Tic Tac is one of the largest breath mint market, which has been there in the industry for more than 50 years now. Their product line is far away the most sold in the world due to their bigger and multiple factories and employees worldwide. As stipulated in the article, in 1969, Tic Tac gave to their customers the catchy jingle which was a huge success. In the 1970s, they extended their product line by adding the cinnamon-flavored red mints and the tangerine-flavored orange mints. The Ferrero group introduced their new product with its iconic flip-top packaging. Tic Tac continued to offer more flavors to their customers, which in 1980 introduced the 1 and 1/2 Calorie Breath Mint followed by the spearmint and wintergreen. Last but not least, in the early 2000s, Tic Tac decided to increase the width of their product mix with even more flavors by creating Tic Tac Bold which came in mixed fruit flavors. Although, they have been dominant all through their existence, they recently have been overtaken by other breath mint competitors such as Everest, Cool Chews, Icefresh, Blitz, Ice Chips, Cool Blast, Ice Breakers and Altoids with their the "curiously strong" mints in the metal container from Callard & Bowser-Suchard (Charles W. Lamb, Joe F. Hair, Carl McDaniel, 2011). The Ferrero Group felt the need to overcome their competition by presenting something new to the market, which would attract new and more consumers. They reinvented themselves again with the introduction of new
Tootsie Roll’s simple strategy is to be (and remain) a top-quality producer and distributor of Tootsie Rolls and other candy products, in an industry where it currently has 2 to 3 percent of market share. Specifically, the company has determined to specialize, almost entirely, in hard candies (such as Tootsie Pops and Blow Pops) and chewy candies (such as Tootsie Roll, Frooties and Flavor Roll), and it currently maintains a 50 percent market share in this unique segment. The success of Tootsie Roll in the U.S. for the past 19 years is attributable to the strong consumer awareness of the company’s brand name and brand loyalty. Over time, Tootsie Roll has neither diluted the quality of its products nor failed to

These activities could be done differently, in that they could use traditional fast-food prep methods or even make the food behind walls in the kitchen. However, this would change the customer experience and somewhat diminish their brand. Customers wouldn't have the sense of comfort seeing the food being prepared openly, and maybe question their quality as being comparable to that of fast food (Taco Bell). They could also change their ordering process, where customers would order and pay in one step rather then move down a line. However, in this system customers would be less involved in the process, and may feel like they are waiting around for their food. I wouldn't recommend making any of these changes to Chipotle's main activities. Being able to see everything going on and the quick and efficient order fulfilling process is what makes Chipotle strategy the gold standard for fast food chains.

The demographic segmentation of the Roxy brand, is aimed to attract young women between the
"Sweeten the Kool-Aid boys," He said, spewing the Kool-Aid across the sidewalk. His face contorted as the sourness crept through his cheeks. This is one of the first marketing strategies for a small business I learned one summer while on vacation.You see, my friend and I decided we would open a Kool-Aid stand. Take the five-cent pack of Kool-Aid and become cold drink moguls. We would take the profit from the sale of our first batch, invest in more, and expand until we had stands on every street corner. We were the first stand of the summer, so profits should be a windfall. Or, so we thought. We soon realized it does not matter if you're the first in the game, if your competition has a better product than you do, then you might as well go home.
