  3. Market Overview & Trends • In aggregate the food industry exceeds $1 trillion annually; snack foods account for $60 billion • The snack food market is growing by 1.5% per year; healthy snack foods are growing at 10% per year. Gluten-free is the fastest growing segment of the food allergy/intolerance market and has been experiencing a CAGR of 30% since 2006. • Convenience drives purchase decision, but health is major trend • As a result, major snack food companies are starting to self-regulate but will not admit to wrong-doing or cannibalize existing products 3 3

  4. The Problem • Over two thirds of American adults are overweight; 34% are obese • Over one third of American children and teens are overweight; 17% of this age group is obese • Obesity leads to health risks: diabetes, asthma and heart disease • CAUSE: the astronomical rise in processed foods, added sugar, no fiber and “empty calorie” snack foods that are aggressively marketed to consumers, especially kids and teenagers 3 4

  6. Competition • Hundreds of companies sell snacks foods, some Fortune 500 entities, some startups, and everything in between • First, we don’t focus our messaging and packaging on healthy so much as we use the typical junk food gimmicks to market our products (bright colors, funny names and the general look and feel of typical popular snacks) • Most that market “healthy” snack products are not really selling nutrition but only using terms like “no fat” and “healthy” in their advertising and packaging campaigns • WooHoo is different in two ways: • Second, our products don’t just pretend to be healthy, they are healthy and made with only wholesome and nutritious ingredients 5 6

  9. Marketing Strategy (forward) • Simplify name to “Noobs” or something similar • RAW! Gluten-free, all-natural snack • Move from candy section to raw and/or bulk snack section • Explore other packaging options (3 pieces in flow wrap) to • get product off shelves and into front of store • Explore Halloween pails- seasonal with good brand recognition • Two product demos/month/store to support Whole Foods • business • Facebook advertising to target consumers in Florida • Facebook fan page 10 9

  10. SWOT Analysis Strengths Weaknesses • Have a unique offering and marketing concept at the right time • Enjoy strong relationships with Whole Foods • Have established strong production relationships • Have minimal overhead expenses • Face hundreds of competitors, some much larger and more established • Must fight for shelf space as a relatively unknown brand • Will take time to establish brand credibility with consumers Opportunities Threats • Leverage the relationship with Whole Foods for national distribution • Capitalize on success with Whole Foods to sell into other retail chains • Increasing focus on health in snack foods- additional products • Cannot support Whole Foods successful without additional funding • Will ultimately face competition from the big players with much larger advertising budgets • May face competition from other startup companies 10 8

  11.

  12. Exit Strategy • Build business for next 5+ years, focus on establishing • brand, expanding distribution and developing a strong niche, • consumer following • After achieving $10+ million in revenue, with strong growth • and profitability, look to sell to a strategic buyer • Most likely, strategic buyer will be Fortune 500 food company • focused on developing healthier product lines (as existing • junk food lines continue to face difficult market trends and • potential litigation) • Examples: • LaraBar sold to General Mills in 2010 for $50 million • IZZE sold to Pepsi in 2006 for ~$100 million 11 11
