Executive Summary
2008 National Agri-Marketing Student Competition
TequilaBerry Pops™
INTRODUCTION
According to Nielson’s comprehensive study on the alcoholic beverage preferences of the United States Millennial
generation, Millennial consumers frequently seek new tastes and are willing to pay a premium. 1 The study also revealed
that young adults in the Millennial generation, aged 21-30, are looking for fun alternatives to typical alcoholic beverages.
Sighting this growing trend, Anacapa Foods and Montezuma Tequila saw a chance to form a partnership and jump into a
new target market. Millennial consumers are especially inclined to flavored alcoholic beverages, with strawberry leading
the flavor choice. Margaritas are the number one alcoholic spirit choice across all age brackets and tequila consumption is
on the rise. Anacapa and Montezuma are two established firms in the frozen strawberry and tequila industries,
respectively. Since less that 1% of all newly launched brands survive, Anacapa and Montezuma have decided to
capitalize on their respective strengths and co-brand their newest product, TequilaBerry Pops™.
The first of its kind, TequilaBerry Pops™ is a new, innovative frozen alcoholic popsicle. With TequilaBerry Pops™,
Anacapa can make use of current processing technology and expand their outlets for frozen strawberries while
Montezuma can gain market share and utilize existing distribution channels.
Anacapa and Montezuma hired Spartan Agri-Marketing to develop the market approach introducing
TequilaBerry Pops™ into the alcohol beverage industry and achieve these marketing goals:
• Establish the best new niche outlet for frozen strawberries
• Position TequilaBerry Pops™ to increase market share in the saturated alcohol market
• Maximize total return on investment for TequilaBerry Pops™
MARKET ANALYSIS
Processes & Partnership
Anacapa Foods is California’s premier supplier of frozen strawberry products and is an experienced producer and
processor. Anacapa’s state-of-the-art processing facility, commitment to quality, food safety, and vertical integration
assures food marketers a consistent supply of quality frozen strawberries. Anacapa is a plant breeder, grower, and
processor. Anacapa represents the leading independent strawberry growers in California, guaranteeing a consistent yearround supply of quality frozen strawberry products.
Montezuma Tequila is the second largest tequila company in the United States with growing market share. Montezuma is
continually trying to increase market share against José Cuervo, the leading tequila company. Montezuma is owned by
Barton Brands Ltd, a premier alcohol distributing company operating in both the U.S. and Canada.
Product
TequilaBerry Pops™ are a strawberry tequila margarita popsicle packaged to reduce mess and target the fun seeking
Millennial generation. TequilaBerry Pops™ will be manufactured using Anacapa’s facilities and will be delivered to
clubs through the existing Montezuma distribution channels. These include current Barton Brand distributors such as
Southern Wine & Spirits of CA and Glazer's Wholesale Distributors.
Price
Anacapa and Montezuma will sell TequilaBerry Pops™ to distributors for $1.75 per popsicle; the recommended retail
price is $4. The total cost per good is $0.72 with itemized costs of strawberries $0.28, tequila $0.30, sugar $0.03, water
$0.01, container $0.06 and royalty cost of package (J & J Foods) $0.04.
Place/Market Size & Location
Alcohol consumption produces $155 billion of receipts in the United States.2 Anacapa and Montezuma will target clubs
throughout the coastal and southern United States to capitalize on the high density of Millennials in these regions who are
looking for a fun, new, innovative alcoholic beverage. These areas also attract consumers in this age group who are
increasingly inclined to travel to tropical destinations along the warmer U.S. coastlines.
Anacapa and Montezuma will market TequilaBerry Pops™ through existing clubs in the distribution channel. Targeted
areas will occur by region. Spartan Agri-Marketing developed the targeted regions based upon United States census data
related to number of clubs and number of Millennial residents and tourists. Location of production, company
headquarters, and distributors also were taken into consideration when developing the regional rollout. Table 1 shows a
breakdown of the three-year product rollout, including states, number of clubs and number of targeted consumers.

