However, they were concerned about future growth because of changing diets of many consumers who had become more concerned about consuming milk-based products. The company had already added low-fat versions of the major products but the board members were concerned that this would not be sufficient to sustain their growth and profits. Some possibilities that were suggested for consideration included (1) setting up a new company to produce non-dairy-based products such as almond milk and other alternatives to cow milk. All the new products would have a healthy “spin” such as the White Wave company; (2) market expansion of their existing product lines into Mexico and Central America; (3) expanding their current product offerings by adding ice cream, high-end cheeses made from goat and sheep milk, and high-end milk-based candy; and (4) a combination of one or more of these alternatives. 1.

true/false 1. The add for the winter Olympics in Beijing 2022 by the company Lululemon was "Team Canada x Lululemon Collection represents the courage, strength, and collaboration required to compete at the highest levels". This add is consistent with persuasive and complementary advertising but not informative advertising. 2. Hastings, Hortacsu and Syverson in 2013 present evidence on how informative advertising shapes competition in a case study of Mexican privatized pension funds. 3. The case study of Heinz ketchup, cited in the textbook, was that of an add that emphasized the "thickness" of its ketchup. It was found empirically to have decreased the price elasticity demand of the product. This advertising effect is consistent with persuasive advertising and not informative advertising.
