So, if a Established Regional Brand- just starts Breakfast, while adding multiple new dinner specials (adding them on Weekends) Is it truly about driving business? Or more about staying alive? In the beverage business, when a brand “repositions pricing to a reach a broader audience” it is usually to achieve volume (and sales dollars) it used to have. (And more than likely, it never will again) Opening more day part’s doesn’t always equal more sales, and more importantly, Brand Growth/Sustainable Growth. Doesn’t history prove this practice wrong?

In the grand chessboard of marketing, where every move is critical, the Marketing Teams of Xtra Foods Supermarket and CARIB Brewery came together, not in the boardroom, but in the vibrant backdrop of our local Starbucks. It was here, amidst the lively crescendo of espresso machines and casual conversations, that an innovative strategy was carefully crafted. With the strategic finesse reminiscent of a masterclass in Porter’s five forces, we peered into the competitive landscape with a vision to not just see but to reimagine. Infusing the disruptive energy of a start-up and the wisdom of seasoned market sages, we charted a path that marries the familiar with the frontier. Our strategy for the second quarter is not just a plan, but a mosaic of collaborative ventures, akin to butterflies in the midst of metamorphosis, ready to disrupt the status quo with newfound grace. This collaboration transcends mere brand alignment; it’s a conscious coupling of heritage and pioneering spirit, where time-honored tradition waltzes with cutting-edge innovation. What’s brewing is a campaign that embodies not mere change, but a bold reinvention, a strategy that weaves intrigue with the anticipation of transformation. This is more than marketing; this is an unfolding story where every twist and turn is meticulously designed to engage and captivate. Stay with us as we roll out a narrative that’s set to make an enduring impact on the commerce landscape. The journey ahead is ripe with expectancy, heralding a fresh era that elevates not just a product, but an entire experience to resonate deeply and redefine the market space. #XtraInnovation #CaribCreativity #StrategicMastery #MarketMetamorphosis #XtraFoods #CaribBrewery

Great article . Worth pausing and challenging your own business concept
Lead Investor and Board Chair: Cava, Tatte, Life Alive, Level99. Founder and former CEO of Panera Bread and Au Bon Pain. Author of the bestselling book, Know What Matters: Lessons from a Lifetime of Transformations.
Loved sitting down with Barron's Reporter Sabrina Escobar for a great conversation on a range of provocative topics. We talked: - How I reinvented our company four times and the lessons I took away about executing massive #transformations - What makes Act III Holdings, LLC unique and why we believe we are building the dominant brands in #Mediterranean food, positive eating, middle eastern cafes, and immersive entertainment - The differences (and similarities) between being a CEO and an investor - Founder-friendly capital and Sherpa Management – two of my favorite topics - Current and future state of the restaurant industry And lots more! Give it a read, it’s a good preview for my book, Know What Matters, which don’t forget, comes out Oct. 24! Via MarketWatch: https://lnkd.in/dVe6sjAS

The buzz around THC-infused beverages is palpable right now, but with all the hype and applause, there's a noticeable gap in execution and long-term planning within the industry. While some brands are focused on short-term gains and LinkedIn recognition, few are prioritizing scalability and sustainable growth. With that said, there are visionary brands paving the way for future success by investing in long-term strategies and prioritizing consumer needs over headlines. As we approach Summer 2024, it will be fascinating to see which brands can stay in stock and effectively meet consumer demand, ultimately shaping the future of what I believe is this century's most promising beverage opportunity.

Together, we are stronger, surely? These five drinks brands certainly think so. Neatly following on from my recent post about the importance of storytelling, is this story that hit the trade press yesterday: A band of 5 independent drinks brands (Botivo Drinks, MURI, Lockdown Liquor & Co, RAPSCALLION_SODA and Ama Brewery) have come together to form ‘The Makers Alliance’. The alliance is focused on highlighting the ‘craft’ in producing yourself, particularly in the emerging markets they all inhabit. Now, we don't have the character count to debate own production vs co-manufacturing for challengers, so I’ll not comment there. But, I love this. It’s organised, aligned storytelling, focused around a key USP. To quote Imme Ermgassen , Co-founder of Botivo: ‘Individually our voices are small, but together we can really drive awareness of true craft brands in this space and showcase them.” The release getting picked up alone shows that in action. There’s not a great deal more I could find just now, beyond a fledgling YouTube channel, but I look forward to seeing what comes next. In the hectic, notification-overloaded environment in which we all operate, combining forces to amplify a message and drive home a common cause feels like a very smart move. Maybe 2024 can be the year of the alliance. #MakersAllianceDrinks I’m Andrew Allen, a couple-of-times F&B founder, who currently operates as an EiR, Consultant, and Mentor. I love innovation in the space, and the intersection between corporates and the start-up space. If you want to chat, drop me a message, and if this happens to float your content boat, please give me a follow.
