Trang 8Smoothie business is currently a business form chosen by many young people, because it onlyneeds a small amount of investment but brings a very high source of revenue Towards apositive purpose, both bringing income, and trading a healthy drink for customers, the price isnot too expensive, meeting the needs of many people's delicious and nutritious food, especiallystudents away from home, do not have time, or conditions to buy a blender
Smoothies are drinks suitable for all ages from the elderly to children, in order to attractcustomers, from the choice of packaging to the way of serving and how to promote on socialnetworking sites, the Choosing a source of fresh, clean, and quality fruit is the most importantstep
The same smoothie flavor, but each glass will have a different taste due to the method,ingredients and recipe, so learning about ingredients as well as milk, ice and fruit recipes isresearched and researched apparently through a famous smoothie shop in Thu Duc district.Besides, in order to promote the movement of green living to reduce waste and pollution, ourteam decided to choose paper straws to save the maximum amount of plastic waste into theenvironment
During the complicated situation of the Covid-19 epidemic, mass gatherings are notrecommended, so the sale of takeaway drinks is very important and necessary
Therefore, our group chose the online business of smoothies and health drinks as the topic ofthe final report on E-commerce
Trang 9CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Reasons for choosing the topic
Currently, Vietnam's beverage market is very diverse According to EVBN data and LINHPHAM's chart, it shows:
In 2015, the consumption of soft drinks (juice, bottled water, ready-to-drink tea/coffee) andcarbonated soft drinks in Vietnam reached 2.4 billion liters and 1.1 billion liters respectively
By 2020, sales by each sector are estimated at 3.3 billion liters and 1.5 billion liters,respectively
In terms of sales value, these sub-sectors will be among the fastest growing in the fast-movingconsumer goods (FMCG) industry, with revenue forecast at $7.65 billion in 2020
From the above data, it is shown that Vietnam is a very potential market in the field ofbeverage consumption
Figure 1 1 Sales of soft drinks and fizzy soft drinks in Vietnam in 2015-2020.
Saigon at night does not sleep, is a crowded place Summer is hot, winter is not cold There are
no famous drinks such as apricot juice, crocodile juice of Hanoi, teas of the West, and teas ofthe Central region, but Saigon has all kinds of drinks from all parts of the country Amongthem, smoothies are probably the most popular drinks, every few kilometers you can find atrolley or a smoothie shop Easy to drink, easy to buy, easy to carry but also nutritious Unlike
Trang 10carbonated drinks that are used in family meals or parties, smoothies are very suitable for chats,meetings, sipping and talking.
With a price of 15-25k, it is really reasonable compared to other drinks such as milk tea, beer,wine, compared to the value that customers receive

Trang 14CHAPTER 2: ANALYSIS OF THE MARKET 2.1 PESTLE Analysis
Politics
Political stability and consistency in policy views make investors have an optimistic view ofthe market, which is a factor attracting foreign investment to Vietnam On the other hand, astable political background also contributes to promoting the development of businesses.Enterprises are not under pressure of political instability, have basic conditions to serveproduction Political stability makes a lot of foreign investment in businesses, businesses canrely on that capital to develop production and business, expand market share
Economic
Vietnam is considered a country with a stable political environment, few issues related toreligion and ethnic conflicts That stability is always considered a favorable and attractiveopportunity for strategic activities of domestic and foreign investors, manufacturers andbusinesses
Social-cultural
Tastes and trends:
Currently, Vietnam is still a developing country, so the essential consumption needs in life stillaccount for a very high proportion of the consumption structure (about 50%) and will be higher
in many years to come when the life expectancy of the population increases people's lives areimproved According to some evaluations of investors in the beverage industry, currently,Vietnam consumes a large volume of beverage products, about 4.2 billion liters per year and is
a very developing market Especially, the demand for non-carbonated soft drinks and fruitdrinks is increasing sharply, reaching nearly 30% per year Surveys on urban households alsoshow that 70% are more concerned about their health than before, 74% want to use vitaminsand minerals, and 80% prefer to buy products with active ingredients healthful substances such
as ginseng, calcium The trend of using healthy beverages is booming in Vietnam, especially
in big cities AsiaPanel's research also shows that packaging is having a great influence onconsumers' choice because 57% of respondents will choose to buy a drinkable product right out
of the box
Style of life:
Trang 15The fast pace of life and modern lifestyle make people not have much time to take care of theirfamily's health and themselves Therefore, consumers are gradually turning to choose healthynatural products such as milk, dairy products, juices, smoothies, bottled water Today ,gathering friends and colleagues at beverage shops after school hours is a regular habit ofeveryone Meeting the needs of these objects, the business has been in the right direction ofdevelopment and brings profits.
