pineapple, passion fruit, papaya and guava, to add to their line of ice cream toppings sold under the Pacific Citrus Products Company. In 1946, the company was bought and renamed Pacific Hawaiian Product Company, and introduced quart-sized bottles of concentrate for sale, and later manufactured ready-to-serve red Hawaiian Punch in 46-ounce cans in the 1950s. In 1955, frozen concentrate was distributed to grocery stores and Hawaiian Punch became a national brand. Soon after “Punchy,” the mascot, was introduced, and the companies brand image and advertising identified it a successful product (Kerin, 2007).

Over the next 30 years, Hawaiian Punch was bought out by RJ Reynolds (RJR) Company, Del Monte, who expanded distribution channels and introduced new flavors, Proctor and Gamble, who established the gallon bottle as a leading juice drink package and distributed at supermarkets and retail outlets via its bottle network in the carbonated drink aisle and independent food broker and warehouse networks in the juice aisle, and lastly Cadbury Schweppes, PLC (Kerin, 2007).

In 2004, three Cadbury Schweppes, PLC business units—Dr Pepper/Seven Up; Snapple Beverage Group; and Mott’s—integrated to form Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages (Kerin, 2007). At the time, the Hawaiian Punch line consisted of 11 flavors and packaging included a 1-gallon bottle, a half-gallon bottle, a 2-liter bottle, a 20-ounce bottle, a 6.75-ounce single-serve standup pouch, and a 12-ounce can. Hawaiian Punch Lite had also recently been introduced and contained 60 percent less sugar (Kerin, 2007). Fruit juice market

    Marketing and Snapple

    From 1972-1993 Snapple Fruit Juice Company flourished while many startup premium fruit drinks struggled and, in many cases, failed. In fact, most of Snapple's successful competitors during this time were sold to larger distribution companies allowing Snapple to create a Brand image and distribution alliance for the "smaller guy." They were a cult classic, promoted by loud, brash promoters like Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh who had huge followings of independent, "stick-it-to-the-man" listeners. Snapple also created the legend of Wendy Kaufman, a former truck dispatcher and employee of Snapple. She was an instant success with the kind of style and attitude that matched Snapple's independent image. As the product began to grow so did distribution, product line, and understanding of what made the product great. Snapple and the original owners, however, sold control of the company to the Thomas H. Lee Company in 1992 for $27.9 million who then sold to Quaker in 1993 for $1.7 billion. The high-priced opportunity for Quaker was full of potential, yet after three disappointing years, Snapple was sold again. Some suggest that the purchase of Snapple was a bad move for Quaker, and the declining sales may have proved that point. However, Quaker did not understand what led to the original success of the product and tried to change the four P's. Eventually, Quaker sold the product to Triarc and it would be Mike Weinstein's responsibility to improve the declining sales and brand name success of Snapple. This paper will first analyze the success of Snapple from 1972-1993 under original ownership. Secondly, it will investigate Quaker from 1994-1997 determining if they made an error in purchasing the company, or if the owners managed it poorly. Third, how the Snapple brand compared to the competition will be addressed. Finally, three high priority initiatives Mike Weinstein and Triarc should implement to save Snapple will be identified.…

    Hawaiian Punch is the leading brand of fruit drink brands in the United States and has a long history of satisfying customers. The Hawaiian Punch brand traces its roots back to the 1930’s when it was developed as tropical-tasting syrup for ice cream and later sold as a drink. The brand has been owned by several different companies over the years and was recently purchased by the Cadbury Schweppes Company from Procter and Gamble Corporation. Hawaiian Punch joined the Dr. Pepper-Seven UP Inc. bottling network, which is the third largest carbonated soft drink bottler in the United States. This allowed the brand to be distributed in the soft drink aisle of the supermarket. The brand is unique in that it is sold in two different sections of the supermarket: the juice aisle as well as the carbonated soft drink aisle.…

    First launched to local health food stores, Snapple captured an uprising niche in the beverage industry. The concept of juice may have been prevalent historically however during this period competition against sodas enabled this brand to capture both the healthy alternative as well as the versatile, novel connotations associated with common soft drinks.
