Failure: Dr Pepper TEN ; The difficulties facing “not quite diet” carbonated soft drinks
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
• Although not a failure in the fullest sense of the word, TEN has not been the all-out success that Dr Pepper's investment in the brand suggested the company hoped it would be. Mid- or low-calorie soft drinks sit in an uncomfortable position between the options consumers are most likely to choose – zero-calorie or the standard product.
• The audience for low to mid-calorie soft drinks like the TEN range may be a transitory one; companies rely on capturing sales from those looking for lower calories but not satisfied by diet soft drinks' tastes. However, those consumers are still likely to migrate to zero-calorie drinks or ultimately out of the perceived unhealthy category altogether.
• As the original marketing campaign for TEN demonstrated, poorly judged demographic clichés can be very damaging to a product's chances, and hurt the overall umbrella brand. It can call into question the strategic decision-making of the brand owner and the values it may (or may not) have as a business.
