Demographic Environment Guinness marketers help stay on track on demographic developments such as changing age structure, geographic population shifts and a better educated population.
Guinness/Adagio strategy is to drive top line growth and margin improvement in a sustainable and responsible way, to deliver consistent value for shareholders over the long term. It will do this through its geographic breadth, its outstanding brands across beverage alcohol categories and the expertise of its people. This is Adagio model on the Demographic environment Figurer. 2. 1. Economic environment Since the recession, Ireland had a reduction in customer spending continued to impact the alcohol industry with sales down 10%. On-trade channel declined at the higher rate of 14%.
Adagio volume and net sales dropped by 9% but has increased in the on-trade in both beer and spirits. The “25th Celebration” campaign on Guinness, “Urethra’s Day” on 24 September, led to significant brand equity improvements and share gains in both the on-trade and the off-trade for the brand Technological environment Guinness are always trying to create and improve the perfect pint a Guinness, Guinness were always finding difficulties with their caned version of the stout, the the head of the pint doesn’t last as longer as the pint you would get in a publican house.
However after years of developing Guinness are now putting “Widgets” a small circular ball with nitrogen that helps improve the head and pint of the Guinness. Limerick university students have also discovered that microscopic plant fibers made f cellulose, such as cotton, can also froth up a stout. Political environment Guinness has and other possible alcohol beverages could see a life time ban in the use of using their brand image to sponsor sporting events.
Philip Browne said that alcohol related sponsorship was worth a total of в?? 9 million to the RIFF while John Delaney said it was worth a significant portion of the FAG’S overall sponsorship revenue of в?? mm. Mr. Duffy said alcohol sponsorship was a small amount of the Saga’s overall revenue. This is to been considered as seen as loss in both ways but a new tackle on underage drinking in Ireland. Cultural environment The culture of Guinness and how it has changed due to since it was first developed in 1744 is Just magnificent.

Ireland national rugby team The low market share the company has in worldwide sales Opportunities Its legacy and strong following even in the market where it has a very little presence will help it in expansion plans Guinness is trying to break in more to the Asian market as a Asian beer called “Snow Beer” is the most consumed beer in the world Nigeria and its strong loyalty for Guinness, as 40% of the beer is consumed there.
Threats The rising cost of raw materials because of inflation The recession itself has seen beer sales being hit rapidly It has strong competitors in the beer market as Guinness does not reach the top 10 errs on the market 4. 0 Product and branding strategies Guinness has four main different types of alcohol products: EXTRA STOUT Figure 4. 0. 1 This is the one that started it all. Crafted over 200 years ago. It has an unmistakable deep-dark color. The crisp hint of roasted barley, the fresh breeze of hops.

However what makes it so famous? Is it the tourists, the marketers, the history or the Irish people itself. I believe that all these facts make Guinness and its brands the way are today. Guinness first brand was the famous “Harp”. The harp caused some problems for the Guinness family when it was first introduced in 1862, 2 years later the harp had to be changed as the straight edge of the harp facing right hand side, the harp was facing the same side as the official government symbol, Guinness now have the harp facing the edge and that straight left hand side.
Guinness started to use the icon of animals that all started round the asses and has been very popular over the last couple of years. Guinness used a marketing firm called S. H. Benson. The artist who created the lovable characters was a man called John Glory. John Glory first got his creativity to put animals on Guinness poster when e was at the Beatrice Mills circus in London, where he saw a Sea lion balance a ball on his nose, and tried to wonder if it would be possibly to with a bottle of Guinness stout.
He also produced the Toucan which is one of Guinness most memorable characters, with a famous slogan that is known round the world “Guinness is good for you”. The toucan retired in 1982 but can be still bought Guinness clothes and different items today. Guinness is known for is fun and wacky advertising, however in 1997 Guinness shocked most of the public in being one of the first company to try ND air a Guinness commercial that for the gays and lesbians drinkers. The ad is called “Men and Woman shouldn’t live together” the ad was never aired and features the song “stand by your man”. 5. Pricing strategies Segmented pricing According to Guinness represents several layers of segmentation, youth, gender wealth and lifestyle. Guinness use age segmentation: They use age segmentation by have a strong persisted marketing campaigns which target the young males. Guinness is often seen as the ‘Fathers beer’, the Guinness marketers are trying to show that their campaigns are unique, young, trendy and fun. Income Segmentation: Guinness beers are more expensive to the consumer, however they target customers may be willing to pay more for a taste which is more expensive to produce.
On Anther’s Day celebrations Guinness drop their prices which lead to the knock on effect of consumers some who never tried the beer acquiring a taste for this product, therefore leading to a rise in sales Promotional pricing Every Urethra’s day Guinness lowers it prices the day of the event, this gives customers a chance to see they would prefer the beer over their current brand. Promotional racing have proven greatly on 27th of September in the cities where it is celebrated in Dublin, Koala Lump, Lagos, New York and Yaounde. 6. 0 Promotional Strategies 6. Urethra’s day 2012 According to Urethra’s Day is Guinness main event every year, Arthur day is created to celebrate of over 250 years, from the day Arthur Guinness signed in 1759, and the famous call to Arthur at 5. 59, every year the celebrations reach every corner of Ireland.
