Recap Continued:
Discoveries Since Last Presentation:
• We saw the addition of fruit to the counters• Large mason jars at the registers • Quicker service • Loyalty Card• New Menu• Clean environment• Less Noise
Recommendation
D’lush Pain Points:
• While the brand is distinguishable, it is confusing
• Youthful seems juvenile • Charity and Philanthropy goals are not clear • Too much noise and hard to distinguish
what is important (i.e. the menu) • Non permanent decorations look cheap• Employee appearance
Recommendation
Product: names
Recommendation
• Simplification and Clarity is Key• Differentiate names that are similar to one another• Consumers need to know what the drink is just by
the name
Product: Examples1. “Sassy B”: Strawberry Banana Indulge
2. “Red Bull Rush”: Kiwi Red Bull Mix
3. “Cherry Sun God”: Cherry Red Bull Mix
4. “Classic and Classic” (Tea and Coffee)
5. “Lavender Lemonade”: Lavender Blueberry Lemonade
Recommendation:Aim for more names like “Caramel Kiss!” •Imagery lets consumer know the main taste to expect in the beverage•Makes them crave it
Recommendation
Handout Menu & Cup: Menu•Still too scattered •Should be easy and enjoyable to read, not stressful•Handout menu needs to be more organized
Goal of Cup: Consumers should want to be seen holding a D’lush cup• Get rid of the dome top • Cup represents status • Brand recognition enough with logo
Recommendation
Atmosphere: the good
Recommendation
• Distinguishable• Visually appealing• Fun and playful• Open and bright• Lots of seating
“the overall look is nice, trendy, and ALMOST chic, but it is still in Price Center. I was drawn to the awesome
shapes and nice colors all around.”
Atmosphere: problem areas
Recommendation
• Borderline millenial• Menu board • Perceived value
• cups along counter• fruit in boxes
• Attention to detail
Atmosphere: Ideas• Increase perceived value
• baskets to display fruit• decor along counter
• Food Display• Menu board• Employee Nametag

Hashtags:•#DlushLife•#DrinkUp •#GetQuenched
Recommendation: Social Media: Building Consistency
Twitter: • The header name is Jeffery Alder, should be D’lush & edit description• Should be creating tweets that are beyond your Facebook posts• Create conversations with customers with hashtags
#Dlushlife #DrinkUp #GetQuenched • Push Instagram photos to twitter to create visual content
Recommendation: Social Media: Building Consistency
• We like that you have a custom header that is fun and SoCal • Regular posts and consistency is key • We suggest youthful language that is not juvenile
Facebook:
More Social Network Channels:
Recommendation: Social Media: Building Consistency
Snapchat: •Use Snapchat to connect to customers •Consumers are on target •Use to talk about flash deals, charity events, and free stuff!
Text Messages: •Ancient but effective •Jamba Juice does this well by sending out daily/weekly/monthly deals
Charity and Philanthropy:
Recommendation
We love D’lush’s commitment to giving back and think there are creative ways to integrate your goals with university clubs and organizations.
•Fundraiser for Autism of Society San Diego was not well published (hidden on bottom of menu) and only applied to one drink •Try donating a dollar to a given charity for any drink to show commitment •Let clubs and organizations pick a drink to receive a dollar from with purchase, makes it more personal •Create handouts or better placement on handout menu
Potential Fundraisers• UCSD Drink Design Competition
• Student organization rep. registers at Dlush to enter competition in which each organization creates a drink and name relevant to the charity they support
• Students go to D’lush to cast votes for best sounding drink• Top three most popular get to come into D’lush to create their drink and
present it to a panel of D’lush judges (D’lush staff and potentially faculty members)
• Winner gets drink on menu for a month and $1 of proceeds to their charity campaign
