Executive summaryWhat is it?Much of what Bridlewood Wines are has to do with where they are made. The Bridlewood Estate Winery is situated 30 miles south of Santa Barbara on the eastern edge of the Santa Ynez Valley. This location makes for a truly unique climate – with its warm days, cool nights, and distinguishable fog – which helps to create complex wines from incredibly grown grapes. The Bridlewood products we are featuring are the Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.

Where is it?We are planning to launch the Bridlewood national branding campaign on January 1, 2011. The campaign is national in or-der to get case sales of 180,000. To gain significant distribution of 180,000 store/supermarket chains throughout the US. We will also be distributing the Bridlewood Estate wine to various upscale restaurants within our target cities (Washington DC, Chicago, Miami, Los Angeles, and Boston) as well as restaurant chains to spread the brand nationally.

Who is buying the wine?After doing research on Mintel we found that both men and wom-en drink the highest amount of wine per month. Although there is some variability in the type of wine they drink, we decided to use both genders for maximum exposure and case sales.

Mintel also told us that the prime consumers of wine usually fall into the age group of 55 to 64 years old but we also found a large opportunity in a younger, affluent audience with the ages of 25-34 years old. We found that younger audiences are almost never marketed with wines and are almost completely saturated with beer and distilled spirits advertising. Knowing this poses as a great opportunity to increase sales of Bridlewood now and in the future by educating this particular audience.

How will we reach our target audience?To get as much exposure as possible for Bridlewood and increase sales to 180,000 cases we recommend using a large part of our advertising dollars into trade( on-premise) media and events. Also we feel that an important part of this campaign is getting the audi-ence involved with the company and being able to associate them selves with Bridlewood on a feeling basis.

For trade we recommend seven trade events to help get Bridle-wood exposure and in turn get it into on-premise locations but also allow consumers to try out the product. We propose going to the LA Wine Fest, LA Food and Wine Fest, Windy City Wine Fest, WA D.C. International Wine and Food Festival, Miami International Wine Fair, LA Travel and Adventure Show, and the National Res-taurant Association Trade Show.

We also propose using the trade magazines Cheers and Restau-rant Hospitality. For the consumer we are trying to create excite-ment about what Bridlewood is all about and how they can bring their styles to life. By using promotions like a sweepstakes with a grand prize trip to the Central Coast and Foursquare check-ins that allow the consumer to win a free bottle of wine we can create a drive for our audience to get involved and learn more about what Bridlewood has to offer.

As far as advertisements go we proposed to use traditional media like television, radio, magazine as well as the trade magazines mentioned earlier. We also propose to use our website and social networking accounts like Twitter and Facebook to raise the aware-ness of our product and our entire campaign idea of “bringing your style to life.”

What’s the BIG IDEA!?Our campaign is based upon the concept that people can drink Bridlewood wines to “Bring Your Style To Life” in their particular situations and in turn create an image of what Bridlewood is about. Also, we are trying to inform our audience about the advantages of buying a wine from the Central Coast instead of somewhere else in California. We will do this by informing the audience of how to “Bring [Their] Style To Life With The Flavor of California’s Central Coast.”

The MarketDefinitionThis is an analysis of the wine market of the United States. Char-donnay and Pinot Noir will be the specific areas of focus. If there is importance of emphasis or information on other types of wine, they will be discussed if necessary.

Relevant Market (SIC) CodeBridlewood Estate’s wine Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code is 2084. Wine is found under the classification of “beverage,” which makes the first two numbers of the code to be 20. The two numbers that follow are 84 because it is defined more specifically as a “wine, brandy and brandy spirits” product.

Market SizeIn 2009, there was a surplus amount of wines but not enough demand. This caused volume sales to perform better than overall dollar sales. (Mintel) This outcome can also be due to the fact that customers have become more “money savvy” and are prone to buying lower-cost wines.

Americans are also becoming more interested in wine due to new innovative ideas and changes in the wine market. Wine marketers all over are promoting the health benefits of the beverage in order to promote more of an everyday type of drink. According to Mintel, 35% of Americans drink table wine as of 2008.

Market TrendsA wine revolution:Wine consumers of the present and future have different view-points than those of the “Baby Boomer” generation. People are more willing to try new and different types of wines. Packaging and

situation analysismarketing innovations are points of interest for consumers. They want to explore and discover. A huge trend of eco-friendly packag-ing as well as screw tops instead of corks (to keep wine fresh) are being used. Artisan wines, food pairings with wines, and organic wines are also being marketed strongly. (Mintel)

On the topic of being eco-friendly, companies have changed because of their concern of the changing climate as well as rising fuel/gasoline prices. There is less usage of heavy glass bottles because it leads to carbon emissions. Lighter wine boxes are now being used in replacement of heavy glass bottles. Additionally, or-ganic and fair-trade certified wine sales are increasing due to the concern for the environment, regardless of high prices. Consum-ers would rather be Earth-friendly, over Wallet-friendly.

