Mountain Man Brewing Company Case Study
Dear Chris Prangel,

Regarding whether Mountain Man Brewing Company should introduce Mountain Man Light beer to their product line I think it should. Mountain Man has customers who are loyal to it their original product, and I don’t think the addition of a new product would affect this loyalty if introduced in the right way.

Marketing Mountain Man Light will be where MMBC could preserve the brand name of Mountain Man Lager. Separating the two beverages consistently in the ad campaign in ways such as:

* Remind customers of the Original Mountain Man Lager in all Mountain Man Light ads. * Make no changes to the Mountain Man Lager ads, in order to keep from worrying customers that the recipe has been changed. * Market the new

    Although the launch of a new product is always going to be a risk, banking on the withering demand for a single offering is surely not going to alter the fortunes of the Mountain Man Beer Company. More importantly, light beer is the largest sales opportunity and it is what the market demands, therefore, to introduce the Mountain Man Light can be a gateway necessary for MMB to attract new customers and expand its market. Here are a series of recommendations offering to the company in order to help it successfully launch the Light beer.…

    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…

    In order for the launch of Mountain Man Light to be successful, several factors would have to align to obtain the goal of MMBC obtaining significant initial market share and subsequent years’ growth in the light-beer market. First, the new campaign targeting the light beer consumers, which consists largely of younger drinkers, would not erode the company’s brand equity by alienating its core customer base, consisting of the “swing” and baby boomer generations. (Abelli, 2007) Second, MMBC would have to minimize the light beer’s cannibalization of its lager. MMBC’s sales staff would have to convince off-premise retailers to grant MMBC “incremental shelf space” instead of substituting cases of light product for the lager product. MMBC would also have to be certain that the light’s sales would compensate for any potential cannibalization of lager’s sales. Third, Chris would need to convince the senior management team that light’s sales would generate a profit in two years after…
