1. Executive summary
STAR KOMBUCHA is a healthy fermented drink with 100% natural
ingredients from tea, SCOBY, natural fruits and herbs. It is rich in probiotics
(lactobacillus), organic acids, antioxidants, vitamin B, polyphenols, EGCG that have
wonderful health benefits, especially for your gut and immune system. Kombucha
originated from the Eastern regions around 2,000 years ago. It was widely known as
the “Tea of 2020 Immortality”.
Kombucha fermentation process takes 30 days, fresh ingredients include pure
tea, SCOBY, pressed juice, and herbs. In the modern world, Kombucha has become a
daily beverage preference to nourish mind, body & soul. People around the world,
from the U.S. to Canada, France, Germany, and many more countries are drinking
kombucha as a healthy alternative beverage, and its amazing taste. The mission of Star
Kombucha is to spread our craft to the world, the journey to improving health, one gut
at a time.
However, when it came to accessing the Vietnamese market, Star Kombucha
faced several hurdles and challenges. For Vietnamese customers, fermented tea is an
unusual drink, therefore they are still wary of it. Furthermore, Star Kombucha's
communication operations in the Vietnamese market have not significantly increased
the brand's appeal. Our company will suggest communication actions directed at the
target audience in the article "STAR KOMBUCHA INTEGRATED MARKETING
COMMUNICATION PLAN FOR THE FIRST 6 MONTHS OF 2022" The first
section will include research on the fermented tea market in Vietnam, Star
Kombucha's target market, and a SWOT analysis. Then we'll establish the strategy's
objectives, create innovative tactics, plan and strategize communication, sales
promotion, and public relations. Then, we will design a timetable and a budget.

Finally, measuring effectiveness and control.

2. The fermented tea market
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, 57% of global consumers said
they were worried about their body's immunity. As consumers seek to boost their
1

immune system, they are increasingly interested in products that boost their immune
system and overall health.
In addition, the consequences of the pandemic are more severe for people with
hypertension, diabetes and cardiovascular disease, making consumers realize the
importance of weight management. This anxiety is likely to increase the need for
functional solutions that support healthy weight management. More specifically about
the concern of consumers when type 2 diabetes is still a threat to all of humanity. In
2019, there were 88 million people in Southeast Asia with diabetes, the trend will
increase sharply in 2045, increasing by 75% or 153 million people.
In particular, it entails the risk of obesity, lipid metabolism disorders, high
blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, ... Market trends have changed, requiring
products to meet this demand. This is an opportunity for the development of health
care products according to the general trend of the world. Kombucha is a new product
that promises to explode in the future. The size of the world's Kombucha market is
forecast to grow, reaching from $3.5 billion to $5 billion by 2025 (Kim & Adhikari)

3. Star Kombucha target market:
Although we call it a drink, Star Kombucha is not a beverage, but a dietary

supplement, flavored to make it easier to drink. Also because there are many different
flavors, the product is easily confused with soft drinks. The product is recommended
to use whenever the body feels tired or to drink 1-2 cans daily to maintain good
health.
In the same segment of Star Kombucha are functional food supplements, not
soft drinks or fermented juices. The market for this drink are consumers (or private
buyers) (B2C) and business (B2B)
Demographic:
Health is the most important market. This product is aimed at a target group of
women aged 18-44 (gen Z & Y) who are starting to care about their health and beauty.
They are well-informed and educated adults. Therefore they are professional
occupations and of upper-middle class. So they are not only ready to purchase a
2

product which is good for their health but also able to pay more for it. They are most
likely to already own a functional food supplement or similar.
Supermarkets and agents are also the customers that Star Kombucha is aiming
for. Although less than 10 years of existence, the strong development of modern
distribution channels (Bach Hoa Xanh, Vinmart, convenience store chains,...) in recent
years has had a great influence on consumption trends. Retailers have great influence
in bringing products to consumers, so they are important partners that Star Kombucha
aims to promote products, convincing them to bring Star Kombucha to put on shelves
in the store. According to statistics, the customers who come to these stores are the
consumers that Star kombucha is aiming for.
Psychographic:

Retail systems are notoriously difficult to choose for companies that supply
products. But the development of this distribution system will greatly contribute to the
development of product reputation.
 Health care
Those who are recognizing the health issues and would like to improve them.
This group is likely to be exposed to internet advertising and effects from
acquaintances but that is not the only reason to motivate them to purchase. The size of
this group is growing everyday and promises huge growth potential for this market.
 Looking for supplement product
A common problem among this target group is chronic stress. The root of this
problem comes from the pressure of life plus the lifestyle and way of living of each
person. If everyone is interested in a healthy lifestyle and eating, there will be no need
for additional foods like Kombucha. If not, Star Kombucha will help balance and
supplement the missing nutrients.
Kombucha fermented drink is effective in maintaining and restoring health
thanks to its high antioxidant, detoxifying and antibacterial ingredients, good for the
digestive system and strengthening the immune system.

We are working on a plan to educate all consumers in the country with the right
knowledge about the product as well as change the existing misconceptions about
drinking water for health. However, we are still focusing on customers living in big
cities including: Ho Chi Minh city, Hanoi and Danang because consumers in this area
are modern citizens, care about health and ready to accept new products faster.

With a system of stores stretching across the country, especially in big cities
(Star Kombucha's main market). Cooperation with large retailers will help products
close to consumers and easy to purchase when there is a need.

own set of symptoms and intensity. Some typical issues, such as stretch marks, weight
gain, hair loss, and so on, cause worry. Nhat Trung's 1990 film is about a group of
close friends made up of three females in their thirties who are dealing with issues

brand in the 1990 film has a significant value for women, since it can assist them
