...Zip-6 in France: A Future Venture Due to the recent ban of the rival drink Red Bull in France, Zip-6 has decided to look into its potential prospects in France. Entering into the French energy drink market could be beneficial not only for Zip-6 but also for a country that is becoming increasingly concerned with the ingredients in energy drinks. In order to make an informed decision concerning the possible entrance into the French energy drink market Zip-6 needs to know what kind of competition currently exists, what the trade limitations might pose a problem, and what entry strategy would be best suited for the situation. One of the biggest influences for the company to enter into a country would be the competition currently on the market in the host country. “The degree of rivalry in the French market is affected by the continuing concentration of market share by two or three players, market rivalry is therefore currently classified as moderate.” [ (MarketlLine Industry Profile Carbonated Soft Drinks in France, 2012) ] The two or three aforementioned companies that have a hold in the French market would be Coca-Cola, Nestle SA, PepsiCo, Inc., and Suntory Group.

By making war to France, they are getting more fame. All of these pictures contain black and white to make the viewer see the Red Bull drink better than the ad, that way they can know what is first, and then will focus their attention into the picture. Also, they are in black and white because they are telling you how boring everything is without Red Bull, and the drink Red Bull is in its colors blue, red, and silver, meaning that if you drink Red Bull your day will brighten up. In the picture with the old man is lifting into the air with his bicycle, there is other people in the background, and they are still in the ground, they cannot fly, because they don’t have Red Bull.
