Monavie alienated potential customers by pricing

Monavie acai juice has earned itself quite a negative reputation in the circles in which it is sold. It is perhaps the case that this bad reputation is mostly warranted.

The first thing to note about Monavie acai juice is that it contains no ‘real’ acai at all; the only acai present in the drink is of the powdered variety. If this seems like a bit of a cheat to you then don’t worry: you are in good company. Customers all over the world are voting with their wallets and buying one of Monavie’s many superior competitors.

Monavie have entered a patent application for the freeze-dried acai powder it uses in its drink. The patent has not yet been granted, with the authorities citing a lack of novelty, inventiveness and industrial applicability in the process as the reasons behind the failure.

The price of Monavie is a worry to its customers, too. If one takes the recommended dosage of Monavie then it will cost between $3 and $6 per day, depending on which product you buy. This might not seem a lot, but it all adds up and, in fact it is roughly twice that of Amazon Thunder, its nearest acai juice rival.
