    Granite, most consumers like this product because it helps them to become slimmer than they were while living the healthy lifestyle as shown in the commercial. Yoplait should aim their commercial towards being healthy for you and being the tastier choice as well verses just being healthier and a way to lose weight. That way they can appeal towards more than the people who want to lose a few extra pounds. Then their profit can increase to become a bigger producer. Unfortunately in the past Yoplait has not been doing so well according to this article. “The new yogurt is likely to get a significant ad push, including TV, as General Mills looks to make up ground in the Greek segment. The change marks the third time General Mills has changed its Greek variety since entering the segment in early 2010. A spokeswoman characterized the latest effort as a new product with new packaging and a new message, contrasting it with previous changes, which she said were "more about improving or enhancing the existing product." The marketer 's stumbles in Greek have hurt the overall Yoplait brand, which was recently surpassed by Dannon as the total yogurt market leader. In Greek, both of the yogurt giants have been playing catch-up to Chobani, which got an early start in the segment in 2007. General Mills ' U.S. Yoplait division had a net sales decline of 5%…

    Mr. Roth was dealing with this in the sense that milk prices were deflating due to competition that was coming to his town. Because of this competition and the cost of dairy items plummeting, something had to be done to turn the company back to turning higher profits. The idea in focusing on a product that the other competitors are not was a genius idea. Everyone was I’m sure focused on milk and cheese being that those are two of the more popular dairy items that were focused on back in those days. By zoning in on a dairy product that was overseen by the competitors it gave Mr. Roth’s company the edge over the market. By simply changing the amount and look of their yogurt they would be able to turn a profit, as well as still promoting their name possibly leading to more sales of the company’s other products.…

    1) Colombo Yogurt Company faces competition in two different channels, namely the independent yogurt shops and impulse shops that sell other products besides yogurt. During the early 90s, Colombo’s competitive environment consists mainly of franchise operations like TCBY and Freshens. The size of these franchise companies that account for most of the independent yogurt stores pose a serious competition to Colombo and by the early 90s, the yogurt stores have added distinctive new products such as smoothies, boosters and granitas. Meanwhile, many yogurt stores that fail to innovate and introduce new products were put out of business. This puts a lot of pressure on Colombo to continue its research and develop its yogurt product line. As for its impulse channel, Colombo Yogurt faces competition from other products that are served by these impulse stores that consists of food service operators like cafeterias, colleges, and buffets. The focus is much less on yogurt in these stores and they’re usually less committed in taking additional risks like buying new equipments or getting additional labor to serve differentiated yogurt products like smoothies. Essentially, the impulse stores can easily replace yogurt from its product offerings and Colombo also faces stiff competition from other brands to attempt selling its yogurt and its other differentiated products.…

    When walking into Orange Leaf, the bright orange, green, and white décor invite you in. Then, an undeniably sweet scent allures one into assuming their product will consist of top quality and deliciousness. However, when examined closely, the truth reveals itself. With 16 flavors to choose from, pinning down the flavor most desired stands easier said than done. Though almost always in this store, a machine stands broken or a sticky mess, forcing the consumer to decide against that particular flavor. Besides that, Orange Leaf remains one of the only frozen yogurt companies that actually makes their yogurt in the store. By mixing milk, powdered yogurt, and an artificial flavoring, “frozen yogurt” has been conceived. Typically, froyo shops order their yogurt made in a factory with regulations and comes in gallon jugs. When yogurt actually comes from the store made by the employees, ensuring consistency and quality one hundred percent of the time remains impossible. The toppings in Orange Leaf do not measure up to par either. Although kept refrigerated, the fruit often looks slimy and possesses a mushy texture as if it has been sitting out. Cross contamination has also become a present issue with many of the toppings. With nuts as one of the topping options, cross contamination can pose a major health hazard.…