There is also a new competitive position of wines based on their packaging. With more wines coming out, it is harder to stand out and have unique features show on the shelves. Mintel states that 22% of wine drinkers decide which bottle to buy based on brows-ing and weighing the look and description of the label.

Economic InfluencesAccording to Mintel, about a quarter of wine drinkers have changed their spending behaviors in order to save money due to the recession. People are watching what they spend and therefore are drawn toward less expensive wines. Additionally, price sensi-tivity has caused 57% of consumers to spend less at restaurants which leads to a big decline of wine purchases....

Market SegmentationThe wine market is essentially divided into four segments consist-ing of table wine, sparkling wine, champagne, and fortified wine.

Table wines are then divided into two segments, consisting of

domestic and imported wines. According to Mintel, domestic table wines have continued to grow in the recession. The reason being is because they have a price advantage over imported wines and people who are moving down from more expensive wines take notice to domestic wines.

Domestic WineConsumers are looking more towards a “wallet-friendly” domestic wine now rather than more expensive ones due to the recession.

According to Mintel, during 2004-2008, dollar sales of domestic wine grew 37.5% and volume sales grew 10.5%. The price of do-mestic wine channels have grown to 24.6% from $5.62 per liter in 2004 to $7.00 per liter in 2008.

Price SegmentDue to the economic problems the United States has faced, there has been a huge decrease in premium and super premium wines. Consumers are looking for cheaper wines and want to be smart of what they are spending. More people became unemployed through the past couple years so spending excessively may not be an option for many.

Varietal SegmentThe two top types of domestic wines both men and women prefer are Merlot and Zinfandel. According to Mintel, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon come close as well. Men enjoy drinking more full-flavor, heavy red wines, (Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.) Women prefer lighter wines such as Zinfandel and Chardonnay.

Market ShareAccording to Mintel, the Wine Group’s Franzia (boxed wine) has the largest market share by volume of domestic wines at 11.2 %. Most other domestic wine brands have less than 2% in this market share.

Market ForecastMintel suggests that as consumers begin to see the worst of the recession to be over, they will become more prone to spending money.

Additionally, the online network will channel more sales of wine. Winemakers will shift their focus to e-commerce because it is what the consumer will begin to take interest in when purchasing wines. (Such as Amazon.com)

DistributionCustomers are no longer spending money on the premium cost of wine at restaurants; rather, they are purchasing wine for at-home consumption.

The above chart and graph explain the market share for the three leading wine brands in the market. E&J Gallo leads the market with 26.9% of the market share. At a close second, The Wine Group currently holds 21.4% of the market while Constella-tion stands in third with 14.8% of the market.

Below are the tables of the top five Chardonnay and Pinot Noir brands, who makes them, how much they cost and where they are made. These tables prove that Bridlewood is not the top in either category for Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. However, by examining the differentiating qualities of Bridlewood compared to these wines it proves that not only does Bridlewood have the great taste of a premium wine, but it also has a much lower price than any of these other top wine brands which gives Bridlewood lots of opportunity as well as a leg up on these tough competitors.

Although there is much competition within the wine cat-egories, some of the main competition of wines is beer due to it’s low prices and spirits because of it’s variety of flavors. According to Mintel, the consumption of distilled spirits is up to 47% among ages 21 and up while beer is a close second at 46%. Wine is at third place in the alcohol category at 34%.

Although wine’s biggest competitors consist of beer and spirits, according to the Beverage Industry’s June 2010 list of the Top 100 Beverage Company’s article, E&J Gallo holds a posi-tion as number 24, in the top half of the beverage list. However, Constellation holds a position as number 15 and the Wine Group stands as the 34th top beverage company.

Current Trends:Premium Wine sales are going down:In the past, consumers have slowly started to buy more and more premium wines and have been willing to pay the higher prices for them. However, at the turn of 2008 when the recession hit, con-sumers have began to search for better deals when buying wines. Consumers have begun to realize that they can find wines that they actually like at a price that suits their budget. This has not only lowered sales for premium wines, but it has also changed the way consumers view all wines, premium and budget.

