COMPANY PROFILE
HISTORY
1998 The Failure In 1998, during their snowboarding trip, 3 university graduates, Rich, Adam and Jon decided to set up a business instead of talking about it. They wrote a business plan that nobody wanted to invest in. Then they tried re-writing the plan another 11 times. But still, they got turned down by everyone they turn to.
The Start Then in 1999, after selling their smoothies at a music festival. They did a survey by setting up a big sign asking if they should give up on their jobs, and also placed two bins saying 'Yes' and a bin saying 'No" in front of the stall. By the end of the weekend, the 'Yes' bin was full, so they resigned from their jobs the next day and got cracking.

COMPANY ANALYSIS
THE 7PS
Physical Environment
Fridges, shelves and fruit shelvings The products are placed near fridges, shelves and fruit shelves which are around the eye level of the statue of an average adult. It is proven that people will most likely buy whatever they see at eye level, because they do not come to the market prepared and usually grab whatever they want to get. [5] 9

COMPANY ANALYSIS
SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT Analysis Strengths They take part in many community activities; connects with the public and created their own charity organisation for the community.[6]
Weaknesses Innocent should make their drinks more affordable to everyone, as it is too expensive, or maybe get a good relation with the supplier to get a fixed rate[5]
Opportunities Coca Cola took over innocent, with Coca cola’s significance in the market, innocent can ride that wave of popularity to make themselves sell. [4]
THreats Online health sites like the dailymail criticizes the drinks of high sugar content than normal drinks as it is purely fruit. Innocent cannot control what the media can say and will be incapable of stopping such threatsto its business.[2]
