The answer is: reposition her product to expand its market

Explanation:

Roxanne's adult milk beverage was positioned as a survival food, so the market considered it a very specific product (niche product) for survivalists. That market was probably very profitable in 1999 when an important group of people thought the end of the world was near, but that has changed now.

In order for Roxanne's milk beverage to be successful again she must reposition it as a healthy beverage good for every adult. She is trying to expand her market to regular adults.
