    The sales for Lite were impressive but it found that majority of its consumers were moderate drinking, 25-44 year old, upscale professionals. However, Lite was successful because its value proposition of the beer being ‘light’ appealed to this older, upscale demographic than their intended target because they interpreted the message as an opportunity to drink without getting slowed down mentally or physically. Also, their choice of media, i.e., advertising during sports shows, reached this segment equally well.…

    The early years of the company were very demanding, but Adolphus Busch had the determination to make his company succeed. Anheuser-Busch got its first great taste of success in 1876 when the world’s most popular beer and America’s first national beer brand Budweiser was introduced. Ever since Anheuser-Busch was formed, the American people have always been drawn to it. This can be contributed to the fact that Anheuser-Busch represents the American people, they are known for being very hard working, having a lot of determination, and most importantly being family oriented. Ever since the start of the company in 1864, a family member has overseen the company. Since its founding more than 150 years ago, Anheuser-Busch has been a leader in the beer industry. With nearly 50 percent of the U.S. domestic market share, and with more than 40 brands and 12 breweries strategically located throughout the United States, Anheuser-Busch has the resources in place to enhance beer industry volume, while continuing to meet the changing needs of today’s consumers.…

    Heineken uses an international strategy that involves using cross-border deals to increase their distribution of over 250 beer brands in over 175 countries. The company has also acquired many different small brewers all over the world to add to their portfolio and increase access to new markets. Due to this strategy, Heineken currently operates over 125 breweries in over 70 countries and holds 10% of the global beer market. The company’s main entry mode into foreign markets involves foreign direct investment through acquisitions that give Heineken a great degree of ownership and control. They gain control of the whole brewery, so they expand by way of wholly owned subsidiaries. Heineken’s international acquisition strategy allows the company to increase market share and presence in their industry across the world, and do not have to worry about the added costs associated with creating new brands. It is difficult to pinpoint exactly what strategy for globalization Heineken has used, since they acquire these brands with already developed and successful products and allow them to stay as their own brands. I would describe Heineken’s strategy to be most similar to a transnational strategy. A transnational strategy is based on firms optimizing the trade-offs that go along with efficiency, local adaptation, and learning, where the pressures for local adaptation and lowering costs are high. A company using this strategy, seeks efficiency but as a means to achieve global competitiveness, as does Heineken.…

    Changes in beer drinkers’ preferences were a mean reason of declining sales. Light beer sales were growing at an annual rate of 4% per year, while traditional premium beer sales have declined annually by the same percentage. The light beers had already risen to 50.4% of total beer sales. The demand for import and craft beer was increasing. Heavy discounting on beer had caused larger beer producers to put pressure on smaller ones. Younger drinkers who were not main Mountain Man customers represented only 27% beer sales.…

    Primarily, Budweiser’s objective within this region is to create awareness. Furthermore, Budweiser’s mission is to pursue a long-term growth strategy by pursuing high consumption markets and attaining a firm market share among competitors. Budweiser has a strong brand name domestically, but for this particular region it will need to implement a penetration strategy.

    The trend towards premium beer consumption has slowed somewhat in the recent economic downturn. However, down-trading is limited and there are notable instances of consumers continuing to trade up, both into beer and, within the category, into premium products. The beer industry has also seen a trend towards consumers trading up to attractive, local, premium and more expensive beers. Since 1997 Corona has become the number one imported beer in the US, substituting Heineken who had held the number one spot in the beer industry since 1933. (Thompson, Strickland, & Gamble, 2010)…

    Brand and Heineken

    • 974 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The Heineken Brewery was founded in Amsterdam in 1863 by Gerard Adriaan Heineken. The strain of yeast which continued through the 1990s to give Heineken beer its special taste was developed in 1886. Heineken beer won a gold medal at the 1889 Paris World’s Fair, and, by 1893, was one of the largest selling beers in the Netherlands. In 1937, Heineken granted its first license to a foreign brewer to produce Heineken beer according to the original formula. While licensing agreements also aimed to specify how the Heineken brand should be marketed, Heineken could not influence how a licensee marketed its own brands. At the end of 1993, Heineken, being the market leader in Netherlands, was viewed as a mainstream brand. Outside the Netherlands, however, Heineken had consistently been marketed as a premium brand. Sales volume was declining and the brand image needed some revitalization. In January 1994, senior managers at Heineken headquarters in Amsterdam were reviewing two research projects --- Project Comet and Project Mosa --- commissioned to clarify Heineken’s brand identity and the implications for television advertising. Heineken’s senior managers were interested in assessing whether or not the conclusions of the two studies were mutually consistent. They also wished to determine how far they should or could standardize Heineken’s brand image and advertising worldwide.…
