The CSD (carbonated soft drink) industry is dominated by two major players, Coca-Cola and Pepsi, which have high brand identity and reputation. The industry has high barriers to entry due to large capital requirements and faces strong competition between the major brands. Threats of substitution are moderate as customers have many beverage options but low inclination to switch brands. Supplier power is weak due to many ingredient providers, while some large buyers have bargaining power over the brands. The bottling industry serving CSD brands also has high concentration among a few players and high costs of entry.
Natural Light has built its brand on affordability compared to competitors. Research found 80% were familiar with the brand but 67% described it negatively, mainly due to poor flavor. Opportunities include social media advertising to broaden the audience and potentially improve flavor, though this may be challenging given Natural Light's position in the low-cost market. The document provides an analysis of Natural Light's brand and competition within the alcoholic beverage industry.

The Porter 5 Forces model summarizes the beer manufacturing industry as having:
1) Low threats of new entrants due to high capital costs required and government regulations.
2) High bargaining power of buyers as disposable income affects preferences for premium vs. lower priced brands.
3) Low threat of substitutes due to customer loyalty, though advertising restrictions make loyalty harder to achieve.
4) Low bargaining power of suppliers as products are inexpensive and numerous alternatives exist.
5) High intensity of rivalry among competitors despite Kingfisher being a large supplier.
The soft drink concentrate business is highly profitable due to low costs of production and barriers to entry. Concentrate producers require only $25-50 million for a plant that can serve the entire US market. They face little threat from new entrants due to patented formulas and brand equity built over decades of marketing. In contrast, bottlers face higher costs, more competition, and lower profits of around 35% due to factors like needing large capital investments for plants. However, Coke and Pepsi have been able to sustain profits through brand loyalty, expanding into new markets like juices, and leveraging their brand equity globally despite slowing carbonated drink demand.

Key differences outlined are that alcohol allows on-premises consumption and manufacturer sampling, while cannabis has limited opportunities for trial and no sampling due to restrictions. It also notes cannabis faces more stringent regulations regarding advertising, packaging, and vertical integration compared to alcohol.
The document discusses three key barriers to cannabis beverage growth and the progress being made to overcome them. The barriers are: 1) Science/product development challenges; 2) Lack of infrastructure for scaled manufacturing and distribution; and 3) Limited points of presence for sales. Regarding the first barrier, the document states that science issues have "mostly been solved" through developments in effects, taste, dosing, and product stability. For the second barrier, it notes infrastructure is now available through low-cost production services and beverage-focused distribution. And it maintains increasing points of presence, like home delivery and lounges, remains contingent on regulations.
This document provides advice on starting a cannabis beverage brand, including educating yourself on regulations, identifying opportunities in the market, getting to know your target audience through testing, focusing on multiple revenue channels while staying nimble, partnering with investors and other strategic partners, maintaining a long-term outlook, and remaining resilient through setbacks. It also includes statistics on cannabis arrests by race, the growing number of dispensaries compared to liquor stores, and per capita alcohol consumption by US state.
If you own a dispensary then we know that you are always looking out for great new products not only for your loyal consumers but to increase your footfall in the dispensary as well.
Creating a successful cannabis beverage entails transforming the raw plant material into a liquid. But this is only one of the many transformations necessary to run a successful cannabis beverage company.
This document discusses strategies for marketing cannabis products. It focuses on targeting audiences interested in the wellness benefits of cannabis rather than just getting intoxicated. The document also emphasizes understanding audience metrics like demographics and tracking engagement on different media platforms to improve outreach. It concludes by thanking sponsors and partners for their support.
Warren Bobrow discusses combining cannabis and craft spirits to create tasty cocktails. As the founder and "Cocktail Whisperer" of a cannabis business, he notes that most cannabis beverages lack flavor balance and are too sweet due to poor quality sugars. Bobrow believes the drinks are not designed by mixologists and calls out the need for more balanced flavors that entice consumers in the same way craft cocktails do. He provides metaphors comparing good cannabis drinks to well-made cocktails and envisions a future where the drinks are just as exciting.
Infusion Bioscience CEO, Dr. Arup Sen took out time to enlightening our audience at Cannabis Drinks Expo on the new concept of naturally water-soluble lipids
A plan to evolve in the booming market of Cannabis. Mr. Michael Cooper has been generous enough to give an overview of the compliance, rules, etc. He also gave us an idea of the cannabis-infused drink industry and how proactive can we be towards it.
This document provides an overview of compliance matters for the cannabis industry. It discusses that the cannabis industry is highly regulated and under scrutiny. The rules are not static as this is a young industry and regulators are looking to other industries and states for best practices. For drinks specifically, product design and formulation depends on permissible cannabinoid concentrations and serving sizes. Marketing is also restricted in how products can be introduced and promoted to consumers. The document recommends being proactive by having a compliance plan that weighs risks and rewards when developing product strategy and builds a narrative in advance.
Once you have your idea for a cannabis drinks business, it’s time to take the legal steps required to bring that drink to market.
You can think of these 10 steps as a “legal checklist” for bringing your cannabis drinks business to market.
If you still have not settled on a product to sell, you should also take the following steps:
• Perform a quick check of the market to make sure nobody else is using the business name you plan to use
• Study the various types of cannabis drinks already on the market (e.g. infused drinks, cola drinks, tea drinks, coffee drinks, sports quenchers, fruit drinks)
• Do a brief market survey to make sure that demand exists for your product
• Decide on the proper price point for your product.
The goal here is to develop a product that is unique and can stand out in the marketplace, as well as one that consumers will be lining up to buy!
From there, all that’s required to do is to follow the brief 10-step checklist above, and you will be ready to launch your cannabis drinks business.
A two-day experience for wineries, service providers, importers, and distributors – where knowledge and vision will frame a platform upon which you will be able to profoundly impact your business.
Future Wine Expo is an experience like no other, packed with conference sessions over a 2-day period where attendees will also be able to learn about the current status of the industry and opportunities.

Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!
