Healthy Energy Drink for Women Captures Thai Market
1. 1
Executive Summary
Although women today make up a large number of the consumers of energy drinks in the global
market. The idea of energy drinks for women in Thailand is still a rather new subject. Yet with the rising
trend of healthy consumption in Thailand, women consumers are becoming more and more conscious
about what they consume. Healthier alternatives to coffee and other high calories and fattening energy
drinks have becoming increasingly popular in the food industry, especially those that are new and
unique.
Therefore, to take advantage of this opportunity, our company would like to propose an idea of
GIRLZ, an innovative women’s sugar-free, fat-free energy drink, promising a boost that would not work
against women’s body in the long run. With light fruity flavors, GIRLZ provide a relaxing feeling that still
allows women to get that much boost without the jittery feeling that is commonly associated with
traditional energy drinks.
The purpose of this project is to develop a comprehensive business plan for GIRLZ, a healthy
energy drink for women, and assess the opportunity of it in the market though the use of qualitative and
quantitative surveys and relevant data collection.
The project will explore business opportunities by investigating our target customers’
preferences, current market situation, and price of the products will also be determined through the
data collecting process. We also analyzed Thailand’s energy drinks market and its background, as well as
evaluated the opportunities available in the market that may benefit our business.
The final plan will ultimately determine whether the proposed business is viable in today’s market.

Background
Energy drinks are non-alcoholic beverages intended to provide a quick burst of high energy to
the consumer. Generally, the core component is
caffeine. Thailand has a long history of energy drinks

and the use of caffeine has been a key ingredient.
Recent years have witnessed the emergence of
several new energy drinks. The dominant ones in
Thai’s market include M 150, Carabao Daeng, Krating
Daeng or Red Bull, and Lipovitan-D or Lipo.
For a rather long time, energy drinks have been especially popular among the Thailand's Tuk-tuk
and bus drivers. Since when energy drinks where originally launched in Thailand, they targeted at the so-
called blue-collar client. The energy boosters were for the hard-working men to get through the day. To

Although women today make up a large number of the consumers of energy drinks in the global
market. The idea of energy drinks for women in Thailand is still a rather new subject. Many energy
drinks ads in Thailand purposely use an exclusive aiming at male consumers, this explains why at least
Thai females rather stay away from these products.

their daily lives. This energy must be consistent

Furthermore, it must be healthy energy, or it is

In response, GIRLZ is releasing an energy drink for
women that have both sugar-free and fat-free, promising a boost that wouldn’t work against women in
the long run. The product is made sure to pay special attention to female consumers.

refreshment, energy boost without jitters, calorie-burning, as well as skin revitalization. Since women

energy drink has the great light taste that helps women revitalize their body condition without having
any side effects. GIRLZ stand outs from other energy drinks since it contains natural ingredients,
vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, with low amount of caffeine. What’s more, GIRLZ is sweetened
with sucralose. That means it is sugar-free, carbohydrate-free, and most importantly calorie-free.
Therefore, it delivers the nutrition that women with active lifestyles need, whether for doing extra work
in the office or spending time during a late night to study for an exam.

The survey results reveal that pricing does not have the effect on consuming decisions of energy drink
customers. Thirty-eight point six percent of the respondents see their favorite energy drink brand
superior to others due to the flavor; where as 28.1% of them value the quality of the product. Since,
GIRLZ is unique and of very high quality energy drink, the company will be able to employ the premium
pricing strategy.

