Marketing Plan: Waters Bottling Company

The Waters Bottling Company (WBC)
Introduction to Marketing
Marketing Mix
The water bottling company is comprised of the following approaches to distribution, pricing, promotion and distribution and the customer service
Pricing: The scheme of pricing is designed greatly to undercut the cost incurred per gallon of the purified water when compared to the bottled water. The pricing will be competitive with other filtration systems that are currently in the market (Halinen, 2012)
Distribution: WBC will be responsible for product distribution of bottled water to the home of the customers. It is the expectation that the route delivery person will have an approximate of 40 deliveries per day or an amount equivalent to 400 per month. One of the delivery people will be added when the number of the monthly deliveries will be required at the start and addition delivery will be added if the monthly deliveries exceed 1600 which is more of anticipation at the end of the four month of the business (Halinen, 2012).
Advertising and Promotion: The business model of marketing will be based on networking. This will rather be done in the context of a diverse community organization that WCB is active in. WCB intends to advertize the free trial offers by radio ads, door hangers, and the coupon packages. The existing competitors do not invest in advertising thus leaving the market open to WCB.
Customer Satisfaction: This element of the marketing mix will be attended to with utmost attention. One premise of the business model is generating sales based on prior actual relationship. Thus, WCB will ensure total customer satisfaction in order to safeguard future sales as well as maintaining a contact. To support customer retention, WCB will offer better products at favorable price (Armstrong, Adam, Denize, & Kotler, 2014).
The Marketing Environment
Following the flood that happened in Munsonville, the water supplies are still suspected making many residents turn to the bottled waters for health reasons. Nevertheless, even before the flooding, the demand for bottled water was growing
Potential Customer: Since the delivered water is relatively inexpensive, any household virtually can afford the bottled water at their homes. The cost of rent cool is $10 per month where an average family drinks about 20 gallons per month which amount to 4 to 5 bottles with a total monthly cost of about $30.
The size of the Market: Bottled water covers an area of about 17,571,067 gallons per year.
Competition: The operational environment of this company aims to counter attack about 12 bottled distributors listed in Willmenia yellow pages. Nevertheless, just seven companies are engaged actively in office and home delivery of the drinking water. The other five companies are the sales equipment of the sales. The three largest competitors are Crystal water, Nakuwell water, and blue spring waters.

Introduction to Marketing
The Waters Bottling Company (WBC) of Munsonville, NH wants to launch a new water product in the market. This product is unique as it the water is pure, crystal clear and granite filtered, which would be appealing to many potential customers who would purchase the product. The purpose of this paper is to give an in-depth analysis of the marketing strategies that could be implemented by the company in order to ensure that the product is successfully launched and marketed to the identified target market.
The Marketing Mix
Product
As stated in the introductory paragraph, WBC is interested in launching drinking water products in the market. The name of the product should emphasize on the quality of the water being sold to the consumers in order to attract and retain loyal customers. Given the fact that Mr. Waters loves Blues music, the name of the product should be named “Blue Crystals Water.” This product name would appeal to the customers, as they would have an illusion that the water is clear and blue is a color that could be associated with purity.
Promotion
The first step that could be taken by WBC is coming up with a marketing budget. This would ensure that the company is able to keep its marketing expenses below the revenue it projects to gain from selling the water to consumers. The company should consider forming partnerships with event holders in order to make an entry into the consumer market. Satisfied customers will then spread news about the product using word of mouth, which could save WBC a lot of money.
While promoting its products, WBC’s message should be simple in order to attract and retain customers. The company should ensure that its potential customers are made aware of the process that is used to bottle the water. When customers know that the water is pure and of high quality, they would be willing to purchase WBC’s products.
Place
Given the fact that the company is located in Musonville, NH, the city is ideal to house the company’s headquarters as that’s where the source of the water is. The company should consider outsourcing its distribution services to an external company in order to cut down on its operational costs. As the firm expands to other states, the company could then set up regional offices in those states depending on the company’s needs.
Price
The average cost of water is currently retailing at about $1.22 per gallon. This price could vary depending on factors such as the size of the bottle and the brand selling the water. WBC could consider using a low-cost strategy to market its water by setting its prices below its competitors to attract customers. Besides that, the company could also consider using a premium-pricing strategy to generate more sales from its water products. This strategy makes sense as it is in line with the message of quality being communicated to potential custome.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Sweet Blend Company is a nonalcoholic beverage company that will be located at San Francisco, California. It was first started as a small scale business with the main clients being the local community. The location was chosen due to the vast market potential from the large population, which also reduces the cost of operation incurred in transport and labor outsourcing. The Company aims at creating a significant impact on the market by creating healthier products than the competitors. The healthy products choice is because of the observation that more people are turning to healthy products and doing away with products that are not beneficial to their health.
The nonalcoholic beverage industry has seen an influx of competitors in the recent past with more companies switching towards the production of these products. Giant companies like Cola and Red bull have been diversifying their products to include more health beneficial products which have enabled them to maintain the market niche that they had. However, Sweet Blend will focus on the production of top-notch, quality juice products, which will be a distinguishing factor of our products.
The leading target group for our products has been identified as the working class in the entire population, which falls between the ages of 24 to 54. This choice was mainly facilitated by the fact that this group contains the most significant number among the total population of the county. Apart from providing a substantial amount of consumer market, it is also worth noting that this number contains a high number of the working class in the population, thus influencing their consumer behavior positively.
The main competition in the area will be Red Bull and Monster Energy. Monster Energy, having been established in San Francisco coupled with the low prices for their products, has managed to create high-level customer loyalty which it has been able to maintain through a dynamic online presence thus creating an online community of consumers. Red Bull, on the other hand, has increased its portfolio to include a series of other nonalcoholic drinks that are more favorable to consumers' health, for example, the Red Bull apple drink. However, due to the history of the competitors on the use caffeine and lack of product diversification, the Company will be keen to specialize in the production pure juices with the only necessary additives like preservatives and water. The Company is going to manifest on the reliable name and roots it had from the community where they first started selling to create a strong brand name.
Sweet Blend, as a company formed during the digital error, will be keen to utilize the various social media platforms like Facebook, twitter, and Instagram to promote the product and the C ...

