The Strategic position for your company

The strategic position for Fresh Inc. is Customer Perception Factors. This approach is based on how customers distinguish our company and our quality products and services from those of our competitors. In Fresh, we concentrate on our customer perception factors. We offer quality products to our customers at all times. In addition, our products are offered at affordable rates. We also differentiate our products and at the same time ensure they are customized.

We offer our drinks in several quantities ranging from two liters cans to two hundred millimeter containers. The product, therefore, attracts all types of customers. Provide an overview of your company’s distribution channels. Our products are brought to market through direct- store-delivery (ADDS), our bottlers and our distributors operate ADDS systems that deliver snacks and beverages directly to retail stores where the products are researchers by our employees or our bottlers. ADDS enables us to merchandise with maximum visibility and appeal.

ADDS is especially well-suited to products that are restocked often and respond to the in-store promotion and merchandising. The company also Manual Distribution Centre (MAD) model which operates within densely populated areas like around large towns and cities. The Mad’s are independent businesses with links to their local bottler who may provide technical support and credit to the Mad’s. The owners of the Mad’s generally own the bottles and crates they use. Three types of risks Firstly, there is increased focus on negative health effects of soft drinks and unhealthy foods.

The risk to our company is that persistent and continued emphasis on these effects may curtail soda and snack food consumption. Soda makers are banding together to proactively tackle the issue. In selected cities next year, they will roll out vending machines that will not only display the number of calories in a container of soda but also suggest a lower-calorie beverage option. Fast-food operators have mostly borne the brunt of the backlash against unhealthy foods. Secondly, there are legislation risks: A proposed soda tax aimed at curbing obesity could put increased pressure on PepsiCo.

Capitalization Risk: Our credit rating was lowered due to the debt we took on to fund bottler acquisitions. The acquisitions and restructuring costs will pressure bottom-line growth in the short term and have the potential to lower return on investment and increase commodity cost pressures.
