Direct Competitors and Brand Images Direct competitors are store-bought, easy-brew teas.

•

Tazo Tea: The target audience believes this leading brand is comparable to Nativi-tea. However, members of the target audience find Tazo Tea teas to be overpriced at $15.90 a box.

•

Celestial Seasonings tea: The target audience views this company as a budgetfriendly option. However, they believe the teas taste bland.

•

Lipton Tea: The target audience believes this company is the most popular of all tea brands. However, the lack or organic options scares the target audience away from this brand.

Indirect Competitors and Brand Images •

Crystal Light drink mixes: The target audience believes that the tea-flavored crystal light packets taste similar to higher-quality teas. However, the drink offers no health benefits and may contain harmful ingredients.

•

Home-brew Coffee: The target audience believes that coffee is a great morning beverage. However, the caffeine crash they receive from the coffee is a downside.

Brand image challenge: The target audience isn’t aware of how easy making fresh, organic tea is. The ToGo tea packets offer the great-tasting Nativi-tea teas in a portable form and the BagNBrew teabags are ready in minutes. Both of these options appeal to college-aged students.