Distribution Strategy
Distribution Channels
Length & Width
The bottled water market faces a cut throat competition globally. The intensity of the channels is used in attaining time and place utility. Competition for WCB is posed by tap water and juice and close substitutes that are represented by same products. The global concentration of the market is low. Primarily, the intensity of the channels decisions involves selecting the intensity of the channels that contribute to efficiency is imperative. The intensity of the channel distributions means having length and width of the distribution. In the last decade, there have been significant shifts in distribution and manufacturing practices. The implication is that WCB having less resource base and power will suffer during competition. Wide width and lengths are not possible as a result of rigidity on expansion of the channels
Direct & Indirect
In distribution, direct selling will involve selling and marketing the products to the consumers directly from the fixed retailer location. Peddling will be used as the oldest form of direct selling. The modern direct selling is inclusive of making sales of bottled water through party plan, personal contact arrangements, internet sales and one to one demonstration. The consumer will benefit from it since it has service benefits and convenience that is inclusive of explanation and demonstration of bottled water, generous satisfaction guarantee, and home delivery. Direct method uses multi-level marketing where a person is paid for sales and selling to people he sponsors or recruits rather than using single level marketing
Indirect Channels
Using an intermediary such as a retailer or a wholesaler are utilized to make the product available to the consumers. This is the most indirect method when there are many small manufacturers in water bottling and many small retailers. Additionally, agents are used in coordinating large product supply (Boundless, 2015)
Vertical & Horizontal Channel Conflict
This will be used in focusing the sellers and the buyers in direct contact. That is WBC will not look beyond the next level. It will focus on the framework for the whole system of distribution. VMS is a channel where a single member of the chain coordinates. The members manage the activities of the channels in achieving low cost, an efficient distribution that is aimed at satisfying the targeted market customers. WBC will use corporate and administered VMS. Corporate VMS has one stage of distribution under the ownership. Administered VMS will be used in that the members of the channel will be independent with higher inter-organization of management through informal coordination. WBC will agree to adopt the promotional activities where we will have one channel member dominating.
The channel leader will present effectiveness of the channel in regard to leadership. He must have a high channel power that comes in dive ...

Business Name: Fruitfit Company
The name of the company has been inspired by the core objectives that the business has to the customers. As the company is committed to providing healthy drinks which will serve as an alternative to commercialized high sugar beverages on the market. The company will provide non-alcoholic beverages based on fruits, herbs, and vegetables. Fruits will, however, make up the largest part of the business raw materials. The use of quality fruits to make healthy drinks has therefore inspired the name Fruitfit as the business name.
Mission Statement
Fruitfit Company is committed to providing healthy and achieve the highest level of satisfaction from our customers and build customer confidence in our products. At Fruitfit, we believe that what you put in your body matters a lot.
This mission statement is based on the mandate that the company has to its customers. Through the providing healthy beverages, the company will ensure that its customer's health matters concerns are taken care of. The responsibilities of the business are inspired by the recognition of living a healthy life by controlling what we consume.
Industry Trends
The global non-alcoholic beverage industry is estimated to be USD 967 billion. This is according to 2016 estimates done by market research studies. The industry is also expected to grow at an estimated rate of 5.7% through 2017-2025. This makes it a desirable business to venture into. In Thailand, the non-alcoholic beverage industry can be divided into the sectors of carbonated drinks, bottled water, fruit and vegetable drinks, performance drinks, energy drinks, and smoothies. The company will primarily operate in the fruit and vegetable drinks. This is especially a good time for the business as changes in the market have indicated that customers are shifting from carbonated drinks to healthy drinks (Helms & Nixon, 2010). As a result, the categories of drinks which offer health benefits to the customers are experiencing constant growth rates over time.
Strategic Position
In the order to properly position the company effectively in the market, the company will adopt a value-based positioning strategy. The company is committed to providing healthy drinks to customers. This comes at a time when the global market is becoming more conscious of the importance of healthy living. Fruitfit Company aims to provide healthy drinks which have been produced using quality raw materials. The company sources are raw materials from the local farmers whereby they are able to get the highest quality fruits and vegetables.
Distribution channels
As the company will be operating in an industry which has stiff competition, it will be necessary to ensure that the products of the company are brought as close to the customers as possible. As a result, the company will adopt a well-networked distribution channel which will ensure coverage of a wide geographical area. The company will have a central point of.
A Study On Brand Switching And Consumer Preferences Towards Soft Drinks With ...Dr.K.Venkateswara raju
There is heavy competition between the soft drink majors Pepsi and Coke across India. Both follow a heavy advertisement laden strategy to increase their market share and reach to customers. With the recent entry of smaller and local brands, they are devising new strategies to retain their existing foothold in this segment. With the introduction of water sachets at KIRANA and pan shops, people may show decreased interest in soft drinks. In this paper we concentrated on the distribution process and market expansion and pricing strategies being devised and implemented at Hindustan COCA-COLA Beverages in VIJAYAWADA by gathering information from retail and KIRANA shops and also form sales and marketing managers regarding the strategies at the company. Distribution strategies involve understanding the various channels of distribution like Grocery, E&D (Eating and Dining) & Convenience stores and also the RED parameters used to assess the retailers. It covers the various coolers sizes available with the retailers in this region. Expansion Strategies include both horizontal and vertical and will enable the company to gain a competitive edge over others in the market by opening new outlets as well as increasing sales in the existing outlets. Pricing strategies involve fixing the price over brands and see that there is no cannibalization between brands as well as make sure that product range covers the entire price bands.

