Several years ago, the Florida Orange Juice Growers Association ran a promotional campaign with the slogan "Orange juice. It isn't just for breakfast anymore." Based on this slogan, which of the four growth strategies was the association pursuing? Briefly explain your reasoning.

What will be an ideal response?


The best answer is that this is a market penetration strategy. The slogan seeks to increase sales of a current product (orange juice), which reduces the options to market penetration or market development. "It isn't just for breakfast anymore" sounds like the Growers Association want those who drink orange juice at breakfast time to consider it at other times of the day too. In other words, it focuses on increasing usage among current customers, which is market penetration.

Some students might say that it is a market development strategy. For this to be correct, they would have to argue that a different market segment that currently doesn't drink orange juice is being targeted.
