Marketing of Glenmeadie
SWOT Analysis
Strengths
* Good company as their product is being sold internationally in 180 countries. * Offers apprenticeship to overseas students * History & Heritage: Glenmeadie Castle, home of the company’s distillation and storerooms for nearly a century and a half * Organise events for tasting of their whisky

Weaknesses * Customers are with them for a short amount of time and not there loyal customers for a long period. * Could lose profit due to Vodka and Rum * Production not keeping up with demand * Strategy needs to be changed due to more investment been made in the front end of the business.

Opportunities * Make customers loyal customers by involving the consumers more about the company and its offers. E.g. emails, customised bottles for special occasions and newsletters on the companies achievements. * Bring excitement to the company so it interests consumers. * Increase bonds with suppliers * Personalise bottles for special occasions for consumers

Threats * Competition of other whisky distillers like Famous Grouse * Consumers wanting vodka or rum instead * Changes of regulations * Taxation

Glenmeadie relates to the alcohol sector.
In my opinion the issues that Gleanmeadie face is that production was not keeping up with demand.
However they did do well by “brand was much larger concern, with roughly $100 million in sales on nearly $2 million 9 liter cases sold” This shows that there is profit but on certain brands, which may take a long time to produce therefore creating a concern with production not keeping up with demand.
As I have read through the case study Glenmeadie want to implement a new strategy to keep their customers for longer. This includes providing loyalty cards, special promotions for birthdays and anniversaries and also are including newsletters which will be distributed to their customers.
Glenmeadies want to show they have a superior brand by

    A happy loyal customer will continue to bring you business through the years. Think of this situation. An 18 year old student comes to Verizon Wireless to get his very own cell phone. Six years down the road, he meets the girl he is going to marry, and they would like to get a plan together for cell phone minutes. Verizon, for the past two years has been taking very good care of this gentleman, so he talks his wife into getting a Verizon Wireless phone. She does, and that’s one new activation for Verizon and more money monthly from that gentleman. Fast forward a few years, when that gentleman is married and has children. It is now time for his children to get a cell phone. Where will he turn? Verizon Wireless, of course, because for all these years, they have been taking care of him, for being a loyal customer. It just makes sense to take care of the customers you have in the long run. Yes, new customers are always good, but please…
