Brand: Naturade Total Soy
Company: Naturade, Inc.
Problem/Opportunity:
Naturade Total Soy, a meal replacement shake for weight loss and the #1 Naturade brand, was slumping at Sam’s Club, its #1 customer. The brand was hurt by the new Slim Fast intro, and in certain danger of being discontinued; the company, the pioneer in natural protein powders, couldn’t survive losing this account.
Solution:
Hazlin turned declines into double-digit sales gains and saved the business with a reformulated and re-positioned product that outsold Slim Fast head-to- head and forced them out of the account. Naturade Total Soy was re-positioned to a “weight loss/ cholesterol reduction” benefit from its original benefit of “Soy Protein for heart health.” It was re-launched in new packaging behind an entirely new, cost reduced, taste improved formula.