Company Name and its Significance
A company name should be distinctive, extendable, and easy to identify and pronounce, and also provide an idea of the products offered by the company (Wheelen, Hunger, Hoffman & Bamford, 2017). The company name which I have chosen is KoolSprings Water Company. The significance of the name KoolSprings Water Company is that it gives an identity of the company and what it will do for business. The company will be focused on providing drinking water to the market and therefore choosing the name KoolSprings Water Company is ideal for the business. The name is also self explanatory of what the company activities are and therefore it is important because customers will be able to easily identify it.
Beverage to be produced
The company will be packaging non-alcoholic beverage which is bottled water for its customers. The product is ideal for the company to produce because it has a ready market as customers buy drinking water each and every time. The key ingredient for the product is simply water. Most people prefer pure bottled drinking water without any added ingredients and this is the main product to be packaged. Also there will be vitamin bottled water where the pure drinking water will be added some flavors to it. The flavors which will be added are lemonade and mixed berries which will include strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Lemonade flavor is one of the most preferred water products during the summer period while mixed berries water is one of the well balanced water flavors which can be produced.
Company’s Mission Statement
A mission statement is a brief statement of why the company exists to do. It will define the values of the company, culture, plan, essential goals and also ethics (Wheelen, Hunger, Hoffman & Bamford, 2017). The mission statement of the company is “At KoolSprings Water Company, our mission is to refresh lives by providing efficient and reliable products which meet the customer standards as we strive to be the world leader in offering pure bottled drinking water”.
Trends in Non-alcoholic Industry
In 2019, consumer wellness and health has increased which has created a lot of impact in the beverage industry at large. Studies by UCL indicate that 36% of people aged between 16-24 years are now abstaining from alcohol ("More young people abstaining from alcohol, and others drinking less", 2019). Beverage companies therefore are now tasked with developing new products which are not only non-alcoholic but which are in match with the current trends of health and wellness of the consumers. The trends include:

Name and significance
Luxury Beverage Company is one of the many exclusive licensed distributors of energy drinks. The Upscale Beverage is one of its products, which has gained utmost significance and popularity among other non-alcoholic drinks (Bohm, 2010). The company’s head office is situated in Durban, South Africa. This is a privately held company founded in 2010 with a capacity of 100 employees in each of its branches. I have chosen an upscale beverage, putting into consideration three major reasons. These reasons make the company highly significant amongst the entire population it serves and more so, to stay ahead of its competitors first, being a new product; most consumers are eager to try it. Secondly, the organization is well known for its good public image and above all, its expertise in producing energy drinks over the years (Hartline, 2002). Finally, for the case of Upscale Beverage, the name itself suggests a completely elevated product, which attracts a majority of consumers. The major aim is to offer quality products for its customers and more so, ensure that market gaps are well filled for the sake of customer satisfaction.
Mission statement and future growth rate
Luxury Beverage Company has a profound mission statement, which stands by three major descriptions;
a) To refresh the entire world with the mind, body and spirit.
b) To be an inspiration especially in moments of optimism and more so, create happiness through the company’s brands and actions.
c) To create exquisite value and make a difference in the beverage industry.
Basing consideration on competitors in the beverage industry at large, Luxury Beverage Company has to come up with strategies that will in turn provide the organization a better position in the industry. There have been numerous market entrants into the beverage industry over the past two years. Competitive advantage is desired by al organizations. Therefore, the Upscale Beverage has to be considered one of the best in the industry, for Luxury Beverage Company to have a competitive advantage. With such a trend, it is evident that the organization may be successful only it sufficient strategies are formulated and more so, in the event that formulated policies are sufficiency implemented.
Strategic position
Strategic positioning entails the development of intended objectives and specific and applicable approaches to situations that are most likely to occur within the organization operations and other activities. The Luxury Beverage Company is specific in its goal alignment and formulation of policies within the consumer goods market. Considerable steps have been taken to ensure that communication to personnel is prioritized and more so, that the firm and personnel in general are operating towards the firm's stated goals and objectives.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Sweet Blend Company is a nonalcoholic beverage company that will be located at San Francisco, California. It was first started as a small scale business with the main clients being the local community. The location was chosen due to the vast market potential from the large population, which also reduces the cost of operation incurred in transport and labor outsourcing. The Company aims at creating a significant impact on the market by creating healthier products than the competitors. The healthy products choice is because of the observation that more people are turning to healthy products and doing away with products that are not beneficial to their health.
The nonalcoholic beverage industry has seen an influx of competitors in the recent past with more companies switching towards the production of these products. Giant companies like Cola and Red bull have been diversifying their products to include more health beneficial products which have enabled them to maintain the market niche that they had. However, Sweet Blend will focus on the production of top-notch, quality juice products, which will be a distinguishing factor of our products.
The leading target group for our products has been identified as the working class in the entire population, which falls between the ages of 24 to 54. This choice was mainly facilitated by the fact that this group contains the most significant number among the total population of the county. Apart from providing a substantial amount of consumer market, it is also worth noting that this number contains a high number of the working class in the population, thus influencing their consumer behavior positively.
The main competition in the area will be Red Bull and Monster Energy. Monster Energy, having been established in San Francisco coupled with the low prices for their products, has managed to create high-level customer loyalty which it has been able to maintain through a dynamic online presence thus creating an online community of consumers. Red Bull, on the other hand, has increased its portfolio to include a series of other nonalcoholic drinks that are more favorable to consumers' health, for example, the Red Bull apple drink. However, due to the history of the competitors on the use caffeine and lack of product diversification, the Company will be keen to specialize in the production pure juices with the only necessary additives like preservatives and water. The Company is going to manifest on the reliable name and roots it had from the community where they first started selling to create a strong brand name.
Sweet Blend, as a company formed during the digital error, will be keen to utilize the various social media platforms like Facebook, twitter, and Instagram to promote the product and the C ...

