We sell our products through 3 main channels.
(1) Wholesalers: This includes a number of sectors including health food wholesalers, wholesalers to independent cafes and contract catering wholesalers. We expect this to account for 20% of revenues by Year 3
(2) Direct to retail: This includes sales to supermarkets and other large retailers. We expect this to account for 40% of revenues by Year 3.
(3) Export: With established partners in Europe & the Middle East we aim to grow export sales so they account for 35% or revenues by Year 3.
The remaining 5% of revenues will be come from other channels such as online sales and sales at consumer events.
Larger companies such as Coca Cola and Pepsi have increased market share through the acquisition of brands such as Glaceau Vitamin Water and Innocent. This shows an intent by larger companies to diversify through takeover and offers ViVA potential exit opportunities later down the line.
We aim to grow a strong sustainable business to a stage where the VIVA brand would benefit more from the resources that could be offered by a larger company, at which point we will consider a trade sale.
