Drink Branding in most cases when money is key this area is done badly, the most expensive word in this industry is Education, if you have to educate consumers why they should buy your Food or Drink brand you will go broke doing so, THE BEST place to educate your consumer is on the packaging, consumers don't care about an unknown brand name they want to know what is in it for them, so Drink Branding and Food Branding is 90% of the sale, you may have the BEST product in the World but if no one is tempted to try it they will never know. Trademarking a Brand Name is a difficult area that needs expertise, in many cases you may think it is fine to use a brand name only to find out years later when you are successful that it infringes another brand, be careful with this area and get the best advice
Packaging & Production, this is one of the hardest areas to understand as there is Glass, Tetra Park, PET (plastic) or most popular now are cans, you need to understand your market and the occasion where and when they will enjoy your drink, then decide on the right packaging.
Raising Funding to Develop a Drink is key to being a success, as most brands run out of money in the first year, you need to understand how much it will cost you funding drink development and funding drink production, it is always far more than you think
Marketing your drink is where most Entrepreneurs fall down, since GDPR it is very hard to find out who the buyers are and how to contact them, most wholesalers are happy to take your money to advertise in their catalogues but this rarely works and you need to get out and shout from the rooftops just how good your new drink brand is and why consumers should cross the road to buy it
Last but not least is Exporting you Drink to Europe and the World, most of the time this involves International Exhibitions and usually there is support from your Govt to do this BUT you need to understand the requirements for each country. Export is great as you get paid upfront and there is usually little or no marketing spend, but this needs to reflect in the price they pay
