Dear Mr R. Murray
As per your request I am submitting to you the attached report analysing XXXX Gold Beer in the Australian beer industry titled ‘XXXX Gold in the Australian Beer Industry’, due on the 3 October 2012.
The purpose of this report is to inform you of the company background, product attributes, promotional strategies including target market and marketing mix along with the pricing strategies for XXXX Gold Beer.
Our investigations suggest that XXXX Beer has good market share in the current Australian beer market. However, as outlined in the report falling consumption levels and an increasing number of local and international competitors could reduce this market share if action is not taken.
We have suggested adjustments that could be made to the marketing mix that could potentially help XXXX to compete with international and local competitors in turn resulting in a solid hold on the market share.
I once again thank you for this opportunity. If you have any further questions regarding the content of this report please feel free to contact me on (07) 46613523.
Yours Sincerely
