Problem Statement: Within Kayem Foods, Matt Monkiewicz the director of marketing is facing a critical decision that could have a big affect on sales and market share. Al Fresco chicken sausage is one of their products that has recently gained majority market share in its category. The budget for which is dedicated towards the marketing of Al Fresco has been doubled due to the growth of the brand. What Matt needs to do is decide whether to pay for another buzz marketing campaign or to use more traditional marketing strategies suggested.

This would allow them to increase brand awareness and introduce the product to consumers that previously had not heard of Al Fresco chicken sausage. This strategy would not reach the millions of people an ad in a magazine would but the quality of the way consumers would hear of Al Fresco would be much stronger of an impression and more convincing. Threats: A big thing that Al Fresco would like is more distribution outlets and more shelf space. If they go with the buzz marketing campaign which Matt wants to they will not get more based on this campaign because the supermarkets don’t see it increasing sales like a traditional campaign would. It goes back to the lack of evidence on the actual influences of the original increase in sales. Another threat they face is the bigger budgets of competitors, and threat of them regaining market share with a more strategic marketing plan. If Al Fresco makes the wrong decision on how to spend the new budget they could be facing decreased sales and a potential new market share leader after this year.
Recommendation and Implementation: With the current marketing budget of $185,000 for Al Fresco, I believe it should be used for the second buzz marketing campaign as well as a price-oriented promotion. The cost of this promotion would total roughly $177,000 with $90,000 for the price-off coupons and

In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s the food industry was struggling with weak sales and low inflation which caused waves of consolidation among some of the largest firms in the industry.

Looking to further grow their company, in December 2000, management of General Mills made a recommendation to its shareholders that they authorize the creation of more shares of common stock and approve a proposal for the company to acquire Pillsbury Company, a producer of baked goods, from Diageo PLC.

It was easier to provide tactical support for Clever Cooking. Because the activity of outdoor grilling of bratwurst is not correlated to the consumers’ use of Italian sausage on the weekends, the company doesn’t need to fear the cannibalization of their other brands with this marketing strategy. Both alternatives have proven viable concepts and fit the criteria necessary of being realizable by the chosen date for the brand’s national launch.