Change in sales of wine varieties:

Within the wine industry, white wines are expected to become more popular in the next couple of years and sales are expected to go up. The leading white wines will include Pinot Grigio, Ries-ling and Moscato. According to Mintel. Within California, Chardon-nay is still the most popular wine among consumers. Pinot Noir, however had the biggest increase in sales. However, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah have faced the largest decrease in sales last year. To change the wine market and deal with the de-crease in sales of certain varieties of wine, many California winer-ies have created original blended red wines. (Wine US Mintel)

The ConsumerThe size of the marketThere are approximately 76,630,000 (21,369,601 Households) potential wine consumers who are aged 21+ in the U.S. according to Mintel. With that known number, our refined Los Angeles, CA DMA has a known 1,172,293 households that consume wine on a regular basis (SRDS). Due to the recession, lower numbers of people have been drinking wine and choosing the less expensive alternative beer (trends 2004-2009).

Habits of the consumers There are many factors that compose the market in the wine industry. This can be tied into the region, age, gender, and eco-nomic setting of the consumer. According to Mintel, women are more likely to consumer wine on a more regular basis. This is sup-ported by the fact that 38% of women consumed wine while only 31% of men consumed wine in 2009. Also, the male consumption of wine has significantly decreased since 2004. This informa-tion is based on the fact that men prefer more flavor rich products such as a darker red wine or beer. A survey completed by Mintel showed that respondents report drinking an average of 5.11 glass-es of domestic wine in the past 30 days which is the equivalent of 1.3 glasses per week. Usage increased from 2004-06 but has remained fairly consistent from 2006-09. Frequency of drinking imported wine is slightly lower at 4.53 glasses in the past 30 days, or 1.1 glasses per week. However, frequency of consumption of imported wines has continued to escalate from 2004-09. During 2004-09, the frequency of drinking domestic wine increased 4.5% while that of drinking imported wine rose by 6.8%.

However, men and Hispanics are more likely to spend more on a bottle of wine than women are. Men are also more likely to experiment with new wines but also tend to stay brand loyal. Women on the other hand are much more price conscious when it comes to their wines (Mintel). Regardless of the occasion, men re-port paying more per bottle of wine than women. On average, men are willing to shell out an additional $7 more per bottle, suggesting that marketers of premium wines should target men.

AgeThe prime age group for wine drinkers is composed of 55-64 year olds for both domestic and imported wines but the prime demo-graphic to advertise to for an increase in wine sales is the age group of 21-32 years old. The maturing Baby Boomer set remains highly influential to wine sales as they exhibit the highest incidence of use. However, the recession has caused this group to retract somewhat in their spending and use of wine. The youngest segments of the population, known as the Millen-nials (aged 21-32 ), are a prime group for wine makers to target because they are the least likely age group to use wine. By 2014, this group will have grown 17.5% in aggregate and will represent a quarter of the population. Making wine accepted by this group is essential to future sales. Also, the age group of 21-34 is usually targeted more towards beer and distilled spirits. However, there is a potential for a large growth in this demographic if they can be properly reached with a particular message.

Race/Income Whites compose the prime consumer for domestic wines but His-panics form the prime consumer for imported wine sales/consump-tion. Hispanics pose as a largely untapped demographic in the domestic wine category. It is believed that introducing and educat-ing Hispanics on domestic wines could greatly benefit sales.

Household income also plays an important part in wine consump-tion and sales. Mintel showed that both domestic and imported wine consumption was marked the highest in $100K + income demographic. This may be due to their higher level of disposable income and the ability to purchase more non-essential products.

Region The last bit of important information about wine consumption is the region. The West region showed to have the highest rate of domestic wines while the Northeast showed to have the highest imported wine rates. Regional variances are noted in frequency of domestic wine, with the West consuming the greatest average number of glasses. The fact that this area of the country is “Wine Country” would encourage residents of these areas to buy local and to have a vested interest in these domestic wines. On the flip side, respondents in the Northeast illustrate the highest frequency of consumption for imported wines. With the greatest European influences in this region, the higher acceptance and usage of im-ported wines is expected.

Consumer knowledge/attitudes and influential factors of wine:

Overall, wine portrays a positive health perception among those who drink it, with 86% believing that red wine is good for the heart and 84% saying that drinking wine in moderation is good for over-all health (note only in moderation). However, many consumers do not know how drinking wine actually helps their health and is mostly based upon assumptions and not factual information. Also, younger audiences do not support this belief as strongly because it doesn’t necessarily pertain to them. Consumers also tend to believe that the more wine they drink the more they perceive to know about wine and its flavors. This can be coined as “drinking confidence.” Audiences also believe that certain wine flavors can coordinate with certain food items.

