Dear Mr R. Murray

As per your request I am submitting to you the attached report analysing XXXX Gold Beer in the Australian beer industry titled ‘XXXX Gold in the Australian Beer Industry’, due on the 3 October 2012.

The purpose of this report is to inform you of the company background, product attributes, promotional strategies including target market and marketing mix along with the pricing strategies for XXXX Gold Beer.

Our investigations suggest that XXXX Beer has good market share in the current Australian beer market. However, as outlined in the report falling consumption levels and an increasing number of local and international competitors could reduce this market share if action is not taken.

We have suggested adjustments that could be made to the marketing mix that could potentially help XXXX to compete with international and local competitors in turn resulting in a solid hold on the market share.

I once again thank you for this opportunity. If you have any further questions regarding the content of this report please feel free to contact me on (07) 46613523.

MMBC was rated as “Best Beer in West Virginia” for years and was selected as “America’s Championship Lager” at the American Beer Championship. MMBC relied on his history and status as independent, family-owned brewery to create an aura of authenticity and to position the beer with its core drinkers – blue-collar, middle-to-lower income men over age 45. Because of the product quality, positioning and brand equity, MMBC had gained a strong brand loyalty, which has made MMBC so successful. The unique quality of Mountain Man, the distinctively bitter flavor and slightly higher-than-average alcohol content, contributed to the company’s brand equity which made MMBC distinguish from the competitors.