Customs, habits and traditions:
Vietnam started out as an agricultural country, this makes Vietnam have a eating culture thatuses a lot of vegetables, tubers and fruits Therefore, Vietnamese people have been very close
to these products for a long time Drinks from nature such as green tea, squash, coconut milk Especially drinking tea is a long-standing culture in Vietnamese customs And one of theprominent and popular products is the natural green tea flavored drinks
Population:
Vietnam is a developing country with a population of about 85.7 million people (ranked 13th inthe world) The average annual population growth rate in the period 1999-2009 was 1.2%/year.Therefore, this is both a potential and promising consumption market, as well as an abundanthuman resource with low labor cost At the same time, the proportion of young and middle-aged people is quite high, carrying a large number of customers Thus, our country with a largepopulation, rapid urbanization, and a large proportion of young people is a good market with anabundant number of customers
Technological
Currently, the production of fruit juice in Vietnam is developing very strongly However, thecurrent scale and potential are still not met For the beverage industry, the Ministry of Industryand Trade encourages all economic sectors to invest in production using modern equipment andtechnology, ensuring food hygiene and environmental protection To encourage enterprises touse domestic raw materials in association with the construction of raw material zones inlocalities In particular, priority is given to enterprises producing soft drinks from fresh fruitsand nutritious beverages
Legal
Trang 16The beverage industry is a fast-growing industry and has been given preferential treatment bythe State to introduce policies and laws so that enterprises in the industry can compete, developand expand their scale compared to their competitors
2.2 External factors: analysis according to the model FIVE FORCES
Supplier
Raw materials directly from unlimited places such as Vinh Long, Ben Tre, Lam Dong andsome other places These are materials that are easy to find in the market because there aremany competing suppliers, so we are not completely dependent on the supplier
Low cost of switching suppliers Therefore, the supplier has little power in the supply ofproducts , as well as changes in prices
Customer
Target customers are mainly students as well as customers who are interested in natural healthand beauty Although not specialized with suppliers, many people still choose the option ofready-made drinks rather than buying ingredients to make by themselves because of their busylives
Competitors
At present, milk tea and coffee shops are springing up everywhere and are becoming more andmore popular and leading to saturation Thus contributing to the difference for the juiceindustry pure fresh fruit grows and creates many competitive advantages
Fruit juices and natural herbal juices account for about 40% of the beverage market.Consumersprefer these drinks not only because of the convenience "anytime, anywhere" but also because
of the association with the image of modern extraction technology that takes the essence offresh fruit and mixes it into a beverage However, the actual amount of "natural" ingredients inthis country is known only by the manufacturer When opening cans and bottles of ready-to-drink water, almost everyone fully believes that they are enjoying the wonderful flavors fromnature, many minerals and vitamins without having to make it themselves But in reality, thesejuices are ultimately not comparable to fresh produce Because the mixing technology, inaddition to the profit, has made some products not as guaranteed as advertised Looking at thepackaging, most orange juice is made from flavoring Specifically, a type of water that isconsidered fresh like PesiCo's Twister has the composition of reconstituted orange juice from
Trang 1765% concentrated orange juice (150g/ l ), and some ingredients of acidity regulators,stabilizers, and antioxidants, antioxidant, natural orange flavor and varieties, preservative 202,synthetic color Orangia 's orange juice boasts of "pure fresh orange cloves" also only 12%pure orange juice, 2% orange cloves, the rest is carbonated water, orange essential oil
2.3 Inner factor
2.4 Competitor analysis
Fruit juice has many customers as well as subjective advantages But to be successful is noteasy and of course there will also be competitors They also want to get what they want, so wehave to do better than the competition to attract customers Currently, there are manycompetitors that we face, they have attracted a significant number of patrons, in addition ourcompetitors are other beverage products such as soft drinks gas
2.5 SWOT matrix analysis
Strengths
+ Quality products, safe for health (sourced raw materials, clear origin and tested to ensure they
do not contain harmful chemicals to the body)
+ Products with high aesthetics, beautifully decorated and presented
+ Highly personalized products, tailored to the needs and desires of customers
+ Reasonable prices compared to the common ground
+ Meet the needs of target customers: quickly, conveniently
+ Provide customers with information about the nutritional value of the product, support theprocess of training and dieting
+ The source of clean fruits often comes with high prices, Vietnamese people still prefer cheapfruits and are not aware of food hygiene issues, and it is more difficult for students to sell at
Trang 18high prices It is difficult to keep the freshness of fruit during distribution and transportation tocustomers, especially with fruits that are peeled and prepared
+ High cost of advertising to reach customers
+ Because clean and fresh fruit is difficult to preserve for a long time, it is necessary to targetthe amount of fruit used for sale during the day and how to rotate capital

*Promotion
Trang 22Good quality products, ensuring health is a top priority in many different countries Nielsensaid that 49% of consumers around the world accept to pay extra for quality and healthyproducts.