By using promotions for value-priced and highly rated wines, manufacturers have helped consumers accept the idea that good wine does not have to be expensive. According to Mintel, 86% of respondents agreed with this statement. Further, less than a third believe that more expensive wine tastes better. This is an attitude that is most prevalent among inexperienced wine drinkers (ages 21-24). This particular age group also tends to consume more beer and distilled spirits but also tends to like fruitier wine varieties. Factors consumers weigh when selecting wine are type and vari-ety, which composed 67% of respondents while the brand of wine composes 45% respondents. Recommendations given by family and friends weigh in as part of the decision-making process for 37% of respondents. However, another factor that ties into the final purchase of wine is what they know about wine. If the consumer knows something about a particular wine then they are 2/3rds more likely to choose it. However, 45% of respondents also try to remain brand loyal through their entire wine buying experience. They said they spend the most (nearly $31 a bottle) for wine on special occasions such as a holiday or party. This is twice as much as respondents say they spend on wine bought for consumption at

home.

Trends The recession has caused changes in the behaviors of many wine consumers. It has caused many consumers to trade down for better value over things such as quality perception and status. Because of this current trend, the sales of premium wines have suffered. This has caused a change in the behavior of the consumer as well as a perception in “premium” wines. Beer also posed a threat to wine sales in the recession. Mintel showed that 14% of all wine drinkers are now drinking more beer and less wine in 2009 due to beer being a less expensive choice in the alcohol beverage category. Beer is also does a better job of using pro-motions to reach key demographics. Also, due to wine being tied into the non-alcoholic beverage category it has shown to be de-creasing in consumption. People are now drinking these types of beverages over wine due to them being cheaper. It could be hard to once again convince consumers to revert back to their usual premium wine purchasing patterns.

Among this recession there is some light. Domestic wines have continued on a path of modest growth from 2004-08. Be-cause of a pricing advantage, domestic wines (collectively) have proven to be somewhat recession-proof. Of course, the story within the domestic wine segments—unpretentious, value-priced wines fuelling sales, which reveals that price-sensitive consumer behavior is evident.

It is also important to realize that eight states do not allow alcohol sales on Sundays and eleven states – including California – pro-hibit tasting at off-premise locations (Wine Handbook 150).

Consumer AttitudesOne of the most important issues to consider when attempting to sell a product is the consumer’s attitude about that product and the reasons for the attitude. Consumers’ attitudes are typically af-fected by a number of things; money, the age of the consumer, the time of year, what they think about a product or brand, their loca-tion, their exposure to the product, or how they were raised. In the following paragraphs, we will look at each more specifically. As with most products, attitudes are typically affected quiet a bit by consumer’s incomes and the state of the economy. Since the re-cession has happened, on-premise sales have declined and more people are choosing to drink wine at home instead, as seen by the

Dealers, Distributors, and brokersAccording to Everette Adams – former salesman at Columbia Distributing – wine begins its journey at the manufacturer. It then is either sold directly to the consumer on-site or it makes its way to the retail establishment – supermarkets, restaurants, convenience stores, etc. – In a few different ways. If the retail establishment is large enough, they way choose to distribute the product them-selves. Safeway, QFC, and Fred Meyer’s are prime examples of supermarkets that practice this operation. Another way would be to go through a distributor such as Columbia Distributing or K & L Distributors. In order to get their products carried by retailers, salesmen from these companies must know what their product tastes like, what beverages are similar to it, and what type of foods it goes with. They must also constantly be monitoring the place-ment of their wine in the retail establishment as well as what their competition is doing. In addition, they must be forecasting out three to six months ahead. These forecasts typically come from how the wine has previously performed. If the wine is being sold in a new market, previous sales in test markets or markets where the wine has been sold are used for the forecasting (Interview with Everette Adams).

The Three-Tier SystemIn the United States, wine must pass through the three-tier system before it reaches the consumer. This allows the state to regulate the sale of wine as long as they do not violate federal law in the process. In this system, the manufacture ships their product to a wholesaler, who then distributes it to retailers where the consumer can buy the product (Rackings).

State Shipping LawsEach state has its own laws when it comes to direct-to-consumer shipments. In California, where Bridlewood is produced, all that is needed for interstate shipping is a permit and there is no limit to

This has obviously changed the market significantly. The chart below illustrates this by showing the changes that have taken place in the market since 2008. A major reason for the decline of on-premise purchases is due to the fact that fine dining has been hit hard by the recession.

Income also largely effects whether or not someone drinks any kind of wine. As a general rule, the higher one’s income, the more likely they are to consume wine. The chart below captures this trend.

In the United States, the legal drinking age is 21. However, when people turn 21, they do not necessarily start drinking wine imme-diately.

