Generally there are 3 categories of sparkling water. The
therapeutic one, used to rebalance mineral supplies or even to treat some diseases:
Rozana and Vichy. The Gastronomic one, carbonated mineral water has specific
taste and brand image: San Pellegrino, Badoit and Quezac. And we have the
“family” one, not to mineralized, thirst quenching, and digestive properties,
they are suitable for the whole family. It is the case of Perrier, ideal for
low salt diet, Salvetat, appreciated for its light sparkle water and neutral
taste, and Saint-Amand, without any nitrate.
First, brands can be associated with special moments of consumption by recommending
their customers to share, to enjoy and relax from stressful life with their
product. Then, they can also recommend to consume their product with meal and
share with family by emphasizing on the flavor and quality. And other brands can
emphasize the importance of their origins and traditions. Badoit, for example,
has tourism activities to allow customers to visit their springs in order to
convince them for its high quality and elegance.
Sparkling
waters can be associated to specific activities by cooperating with clubs,
bars, hotels and events in order to reinforce a nightlife and dynamic culture.
Nowadays, for example, many bars develop and share their formidable cocktail’s
menu, actually, which are blended with Perrier. Perrier has become one symbol
of fad.
Many
French like to enjoy this one in the café or bar that is a part of their lives.
Not only the flavor, but also the visual expression attracts numerous fans. Let’s
look, for example, at the four steps of Perrier brand essence which key word is Refreshment.
