In 2009, we witnessed a big flop in Tropicana’s rebranding effort. Experts are now weighing in on Coca-Cola’s rebranding of their orange juice brand, Minute Maid:
The visual brand assets that distinguished Tropicana were traded for a generic, minimalistic, trendy package design. In barely over a month, Tropicana’s refreshed packaging was scrapped due to consumer discontent and lost sales; the traditional packaging was quickly reinstated. But don’t just take that from me, according to a recent article in Advertising Age, "Coca-Cola Juices Get Ready for a New Look", "Sales of the Tropicana Pure Premium line plummeted 20% between January 1 and February 22, costing the brand tens of millions of dollars". The debacle saw double digit sales increases for Minute Maid during that same period. Was Coke’s brand the beneficiary of the Tropicana debacle? You bet it was.
Do you think this will be a successful rebranding? Or should Minute Maid have simply sat back to collect on Tropicana’s mistakes?
