Ch. 10 - Product Concepts


In 2013 Red Bull extended their product line to include 3 new flavors, or "Editions" as they are called. All the familiar benefits of their classic energy drink were promised with a cranberry, lime, and blueberry twist. The new drinks were well received by consumers and the line was extended further in subsequent years to include even more flavors.
 
To determine the likelihood of a flavors success before implementing a large-scale roll-out, small introductions were made in various test markets to gauge consumer reception. Since initial launch - Red Bull Editions have grown to a total of seven unique flavors. Check back soon for an interesting post on Red Bull's failed "Simply Cola" product when we discuss developing and managing products in Chapter 11.
