The energy beverage companies are targeting same group of people as Red Bull and it is hard to make significant increase in profit. To make more profit companies should target diverse types of consumers to differentiate your company from the other companies in the same branch. The heavy consumers of energy beverages are consist of males between 12 and 34 ages. In this market is high brand loyalty which means that average consumer is limiting his/her choice to only 1.4 different brands. The convenience stores and supermarkets are the dominant off-premise retail channels for energy beverages.
The company has built its brand as a “beer that is discovered” rather than using traditional beer marketing strategies. Creemore Springs must not alienate its existing customers with aggressive, off message marketing while growing its customer base and thus sales to justify the expense of the expansion Recommendations: Creemore Springs must expand. While a capital investment of this magnitude does constitute a risk for a comparatively small business, the risks that not expanding represent are greater. Thompson himself stated the case for growth when he identified the challenges faced with capping production, including stock-outs, being unable to supply existing customers who open another bar, and challenges reversing a cap without further brand damage. Creemore risks damaging existing customer relationships and being unable to fulfill demand from fully engaged partners if capacity is not increased.

Under the pressure coming from large national brewers, MMBC is considering to extend its product line: launch Mountain Man Light to attract a new market segment and remain profitable. Although launching light beer may attract a new market segment and get more exposure for MMBC, MML may “drown” in the sea of large light beer brands and even lose loyal customers from its core brand Lager. The main customers of MMBC are blue collar, middle-to-lower income men over age 45. MMBC is famous for its “toughness”, so the market they serve is traditional baby boomer generations. In general, United States was the largest beer-consuming market in the world with over $75 billion in annual sales in 2005.
There are more than 130 different species of agave. Blue agave is the most notable because of its role in Mexican society and economy. It creates an enormous amount of revenue in Mexico and all over the world. The world’s largest consumer of tequila is the United States topping the charts with over ten million cases imported last year alone.

Nonetheless, as evident by the recent management appointment, Hawaiian Punch is a product that has a high focus of interest from the company since it has a good growth potential given its recent performance of 7 percent annual sales increase over the last few years. Cadbury Schweppes had created about eleven different Hawaiian Punch flavors. Despite its efforts, the original “Fruit Juicy Red” remains the most popular by a significant margin. A recent consumer purchasing study shows a relatively poor customer awareness for the other ten flavors of the product. Hawaiian Punch currently has the unique position of having two distinct manufacturing, sales, and distribution processes.
They can do somehow a better job in making sound investments and control the marketing with their products. I see that there were some challenges from some years especially when PepsiCo and Coco-Cola were at a war to compete each other with their businesses. Coca-Cola and PepsiCo are a few years apart, but both of them are well known and have such popularity with people drinking their sodas. Coca-Cola has been trying to surpass PepsiCo in their annual sales; however, from review, PepsiCo somehow has the highest number in their annual sales than Coca-Cola. PepsiCo has shown the best current ratio and is able to pay off their debts, which Coca-Cola does not have that and is struggling to pay off their debts.
At the end of 2011, PepsiCo’s working capital was ($713) million, while Coca-Cola’s working capital was $1,214 million. This indicates that Coca-Cola had enough short-term assets to cover its short-term debt, while PepsiCo did not. PepsiCo is not working as efficiently as Coca-Cola is, causing slower collection. (c) What is the most significant difference in the asset structure of the two companies? What causes this difference?
In the 1960’s and 1970’s when many states had lowered the MLDA, besides the rise in drunk-driving deaths, studies showed that people raised from childhood in under-21 states were involved in higher rates of alcohol and drug use as adults, and had a higher rate of homicides and suicides. (Moses, 2011) This in turn convinced federal law makers to raise the MLDA again to 21. However, in order to encourage states to comply, the federal government would tighten their purse strings and states would receive little or no funding towards highways. So while there are those who do not necessarily care one way or the other about the actual age limit on alcohol consumption, they do prefer having the federal
