  • #10 Ranks middle class in more than one ranking Good, but not renowed for excellence http://whiskey.findthebest.com
  • #20 Evaluation More exposure (more instances to see, more effective communication, more relatable) More appealing message (heritage, quality taste, safe drinking) Shopping We cant really change it that much Brand experience How they relate their consumption to what they’ve seen in commercials/videos Social media advertising and promotion affects them and their perception of brand Tasting events, promotional events Reflection and sharing Relating to the advertising and videos Builds credibility for the brand because it aligns with the advertising More confidence to share because more educated and informed on the product More opportunities to share the experience with different people, different forms of association (venues, events, occasions)
