Case Study: Wanglaoji

Product Taste Test

Project Objectives:
Our objectives were to identify the brand positioning and to forecast potential market size. We were also tasked with finding out a unique and appealing brand positioning relative to other key soft drink categories and functional drinks – to understand whether Wanglaoji should be positioned as a tea, soft drink or functional tea.

Project Outcome:
We helped confirm Wanglaoji’s product positioning, which was successfully re-launched in 2003.

Methodology:
We recruited and conducted 60 retailer and 30 trade interviews across 3 cities. The retailers were segmented into: mum and pop stores, convenience stores and supermarkets. Trade interviews were with wholesalers in the business of soft drink distribution.
