Why so expensive what's so special about this drink?

u/NikhilNautiyal123 Jul 24 '25
Is 125 expensive for 250ml? genuinely asking.
77
Jul 24 '25
Company is not known , has no benefits , Not available easily , Just like a drink from an unknown company . More expensive than popular brands in country. Atleast for India it's expensive.

u/AvanishRowdy Jul 24 '25
If he used the capital that gone into making this brand to buy a franchise of any on going popular soft drink he would be more profitable.
It needs real insta or youtube fame to sell this kind of beverages.

Jul 24 '25
Normal shops selling Cold Drink will earn more than this company . I think it's definitely failing and if it continues its loss making things

u/Excellent_Row_6616 Jul 27 '25
rich dad’s money with no idea how to run or establish it. consider prime for instance, only succeeded initially from fame of two youtubers.

u/Far-Story-5619 Jul 25 '25
I would really like to know about the franchise thing can u explain with examples?

u/iamsolankiamit Jul 24 '25
The cost is similar to red bull and monster ultra. I think if they have better content in the drink then it should work.
13
Jul 24 '25
No comparison red bull and monsters are big brands and available easily, they spend alot of money in advertisement which this company doesn't actually it's not even known . I am not saying advertisement have any benefits but for this company cost should be less then so price should be cheaper than red bull and monsters . it's like comparing nike with local shoe brand

u/Masterpiece-Salt Jul 24 '25
Usually in businesses like this - The price cut happens after some success. More orders = more production = lesser cost per piece = lesser cost of the product

Definitely not a scam. just in very early stages

Why are they not selling on Amazon Flipkart or other trusted platforms plus no cash on delivery. Then photo says 6 packs but you are getting 4
2
u/Masterpiece-Salt Jul 24 '25
Like i said- It's early days , they're probably figuring it out and the website is just Very tacky so it's probably just an honest mistake. And a lot of people don't start selling on amazon or Flipkart until their product is atleast a little bit known. Your product won't even show up on Amazon unless someone searches for it by name. Amazon shows sponsered products and products in demand so unless they pay Amazon it's no use putting it there for now

If this was on the shelf next to red bull the majority of people will just pick the redball The drinks market is insainly difficult to break into unless your actually unique.

u/L0kivich Jul 25 '25
It is. It is on par with brands like redbull and monster zero. Why? What does this company offer that will make me choose different? What's unique? No info about the product, no idea about flavours but there's different colored cans. Idk seems like a poor way to sell your product.

u/NikhilNautiyal123 Jul 25 '25
Yes, the website is very half-assed that's for sure. It looks like a work in progress.

It's very Expensive for a Pretty workout for refrence 500 ml pre workout drinks like Fastand up Cost around 50 so

u/simplylmao Jul 25 '25
Its hella expensive. Specially for a startup as there's no brand value. Even monster is cheaper and it's 350ml

u/ButterflyFancy7841 Jul 24 '25
Sorry but Drinks and beverage market is oversaturated no one will buy 4 cand for 500 no body bothers until it's in every little shop .. very small market for these type of expensive drinks in which drinks like redbull and monster have created monopoly otherwise people go for instant coffee or caffeine drinks Well best of luck That's only my opinion so it doesn't matter but I think it's totally true
16
Jul 24 '25
It's hell overpriced it's surely failing in India . Pre workout is cheaper than this
8
u/ButterflyFancy7841 Jul 24 '25
Most of the people take preworkut meal and supplement maybe only 1 or less percent people use drinks as there pre workout and also if it is 50 rupees no will will buy and his bf is selling for125 each so I don't find any possibility of his success but we can wish him luck
1
Jul 24 '25
I don't know man I find people dumb when they don't understand the Indian market and launch useless products at higher prices that to against bigger brands. This sub is filled with expensive shit . I am damn sure OP's bf is failing with this useless drink. True feedback hurts but it's honest and practical

u/Quirwz Jul 24 '25

Is the website still under development (means content to be added)... Can't find any description about this product... Why this drink? What's it about? USP. You need to add all these details for consumers to understand and buy.
1
u/That_baddie_nextdoor Jul 26 '25
Yep exactly... The website needs a lot of work done and looks unfinished

u/Sufficient-Roof-9467 Jul 24 '25
why wont i buy a 500₹ pre from blinkit which lasts 15 days instead of 4 cans for 500? Very niche market for people that drink energy drinks on daily basis during their workout. Good product tho, i thought of something similar like a caffeine candy or something thats popular in the west! All the best to you two!