Distribution Channels
Length & Width
The bottled water market faces a cut throat competition globally. The intensity of the channels is used in attaining time and place utility. Competition for WCB is posed by tap water and juice and close substitutes that are represented by same products. The global concentration of the market is low. Primarily, the intensity of the channels decisions involves selecting the intensity of the channels that contribute to efficiency is imperative. The intensity of the channel distributions means having length and width of the distribution. In the last decade, there have been significant shifts in distribution and manufacturing practices. The implication is that WCB having less resource base and power will suffer during competition. Wide width and lengths are not possible as a result of rigidity on expansion of the channels
Direct & Indirect
In distribution, direct selling will involve selling and marketing the products to the consumers directly from the fixed retailer location. Peddling will be used as the oldest form of direct selling. The modern direct selling is inclusive of making sales of bottled water through party plan, personal contact arrangements, internet sales and one to one demonstration. The consumer will benefit from it since it has service benefits and convenience that is inclusive of explanation and demonstration of bottled water, generous satisfaction guarantee, and home delivery. Direct method uses multi-level marketing where a person is paid for sales and selling to people he sponsors or recruits rather than using single level marketing
Indirect Channels
Using an intermediary such as a retailer or a wholesaler are utilized to make the product available to the consumers. This is the most indirect method when there are many small manufacturers in water bottling and many small retailers. Additionally, agents are used in coordinating large product supply (Boundless, 2015)
Vertical & Horizontal Channel Conflict
This will be used in focusing the sellers and the buyers in direct contact. That is WBC will not look beyond the next level. It will focus on the framework for the whole system of distribution. VMS is a channel where a single member of the chain coordinates. The members manage the activities of the channels in achieving low cost, an efficient distribution that is aimed at satisfying the targeted market customers. WBC will use corporate and administered VMS. Corporate VMS has one stage of distribution under the ownership. Administered VMS will be used in that the members of the channel will be independent with higher inter-organization of management through informal coordination. WBC will agree to adopt the promotional activities where we will have one channel member dominating.
The channel leader will present effectiveness of the channel in regard to leadership. He must have a high channel power that comes in dive ...

Business Name: Fruitfit Company
The name of the company has been inspired by the core objectives that the business has to the customers. As the company is committed to providing healthy drinks which will serve as an alternative to commercialized high sugar beverages on the market. The company will provide non-alcoholic beverages based on fruits, herbs, and vegetables. Fruits will, however, make up the largest part of the business raw materials. The use of quality fruits to make healthy drinks has therefore inspired the name Fruitfit as the business name.
Mission Statement
Fruitfit Company is committed to providing healthy and achieve the highest level of satisfaction from our customers and build customer confidence in our products. At Fruitfit, we believe that what you put in your body matters a lot.
This mission statement is based on the mandate that the company has to its customers. Through the providing healthy beverages, the company will ensure that its customer's health matters concerns are taken care of. The responsibilities of the business are inspired by the recognition of living a healthy life by controlling what we consume.
Industry Trends
The global non-alcoholic beverage industry is estimated to be USD 967 billion. This is according to 2016 estimates done by market research studies. The industry is also expected to grow at an estimated rate of 5.7% through 2017-2025. This makes it a desirable business to venture into. In Thailand, the non-alcoholic beverage industry can be divided into the sectors of carbonated drinks, bottled water, fruit and vegetable drinks, performance drinks, energy drinks, and smoothies. The company will primarily operate in the fruit and vegetable drinks. This is especially a good time for the business as changes in the market have indicated that customers are shifting from carbonated drinks to healthy drinks (Helms & Nixon, 2010). As a result, the categories of drinks which offer health benefits to the customers are experiencing constant growth rates over time.
Strategic Position
In the order to properly position the company effectively in the market, the company will adopt a value-based positioning strategy. The company is committed to providing healthy drinks to customers. This comes at a time when the global market is becoming more conscious of the importance of healthy living. Fruitfit Company aims to provide healthy drinks which have been produced using quality raw materials. The company sources are raw materials from the local farmers whereby they are able to get the highest quality fruits and vegetables.
Distribution channels
As the company will be operating in an industry which has stiff competition, it will be necessary to ensure that the products of the company are brought as close to the customers as possible. As a result, the company will adopt a well-networked distribution channel which will ensure coverage of a wide geographical area. The company will have a central point of.
A Study On Brand Switching And Consumer Preferences Towards Soft Drinks With ...Dr.K.Venkateswara raju
There is heavy competition between the soft drink majors Pepsi and Coke across India. Both follow a heavy advertisement laden strategy to increase their market share and reach to customers. With the recent entry of smaller and local brands, they are devising new strategies to retain their existing foothold in this segment. With the introduction of water sachets at KIRANA and pan shops, people may show decreased interest in soft drinks. In this paper we concentrated on the distribution process and market expansion and pricing strategies being devised and implemented at Hindustan COCA-COLA Beverages in VIJAYAWADA by gathering information from retail and KIRANA shops and also form sales and marketing managers regarding the strategies at the company. Distribution strategies involve understanding the various channels of distribution like Grocery, E&D (Eating and Dining) & Convenience stores and also the RED parameters used to assess the retailers. It covers the various coolers sizes available with the retailers in this region. Expansion Strategies include both horizontal and vertical and will enable the company to gain a competitive edge over others in the market by opening new outlets as well as increasing sales in the existing outlets. Pricing strategies involve fixing the price over brands and see that there is no cannibalization between brands as well as make sure that product range covers the entire price bands.

Company Name and its Significance
A company name should be distinctive, extendable, and easy to identify and pronounce, and also provide an idea of the products offered by the company (Wheelen, Hunger, Hoffman & Bamford, 2017). The company name which I have chosen is KoolSprings Water Company. The significance of the name KoolSprings Water Company is that it gives an identity of the company and what it will do for business. The company will be focused on providing drinking water to the market and therefore choosing the name KoolSprings Water Company is ideal for the business. The name is also self explanatory of what the company activities are and therefore it is important because customers will be able to easily identify it.
Beverage to be produced
The company will be packaging non-alcoholic beverage which is bottled water for its customers. The product is ideal for the company to produce because it has a ready market as customers buy drinking water each and every time. The key ingredient for the product is simply water. Most people prefer pure bottled drinking water without any added ingredients and this is the main product to be packaged. Also there will be vitamin bottled water where the pure drinking water will be added some flavors to it. The flavors which will be added are lemonade and mixed berries which will include strawberries, blueberries and raspberries. Lemonade flavor is one of the most preferred water products during the summer period while mixed berries water is one of the well balanced water flavors which can be produced.
Company’s Mission Statement
A mission statement is a brief statement of why the company exists to do. It will define the values of the company, culture, plan, essential goals and also ethics (Wheelen, Hunger, Hoffman & Bamford, 2017). The mission statement of the company is “At KoolSprings Water Company, our mission is to refresh lives by providing efficient and reliable products which meet the customer standards as we strive to be the world leader in offering pure bottled drinking water”.
Trends in Non-alcoholic Industry
In 2019, consumer wellness and health has increased which has created a lot of impact in the beverage industry at large. Studies by UCL indicate that 36% of people aged between 16-24 years are now abstaining from alcohol ("More young people abstaining from alcohol, and others drinking less", 2019). Beverage companies therefore are now tasked with developing new products which are not only non-alcoholic but which are in match with the current trends of health and wellness of the consumers. The trends include:

