Target market

“The kids that are 18 or 19 years old and drink


RED BULL in a nightclub have years of use ahead
of them. These same people will use it in the
future as a sporting drink, or for a driving, or as a
conference drink because business meetings are
always tiring”

Approach of establishing direct experience, word of


mouth and then branch out
Evaluate Red Bull’s move into herbal teas, fast-
food chains, and magazines. Does it make sense
for the company to expand into these areas? What
are the potential benefits and dangers?
Red Bull “Energy” and “Functional”.

Herbal tea  Boosted the immune system and improved the


metabolism.

Kombucha developed in 1997 and Ginkgo 2000 are modern-


day versions of ancient Asian herbal teas.

The “Wellbeing Zone” on the Carpe Diem website.

Magazine  Reflecting the lifestyle of Red bull would make


sense.
Because product usage was not marketed as being limited to one
or even a few occasions, Red Bull users could continue to use
the product even as their priorities shifted. The case states that,
“a Red Bull consumer first attracted to the product as a nightlife
enhancer in his or her early twenties might later use the drink as
a morning pick-me-up or a revitalizer during a long day of
meetings.” How effective is Red Bull at advertising to these
varied groups?
“ The Real Benefit ”