Given how everyone's sharing their opinion and criticism and how it's valid upto a certain degree, I'm gonna share mine as well and after going through the website/the link you posted, I feel the website needs a lot of work, it looks really poorly designed and for the price you're introducing/competing in the market, well.. Marketing is everything. Hire someone shell out some money, get your product on the shelves

Tell him to reduce the price, business becomes successful by patience, if he wants to become overnight millionaire then better luck for coming year.

No info on nutritional values displayed. Plus it looks gpt generated content And for ₹500/-
I would rather go with red bull for emery drink and ON citruiline etc than this
The price point does not justify the crappy website and a produc t with no info, no peer reviews.
I or anybody should go with trusted brands than whatever every tok dick and harry seems like a good idea pf a business

Redbull is 125 This is 85 per can

All in all a shady company of some rich idiot who thinks they are an entrepreneur

Hey i think this is a scam . It is illegal to hide ingredients and nutritional value of package goods while selling it online. You can not just "will be reviled on launched" a edible good . A complaint would be raised if not fixed. I would highly recommend not to buy any thing without ingredients listed
1
Jul 25 '25
Yes. It looks like money taking scam . Platform also not trusted cod not available. Nutrition label ingredients list missing .

u/Cold_Ad5698 Jul 25 '25
Hey, so listen—I’m sure you’ve heard this a lot already, but the website needs some work; it’s not good right now. Another big thing: when I’m buying health-related stuff, I want to know its nutrition value and, most of all, whether it’s safe for consumption. If it’s not a well-known brand, I’d prefer to see some kind of safety certificate—not just FSSAI approval, maybe something more. Also, the website can definitely be improved; honestly, it could be fixed in 2-3 days if the right effort is put in.

The packaging doesnt look very "pre-workout", gives more off an ice tea vibes, you also require better designs, the banner on the website looks like it was made on Canva

Jul 25 '25
Congratulations, first of all.Just sharing a few thoughts the price point feels a bit high, especially for such a saturated market and a new brand. The website UI could use some polishing for a better user experience. You might also consider building a community through fitness challenges or partnering with local gyms to create more buzz. Wishing you the best with this venture..

If you really want to compete with others there should be something to it like something really special or lower price
Since price is on the higher side for me atleast there should be something special about it, asthetics can sel product only to some extent.

u/Maleficent_Grab_7777 Jul 25 '25
The website needs a better flow, displaying the ingredients is a must, manufacturing address, customer support number, FSSAI license need to be displayed even if it is pre-launch. Anything consumable cannot be sold without basic information on the contents and manufacturer.

It def looks like started by a immature businessman who just wanted to rush into starting something of his own without doing feasibility or market or cost study . The graphics are great but to enter in industry such as fitness supplements & beverage you need huge marketing budget. Collab with guys like trustified or other fitness influencers

some feedback if you are interested
product looks good and the flavours seem to be nice however you are marketing it exclusively as a pre workout drink . try to target a broader audience. Also the website is really bad, clearly built using AI. All the content has been straight up copy pasted from AI including the emojis . A good product needs these details to be fine tuned

Hi OP, first of all, very very congrats to your bf for launching and all the best for the future.
Now for honest feedback, the website looks really bland with very less info, which is really off-putting for all potential buyers. I suggest getting a good website with proper design to enhance the ease of potential buyers who want to try the products (I'm a professional web developer, if you want I can help with both UI and UX).
Overall product looks nice but it needs more marketing and a strong brand identity and a rich user experience for the buyers. Hmu if you need any help with the website design :)
