Price
The
pricing for a 750ml bottle of Feisty Pink Vodka would be $19.99. I would like to distribute
at a in between price, but still a great taste, with a happy feeling. “There are still
some things that today’s consumers just aren’t willing to give up—such as
chocolate. But as with eating out and clothing purchases, they are trading
down. That is just fine with Hershey, America’s best-known chocolate maker. For
years, riding the good times, premium chocolates have grown faster than
lower-priced confectionery products. Slow to jump on the premium bandwagon,
Hershey lost market share to Mars Inc.’ s Dove line. But as consumers pinch
pennies, sales of premium chocolate brands have gone flat. At the same time,
Hershey’s sales, profits, and stock price increases as many consumers have
passed up the higher-end goods in favor of Hershey’s chocolate bars, Reese’s
Peanut Butter Cups, and Kit Kat wafers. Hershey is responding with tactics such
as running new ads that stress the value. It is also cutting costs by paring
back the varieties of products like Hershey’s Kisses. As supermarkets trim back
the shelf space they allot to premium chocolates, Hershey stands poised to cash
in as consumers look to affordable Hershey favorites to satisfy their cravings.
After all, even on a tight budget, people need to indulge at least a little.” Marketing: An Introduction for
Education Management Corporation P. 35 “Offering “the same for less” can be
a powerful value proposition—everyone likes a good deal. Discount stores such
as Wal-Mart and “category killers” such as Best Buy, Sportmart David’s Bridal,
and DSW Shoes use this positioning. They don’t claim to offer different or
better products. Instead, they offer many of the same brands as department
stores and specialty stores but at deep discounts based on superior purchasing
power and lower-cost operations. Other companies develop imitative but
lower-priced brands in an effort to lure customers away from the market leader.
For example, AMD makes less-expensive versions of Intel’s market-leading
microprocessor chips”.
