As we all know water is one of the sources for living, we need this to be able to sustain life, and without water we cannot live. It has many ways of usage: primarily it is utilized for drinking purposes, it is also used for bathing reasons, it can be addends for food to be neutralized or in making soup, and it can be blend with something to make juice and many more. Many people love to drink soda as one of their beverage in any kind of parties. Then what is really a soda? It is a drink that contains no alcohol but sugar. A meal will never be complete without a soda on the table. Why? Aside from being delicious it suits in every meal, soda drinks are everywhere in affordable price, plus it is very convenient to drink and bring it wherever you go.
We limit our imagination into making inventive beverages. Usually we see drinks like fruit juices, shakes, frappes, slurps, etc, as we taste it we can easily identify what are its components, or what it is made of. For example we buy shakes particularly mango shake, we can say that its components are mangoes, crushed ice, evaporated milk, and a little of condensed milk sometimes top with whipped cream. But now, our product is made to deceive our consumers’ expectations to what we are marketing. These components are made to trick consumers, that what they really experience is not the one they expect to be in their choice of beverage. But surely we manage to ensure that our product is appetite-friendly for we prove that each part necessary in our product is designed to create harmony through digestion process. Like for instance a calamanisi or scientifically known as (Citrfortunella microcarpa) is a fruit tree native in the Philippines, Its juice is nutritious and traditionally made into a fruit drink that helps prevent respiratory diseases. It also helps strengthen the bones and stimulate growth especially among growing children. It can be used as a flavoring ingredient in desserts, e. g. leche flan, or as an additive in various food preparations, such as fish steak. Its pulp is used as a major ingredient in beverages, syrups, concentrates, and purees. The peel is made into jams, candies, and marmalade. With its alkalinizing effect, on the body calamansi helps circulate blood evenly and facilitates normal digestion. The combination of soda and calamansi is a citrusy delicious sparkling drink that is made to divert consumers’ relish into more exciting ones. On the other hand, fruit is the most natural food, because the fruit itself is not processed. Why? It has no preservatives in it or any artificial ingredients. In addition to that, it makes us feel better simply because it’s nutritious. Also, fruits stimulate our memories because it contains natural sugar, and this sugar helps the brain to function and to remember well. Another is that fruits do not contain cholesterol; in fact, it is the best way for our diet that helps lower high blood pressure, cancer risk and other diseases. It is the healthiest food on earth therefore it is worth spending our money on.
We come up with a beverage that suits the taste of our customers and made some innovation to really catch up their attention. We make use of scraped fruits as our primary product associated with a typical soda and a twist of calamansi. Fruit Sparkle is combination of freshly scraped fruits and the most thirst quenching soda. The only thing you need to do is to get a fresh fruit, scrape it, and put it in a glass of cold soda. It comes in different kinds of flavor depending on what you like. Fruit Sparkle is not just any ordinary drink. It has the whole package of refreshment and healthy drink.

INDUSTRY ANALYSIS
THREAT OF NEW ENTRANT
The threat of new entrant is high because it is easy for those who want to enter the industry because this kind of business only requires a small amount of capitalization.
RIVALRY AMONG EXISTING FIRMS
The company considers all companies that offer cold beverages as their major competitor because the competitive situation is very high due to the number of competitors that is already out in the market. Competition is more intense when competitors are tempted to use price cuts or other Marketing tactics to boost unit volume.
THREAT FOR SUBSTITUTE PRODUCT
There is a high threat for substitute product because there are many alternative products that is offered in the market such as fruit shake, plain soda and juice. But if the company’s price is very reasonable and other substitute product has a weak competitive force, it would be difficult or costly for customers to switch to substitutes.
BARGAINING POWER OF BUYERS
We can reduce the bargaining power of your customers by increasing their loyalty to your business through partnerships or loyalty programs, selling directly to consumers, or increasing the inherent or perceived value of a product by adding features or branding. In addition, we can select the customers who have little knowledge of the market and have less power, so we can enhance your profitability. Therefore, there must be creativity in dealing with consumers, usually by offering loyalty programs and increasing perceived value.
BARGAINING POWER OF SUPPLIERS
Main supply decisions lies with the key product ingredients- fruit and soda. There is a need to be concerned about the supply and demand for the product. As supply becomes short, the manager will find that suppliers have increasing bargaining power. Contracts and positive relationships with suppliers and producers are another way that can manage the uncertainty and power of suppliers. Recognizing the power of suppliers and the influence of outside factors (e. g., knowledge and weather) is an important factor to be considered as to finding a place in the market. Reduce inventory costs by providing just-in-time deliveries. Enhance the value of goods and services supplied by making effective use of information about customer needs and preferences, and Speed the adoption of new technologies.
