1. Go to two local grocery stores (not online) and take a picture of the product in the store. Then, compare and contrast that product's pricing, advertising, and branding. - The first picture is the HyVee Navel oranges at $1.58 a pound and the second picture is the Walmart Navel orange at 98 cents each. Usually, two oranges equal one pound. Therefore, at HyVee, you could get two oranges for $1.68 or two oranges for $1.96 at Walmart. The branding was different with Walmart selling oranges individually and HyVee selling by the pound. Walmart advertises the Navel oranges cheaper then HyVee because if someone glance at the oranges for 98 cents and looks at the other oranges for $1.68 a pound, people would assume Walmart is cheaper because of not paying close to detail for the pounds versus the quantity. HyVee also brands that their product is on sale, as they show the consumer is saving 29 cents.In conclusion, if someone wanted more for their money, HyVee is the least expensive. 2. Go to the online website for one of the grocery stores. How does the online website compare/contrast to that product's pricing, advertising, and branding? Provide a screenshot of the product on the website. - At Walmart, a single orange is still the price of 98 cents but they now offer more selection as bulk. You could buy a four pound bag for $4.98 at the price of $1.25 a pound or an eight pound bag for 8.96 at $1.12 a pound. Walmart did not advertise the bag at the price per pound in the store, but they do online. The price also decreases with the more pounds of Navel oranges you purchase. In the Walmart store they also did not brand their product as fresh, while online it states “Fresh navel Oranges”. Overall, Walmart advertised and compared prices for just one orange, but contrasted online when bags were showing prices by the pound. 3. Using the USDA values for the breakdown of the food-marketing bill (see below) and the price from one of the grocery stores, approximate how much each segment will
receive. I will be comparing HyVee’s $1.68 a pound to the Industry Group Dollar: Industry Group: Price/lbs. Industry Group: Price/lbs. Farm Production: 13.3¢ Food Services: 57.3¢ Food Processing: 24.2¢ Energy: 6.4¢ Packaging: 4.5¢ Finance & Insurance 5.4¢ Transportation: 5.8¢ Advertising: 5.7¢ Wholesale Trade: 17.9¢ Other (Agribusiness & Legal and Accounting): 6.5¢ Retail Trade: 20.8¢
