Primary Research
Survey Results (90 respondents)
• Positive attitude towards Smoothies / freshly made natural
juices
• High demand – not saturated / growing market
• Accepted by the target group / health-conscious people
perceived as healthy fast-food alternative (tourists and short/long-term residents)
Main reasons for not consuming:
• Doubts on quality / No confidence in cleanliness
• Too expensive
• Not available (in the variety that I would like them)

Target & Strategy
• “Smoothie Barcelona’s customers are likely to be followers of a healthy
type of lifestyle. Additionally and as a result of the scarce restrictions that
the product has in terms of age, gender and benefits, a secondary will be
the tourists that come to city and young professionals that are adopting
new trends”.
