Recommendation

Page 7: Dlush Brand Management Recommendation Spring 2014

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

Page 8: Dlush Brand Management Recommendation Spring 2014

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

Page 9: Dlush Brand Management Recommendation Spring 2014

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

Page 10: Dlush Brand Management Recommendation Spring 2014

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

Page 11: Dlush Brand Management Recommendation Spring 2014

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

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

Page 21: Dlush Brand Management Recommendation Spring 2014

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

Page 22: Dlush Brand Management Recommendation Spring 2014

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
