The idea behind Roksolana

Jan 15th 2016

What are the first thoughts that lead to a brand design?

When it comes to develop a brand, the new paradigma demands we focus in our target client.
When the moment came to define a brand or representative image for Frutas FénixRoksolana, la primera marca de Frutas Fénix we decided not just only to take experience references and knowledge, but also the culture of our target markets, final destination of our brand.

How do you came with the idea of the name of a woman?

You must be aware of the new trend of an empowered woman. It is something that has been in the society, we came from an equal society, and not only that, we went further. We find ourselves reivindicating the relevance of the female figure.
Hence, we decided the idea should be representing us should be the name of a woman: Roksolana

But, why Roksolana?
After a deep research work, we decided we should be look for an idea recognizable by several markets.
We discarded vague ideas that quite often they dont trigger the client or they do not root in any of the client´s feelings.

"We consider essential to "link" with some of the feelings of the clients when our brand is seen at the market. Every reaction should be motivated by something. We wanted our brand to be that something.
We are perfectly aware the fruit does not look so diferent as product that can influence the customer to consume. People does not appreciate the diference. I think that is the main reason the fruit industry is trying to put all their efforts and trying to give meaning to their brands and catalogues, looking for a reason that triggers the buy.

Roksolana was a woman with a difficult story, but with a beatiful message. She had an intense life with quite a rough start.
Being a perseverant, constant and cheerful, she was able to change her fate until she became the wife of the sultan Soleiman and break a few traditions on the way, such as being the only wife and mother of more than one heir.

She had a strong political influence, she made bold decisions and today her role is acknowledged, and her figure is revered in Poland, Ukraine and mainly Turkey.

" " One of the few things that we loved about Roksolana was her cheerful way to live and her attitude, she even had her nickname "Hürrem" (the cheerful).

The point of this meetings is to determine in a more accurate way, how can we able to stablish optimization processes over our operations, and, of course, to look for more oportunities in order to make business.

Another big plus about being in this kind of events is to be able to be in touch with the regional administration (Picture). It is hard for representing companies, even if we are always working with valencian product, to share our concerns and worries right to the administration. We have to say their role is so important, and we have been really comfortable with them, providing us (all of the valencian attending companies) a team feeling and a very important thing: Networking

The attending companies came to this event under Conselleria de Agricultura, Desarrollo Rural,Emergencia Climática y Transición Ecológica, that allows us, as i said before, this internal networking in order to look for oportunities to sell valencian product.

Coming regularly to this kind of events allows us to have a general vision about the global trends of the market, considering we work with a product that depends on so many factors such as meteorological, health related, even geopolitical.

This kind of working method allows us to predict any possible inconveniency and then have a little margin to change strategies, selecting more fittable markets or researching about new trend products as those we present you in our catalogue.