Although consumers drink wine all the time, there are certain months that see increased sales. These months tend to be No-vember and December. The holidays can most likely be given credit for this increase. Below is the percent of wine sold per month in 2009.

A consumer’s thoughts towards a product can be affected by many things. How they feel about the taste is a major factor, but another important aspect is the culture they associate wine with. Promo-tions are one way for a brand to establish a culture that consumers desire to be a part of. Although it is unclear if E & J Gallo has had any promotions featuring their Bridlewood product, one thing that is clear is that they have done a great job promoting their Barefoot Cellars line. This line sells for about $6 and features footprints on its labels. With this line, E & J Gallo has set up a blog for their customers to discuss wine with and connect with other. Younger consumers view Barefoot Cellars as “palatable,” but the product is “still interesting” enough for the more experienced wine lovers (Mintel; Wine – US – October 2010).

The region in which a consumer lives factors into their attitudes as well. In the Northeast and on the West Coast, often times the type of wine consumers choose to drink is socially driven by the current trends. Consumers on the West Coast are also more likely than consumers of any other region to drink domestic wine at an aver-age of 5.22 glasses per month. This may be because many of the

nation’s domestic wines come from that part of the country. In the interview with Everette Adams, one of the things that was emphasized was the placement of the product on the shelf. Bev-erage distributors strongly insist that their product be on the end of isles so that consumers are more likely to notice the product while passing by it.

According to Mintel, many adults aged 25-34 may drink wine be-cause they learned about it from their parents. Therefore, these people’s attitude may be much more favorable to wine than con-sumers in other age groups (Mintel; Wine – US – October 2010).

Health AppealAnother attribute that drives sales of wine and effects consumers’ attitudes is the health appeal. Although it has been documented that all alcohol - consumed moderately - can help raise good cho-lesterol, wine has many added benefits that other types of alcohol cannot claim. These include antioxidants, resveratrol that reduces the number of fat cells, and ingredients that lower the risk of can-cer.

The popularity of natural foods has also affected wine purchases as of late. According to Mintel, sales of wine in natural product su-permarket retail stores increase by roughly $5 million in both 2008 and 2009. Of this increase, red wine did almost twice as well as white wine because it is affiliated with heart health. The age group most interested in these types of products tend to be members of Generation X (Mintel; Wine - US – October 2010).

Advertising historyAdvertising ExpendituresWine suppliers spent a total of $76 million on advertising during 2009, a 14.5% decline over 2008. Print advertising such as maga-zines, and newspaper continue to be the most important form of advertising in the wine industry. By using publications that target specific audiences, marketers can achieve maximum reach. Print

21

advertising, followed by television and then radio, was the largest medium for wine advertising. In 2009, print spending totaled $64 million; total TV was $10.6 million; and radio was $1.2 million.

E. & J. Gallo increased its overall ad spend by 9.1% in 2009. Total budget was almost $7.5 million, the third highest amount of ad-vertising expenditures behind Constellation and Jackson Family Wines.

Volume SalesThe total volume sales of wine grew from 270 million 9-liter cases in 2008 to 272 million in 2009, an increase of 0.8%. The high cost of wine kept many recession-strapped consumers from indulging in the category.

E. & J. Gallo topped the market share with 21.8% of volume wine sales with volume sales of 59.3 million 9-liter cases in 2009, a 0.2% increase over 2008. The following is a table of Table wine sales of leading companies, by volume, 2008 and 2009:

Advertising Appeals Used by CompetitionKendall Jackson’s tagline: “Welcome to Kendall-Jackson Country” invites new consumer to the brand. Their ads dramatically demon-strate the Jackson family’s beautiful, rugged, mountainous, coastal vineyards from which Kendall-Jackson wines are made (the more harsh the terrain, the longer it takes for grapes to ripen, and the more flavorful they become). More than that, the ads subtly invite people to come to the California wine country—both literally and indirectly through the wine.

Yellow Tail is positioning their wine to be something that can be consumed on a daily basis. Their tagline: “Open for Anything” sug-gests this. Yellowtail makes wines for “anyone to enjoy. Any time. Any place.” They strive to create a quality wine that’s fun, flavor-ful, and bursting with a personality all of its own.

Fish Eye’s tagline for their new campaign is: “This Wine Jumps Out of Your Glass!” Fish Eye wine is going for a look similar to Yellow Tail. The laid-back, brightly colored labels attract a younger audience that is not interested in expensive wines. Their tagline also suggests that Fish Eye is marketing itself as a wine for daily consumption.