Name and significance
Luxury Beverage Company is one of the many exclusive licensed distributors of energy drinks. The Upscale Beverage is one of its products, which has gained utmost significance and popularity among other non-alcoholic drinks (Bohm, 2010). The company’s head office is situated in Durban, South Africa. This is a privately held company founded in 2010 with a capacity of 100 employees in each of its branches. I have chosen an upscale beverage, putting into consideration three major reasons. These reasons make the company highly significant amongst the entire population it serves and more so, to stay ahead of its competitors first, being a new product; most consumers are eager to try it. Secondly, the organization is well known for its good public image and above all, its expertise in producing energy drinks over the years (Hartline, 2002). Finally, for the case of Upscale Beverage, the name itself suggests a completely elevated product, which attracts a majority of consumers. The major aim is to offer quality products for its customers and more so, ensure that market gaps are well filled for the sake of customer satisfaction.
Mission statement and future growth rate
Luxury Beverage Company has a profound mission statement, which stands by three major descriptions;
a) To refresh the entire world with the mind, body and spirit.
b) To be an inspiration especially in moments of optimism and more so, create happiness through the company’s brands and actions.
c) To create exquisite value and make a difference in the beverage industry.
Basing consideration on competitors in the beverage industry at large, Luxury Beverage Company has to come up with strategies that will in turn provide the organization a better position in the industry. There have been numerous market entrants into the beverage industry over the past two years. Competitive advantage is desired by al organizations. Therefore, the Upscale Beverage has to be considered one of the best in the industry, for Luxury Beverage Company to have a competitive advantage. With such a trend, it is evident that the organization may be successful only it sufficient strategies are formulated and more so, in the event that formulated policies are sufficiency implemented.
Strategic position
Strategic positioning entails the development of intended objectives and specific and applicable approaches to situations that are most likely to occur within the organization operations and other activities. The Luxury Beverage Company is specific in its goal alignment and formulation of policies within the consumer goods market. Considerable steps have been taken to ensure that communication to personnel is prioritized and more so, that the firm and personnel in general are operating towards the firm's stated goals and objectives.

POL 123 – Case Analysis 5 Fact Patterns
Write an analysis for each scenario below. See the Case Analysis Instructions for further information about completing the assignment.
1. Jonas is 18 and recently finished high school. He lives at home with his mom and dad. While collecting dirty laundry in his room one day, Jonas’ mother discovered some of Jonas’ clothing with dried blood on them. She also found a bloody survival knife and muddy boots under his bed, as well as a bracelet that said “Lynn.” A few days earlier, police had discovered the missing body of Jonas’ high school sweetheart, Lynn, in the woods. Lynn had recently broken up with him. The medical examiner had determined that Lynn had died from repeated stabbing. When Jonas had been questioned by the police at the station, he claimed he knew nothing of the incident, and the police have no evidence tying Jonas to the disappearance or murder. Analyze these facts using ethical concepts or concerns from Module 8. (You are not evaluating elements of murder, or due process issues for example.)
2. District Attorney Schultz has brought charges against three players of the University football team. They have been charged with raping a stripper at a party attended by team members. The case has received much publicity and the media have discovered that the three players have a history of violence towards women. (Last year, two other women claimed they had been raped, but the cell phone video showing the forced sex had been excluded based on an illegal police search, and the players were found "not guilty.”) Shultz believes these players are guilty, and has given approximately 60 media interviews on the case. Schultz has also been campaigning for reelection, and a conviction here would go a long way. Unfortunately for Schultz, the DNA tests he ran do not match any of the three players to the victim’s assault. When he questioned her about this, the victim made contradictory statements, and she had no other evidence to corroborate the events. In fact, while her statements confirm that they raped her, she admitted to having consensual sex with two other men at the party, which weakens the case. Schultz decides to not tell anyone about the DNA results unless asked, and instructs the victim/witness to deny the other sexual encounters at trial. Analyze these facts using ethical concepts or concerns from Module 8. (You are not evaluating elements of rape or due process issues for example.) Assuming that Schultz had a strong belief that the defendants were guilty, include in your analysis whether this affects the moral and legal permissibility of his conduct.
3. Michelle worked two jobs as a security guard in Phoenix, Arizona. She was walking outside the building where she works at 6:30 AM, Monday, when two bundles of money fell out of an armored truck en route to a bank. Inside the bundles was approximately $500,000.

Instructions
This document serves two purposes. Firstly, it is a template for the Method section. If you use this document to create your Method section without changing the formatting or deleting section headers, you should have a correctly formatted Method section. You will obviously need to replace much of the text here with your own writing, but leave the section headers untouched and follow the directions and you should be good to go.
Secondly, the text within the body of this document offers advice and suggestions on what to write within each section. They are intended to help you make sure that the appropriate material appears in the appropriate sections. This is text that must be replaced by your own writing, but you should find it helpful.
A final bit of advice: the Method section is like a recipe’s instructions. A recipe lists the ingredients needed very precisely and comments on possible variations (if one is at high altitudes, cooking time may be longer, etc). Similarly, the Participants, Materials, Measures, and Ethical Considerations sections list the ingredients and important issues for the research study very precisely. A recipe will also give the step-by-step process of how to create the dish, just as the Procedure gives step-by-step instructions on how to do the research.
This instruction page should be deleted entirely.
Method
Participants
Begin this section by talking about the population of people that will be needed for this study. Indicate anything necessary to permit the reader to know what sort of person is needed: do they have a disorder? Does it have a specific severity or range of severities? Is there an age range? Are factors such as gender, race, first language or others important or controlled?
Will there be any screening done, such as a questionnaire or a performance test? Will the results of these determine whether a potential participant is eligible to take part? Will these results determine which level of the predictor variable that the participant falls into? For example, if the person has an autism spectrum disorder, an assessment might be made to determine the severity of the disorder in order to classify them as mild, moderate, or severe for the purposes of the research study.
How will the participants be recruited? One can’t simply say: “They will be r.

