The keys to success are designing and producing such type of products that meet market

to success are achieved, it will become a profitable, sustainable company specifically
which will produce long lasting results as well.

Company Highlights:
The firm is going to start the operation to fulfill the need of the market segment that still
has not been fulfilling properly. The market segment which is known as the energy drink
is our focus. The people today have too much busy life. Their tight work routine absorbs
all the energy from their body and soul. In this situation they need something that fulfill
their energy need and make them fresh instantly.
There are some products already exist in the market to take advantage of that segment of
market. But the fact is that the competition is not so stiff in this segment. Another fact is
that the products which already exist in the market have a high rate.

SUNSTAR BEVERAGES
The fundamentals of our business will be to fulfill the need of the people to remain
energetic with our world class product at an affordable price. We take our customer as
our first priority while taking any decision.
Our target market of our mix fruit Energy drinks are mainly targeted towards those who
need some sort of energy boost. Now everyone is facing the super-charged, over-worked
lifestyle, but young people are especially vulnerable to persistent exhaustion and
insufficient energy. We will specially make our marketing efforts around Teenagers,
Adults, and also Late 50s.
The owners are the firm is the partners in the firm who dont have any intention to go in
the public. The names and share of the partners are mention in the operational plan of the.
The capital can be raise from the banks as well if necessary at any time.
The industry has a very bright future as everyone expecting from the trends prevailing in
the market. The energy drinks demand is rising as compared to the other drinks available
in the market. The people are coming more and more towards the energy drinks not only
to get their selves fresh but also regain the energy of the body which they loss during the
everyday chores of work. As the share of industry is rising as the time passes on so to
launch a business in such an environment where on one side the industry share of total
market is increasing and on other side not much competitors are available in that segment
looks like a very vise decision.
The one weakness which we have is that we are new entrants in the industry as well as
well we do not have the as much financial resources as the other competitors have. But
the positive point is that we can still successfully compete with competitors due to our
strategy. The one weakness that we have few financial resources is overcome by our
strategy to start with a small geographical region Gujrat. The advantage which we have
over the competitors is that all the partners belong to the same geographical region so
they are well familiar with the target population of the area. No matter that financial
resources are few but the extensive marketing strategy can be launched because of the
small geographical area. The close knitted connections of the partners in area and quality
product at affordable price can win a leaders place in that area for our product.
To fulfill this need and want of people we are launching our product with the name
Power Trip in the market. As we want to see the response of the public towards our
product before launch it on a vast level, so we are launching it in the regional area of
Gujrat in initial stages.

insufficient sleep, when one needs more energy in general, to drink with alcohol while
partying, and when studying for an exam or completing a major course project. Drinking

energy drinks for three or more of the six situations that were assessed. Side effects of
consuming energy drinks and headaches occur in many energy drink users.
