Who Is Jay Minkoff's First Flavor?

Howard Moskowitz, a food industry consultant, detailed how to increase the flavor appeal of Dr. Pepper by its consumers, with large amounts sugar. In Prego spaghetti sauce, after tomatoes, sugar was made the next greatest ingredient in amount. The classic Lay’s potato chip brand included many different flavors such as chips with salt & vinegar, salt & pepper, cheddar, and sour cream flavoring. Mr. Moss goes on to describe how Frito-Lay executives hope to develop “designer sodium,” which may decrease the sodium content of their products by a considerable

Some are fine connoisseurs of wine, or aficionados of cheese, and there are degrees for exploring their intricacies. But a childhood of ice cream has led to my refined palate of Ben and Jerry’s flavors. It began when I hated taking pictures. The only way the grumpy four-year old girl would smile was if she knew she was getting ice cream afterwards; the thought of my favorite treat always convinced me to smile.

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

Most buyers do not share the same palate, purchase the same quantities, or respond in the same manner to marketing efforts. Therefore, a concentrated Niche Marketing approach will work best to target our selected segment. Instead of pursuing a smaller share of a large market, Exotic Fruit Bars will target a large share of one focused niche. Through niche marketing, Exotic Fruit Bars can achieve strong market positioning by gathering thorough and detailed knowledge of the consumer needs in the niches it serves, and by acquiring a distinct reputation to differentiate Exotic Fruit Bars from it’s competitors.

First, the strengths are that the overall design, “the creation of the smoothie and juice names, and distribution, was done with multiple stores as the goal.” (Pg. 2) This business model differentiates them from the competition because instead of offering the same flavors, juice names, design, and distribution to all of the locations it is determined by a section of stores rather than the entire market. This tactic allows their business model to be targeted for a specific demographic depending on the external environment.

Cracker Jack is one of the most recognized consumer food brands in the United States. The brand possesses virtually universal awareness, holding steady at 97 percent among persons between the ages of 15 and 60. It also has an enviable 95 percent brand name awareness among heavy users of caramel popcorn. In spite of this gold mine, it is still regarded as traditional, stale, old fashioned, a product from a bygone era and less hip and less contemporary than its major rival, Crunch ‘n Munch. To add to this dilemma, the product diversification strategy that led to the development of several other versions such as Cracker Jack Fat Free, Butter Toffee, and Nutty Deluxe, in the hopes of

I prepared an analysis of several marketing strategies that can be used by executives at A.1. Steak Sauce. This case analysis will provide a summary of A.1.

In the world of science there have been ground breaking discoveries on the reproductive system of humans, animal, plants, and now candy. The test subject for such a project has been the iconic candy of the western region, Junior Mints. Western and eastern scientist have been amazed by the complex mating system of Junior Mints, and now they bring their discoveries to the public.

Skittles is a well-known, long-standing brand that has pleased consumers for generations. However, it is our contention that the name’s growth is stagnating, and needs to be revitalized based upon a core marketing goal: bring Skittles from simply a candy – something one consumes on a whim and forgets about – to a brand that engenders both value and feeling for consumers. With such a focus, the objective is to influence the seemingly minor consumer choice between confections in vending machines and on store shelves by linking a positive and pleasing emotion to the image of the brand. The intention is to achieve realistic, long-term financial goals, which will be controlled through measuring actual results against initial projections. The

The following marketing plan forms the basis for the introduction of an innovative new product by Snyder’s-Lance Inc. This analysis allows me to outline the best strategies to follow for the achievement of the company’s strategic goals. “Pretzel Abobodas” will be marketed as a unique flavored pretzel that targets the Hispanic consumer, while striving to reinforce the company’s focus on wanting to penetrate the Hispanic market. The marketing strategies will hopefully enable our company to

The following statistics stated in the case indicate that “23% of respondents would definitely buy the Montreaux dark chocolate with fruit product and 40% would probably buy the product.” These average ratings strongly suggest that this product should be introduced into the market very gradually. This strategy would enable the company to evaluate consumer buying patterns so that the company could determine future production levels and future marketing strategies that benefit both the company and the consumer. Financial information given in the case also indicates that the company needs to introduce this product very conservatively. Exhibit 1 informs that with 5.98 million total purchases, low awareness, low ACV and mediocre product, Montreaux would gross $17.44 million. Exhibit 2 shows that with medium awareness, medium ACV and an average product Montreaux would gross $25.1 million. These figures do not meet Montreaux’s objective of earning at least $30 million in its first year. Exhibit 3 shows a slightly improved situation: with high awareness, high ACV, and an excellent product, Montreaux would gross

Marketing executives at Cadbury Beverages, Inc. want to re-launch the following brands: Crush, Hires, and Sun-Drop soft drinks. However, Cadbury has seen several challenges arise in the eve of their next attempt to lead the market. Senior marketing executives decided to focus generally on the Crush brand of fruit flavored carbonated beverages. The key issues that were foreseen by Cadbury executives were the rejuvenation of the bottling network, figuring out brand equity, and develop new positioning. Lastly, there are numerous opportunities available for Crush to take advantage of that which
