RED BULLS MARKETING PLAN
TARGET CUSTOMERS
Red Bull targets mainly young active men between the ages of 16 and 29 who have an active lifestyle. These are generally more than active these are extreme people they pushing life to the edge. They are actively involved in motocross, skate boarding, bmx racing, clubbing, skiing, snowboarding, wake boarding to name a few. These target market group don’t want to sleep. They are tired from life be it work or school yet they are not ready to sleep so they drink a Red Bull and are revitalised “Body and mind”.
RED BULL GIVES YOU WINGS
This is Red Bull’s unique selling preposition. This slogan implies that life with Red Bull is easier. The fact you drink Red Bull will help you achieve your desires just that much easier. So if you have had a busy day down on the lake followed by some downhill mountain biking there is only one thing to consider drinking before
