The brand has a website that currently list all of their current products. Along with a list of recipes that people can make using their products. They actively use most of their social media accounts. The brand uses a mix of storytelling and focuses on using social media to promote their current or new season products. They also use billboards and have post on bus stops to promote their items. They use both social media an out of home marketing which has been working for the brand. They are very known and have no problem bringing in customers.

I have not noticed any of their sales promotion. There are many reasons for this, one being because of the algorithm and another being due to the fact that they don't use their TikTok account as much as I think they should be. Out of every social media app there is I mostly use TikTok as my main source of entertainment and the brand hasn't posted something new in a year. By increasing the use of the app I think they will be able to bring in more customers. Chobani does use personal selling by sampling their products and by having brand ambassador events. Their use of this is limited and I think if they did more they would be able to sell more of their products.

Chobani specifically uses intensive distribution. They distribute to multiple different grocery stores instead of only a selective group of stores. The yogurt brand uses the PepsiCo company. This partnership was made and equity helps bring in customers to both brands. Chobani uses its chilled distribution network which helps their costumers to get a quicker response to their needs.

The brand can be found in multiple stores around the world. This gives their consumers easy access to their products which also makes their consumers realize that the yogurt brand is reliable. The yogurt can be found in Costco and consumers have the opportunity to buy the yogurt in bulk. Chobani can also be found at Walmart, Sams club, and Whole Foods. Some places may need memberships but the other stores don't require memberships, allowing anyone to be able to purchase their products.

Chobani has one store open that is located in New York. It is more of a cafe that people can go to to buy both savory and sweet yogurt creations along with soups, salads, bagels, and sandwiches. Chobani is known to be a mass merchandiser because they use large supermarkets to carry their products.

The rise of plant-based alternatives

Chobani have been presented with both opportunities and threats. A threat that they have been facing is the constant demand for more plant based alternatives. Although there is lots of demand it is understandable that the brand may be hesitant to ender the plant based market because it is very competitive. Some risks that come with plant based alternatives are:

less demand for dairy products: The brand is known for their greek yogurt. The brand has expanded to producing oak milk, coffee creamers, and yogurts. The demand for these products continue to increased over the years. This can cause their consumers to switch to consuming their plant based products which will cause a drop in demand for their dairy products.

Competition: The plant base market has been growing because many yogurt consumers have been made aware of the environments sustainability and animal welfare. As a result, many have chosen to switch to plant based products. Because there are many brands that also produce plant based products it reduces Chobanis advantages. It also no longer makes them stand out due to a variety of brands that produce different products besides yogurt that are also in the market.

High production cost: The ingredients that make these products non dairy are higher in costs. Coconuts, almonds, and oats are usually used to make them and are more expensive than milk that is used to make dairy products. Once the brand becomes more known for their plant based products, the cost of the materials will start to add up. Possibly causing the brand to lose money.

Chobani

Chobani Yogurt is a greek yogurt brand that focuses on making a healthy and tasteful yogurt option. I enjoy eating a yogurt bowl and the health of it is important to me along with the taste. Chobani yogurt offers lots of different flavors and the brand allows consumers to incorporate them in smoothies, yogurt bowls, and they even offer a yogurt drink for those who wish to take it on the go. The brand does not only offer different flavors for their yogurts but also made sure to have different yogurt drink flavors. Greek yogurt contains probiotics, protein, and is a great source of calcium.
