Abstract

The purpose of this research was to establish the most appropriate growth strategies for a SME in the juice industry. To do this, a quantitative-descriptive study was carried out. The subjects of the study were the clients and potential clients of the juice store and a sample of 325 people answered the questionnaire. The conclusions reached were that the attribute most appreciated by the customers of a juice store is quality inputs, followed by the quality of service and varied products. Customers are interested in new products such as medicinal juices and green juices. Likewise, new segments of customers who suffer from diseases or want to prevent them and show interest in consuming more specialized juices were found. Likewise, an opportunity for growth was found through product innovation, a new sales channel and offering new lines to new customer segments. A proposal for growth strategies was prepared.
