Dear Ms. Hill,
Our marketing research team has been conducting basic secondary research for Budweiser based on its current target market for males. Based on our research, we see value in pursuing a study that focuses on the potential target market segment of females, as this is an unchartered area for Budweiser’s target market. Good! Our team believes that the primary marketing challenge for Budweiser today, is integrating a marketing campaign that will attract women (between the ages of) to Budweiser while still putting an emphasis on customer retention so that males will still drink Budweiser.
Since Budweiser already owns the majority of the market share (how much exactly?), by having women drink beer, this can make them the top-grossing beer brand. Considering Budweiser has targeted the male market with their advertisements for decades, we have seen an opening to target Budweiser towards women, who are in college/university or young
