The blueprint for your value product.
| Parameter | Recommendation | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Protein per Serving | 23g | Matches the standard protein content in the value segment, meeting customer expectations for a product designed for building muscle mass. |
| Protein Source | Whey Protein Blend (Concentrate & Isolate) | Utilizes a cost-effective blend that is common among competitors, allowing for a competitive price point while still offering the benefits of both protein types. |
| Flavor Profile | Core Gourmet Flavors (e.g., Rich Chocolate, Creamy Vanilla, Strawberry Milkshake) | Focuses on widely popular, proven 'gourmet' flavors to maximize appeal and reduce the risk associated with niche tastes. This aligns with the 'gourmet experience' positioning. |
| Packaging Format | 900g Refill Pouch | Competitors offer both tubs and refills. Leading with a refill pouch emphasizes the 'barato' (cheap) and value positioning, suggesting lower packaging costs passed on to the consumer. |
| Key Selling Proposition | Affordable Gourmet Protein for Bulking | Directly addresses the market's desire for a value-oriented, tasty protein powder for fitness goals, incorporating the 'protein powder for bulking' keyword. |
