Premium Snack Slowdown

Clarifying Questions:


• Is the slowdown occurring across all product lines or concentrated in certain categories?
• Is the client focused on domestic growth, international expansion, or both?

Solution:

I would structure this around three growth avenues: deepening existing markets, expanding into new markets, and portfolio innovation.

  1. Penetration in existing markets
    • Analyze distribution coverage and shelf placement with current retailers.
    • Evaluate pricing and promotional strategy effectiveness.
    • Identify opportunities to increase purchase frequency among current customers.

  1. Geographic or channel expansion
    • Assess expansion into new regions or export markets.
    • Explore alternative channels such as direct-to-consumer or foodservice.
    • Evaluate partnerships with major retailers for broader reach.

  1. Product and portfolio expansion
    • Identify adjacent product categories aligned with brand positioning.
    • Assess demand for healthier or functional variants.
    • Explore limited-time offerings to drive incremental traffic.
