...Problem Statement and Criteria Jamba Juice PROBLEM STATEMENT In the past, Jamba Juice Company had a primary growth strategy of increasing brand awareness through accelerated franchise development and penetration of existing markets. However, due to increased market saturation, Jamba Juice has had a difficult time competing with other premium quality blended-to-order fruit smoothies, squeezed-to-order juices, blended beverages, and healthy snack companies. From 2008 to 2010 Jamba Juice experienced a negative difference in total revenue of over $80,000. In addition, from 2007 to 2010, Jamba Juice had fallen off the list of one of the Top 50 Quick-Service and Fast-Casual Chains, to 57th in its market segment. This is directly related to a lack of promotions, lack of customer retention, and lack of seasonally appropriate menu items during the cooler seasons. As market penetration continues, solid growth strategies will be extremely important to remain competitive in the market. CRITERIA Criteria 1: Increase the percentage of sales during the cold season by 5% over a 3-year period. Criteria 2: A 5% improvement in customer retention rates over a 3-year period. Criteria 3: Increase market share by 2% over the next 3 years. ALTERNATIVES Alternative A: Develop a product that is desirable to consumers during the cold season. Alternative B: Enhance the customer loyalty program, offering more incentives to return. Alternative C: Create and expand...

...MGT 4800 – Strategic Management Case Study Write Up – Jamba Juice April 8, 2013 Major trends in the general environment Jamba Juice has tried to capture a good portion of health conscious consumers by providing healthy smoothies and other nutritious foods for customers on the go. Even though there are direct competitors such as Planet Smoothie, Starbucks, Dunkin Donuts, Panera Bread and McDonalds, Jamba Juice remains competitive by offering its unique blend of smoothies. They are made with real fruit and 100% fruit juices that are blended to order. They are also rich in vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fiber. No other competitor comes close to providing such a healthy substitute. In addition, Jamba Juice is trying a new tactic by offering baked goods, oatmeal, wraps, sandwiches and flatbreads in order to attract more customers. To stay on trend with the hot beverage market, Jamba has recently added its hot blends products which include three tea latte flavors, six varieties of tea pouches and classic hot chocolate made with premium natural and organic ingredients. To differentiate itself from traditional fast food competitors, Jamba Juice has positioned its products, made from fresh produce and natural ingredients, as healthy alternatives to conventional fast food fare. Due to the vast options in size, calorie content and relative sweetness, Jamba’s smoothies, baked goods and meals could serve as a light snack, sweet treat, or meal replacement for on-the-go...

...Case analysis for Jamba Juice and the Foam Cup Yichao Song 02/17/2015 The famous smoothie company, Jamba Juice is facing a significant issue that a student has stated a petition against Jamba’s foam cup because it is not environment friendly and harmful to health. As CEO of Jamba, James White has to come up with a strategic breakthrough to face with the issue. As a CEO of the company, he has to consider the benefits from each group of stakeholders, such as customer, shareholders, and environment activist. First, there is no doubt that some customers of Jamba Juice prefer using polystyrene foam cups because it is very convenient to them. With polystyrene foam cups, they don't have to bring their own cups and clean them after using. More importantly, compare with other types of disposable cups, polystyrene foam ones are good insulators, which are able to keep warm drinks warm and cold drinks cold. On the other hands, since Jamba is building its name as a green and healthy drink, most of its customer are educated and care about their health. They would prefer using those harmless and environment friendly cups. In that case, I would like to believe that its customer will not fully support polystyrene foam cups. For the shareholders, most of them will pay more attention in short-term profitability of the company. Especially, when the company is facing net losses in the past few years, they might compromise companies’ reputation to gain short-term interests. Using polystyrene...

The indoor tanning industry is a 5 billion dollar industry serving more than 30 million Americans. We intend to merge these two productive industries under one roof and reap the benefits of a combined 7-8 billion dollar industry. From 2001 to 2006 smoothie sales grew at a rate of 82%.

Busy people find ways to work more efficiently in order to achieve desired results; that includes tanning then reaching for a refreshing beverage. Sun Tan is a full service smoothie café and tanning salon offering a fun Polynesian theme including healthy snacks and collectibles.

...industry is growing at an annual rate of 3 percent, while the fresh juice and smoothie sector is growing at an annual rate estimated at 30 percent. Jamba Juice offer customers a healthy, quick service food concept ideal for health conscious customers. Jamba Juice is a chain of specialty restaurants. As the name suggests, Jamba Juice is retailer that sells a variety of different types of juice drinks and smoothies. JJ's goal is to provide customers with a healthy alternative to fast food that tastes great, is convenient, nutritious, and suited for their customers' active lifestyles. Jamba Juice does not sell anything that customers could not make for themselves at home. With a lot of imitators entering the business, all of whose names began with the word "juice," Perron wanted to distinguish the company from the pack. Moreover, Jamba Juice became a store concept that offered a hipper, festive, more Starbuck-like quality, a decided move away from a bland health store look. The word "jamba" means "to celebrate" in Swahili, and in turn Jamba Juice celebrated a healthy lifestyle. The brightly colored decor of the new stores and the smoothie names contributed to the effort to brand the Jamba Juice sensibility Perron says. I'm surprised there aren't more companies creating a culture beyond selling, [offering] a soulful experience for the customer. That's been the basis for our success. BUSINESS CONCEPT: Jamba Juice is a company that follows on living a balanced lifestyle that integrates...