The Wild Horse Winery & Vineyards is also located in the Central Coast region. Wild Horse is positioning itself as the unique win-ery with the free-spirited attitude, driving curiosity and passion for fine winemaking. The tagline: “Live Naturally, Enjoy Wildly. In The Unbridled Spirit of California’s Central Coast,” exemplifies the winery’s free and noble spirit that embodies their commitment to spirited winemaking.

This will generate knowledge to our con-sumers, encouraging them to take part in other promotional events and activities. In order to receive the newsletter consumers must sign up giving their full name and e-mail. This allows Bridlewood to receive consumer permission to contact them.

Kendall Jackson Vintners Reserve Like many other wineries, Kendall Jackson offers a year round membership promotion. Nevertheless, at Kendall Jackson con-sumers are offered two different Clubs, the Estate Club and the Classic Wine Club. Both Clubs offer discounts on purchased and invitations to wine club events and festivals, but the Classic Wine Club is limited to particular wines where as the Estate Wine Club offers a more vast variety of wines.

To generate sales during the Holidays, Kendall Jackson has cre-ated their Holiday Gift Sets as well as a Create your own gift set.

This allows consumers, not just membership holders, to benefit from purchasing multiple bottles of wine thus; by purchasing the bottles together, they are able to save money rather than purchas-ing them separately.

Clos Du Bois Super Premium Clos Du Bois paired with Seattle-based kitchenware retailer Sur la Table for a joint promotion, including in-store food and wine pair-ings, cooking demonstrations, printed POS materials, and in-store displays. Poster displays will also generate awareness about the joint promotion. Released during two different times of the year, the one in the spring will feature Clos du Bois Chardonnay and the one in the winter will feature Clos Du Bois Zinfandel.

In February of 2009, as a part of American Heart Month, Clos Du Bois sponsored the Toast to Women Campaign. On February 6, 2010 they joined millions of women to celebrate the National Wear Red Day, where this campaign was launched. This year long pro-motion encouraged consumers to send a free e-card to a special woman in their lives in hopes of raising awareness for women who suffer with heart disease. For every e-card sent, Clos Du Bois donated one dollar to the campaign benefiting WomenHeart, up to $100,000.

Estancia Super Premium Estancia Winery offers a guestbook that keeps consumers in-formed about special sales promotions and winery news. Consum-ers are asked to give their full name, e-mail address and state. This allows Estancia to establish a relationship with their consum-ers.

Instead of offering its own wine club, Estancia promotes its wine through establishing a wine club through Hartwick and Grove Wine Merchants. Instead of offering discounts on just Estancia, by creating a wine club through Hartwick and Grove, consumers can not just get discounts on Estancia. Though this may not encourage brand loyalty, it will still encourage consumers to purchase Estan-

Target Audience for wine:For our target audience we recommend males and females aged 25 to 34 years old who have an income of $60,000+. This mar-ket is composed of lower consumption of wine compared to older demographics but poses the most potential for education on the Bridlewood product and in turn will create increased future sales. Here is a breakdown of our proposed target audience:

-Ages: 25-34 years old-Gender: Females & Males-Marital Status: Not Married-Income: $60,000+-Education: Graduated College

Age:We found the ages of 25 to 34 year olds who consume wines to hold much promise in increasing sales for Bridlewood wines (Index#105). This age group also tends to drink 4.53 glasses of Domestic wines every 30 days and 32% of this audience drinks imported and domestic wines (Mintel). *explain what index means, 5% more likely to drink wines

According to Mintel, wine is usually only marketed towards people 35 and older. Knowing this, our proposed audience has the po-

tential to be educated about Bridlewood and in turn create future profits.

Gender:According to Mintel, 38% of woman drink wine and 31% of males drink wine (Mintel) which helped us to decide to market towards both of these genders. In the past 30 days, males consumed an average of 5.32 glasses of domestic wine while women consumed an average of 4.96 glasses.

Marital Status:Due to the younger age of our proposed audience we found that they tend to not be married but still maintain the frequent con-sumption of wine. More specifically, this unmarried audience also tends to have higher index numbers when it comes to the con-sumption of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

People with an income of $50,000 or more drank anywhere from 4.63 to 5.08 glasses of domestic wine in the past 30 days (Mintel).

Education:Education can play a large role in the consumption of wine but also can compose the amount of income that a particular consum-er might have. Usually those with a higher education tend to have a higher income and in turn are more likely to consumer wine on a regular basis. The target audiences we are proposing have gradu-ated from college (4 years) and also tend to drink wine products.

Knowing these particular lifestyle characteristics can help us with our creative aspects of our Bridlewood campaign. Using primary research, we found that 35% of consumers would try a new drink at a bar/lounge and 35% would try a new beverage at a restau-rant. This helps support the fact that on-premise sales pose for a huge gain in sales for our particular brand of wine.