POL 201 Week 5 DQ 2
Prepare:Prior to beginning your reflection, review all course readings and videos as required.
Reflect:The U.S. national government is based on the framework detailed in the U.S. Constitution. The process that the Founding Fathers used to map out our national government is fascinating and illuminating. The Constitution creates a system of checks and balances and separation of powers that have been focal points for class discussions. In addition, the Constitution identifies three main branches for the national government: the legislative, executive, and judicial, which are tasked, respectively, with the creation of the legislation to guide the country, the implementation and execution of that legislation, and the review of that legislation for constitutionality and legality. Interacting with the federal government includes a variety of different actors and political processes such as the states, political parties, interest groups, and federal elections. All these features create a vibrant and healthy democracy.
Write: In your initial post of at least 200 to 250 words, explain how and why one feature of the U.S. government is the most important for America’s democracy. Choose one feature below to discuss in detail:
· Written, detailed, flexible Constitution.
· Robust checks and balances.
· Explicit separation of powers.
· Expansive interaction by different political actors and processes with the federal government.
Use real-world examples and details to support your arguments. Support your position with APA citations from two or more of the assigned resources required for this discussion. Please be sure that you demonstrate understanding of these resources, integrate them into your argument, and cite them properly.

Stanley my role model
The secret to a healthy life is the feeling of love and peace. Affiliations in our everyday lives play a very crucial role. They serve to satisfy our social needs of being associated with other people and our needs of love. Sages put it that "Blood is thicker than water". A person's relatives serve a great role in their life. These are the people who never leave us in our ups and downs. They indeed are good friends through whom we are bonded by blood.
Stanley is a great friend and a brother to me. He is a person of sound character who quickly mingles with anyone in the society. He is down to earth in making and a composed young lad who does not rush to drawing conclusions when challenged by daily circumstances. His charisma culminated with his education moves all and sundry in subscribing to his viewpoints. Whenever there is need for imparting a young mind with information he does so without hesitance. He is a great source of inspiration and motivation. Stanley's character is worthy emulating. I dearly love and admire him.
Back at home, Stanley is highly appreciated by our parents in his undertakings. He is very generous and ne.

Scene 1
Amanda and Dr. Ryan standing in Dr. Ryan’s office.
Dr. Ryan: Hello. It’s good to see you again.
Last week we saw how the bureaucracy and the judiciary functioned within the federal government. This week, we’ll assess how domestic, foreign, and military policies are integrated.
What do you think about these policies, Amanda?
Amanda: This is an immensely broad set of subjects, Dr. Ryan, so I hope I can do them justice.
Dr. Ryan: Well, Amanda, go ahead and give it your best shot.
Amanda: Okay, here I go.
I think we could begin by defining institutions as systems that help form a government and make it function. They include the armed forces, the church, the executive office, the bureaucracy, the judiciary, the voting public, the economy, and the political process itself. If institutions are strong and respond to public’s will, then the government will function smoothly.
But they could also be extractive. This is when they are used by elites to extract resources for their own benefit. Extractive institutions cause the state to be weak.
Slide 3
Interaction Slide
This will be a tabbed interaction that outlines ways of changing Social Security policies in the U.S.
Social Security could:
· Raise the retirement age
· Reduce benefits for high earners
· Raise taxes
· Increase wage cap
· Individual Investments
Button 1: There are several ways that the government could ensure that Social Security continues to support retirees in the U.S. The first way would be to raise retirement age until 70 years old, so that the long-term funding gap would close.
Button 2: The government could also reduce benefits for high earners, by cutting their monthly funds by about ten percent.
Button 3: Taxes could be raised from twelve-point-four percent to thirteen-point-four percent, so as to cover the ever-increasing cost of social security.
Button 4: Increasing the wage cap would mean that workers would pay Social Security taxes on a greater amount of what they earn.
Button 5: Finally, the government could let individuals invest some or all of their Social Security funds into approved, safe mutual funds.

Developing Strategic Leadership In The Public Sector
Stakeholder Analysis

Introduction
Sustainable development is dependent on the effective function of the public institutions. The public institutions shape the living standards of the people. When the public institutions are successful the people have high quality services raising their living standards. It is Essential for organizations to identify the public who affect or are affected by the organizations decision. An organization cannot function alone and it requires the support of all the stakeholders. A critical element of developing strategic leadership is the analysis of the stakeholders. It helps to determine how to strengthen the relationship for optimum gain (Joyce & JOYCE, 1999, p. 32).
There are two broad types of stakeholders, internal and external stakeholders. Internal stakeholders impact the organizational function from within. For instance, employees and board members are internal stakeholders. External stakeholders influence the organization from without. Examples of external stakeholders are communities and the media. They have a stake in determining the value of the organization. The level of influence, amount of power, level of interest and capabilities of the stakeholders vary (Marr & Creelman, 2011, p. 79). They have strong, moderate or low influence and interests in the organizational function. Some are highly active while others are latent and apathetic. It means that the stakeholders cannot be treated equally in any given project. The have to be classified into different categories through stakeholder analysis. Classifying them helps the organization to develop successful strategies for enhancing the relationships (Joyce & JOYCE, 1999, p. 34).
below is a classification of the internal and external stakeholders, the influence/interest grid and stakeholders influence diagram for this project of developing strategic leadership in public institutions.