Premium pricing or prestige pricing is the strategy of consistently pricing at, or near, the high end of the
possible price range to reflect the exclusiveness of the product. Buyers of such products usually view
them as luxuries and have little or no price sensitivity. The advantages of applying this strategy include:
18 | P a g e
19. 19
1. The consumers of GIRLZ will see the high price as an indication of good quality.
2. The premium price charged for the uniqueness and quality of GIRLZ allows the company to generate
large profit margins on each item sold.
3. The premium price will also display GIRLZ’s commitment to quality, and the customers will think of
GIRLZ when they desire such exclusive superiority.
In conclusion, GIRLZ will be charged at 19 baht per 100 mL bottle. This is the price for the opportunity to
regain energy instantly without having side effects but receiving a natural look and feel that the
consumers cannot get from the other energy drinks. Moreover, 19 baht is the reasonable price for
sugar-free, carbohydrate-free, and calorie-free energy drink that can burn calorie and revitalize the skin.
In the future, GIRLZ aspires to change the pricing strategy into skim pricing strategy; reducing the price
when any direct competitors enter the market. However, GIRLZ will continue maintaining and improving
the quality as well as the reputation of the first women energy drink in Thailand.

3. Distribution strategy
Since GIRLZ is the new product to the market. The company plans to use intensive distribution
the product: selling the products through as many outlets as possible, so the consumers encounter the
product virtually everywhere the; including, supermarkets, drug stores, and gas stations. However,
GIRLZ will be distributed throughout Thailand to serve active lifestyle both in the city and other areas. In
addition, the company utilizes indirect distribution method to allocate GIRLZ by the use of an
intermediary.

4. Promotional Strategies
Advertising
Since GIRLZ is a newly developed brand generally at the beginning phrase of the market, our
main aim on is to start extensive advertising of our products, in addition to our brand name. This is
so as to generate maximum awareness and knowledge of the general public, and attract the target
customer the hopefully gain adequate and sufficient market share.
To new brand like GIRLZ, customers’ exposure to advertising is key. One way to amplify
communication impact to the public is to advertise GIRLZ television commercials through free TV
channels. However, since GIRLZ is targeting at a niche market, we saw that it is vital to air the
commercials on overplay female oriented channel and programs.
Other than television commercials, we also intend to advertise our brand and product
outdoor, especially on transit advertising. To match
Advertising on BTS
our target busy dynamic lifestyles with the
advertising execution, advertising on the BTS, MRT,
and bus stops is considered potentially effective.
Moreover, targets in schools and colleges would
be exposed to print advertising, including posters and billboards of GIRLZ around the campus.
Apart from that, magazine ads are effective in reaching the target of the particular
demographics. GIRLZ ads will be placed on women’s magazines such as Elle, Cleo, and Di-Chan.
21 | P a g e
22. 22
These magazines particularly a very specific readership based on factors including interests, age,
and female gender. By leveraging readership demographics, it is directly ensure that the message is
being seen by the right audience. In addition to raising awareness; magazine ads educate readers
about the product, create interest, and eventually enhance purchase.
Another cost effective strategy to advertise our product is through online advertising. GIRLZ
official site should be established as well as a fan page on social networking sites such as facebook
and twitter, in which provide a space for potential and interested customers to do their research,
receive news, and exchange
GIRLZ FACEBOOK PAGE
opinions. With advanced technology
and targets’ computer and Internet
literacy, customers can be exposed
to promotional information of GIRLS
online, develop interest, undergo
search process, which increase
traffic to the main site and in turn increase purchase.
Events
Events are becoming increasingly essential as in order for a brand to gain acknowledgements.
GIRLZ aspires to participate in tradeshows inviting key prospects and customers with intriguing
incentives. Not only this will increase awareness of the product, but if the product were to gain
recognition, the organization or the brand GIRLZ will be able to take advantage of this in all its
promotional campaigns, adding force to its reputation and image. Certainly, this would increase
22 | P a g e
23. 23
confidence and pride in our staff. Communicating such achievements often gives customers a
feeling that they can rely on the product, and this builds strong customer loyalty.
Other than tradeshows, GIRLZ also has a mission is to raise awareness and funds for Breast
Cancer and Ovarian Cancer research and prevention through organizing special events, while
supplying networking opportunities for those in need to learn more about these deadly cancers and
get help through our partners.
GIRLZ CANCER CHARITY
GIRLZ also is advocating for inspirational design, and fashion, which are industries most women
are interested in. GIRLZ aims to organize annual benefit fashion runway shows, which are regarded
for its excellence in design and presentation. The runway show will feature university students in
Thailand as designers, models, dancers, photographers, event planners and leaders, and gives back
to a local charity. Expecting an audience of many students, staff and Thailand entertainment and
fashion industry professionals, the runway show will consistently be well-received and highlighted
in the media.
23 | P a g e
24. 24
Public Relations
The need for public relations in today’s business is growing at a fast pace. Plus, recognizing that
GIRLZ is relatively new to the market, there will be a need to organize an event, to introduce the
brand to the market. We intend to place news stories and features in magazines and newspapers to
keep stakeholders updated on the latest information and to increase awareness among target
customers. Potential customers, related senior officials, and other stakeholders will be invited to
the events so as to penetrate the market. Most importantly, the press and the media should be
informed about any events in advanced through press releases. This is in hope for the media to
disseminate favorable information to the public
Conference
GIRLZ Press
especially to the target customers. Favorable
information publicized by the press and the
media, would generally leverage the product, as
well as the brand’s image.
With our plans to organize events, including tradeshows, fund raisings, and fashion shows,
public relations is needed in order to assist in the recognition and appreciation of our company in
the surrounding community especially. GIRLZ’s efforts on community service will demonstrate that
the company has its community at heart, contributing towards the establishment of a good and
reputable image.
24 | P a g e
25. 25
Personal Selling and Sales promotion
GIRLZ intends to use personal selling combined with
sales promotion to obtain a relatively high degree of brand
GIRLZ KIOSK
attention as well as to promote an increase in sales. GIRLZ
will use 50 Kiosks to provide tasting of our energy drink at
sampling points in major supermarkets around Thailand.
The salespersons at the sampling points will find the
potential customers, provide the information about the
benefits of the product, demonstrate GIRLZ cocktail recipes, answer the questions, and try to close
the sale. We believe that this strategy will not only boost the sale and the awareness of the product
but also enhance the long-term relationship among the company and customers.

