Promotional Plan

Executive Summary

Naturally brewed with no added preservatives in Golden, Colorado, the heart of the Rockies, Coors Light is the eighth leading beer brand in the world. As Molson Coors’ largest brand, the new parent company after the 2005 merger, Coors Light has established itself as the biggest selling brand in both the US and Canada.

The merger, however, left the company heavily indebted and with limited capital suffered a loss of partnering and sponsorship for major sporting events. Coors Light has worked extremely hard to maintain the positioning as ‘The Worlds Most Refreshing Beer” withstanding the susceptibility the brand faces with only a single brewing site and third party distributors.

This promotion plan includes the following objectives for the upcoming year: * To attract non-users and create brand awareness among 90% of females aged 21-30 seeking a refreshing tasting light beer, * To retain the 18-24 year old male target currently held by Coors Light. * To engage the mobile community through the use of Mobile Insider, connecting the brand to consumers.

The objectives should be met through various promotional activities tied closely to the company’s long-standing brand image, and mobile promotions to increase accuracy in reaching target markets.

Over the next 12 months it is recommended that Coors Light continue to use the Maxim Golf Experience to maintain the current target market. The brand will increase awareness among the female target by promoting the Coors Château getaway at bars across Canada, awarding 100 women a relaxing weekend getaway. This will tie in to the Cooking with Coors social media contest through the companies Facebook Fan page. Cooking with Coors will ask consumers to upload videos of themselves cooking with Coors Light, and vote on their favorites. The recipe with the most votes will allow the winner access to their choice of Coors

    First and foremost, it is strongly needed to do additional market research before MMB starts with new product marketing plan. Several issues should be considered: do the younger drinkers (the target market of the Light beer) establish a brand loyalty as they get more experience with drinking? Is it a brand loyalty or just a product loyalty? Would these drinkers evolve into the Lager beer drinkers? Also, more information on different demographic in general accounts. If MMB could find overlapping ground (like time spent with different media, favorite sports, etc.) by comparing the similarities and differences between the groups, it could better plan a campaign that appeals to a wider demographic. Suppose one group tend to read magazine and another group tend to use the Internet, but both groups watch a lot of sports TV programs, then MMB would know where to put more advertising money. Additionally, it is worthwhile to test what the responses were to this idea (launching the Mountain Man Light Beer) in the actual consumer market. Although this would be a little expensive, it would pay off in the long run.…

    In 1985 the Coors Brewing Company experienced such changes from a lack of a specific industry analysis and strategy for the future that simultaneously would have allowed for flexibility. The lowered stock price and their financial information show operational issues are happening; the numbers don’t lie and investors will continue to react negatively to Coors unless their problems are mitigated. To develop a competitive advantage, a company must have superior resources and capabilities…

    A recent study determined that there are four very different psychographic categories of craft beer drinkers: Novice, Enthusiast, Explorers, and Loyalists (Lane, 2013). Enthusiasts strive to educate themselves about everything craft beer, Explorer are interested in trying as many styles and flavors as possible, Loyalist prefer a certain style or brand, and Novices are just beginning to get into craft beer (Lane, 2013). The Enthusiasts and the Explorers are highly marketed, while the Loyalist and the Novice tend to be minimalized. For this reason, Harlequin and Brine will target Loyalist and Novice craft beer…

    Vincor is a well established wine and wine-related producer based out of Mississauga Ontario. Vincor wants to use their current success and venture into the refreshment market by introducing a new line of coolers. In order to do this Vincor will have to decide what type of cooler to produce as well as the design, packaging, price and marketing strategy. Market research was conducted to determine who the consumers in the alcoholic refreshment industry were, what their interests were and what the current trends were. Vincor determined that 56% of Canadians 19 and older claimed to drink one or more of the different types of refreshment beverages. Of these, 57% of refreshment drinkers were determined to be female while 43% were men. Vodka or spirit coolers were found to be the most popular cooler choice, followed by wine coolers, hard lemonades and then ciders. There are currently several well established competitors in the market. Smirnoff Ice is the current market leader with their premium vodka cooler, Bacardi Breezer’s rum based cooler is a close second and Mike’s Hard Lemonade is also popular with both females and males. There are 5 different options available to introduce into the market. The options to produce are as follows: 1. Real Fruit Juice Cooler 2. Gin Cooler 3. Spring Water Cooler 4. Tequila Cooler 5. Energy Cooler Based on the information available we have determined that alternative 1, produce a real fruit juice cooler, would be the best option for Vincor. Research showed that fruit juice coolers were preferred most among the 19-22 year olds. It was also determined to be favoured among men and Quebecers. Qualitative research revealed that non-carbonation was a strong selling point, while natural sweetness resonated best of all. As a contingency plan, if alternative 1 fails, Vincor should consider offering the tequila or gin based cooler as these also had…