A type of mixed studies model is an integrated design (Sandelowski
et al., 2007), which can be used when qualitative
and quantitative findings in an area of inquiry are
perceived as able to confirm, extend, or refute each
other. In an integrated design, studies are grouped not
by method but by findings viewed as answering the
same research question. The analytic approach may
involve transforming the findings (qualitizing quantitative
findings or quantitizing qualitative findings) to
enable them to be combined. A particularly sophisticated
variant of this model is to use a Bayesian
synthesis, as exemplified in a study in which

In drawing conclusions about a research synthesis,
a major issue concerns the nature of the decisions
the researcher made. Sampling decisions, approaches
to handling quality of the primary studies, and analytic
approaches should be carefully evaluated to
assess the soundness of the reviewers’ conclusions.
Another aspect, however, is drawing inferences about
how you might use the evidence in clinical practice.
Examples of critique:
Example 1: A Meta-Analysis
Study: Meta-analysis of quality-of-life outcomes from
physical activity interventions (Conn et al., 2009).
Purpose: The purpose of the meta-analysis was to integrate
research evidence on the effects of physical activity
(PA) on quality of life (QOL) outcomes among
adults with chronic illness. Two of the specific research
questions addressed were: (a) What is the overall mean
difference effect size (ES) in QOL scores between
treatment and control subjects after interventions to
increase PA? (b) Do the effects of PA interventions on
QOL outcomes vary depending on the characteristics
of participants, methodology, or interventions?
Eligibility Criteria: Criteria for study inclusion were
spelled out in Table 1 of the report, together with an
explicit rationale for each criterion. A study was
included if it examined the effects of a PA intervention
on QOL for people with a chronic illness and if it:
(a) was an English-language study, (b) was published
in a report after 1970, (c) involved a sample of at least
5 subjects, and (d) included measures designed
specifically to assess QOL (not, for example, QOLrelated
constructs such as mood). Both published and
unpublished reports were eligible, and diverse
research designs were permitted (not just RCTs).
Search Strategy: A reference librarian performed
searches, using well-specified search terms, in 11 databases
(e.g., MEDLINE, CINAHL, Dissertation
Abstracts, Scopus, PsycINFO). The National Institutes
of Health database of funded studies was also searched.
Ancestry searching was conducted, a.

Policies to Assist Parents with
Young Children
Christopher J. Ruhm
Summary
The struggle to balance work responsibilities with family obligations may be most difficult for
working parents of the youngest children, those five and under. Any policy changes designed to
ease the difficulties for these families are likely to be controversial, requiring a careful effort to
weigh both the costs and benefits of possible interventions while respecting diverse and at times
conflicting American values. In this article, Christopher Ruhm looks at two potential interven-
tions—parental leave and early childhood education and care (ECEC)—comparing differences
in policies in the United States, Canada, and several European nations and assessing their
consequences for important parent and child outcomes.
By and large, Canadian and European policies are more generous than those in the United
States, with most women eligible for paid maternity leave, which in a few countries can last for
three years or more. Many of these countries also provide for paid leave that can be used by
either the mother or the father. And in many European countries ECEC programs are nearly
universal after the child reaches a certain age. In the United States, parental leave, if it is avail-
able, is usually short and unpaid, and ECEC is generally regarded as a private responsibility of
parents, although some federal programs help defray costs of care and preschool education.
Ruhm notes that research on the effects of differences in policies is not completely conclusive,
in part because of the difficulty of isolating consequences of leave and ECEC policies from
other influences on employment and children’s outcomes. But, he says, the comparative evi-
dence does suggest desirable directions for future policy in the United States. Policies establish-
ing rights to short parental leaves increase time at home with infants and slightly improve the
job continuity of mothers, with small, but positive, long-run consequences for mothers and
children. Therefore, Ruhm indicates that moderate extensions of existing U.S. leave entitle-
ments (up to several months in duration) make sense. He also suggests that some form of paid
leave would facilitate its use, particularly among less advantaged parents, and that efforts to
improve the quality of ECEC, while maintaining or enhancing affordability, are desirable.

Introduction Paragraph
According to historical records and evidence, since the end of WWII US has involved her military in over 60 military actions in countries such as Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Panama, Haiti, Kuwait, Pakistan, Bosnia among other countries across the globe. In this respect, American presidents have used their power and authority with the approval of the congress to send and dispatch American troops to engage in military functions such as engaging in attacks and bombing of groups that are pose threat to world peace. Although more often than not, U.S military operations on international level have received a lot of criticism across board it can be argued that U.S has a long history of overseas military operations as tries to maintain its superiority thus currently its military operation plays an important role across boundaries all over the globe (Heitmeyer, 2011).

