In order to describe the segmentation of the consumer market of innocents smoothie products im issue to ingestion three relevant segmentation criteria such(prenominal) as behavioural, psychographic and profile. Talking about the behaviour of customers we can segmentate the market of innocent in this way The smoothies argon addressed to customers that want vigorous food, and live in a healthy way, and they are sure to find in innocent a very high up quality products.They could want also to improve their self-image because innocent has a strong reputation and for its high levels of price is not affordable for all. Customers perception of the innocents products is a high level quality perception and they appreciate innocent also because its good commitment in the environment and society trying to guard better the world around the company.

The current segment of innocent is that its product are oriented in the european markets to people that are aware of their health and want to have a health l ife, that have money to spend on, that are environmental sensible people and that have not a lot of time to waste.Which segment, or segments, should innocent target next? In my opinion the next segment that innocent should target is the market of old people. I look at this because there are a lot of old people that are aware of their helth, that have money to spend and that want to live in a healthy way but nowadays they are not attracted by innocents products because its products arent thought for them. Therefore i think that innocent should develop an array of products thought specifically for old people to serve this segment. 3 What are the strenght and weaknesses of innocents product/branding scheme? Innocent has built a very successful business in the smoothie market by offering quality, fresh products and by behaving in an openly ethical manner, this has created a brand that from the point of view of customers it means quality and healthy products, its ethical outline is us ing fresh and pure fruits and not use any preservatives, stabilizers or concentrates in its drink.Therefore when customers buy Innocent brand they know that they are aquiring healthy products eco-friendly. So this is a strenghts of this approach and also the fact of universe active in charity events and also the firm assures to the customers that 10% of its profits is destinated to charity activitie through the Innocents foundation. The company wants also to leave things a little better than it found them. So it has an ethical approach and aspires to be an ethical business.One weakness of this approach could be that by aspiring to be an ethical business, Innocence offers its products with a high price category and the message that is communicated is that if you want healthy products you have to pay more than other products and many costumers even if they cherished to buy innocents products they could not be able to afford this array of products. Another weaknesses of the innocents products strategy is that since it has discrete not to use any preservatives, stabilizers or concentrates its products has a shorter shelf life in the supermarket in which they are sold.For this reason it requires an exceptionally slick system of distribution. instead strenghts of branding strategies are events and activities nonionized by the company to increase and improve the brands awareness, such as innocent village fete , organized every year in Regents Park in London,and free tour aroun its headquarters,then it has also brand extension that is also a strenght of its strategy and it is the innocent foundations established to do charity activities in different countries and that received every year from innocents overall income the 10%.Another branding strategys strenght is the choice of lower-case letters for the brands writing that expresses the unconventiol way of the company to communicate with its audience customers.
