Case Study

Auston Juices Pty Ltd is a wholly Australian owned and operated business that has been making fruit juice for 10 years. Having conducted a successful trial of fruit juice products throughout regions in Australia, Mike Auston the owner and managing director of the company, wishes to further expand into the non-alcoholic beverage market and has conducted a three-months trial of ‘mixer’ drinks.  These drinks will be advertised as ‘adult’ mixers and sold with cocktail recipes printed directly onto the can.

The new trial of the ‘mixer’ drinks was conducted from June to August 2023.    Michelle, the Director of Marketing at Auston Juices, conducted the trial from retail stores in each of Auston Juices four sales regions.  The four regions include New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and Western Australia.

The ‘mixer’ drinks that have been trialled are ALMOND PASSION, MANGO DELIGHT, RASPBERRY SODA, TRIPLE SHOT ESPRESSO, LIME SOFT DRINK and CRANBERRY WIZZ.   All the juices will only be available in 300 ml aluminium cans.

Mike has negotiated with several retail stores.  The trial was conducted in association with four retailers in Victoria, and three retailers in each of the other regions (see the accompanying spreadsheet).

Sales data (number of cans sold) for the 3-months trial period is provided in an accompanying spreadsheet.   Mike wants you to analyse the results of the trial and, drawing on this analysis, to advise him on the marketing potential for each flavour, the different regions, and the different retailers.  He is also interested in any other factors that need to be considered when interpreting the results, and finally your advice on any other factors that may need to be considered before final decisions are made concerning the ongoing sales of the ‘mixer’ drinks.  

You are expected to undertake descriptive and predictive analysis of the data provided in the accompanying spreadsheet. The results of the analysis are then required to be presented in a professionally organised report with respect to the requirements of the business owner stated above.