Slide 2
Scene 1
Amanda and Dr. Ryan standing in Dr. Ryan’s office.
POL110_9_1_DR-1.mp3: Hello again. It’s good to see you here for the last week of your internship. We only have a few more topics to cover before you’re ready to move on.
Last week we examined the role that the president plays in the decisionmaking process. This week we will look at the bureaucracy and the judiciary, two completely different institutions that are absolutely necessary for our democracy to work.
What do you think about these institutions, Amanda?
POL110_9_1_AI-1.mp3: Well Dr. Ryan, I know some of this from my readings. Unique among other democracies, America’s bureaucracy is distinctive. This is because political authority over it is shared by the executive and legislative branches. This encourages it to play each branch off against the other.
Secondly, in the U.S., federal bureaucrats pay other agencies at the state and local levels, as well as business firms and non-profit agencies, to administer government programs.
POL110_9_1_DR-2.mp3: Good start. Now let’s look at the bureaucracy’s growth. It began small, of course, but exploded first during World War I from 1917 to 1919. This was because of the role the government took in the post-war growing economy.
Then, a little more than a decade later under Roosevelt’s New Deal it became even larger. This was because of the expansion of federal programs like welfare and Social Security. Roosevelt later invoked the income tax policy during World War II and was collecting a huge amount of money by the end of the war.
As you can imagine, this required a substantial increase in federal workers to keep track of these revenues. This money was used to start a great many additional programs which, in turn, required more administrators.
POL110_9_1_AI-2.mp3: That very interesting! I think that the federal bureaucracy, numbering just about two and one-half million people today, is now at the same level it was in 1955. In fact, it’s shrunk since then, relative to the population of over three hundred million Americans whom it now serves.
Slide 3
Interaction Slide
This will be an interaction that showcases various facts about the distinctiveness of the American bureaucracy.
Button 1: Political authority. Political authority over the bureaucracy is shared between the presidency and Congress. This means that bureaucrats are able to play each branch against the other. In parliamentary governments, like Great Britian, the prime minister and cabinet control the bureaucracy.
Button 2: Shared functions. Most federal.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Marketing Plan: Waters Bottling Company
Romeo Joson
M1 A3
The Waters Bottling Company (WBC)
Introduction to Marketing
Marketing Mix
The water bottling company is comprised of the following
approaches to distribution, pricing, promotion and distribution
and the customer service
Pricing: The scheme of pricing is designed greatly to undercut
the cost incurred per gallon of the purified water when
compared to the bottled water. The pricing will be competitive
with other filtration systems that are currently in the market
(Halinen, 2012)
Distribution: WBC will be responsible for product distribution
of bottled water to the home of the customers. It is the
expectation that the route delivery person will have an
approximate of 40 deliveries per day or an amount equivalent to
400 per month. One of the delivery people will be added when
the number of the monthly deliveries will be required at the
start and addition delivery will be added if the monthly
deliveries exceed 1600 which is more of anticipation at the end
of the four month of the business (Halinen, 2012).
2. Advertising and Promotion: The business model of marketing
will be based on networking. This will rather be done in the
context of a diverse community organization that WCB is active
in. WCB intends to advertize the free trial offers by radio ads,
door hangers, and the coupon packages. The existing
competitors do not invest in advertising thus leaving the market
open to WCB.
Customer Satisfaction: This element of the marketing mix will
be attended to with utmost attention. One premise of the
business model is generating sales based on prior actual
relationship. Thus, WCB will ensure total customer satisfaction
in order to safeguard future sales as well as maintaining a
contact. To support customer retention, WCB will offer better
products at favorable price (Armstrong, Adam, Denize, &
Kotler, 2014).
The Marketing Environment
Following the flood that happened in Munsonville, the water
supplies are still suspected making many residents turn to the
bottled waters for health reasons. Nevertheless, even before the
flooding, the demand for bottled water was growing
Potential Customer: Since the delivered water is relatively
inexpensive, any household virtually can afford the bottled
water at their homes. The cost of rent cool is $10 per month
where an average family drinks about 20 gallons per month
which amount to 4 to 5 bottles with a total monthly cost of
about $30.
The size of the Market: Bottled water covers an area of about
17,571,067 gallons per year.
Competition: The operational environment of this company aims
to counter attack about 12 bottled distributors listed in
Willmenia yellow pages. Nevertheless, just seven companies are
engaged actively in office and home delivery of the drinking
water. The other five companies are the sales equipment of the
sales. The three largest competitors are Crystal water, Nakuwell
water, and blue spring waters.
3. Marketing and other functional areas of business
WCB is connected with other bottle companies. WCB depends
on Bot bottles entirely on the production of the bottles. The
company is in agreement with Bot bottling. Bots’ product
liability insurance covers such claims against WCB. WCB will
thus carry their insurance that is inclusive of $1 million
umbrella liability policy. WCB will offer various water coolers
to rent their customer base that is inclusive of a standard floor
models or counter top models that offer choices if cold, hot and
cold water, cold water only, cold water dispensing and room
temperature.
Strategic Marketing
Planning Process
Distilled, spring and purified water is bottled by WCN of
Willmenia, who fills the five gallon bottle that is labeled with
its sparkling horizon logo. The refillable plastic bottles will be
collected from the customers when empty and then returned to
WCB biweekly for refilling and cleaning. Plastic is the
preferred bottling package since it is unbreakable, lightweight
and inexpensive to ship and produce.
In the planning process, the company will operate from
approximately 2,500 sq. Ft of the warehouse space in Willmenia
with a particular portion of the area being set aside for office
space. WCB is presently working with the country officials in
order to negotiate and identify the lease on an appropriate site.
Once WCB achieve the customer base of 3,00 or 12,000
deliveries bottles per month, the company will investigate
investing in equipment to bottle water house. An investment of
$250,000 would be required to purchase the bottling equipment.
The company will have a management team that will make all
the decisions pertaining the decision making of the business. In
the same regard, WCB is composed of a strong marketing team
that plans for the marketing activities, identify new market,
4. distribution and ensure customer satisfaction
The plan is based on leveraging the personal contacts where
some will become customers while others will get the interest of
joining the organization as a lower level of the networking
structure. Having this in mind, WCB will increase their
participation in many different organizations.
Strategy
Organizational Levels:
The owner and the founder, Dr. M Waters bring years of
experience in bottling water and delivery to the company. His
family has operated the business for a while now. The
combination of the blue music in advertising is aimed to be
inclusive in the adverts
The two key managers have been retained in a bid to enhance
expansion and operations. ABI will serve as the operations
manager while JEAN WATERs will be the route driver and the
crucial position as the point of customer contact. In addition,
there are two commission sales associates who will be hired to
secure the customers
Goals and Objectives
Goals: Provide the customers with the finest quality water
infiltration units. WCB exists to maintain and attract new
customers. The goal is that in adhering to this, WCB will be the
market leader in bottling water and exceed the expectations of
the customers.
Objectives
Marketing Objectives
· Increase the referral of the customers by 4 percent a quarter
· Generate, 11 percent increase of the customers, turned
associates per year
Financial Objectives
· 70 percent of the revenue stream to come from the recurring
revenues by three
· Then WCN aims to double the digit growth rate for every
successful year
5. Planning Gap
Ethics in Marketing
Despite the efforts of WCB to provide bottled water, there is a
need to find ways to get people out of contaminated water. In
fact, it is evident that no matter the affordability of the water,
many people still use the contaminated water. As much as the
company needs to market the products, it is necessary that the
people be educated on the consumption of safe waters to reduce
the diseases that affect many people. Some people lack water,
and we need to find ways of helping them as a corporate social
responsibility (CSR). The social contribution of nonprofit brand
should be encouraged (Tsalikis & Fritzsche, 2013)
