Il serait intéressant de mettre en parallèle l'histoire de mise en marchée de REDBULL vs PURPLE BEVERAGE COMPANY INC.

Il me semble que ce produit est du type "à la mode". Soit cela sera très populaire ou pas du tout.

Non pas encore au Québec.
La compagnie semble vouloir mettre le paquet dans la région de Boston présentement.
La mise en marché coûte beaucoup d'argent et ça prend une bonne stratégie.
