11
The Water Mystique
  • The original Coors can
  • Expanding nationally actually hurt Coors image.
  • Cross-brewing
  • Too much availability led to Coors commonness

12
AFL-CIO Boycott
  • Lasted from 1977 to 1987
  • Market share dropped in California from 40 to
    10.
  • AFL-CIO represents 13 million workers
  • Union representative reached out to minorities
    organizations, universities, stadiums, and
    entertainment parks.
  • Wanted to show that Adolph Coors is antilabor,
    and therefore antipeople
  • N.E.A and N.O.W joined the boycott with more than
    5 million people.

13
Unfounded accusations
  • Anti gay, anti minorities, anti woman employment
    practices
  • Not eco-friendly
  • Comments taken out of context viewed as racists
  • Coors family contribution to conservative
    political group

  • Miller Coors vs. Anheuser Busch
  • Create a stronger brand

Focus more on consumer needs
Wholesalers
Buyers

  • Freshness Policy
  • More accessible
  • On-premise
  • Off-premise

17
Focus Strategy

  • Focus on other segments of beer
  • Regionalize in terms of marketing and sales
    activities

  • Create more facilities

18
Coors Current strategy
  • Engaged in a 3-part strategy in 2004
  • (1) "Drive growth on Coors Light and Coors
    Original via a full line of support, including
    over 20 television spots, promotions, radio, out
    of home and print.
  • (2) "Support Keystone Light, Killian's, Zima,
    Blue Moon and Mexicali with local programming.
  • (3) "Respond aggressively to low-carb
    opportunities."
  • Merged with Molson in 2005
  • Merged with SABMiller in 2007

19
Coors Current strategy
  • Direct competitor to Anheuser-Busch after the
    merger with SABMiller.
  • Expansion in developing market, such as Asia and
    Africa
  • Goes up against the heavy marketing strategy of
    Anheuser-Busch, which spends twice the
    advertising expense of Coors, 2.5 billion and
    50.6 of the market share.