Restaurant/dining habits of our consumers:Using Simmons, we were able to find some of the habits of our consumer by looking at what restaurants they dine at. Then by us-ing specific restaurants we looked into how many times per month this particular consumer would visit that chosen restaurant. Sim-

29

mons showed us that the top four restaurants visited the most in the past month by our consumer are:

-Applebee’s (Index#185)-California Pizza Kitchen (Index#125)-Olive Garden (Index#180)-Outback Steakhouse (Index#137)*Each index number applies the restaurant being visited three or more times per month by 24-35 year olds

By using these restaurants we can potentially use media and sales promotions to create better brand awareness as well as spark sales for on-premise locations.

Media Usage of the Target Audience: During our analysis we found that there was important data on the way our target audience used media. This was not only based on index numbers but also based on ranking quintiles, which allow us to see how much our audience actually uses each type of media.

Looking at the table above and factoring in their quintile rank, we can see that radio (drive time & all day), TV primetime, and Inter-net whether it be at home or at work, are frequently used among our target audience. However, Outdoor and TV (early & late fringe) are not as popular among this particular audience. We also found that our target audience did read and liked reading English news-papers (Index#127) and magazines (Index#100) in the past 30 days. This could help us potentially advertise in these types of mediums to help increase the awareness and purchases of Bridle-wood wines. Some Magazines that this audience reads frequently are:

Using primary research we found that 70% our target audience does own and use a smart phone such as an iPhone and Black-berry. Knowing this could be beneficial when creating advertise-ments and promotional tactics to increase sales of Bridlewood products (Qualtrics.com). We also found that 97% of consumers use Facebook along with 30% who use Twitter, and 49% who use Linkedin (Qualtrics.com).

media rationaleWe recommend using trade and consumer magazines, radio, television and Internet advertising based on Simmons, Mintel and primary research on the recommended target audience of 25 to 34 year olds.

mediaThe chosen media will allow for Bridlewood Winery to reach the target audience with the message and encourage interaction that will lead to Bridlewood Wine sales.

Media quintile research from Simmons Choices 3 show Radio Drive Time and Internet advertising as the two most effective ways to reach our recommend target audience. The highest rated media are shown below. The media were also selected on the basis of cost efficiency analysis. (For full details, see cost efficiency analy-sis in appendix). The proposal excludes outdoor billboards and newspapers, as they do not have high reach into the recommend audience’s daily lives, as seen in the table below:

Consumer MagazinesWe proposed magazines advertisements due to the high index number and specific interests that we can tailor to the interests of the proposed target audience. We recommend full-page four-color advertisements in the two Los Angeles DMA targeted magazines, 805 Living and Los Angeles Magazine. We also propose to place advertisements in the weekly publication, Brand X, focusing on the hip counter-culture among our target audience in the Greater Los Angeles area. We recommend full-page four-color advertisements in this targeted tabloid formatted publication. We will also run two page spread to advertise the start of our proposed sweepstakes sales promotion and throughout the holiday season from Thanks-giving through Christmas.

805 Living Magazine is a high-end regional lifestyle magazine that combines the style of a national magazine with the local focus editorials and perspective that highlights the Los Angeles area. The sections include home design, style, entertaining, health, rec-reation, shopping, dining, food and wine. The circulation is 25,826 and will reach the higher income brackets of our target audience that hobbies include entertaining, style and wine every month of the campaign. Los Angeles Magazine is regional magazine that combines investigative reporting with indispensable advice for Angelenos. The sections cover people, lifestyles, culture, enter-tainment, fashion, art and dining. The circulation is 139,438 ev-ery month and a pass along rate a little over 3 readers per issue (3.012) gives our recommended advertisements a total readership of 420,000 people.

The final consumer magazine proposed is Brand X magazine. This tabloid-formatted weekly publication is focused for global citizens are trading ideas on entertainment, food, style, beer and wine. The weekly circulation is 100,000 every Wednesday and is passed along at the rate of over 2 readers per issue (2.25) gives the rec-ommended advertisements a readership of 225,000 for a low cost per thousand at $8.88 for a full page and $22.50 for a two-page spread.

RadioWe propose radio advertisements due to the highest effective reach to the target audience from the quintile analysis, as seen above. The best time for radio advertisements we found to the morning and afternoon drive times by Simmons Choices 3. The most popular radio music station type is adult contemporary, as seen in Simmons. Top 40 hit station and country radio stations in preference by the proposed target audience follow this type. The recommended media buys will be focused on the Los Angeles then the secondary target cities of Boston, Miami, Chicago and Washington D.C.

