Market Entry Strategy for Jack
Daniels (Brown-Forman) to Germany

Brown-Foreman Company
The Brown-Forman company who is the owner of the Jack Daniels brand since 1956 was founded in 1870 by George Gavin Brown, a young pharmaceuticals salesman in Louisville, who had the then-novel idea of selling top-grade whiskey in sealed glass bottles. Since then it has grown into a company that in fiscal 2006 had sales of 2.4 billion dollars. The Brown family controls more than 70% of the voting shares.
“This isn’t a History Lesson, This is Jack Daniels” “Was it simply his lucky number? Some say that Jack Daniel had seven girlfriends or the #7 train carried his barrels. Only Mr. Jack knows the real reason.” Jack Daniels was founded in 1863, at age 13 Jack Daniel owned his first whiskey still. The United States licensed its first ever distillery in Lynchburg, Tennessee in 1866. This site is where Jack Daniels whiskey is still produced, today. Jack Daniel’s whiskey has become the top-selling whiskey in the United States due to few safety concerns involved in the distilling process. Also, prioritizing quality was Jack’s other focus, he said, “Every day we make it, we’ll make it the best we can.”

    Granpa decided that since Little Tree was six, he should start learning the trade too. And so Granpa taught little tree all about whiskey making and he learned how to use Granpa's prized still, which was all copper and very good quality. Most people used white corn to make whisky but Granpa used Indian corn which gave his product a distinctive color. Little Tree tried very hard to be a good apprentice and succeeded. He would try hard not to make too much noise or to burn the moonshine. Granpa and Little Tree would carry the whiskey back and sell it to the General Store, to Mr. Jenkins to be exact, for 2 dollars a gallon which was good money. They sold 9 gallons each time and kept 2 for themselves. Little Tree had a special job of cleaning the barrels out which he did quickly because they were hot.…

    Dr Pepper was created at Morrison¡¯s Old Corner Drug store in Waco Texas in 1885, making it the oldest soft drink in the United States. It was first created by Charles Alderton, a pharmacist, when he mixed several fruit flavored carbonated beverages. After creating a flavor he liked his boss test-tasted it and decided to serve it at their soda fountain. Popularity grew and soon other soda fountain operators wanted to sell it so Morrison began producing syrup for the drink. Robert Lazenby a beverage chemist and proprietor of The Circle ¡°A¡± Ginger Ale Company tasted the drink and offered to produce the syrup at his bottling plant. In 1904 Lazenby and his son-in-law J.B O¡¯Hara introduced Dr Pepper at the Worlds Fair, giving 20 million people a chance to taste it (Dr Pepper/Seven Up). As Dr Pepper continued to grow, Morrison and Lazenby created a new firm, the Artesian Mfg. & Bottling Company, which later became the Dr Pepper Company.

    It represents a time when an attempt was made to legislate morality. The legislation of morality is still an argument that is debated today. The legislation of morality questions where the line between public and private behaviors should be drawn (Heller, 2015). For the sake of grasping the lingo of judicial policy regarding alcohol, the term “dry” is a county in the United States, “whose government forbids the sale of any kind of alcoholic beverages,” “limited,” also known as “moist” is a county which has certain limitations on the sale of alcohol, and a “wet” county does not have any barring and/or laws regarding the consumption, sale, or manufacture of alcohol (Wet and dry counties: Control and license states, 2014). Interestingly, I grew up in Blount County, Tennessee, which was a “dry county” until November 4, 2008, when the vote won to allow liquor, but with certain limitations. Blount is considered a “limited” county in regards to alcohol. Knox County, considered a “wet” county is where I reside now. However, there are limitations in Knox County of when you can buy it. One of the largest manufacturers of whiskey is Jack Daniels Whiskey, which is distilled in Lynchburg, Tennessee. The distillery is located in Moore County, Tennessee, which is considered a dry county. No other alcohol, including Jack Daniel’s whiskey can be bought in Moore County. However, Jack Daniel’s whiskey is available in the Jack Daniel’s distillery gift shop, bought as a souvenir (Kelly,…

    Germany and the U.S can be different in many ways. German culture is very unique and fascinating. As the U.S shares very many different types of traditions and holidays that some might not agree with or celebrate. For instance, in German bathrooms they have attendants to help you with your needs, and to clean. If you walked into a public bathroom in the U.S you might expect a very dirty & smelly & vandalised bathroom. Germany is very developed at the moment and you can see that when you take a look at a population pyramid of their country. As…
