SWOT AnalysisStrengths-
◦ Trendy◦ Environmentally friendly◦ We offer lifetime guarantee◦ Made in America
A weakness we have at Tervis Tumbler is that despite being around sixty years, we have yet to become a household name.
An opportunity of Tervis Tumbler is that there are not many competitors in this field and those that are involved do not offer all that we do.
Threats to Tervis Tumbler are the growing number of other similar beverage container manufacturers

PEST Analysis Political- no political influences.Economic- possible increase in raw
material prices because of rise in oil prices.
Social- the growing popularity of environmentally friendly products is a great asset.
Technological- development of new plastics may change the design and price of tumblers in the future.

Pricing EnvironmentOther than the prices of other
comparable products, the external environment will not play a significant role upon our pricing decisions
Product is low-involvement◦We hope to increase brand
awareness in order to capture impulse buyers

Demand and CostDemand for reusable, long
lasting beverage containers are high due to growing environmental awareness.
Disposable water bottles will gradually fade in popularity.

StrategiesWe will use strategies such as
Odd Pricing and Bundling

FinancialsOur company has already been
established for over 60 years, meaning that we have a relatively well proven method of going beyond breaking even.
The production cost of each tumbler is $6, which includes both the current material cost as well as labor and building rental fees. When other expenses are factored in, the total is moved up to $8 per tumbler.
A profit of $2 to $5 dollars per tumbler depending on size and customization.