Trends/Key Factors
Market research conducted by Spartan Agri-Marketing has identified the following key trends and factors:
• Strawberry consumption is growing faster than any other fruit 3
• U.S. tequila consumption rose 38% between 2001 and 2005 and is expected to rise 45% from 2005 to 2010 4
• California is the largest domestically grown strawberry producer and accounts for approximately 87% of the
United States fresh and frozen strawberry production3
• Strawberries are in the top five most frequently consumed fruits and are rated as consumers’ most favorite3
Customer Profile
Clubs:
Anacapa and Montezuma plan to primarily market TequilaBerry Pops™ to clubs throughout the target market regions.
The Millennials, who marketers are labeling as the largest consumer group in U.S. history, frequent clubs to discover new
brands of alcoholic beverages. Targeted clubs will be those that attract high concentrations of 21-30 year olds through an
exciting and “hip” atmosphere thus providing the ideal environment to market TequilaBerry Pops™. These clubs are
located in cities with high populations of the targeted demographic and/or high influxes of this tourist age group. Tourists
will carry their newly acquired taste back to their home region thus increasing the potential for future expansion. During
the first three years of business, almost 290,000 clubs will be targeted in 16 states.
Millennial Consumers:
The Millennial customer is the final consumer of TequilaBerry Pops™. Compared to Gen X-ers and Baby Boomers,
Millennials are more inclined to consume spirits with their friends, in a bar or nightclub. They are the most enthusiastic
age group in learning about spirits5. The Millennials’ desire for variety is reflected in their preference for a wide range of
spirits. Millennials are the most inclined generation to socialize and they choose a more expensive drink than older
consumers. They like spirits to be “fun,” “modern” and “popular”, whereas Baby Boomers are more likely to perceive
spirits as “relaxing” and “suiting their lifestyle.”5 Millennial consumers are particularly inclined to follow beach
volleyball events and enjoy the country music sensation, including music by Carrie Underwood. Spartan Agri-Marketing
will target approximately 23 million Millennial consumers throughout the designated regions.
Club Owners, Bartenders, Waiters and Waitresses:
Spartan Agri-Marketing recognizes club owners, bartenders, waiters and waitresses to be key influencers. They are
important at the point of sale. Their role will be critical in consumers’ decision to purchase TequilaBerry Pops™. To
encourage selling, a vendor campaign will provide posters and table displays to help assist in point of sale promotion.
Waiters, waitresses, and bar tenders will be encouraged to promote TequilaBerry Pops™ by being given flashing pins,
hats, and other specialty items to assist in selling tactics.
Competitive Analysis
Since TequilaBerry Pops™ are a new product on the alcohol market and the first alcoholic popsicle, there are no direct
competitors. Nevertheless, there are many indirect competitors that hold significant market share in alcoholic beverage
sales. These include any other frozen drinks (e.g. margaritas or daiquiris), tequila served on its own, spirits, beer, or wine
served in bar establishments. Since TequilaBerry Pops™ are a tequila-based product, competition is more closely linked
in the tequila industry. Competition is highest among the top three tequila producers in the U.S. who hold 83 percent of
the market share. Jose Cuervo holds 44%, Montezuma 27%, and 1800 Reserva accounts for 12%. TequilaBerry Pops™
do not contain the amount of alcohol that other drinks often do, but the goal of the consumer is not to become inebriated,
but to have a good time and socialize. Over 80% of consumers say they consume 1-2 alcohol beverage drinks when they
are in clubs or restaurants.6 TequilaBerry Pops™ offer a new fun way to socialize with friends and associates. Table 2
highlights the SWOT Analysis of this new product.

ACTION PLAN
Promotions
A combination of traditional and non-traditional advertising techniques will be utilized to raise consumer interest in
TequilaBerry Pops™. Promotions will work to give this product a brand personality appealing to the 21-30 year old
target market. This Millennial market consists of fast-paced, tech savvy individuals who require innovative and exciting
forms of advertisement. Research indicates Millennials commonly spend more time than any other age demographic
online. Anacapa and Montezuma will take advantage of this fact and spend a significant portion of time and money on
the TequilaBerry Pops™ website, online advertisements, and various virtual marketing tools. To meet media objectives,
print media, event sponsorships, and iPod and television advertising will be combined with the web-based promotions. A
direct response by consumers in the form of product purchase is expected after exposure to these promotional messages.
Spartan Agri-Marketing encourages a promotional strategy that will occur in three phases as outlined in Table 5 with a
respective promotional budget in Table 6.

Contingency Plan
Spartan Agri-Marketing has developed the following contingency strategies for continuing TequilaBerry Pops™ growth:
• Product sales strategy: After a successful on-premise-consumption launch, pushing the product in offpremise retail outlets as an item consumers can take home, freeze, and consume will increase sales.
• Expand the geographic target market: After the three year product roll-out, current market trends will
drive the spreading of the product to the remaining states and potentially internationally.
• Expansion of factory manufacturing equipment: With a projected long term product sales expansion,
ultimately the creation of additional production facilities throughout the U.S. is expected.
CONCLUSION
TequilaBerry Pops™ is an innovative new co-branded product. Spartan Agri-Marketing’s strategic marketing strategies
will attract a consistent following from the Millennial generation. Implementation of this marketing plan results in a new
niche outlet for Anacapa frozen strawberries, an increase to a 1.34% market share in the U.S. tequila market for
Montezuma and an 84% return on investment or 430% return on marketing investment in Year 3.

Sports Illustrated Picks of 2009
Draft's bottom-dwellers cannot choose their destiny
Ten years ago next month, the
Indianapolis Colts selected quarterback Peyton
Manning first overall in the NFL draft,
bypassing Washington State quarterback Ryan
Leaf and almost single-handedly changed the
course of a franchise that had posted just two
playoff seasons in the previous decade.
Before Manning arrived, the Colts had
gone 20 consecutive years without a 10-win
season and had made the post-season just
three times in that span. Since taking Manning,
Indianapolis has been a playoff team eight
times in 10 years, with six division titles, a
Super Bowl championship, and an average of
10.5 wins per regular season -- ranking second
in the NFL behind New England's 10.8 since the
start of 1998.
But it rarely happens, of course, as the
teams who selected Tim Couch, Courtney
Brown, Michael Vick, David Carr, Carson
Palmer and Alex Smith can readily attest.
Peyton's little brother, Eli Manning, this year
became just the second overall No. 1 pick to
win (or even reach) a Super Bowl in the past
decade. For all we know, it's just a Manning
thing that the rest of the league wouldn't
understand.