In Vietnam, this rate is higher than the global average Accordingly, 65% of Vietnameseconsumers highly appreciate the quality or effectiveness of products Because of the fear of theCovid-19 epidemic, consumers seek assurance that the products and supply chains they use issafe, hygienic and healthy Besides, consumers also need to increase awareness about diet,nutritional needs, mental health, immune system and hygiene safety
At the same time, e-commerce retail channels are also developing rapidly due to the increasingnumber of people using social networks Especially young people join social networks toentertain and shop for themselves and their families Therefore, communicating through socialnetworks with viral videos and images will help brands and products be popularized toconsumers quickly

3.1.2 Overall Marketing Strategy
* New product development stage
Trang 27This is the early stage when a new product is introduced to the market The characteristics ofthis stage are low and slow growth of revenue, low profit or even capital loss for the followingreasons:
- Customers still do not believe in new products, have not given up the habit of using products
in old stores
- The distribution system of YUMMY SMOOTHIE to consumers is not complete
Marketing strategy for this stage:
- Enhance advertising, product introduction and promotion, creating the most favorableconditions for customers to buy products
- Focus sales efforts on the group of customers with the most buying conditions (the group ofpeople who are health-oriented)
- Implement customer care policy to consumers so that they can introduce to their friends aboutthe product
* Growth phase
This is a favorable consumption period Customers begin to trust the product As a result,products began to sell better, sales and profits began to increase rapidly, but competition alsoappeared To prolong this phase, YUMMY SMOOTHIE needs to implement the followingstrategies:
- Improve, improve product quality, innovate product designs
- Implement viral videos in marketing strategy to spread the brand and rice flour straws to thetarget market to create brand recognition in the eyes of users
Trang 28Figure 3 7 Viral video
Trang 29- Continue to build pages with articles using fruits in the menu, articles on consumer
psychology or funny videos to increase engagement
- Penetrate into new markets
- Use new distribution channels
- Timely lower prices to attract customers
• Maturity stage
Growth rate starts to slow down or stagnate, profits increase to a maximum and begin to
decline The reason is fierce competition, products do not meet customer needs
Strategies to survive in this phase are:
- Innovating marketing-mix strategy such as product form, discounting, promotion, increasing customer service, changing consumption channels to find new markets for products, improving some elements and characteristics of the product
- Inventory management combined with enhancing the activities of Sales and Marketing well to
be able to sell all the products in stock to the market
• Recession period
Revenue and profit both fell sharply during this period The reason is that tastes change,
technology changes, creating competing products instead Some competitors withdrew from themarket The rest narrowed the product range, abandoned small markets, cut promotion costs, lowered selling prices (quick sale to recover capital) and prepared to launch new replacement products
3.2 Sales plan
3.2.1 Strategies for the sales force
• Existing resources
- 1 sales website
- The organization management team consists of 7 members
• Build sales force
The sales force of YUMMY SMOOTHIE consists of members who are directly responsible forsales activities The forces of YUMMY SMOOTHIE include: internal forces and external forces