there is obvious inclination toward healthy consumption in Thailand, this is especially true to women
consumers who are becoming extra conscious about what they eat and drink. Along with the fact that
energy drinks in Thailand are generally made for as well as targeted at men customers, GIRLZ attempts
to lessen the gap in the market by prompting as the first healthy energy drink specially made for
women.
With such opportunity in the market, the best investment prospect will be awarded to
companies that have the innovation and creativity to meet the demands of their target customers,
whose purchasing and adopting behaviors are driven by economic conditions, demographics trends, and
pricing. In this case, GIRLS does just as mentioned, by offering Thai women the first and only litchi-

side effects.
As presented throughout our proposal, with summation and prediction obtained from real facts,
statistics, and numbers, it is perceivable that GIRLZ energy drink for women business in Thailand will be
a promising venture.
Based on the extensive primary and secondary researches conducted, the company has come to
a conclusion that the energy drink industry in Thailand, although highly competitive in among men
customers market and may tough to break through the clutter, it is expectedly lucrative for companies
with daring inspirations and inventive product ideas to invest in. Hence, with our creative spin to a
longstanding industry, the company’s management is confident that GIRLZ can achieve its aggressive
income forecasts, generating up to 5.9 million baht per month by the third month of our production,

primary goal of selling the total of 600,000 bottle within the timeframe.
In addition, GIRLZ’s management team are also looking forward to expand our production level
to keep up with the promising increasing demand, for we are convinced that we have the potential to
become the first successful women energy drink in Thailand. In other words, due to the company’s
aggressive marketing tactic, premium pricing strategy, unique and fresh brand positioning, continuous
and thoughtful product quality development, GIRLS has the potential to provide lucrative returns to
potential investors.
Hence, for the company to secure initial capital, it would require no more than two million baht
of financing, which would be used to fund our start-up costs, to further develop the business, its
infrastructure, operating systems and product manufacturing systems. Providing that the company is
able to acquire its funding requirements, GIRLZ should be able to achieve immense accomplishment for
many years to come.
