As mentioned above we will have to incorporate Canadian traditional and comfort foods in to our menu. We will have to conduct market testing in order to determine which American comfort foods the new Canadian market will purchase and which should be eliminated from our Canadian menu. We are at an advantage already; it has been reported that 88 percent of Canadians have recently eaten seafood. Fish and seafood is also one of the largest food sectors that are exported by Canada. We will be able to use the abundance of that food to our financial advantage. We will be able to see slightly lower raw products cost, since seafood is known to fluctuate wildly throughout the year, as well as being reassured that Canadians will want to eat the food that we are selling in our restaurant. The fact that one of canada’s most valued exports includes: lobster, snow queen crab, farmed Atlantic salmon and shrimp, is a happy bonus to our bottom line. We should be able to buy directly from local fisheries. That will not only give us a more positive image with our new Canadian market, but we will be able to advertise that we use fresh locally sourced

With Canada’s demographic constantly increasing, significant changes are bound to occur within the economy. In particular, marketers will need to comprehend the changing Canadian identity, resulting in the need for the economy to adapt to the new reality of Canada. Thus, there is a need for marketers to change their marketing methods, when approaching the cultural differences. “Children are learning about different cultures at a young age, and as marketers we need to pick up on that because they are our future customers. We need to recognize that the definition of who is Canadian—or what it means to be Canadian—is changing.” (Daniels 13 Dec. 2014) Thus, understanding the
New England Seafood Company is a leader in the northeastern United States in harvesting and processing seafood. The company’s senior executives believe that there must be a change in the corporate strategy to maintain their competitive advantage, as foreign producers are affecting their current yields.

Management feels that a move into the freshwater fish sector will provide the company with a new directive and future stability.

There are (3) reasons why I have chosen energy drinks as my NAB. First off, there is a growing market for energy drinks. Red Bull and Monster Beverage Corporation, together, form over 80% of domestic energy drinks volumes by estimates. Dollar sales for energy drinks grew almost 6% to $6.67 Billion in measured channels in 2013, which propelled sales growth for convenience stores (Team, 2014). A growing thirst for caffeinated “energy” drinks, which include the likes of Red Bull, Monster, and Rock star, has spurred a heart-thumping surge in sales. Globally, the energy drink industry has gone from a $3.8-billion business in 1999, to a $27.5-billion
A few weeks ago I wanted ice cream but I didn't want to go to the store and buy an entire tub of ice cream I just wanted something like a banana split. The only problem is that belvidere has no ice cream places except Dairy Ripple and they close in the winter,so a thought occurred to me Belvidere needs a Dairy Queen. See Dairy Queen is something that lots of people like so this would make many people happy,and let’s be honest we all have one point in the winter when we want ice cream. Dairy queen has lots of food options,they are very popular and very clean, and they have good prices.
McDonalds is a company that has time after time proven to be successful in marketing. McDonald’s starts with countries that are similar to the USA in lifestyle (Moutinho & Chien, 2008).
