The Un Amor Decision
I have considered the whole situation your company are in and have prepared a recommendation for you based on the information of the market. There are three options in this situation. First of all, you keep distributing only beers brewed by Anheuser-Busch Inbev. Second, you transfer your core item from the A-B InBev beers to Un Amor tequila. Lastly, you distribute beers and tequila simultaneously.
The first option is rather risky. As you see, the declining of the beer market is not only by the economic downturn, but also by change of consumer tastes. So, whatever means you introduce to your company, it might be hard to rebound this trend.
The second option may sound good because the relationship between you and A-B Company is changing gradually. Also, Missourians and some of Missourian companies are becoming hostile to A-B InBev. However, it cannot be a good solution. That’s because you can lose a stable background for your company. The competition in the tequila market has not finished yet. If you change your main item from beer to tequila or other liquor, it is possible for your company to face difficulties in the near future.
So, my recommendation is to deal with both items-beer and tequila. By this method, you can expand your item portfolio and target markets. You can distribute beers to the low-price market and tequila to the middle or high price market. You can promote each market with the other item. For example, if the customers buy expensive tequila, you can give some beers to the customers as a promotion. Also, you can advertise that your company can handle diverse items in various markets. You will have a chance to expand your customer range. By this way, you can hedge risk and boost the

    The high quality and uniqueness of the ingredients already exist, however customers are buying the beer based off the lower costs. If Coors wants to use differentiation and the same ingredients, they must create a high level of cost parity to ensure high revenues and reduce all costs not directly related to differentiation, such as in severely reducing the number of packaging lines (320). It would be best if Coors condensed their advertising costs and instead focused on producing creative and innovative ads in place of a high quantity. The connections with wholesalers and important customers should be strengthened through public relations and used to promote a luxurious perception of Coors beer. Furthermore, the plans for buying the production plant in Virginia would still be valid, along with the plans for railway and road…

    3) PROBLEM: The company markets its product in Vermont, New York and New Jersey areas. However this isn’t very successful as the export sales is only 1% of the total sales. Peter’s goal is to increase this number to 10% in the future.

    In recent years, all brewers have had to contend with a stagnant beer market and per-capita consumption that is on the decline. The reasoning behind this ongoing trend are attributed to underlying factors such as the low carbohydrate diet rave that has taken off in recent years, the unstable economy, and an increase in market share of wines and spirits.…

    The Boston Beer Company

    • 4185 Words
    • 17 Pages

    Overview The Boston Beer Company has had amazing success in its transition from a small scale microbrewer to a large scale national brewery. Almost all of the company’s success is due to the Samuel Adams Lager product line, which has hardly changed from the founding of the company in 1984, to the IPO in 1995, to the present day. In fact, much of the appeal of Samuel Adams comes from its microbrew image and the founder, Jim Koch’s, commitment to the brewing process and a premium beer. In recent years, however, the company has implemented a new strategy for growth which has included introducing a light beer that will have more mainstream appeal. While this has increased profits for the company, it has also left the company vulnerable to entry by diluting its brand name. For this reason, the company’s strategy for the immediate future has to make a significant shift, from a strategy of growth to a strategy of protection. It must focus on maintaining its current profits by preventing entry both from small breweries looking to copy the BBC’s strategy and from large breweries looking to use their expansive resources to steal some of BBC’s market share.…

    The Boston Beer Company, Inc., founded in 1984, is a leading brewer in United States, offering wide variety of high quality full-flavored, handcraftedbeers. It is distinctive due to the time-honored recipe of brewing and authentic, consistent quality of alcoholic beverages. Samuel Adams Boston Lager is the pride of BBC, regular handcrafted beer “stands for quality, inner self-worth, authenticity, and unique New England or Yankee toughness” ( Martin Roper, Chief Operating Officer). Unfortunately, the company experienced the failure of conquering light beer segment in 1998 as the beer market is a highly competitive industry, which requires not only the great product but also high brand awareness. Right now there is an attractive opportunity for BBC to enter the field of light beer once again. Should Boston Beer Company capture this chance or let it slip?…

    Mountain Man Brewery

    Mountain Man Lagers main customer is an older generation, blue-collar worker, which make up a larger percentage of the sales. In 2005 sales have dropped 2% relative to the prior fiscal year. The cause is from a stiffening competition, a market that is maturing and new products. All of these factors are stealing the customers from the Mountain Man Brewing Company (MMBC). The light beer market is starting to attract younger consumers and along with the female beer drinker. Chris Prangel, with some skepticism, thinks the light beer market is the answer to not losing anymore of the market share that MMBC has now, but he is worried because of his recent survey that his light beer will not sell. His existing customers like the old-time Mountain Man lager and wouldn’t prefer the move into a light beer market. Will this cannibalize the existing lager market share?…

    Corona Beer

    Corona Extra was introduced in the United States in 1979, and became the fastest growing imported beer in U.S history. Corona Extra has been brewed and bottled in Mexico by Grupo Modelo (Mexico’s largest brewer) since 1926. It operates seven state-of-the-art breweries throughout Mexico and currently exporting Corona to more than 1500 countries worldwide (Corona , 2010). The brewer has a 51 percent market share and exports to 56 countries. Beer has increased its share of total alcohol consumption every year but in 2008 the trend of Corona slowed down. In emerging markets beer has shown higher growth than other alcohol categories as consumers switch local to commercially produced beer. Beer drinking is on the rise and the market of beer drinkers has changed from being predominantly a male product to females now drinking socially too. Over the past five years, the beer category has maintained a compound annual growth rate of 4.8% globally (www.sabmiller.com,2010). 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. With Corona expanding their company internationally into the United States and Canada, Grupo Modelo has already responded to the potential threats that may come because of the unpredictable Mexican economic system and their political environments.…

    The alcoholic beverage industry faces political challenges. Specifically, in international markets, we should consider like civil conflict, governmental changes and restrictions concerning the ability to relocate capital. The hot political debate in 2010 revolved around the privatization of alcoholic beverage sales. Every state has a department that sets and enforces the regulations concerning the sale of wine, beer and spirits. Companies, who fail to meet the standards of law, are fined by the local government. Furthermore, we should be able to penetrate emerging and developing markets, that also relies on economic and political conditions, and also their ability to form effectively strategic business alliances with local…