In Los Angeles, the first radio station is recommended to be KIIS Adult Contemporary station. This is the highest rated radio station for the recommended target audience with a rating of 6 during the morning and afternoon drive times. The cost per thousand is low at $21.43 per thousand people of the recommended target audi-ence. The second radio station is proposed to be KKGO Country station. This is the highest rated radio station among the proposed target audience with a rating of 1.6 during the morning and after-noon drive times. The cost per thousand is still low at $51.43 per thousand people of the recommended target audience.

TelevisionWe recommend television advertisements due to the highly ef-fective way of delivering the advertising creative message to the target audience. The target audience is reached very effectively by television advertisements, as seen in the quintile analysis. The best time for television advertisements are during prime time as seen in Simmons Choices 3. Because of the high cost, we recom-mended limited the media buys to the Los Angeles area with one large exception.

We propose only one national television show to use in the cam-paign, Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC late night. The cost per spot is $13,000, which is very large for the campaign, but will reach

33

1.7 million viewers nationwide. This will provide amazing reach at the cost of $7.64 per thousand viewers reached. Our target audi-ence makes up a considerable portion of this total viewership with 716,000 18 to 49 year old adults nationwide and reaching these adults with $18.16 per thousand, as reported by Nielson Company. With audience nationwide, our target audience makes up 14.2% of population or 32.2% of 18-49 year old adults, according to the 2000 census, therefore 230,000 is the target audience reached during one television advertisement on Jimmy Kimmel Live for the cost of $56.39 per thousand adults in our target audience. The most likely days for the target audience to watch Jimmy Kim-mel Live is Wednesday and Friday nights, according to Simmons Choices 3.

In the Los Angeles region, we recommend cable television spots in Los Angeles DMA and the Santa Barbara DMA, just north of Los Angeles. The two cable stations recommended are ESPN and the Food Network. The ESPN advertisements will run during sporting events: Australian Open for Tennis, French Open for Ten-nis and The Masters Tournament for the PGA. We have chosen these events because they fit the lifestyle characteristics, as seen in Simmons Choices 3. The Food Network spots will be shown during the prime time, during Chopped and Iron Chef America. We have chosen these shows because they are part of the most popular hobby among the target audience, cooking and dining.

The cost for each of these advertisements will vary among Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. During the daytime in Los Angeles, ESPN spots cost $300 and during prime time costs jump up to $2,200. On ESPN our ads reach will reach an average of 555,439 adults 25 to 34 years old. However, the rating the Australian Open (1.7), French Open (1.2) and Master’s Tournament (3.2) is much lower than that of the average rating of ESPN segment.. During the prime-time in Los Angeles, Food Network spots cost $1,600 per spot. On Food Network our ads reach 587,423, with a break-down of 307,489 women and 279,934 men 25 to 34 years old in the Los Angeles DMA. In Santa Barbara, the ESPN spots during

the Australian Tennis Open will be $35 per spot, same price per spot as French Open. During the Master’s Golf Tournament will cost $75 per spot, but with a rating of 3.2, the price reflects in the reach to the target audience.

InternetFinally, we recommend Internet advertisements on the websites, which our recommended target audience frequents, the most. Internet advertisements are one of the most effective ways to reach the 25 to 34 year old nationwide both at home and at work, as seen in the quintile analysis above. We recommend advertise-ments on facebook.com targeted to the preferences of the target audience nationwide. Also we propose banner ads on popular blogs for cooking and wines, such as smittenkitchen.com and bak-erella.com. These banner ads will cost $0.017 per ad and reach 560,000 impressions per month.

media press releaseFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Contact: Ryan GrossenbacherPhone: (425) 999-9999E-mail: ryanwsu2010@gmail.com The Central Coast: A Hidden Gem for Domestic Wines With the holidays in full swing, a typical staple at the dinner table is wine. When looking for a wine, many of us look no further than California to satisfy our thirst for a quality selection. While it is typical for our minds to immediately associate Napa and Sonoma Valleys with desired wines, the Central Coast is a lesser known region that is producing some quality wines of their own that are certainly worth considering. Home to over 350 wineries, the Central Coast stretches for 250 miles and 4-million acres from San Francisco to Santa Barbara. The area’s ocean influence and unusual configuration of bays, mountains, and valleys make it a hidden gem among domestic wine regions. The area features grape varieties from Albariño to Zinfandel – and nearly everything in between – which thrive in the Central Coast’s warm days and cool nights. These grapes help to create extraordinary Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. In the north end of this region coastal fog heavily influences the production of the area’s Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. In the southern end of the Central Coast, the fog is also beneficial – as well as lengthy growing season – which helps cre-ate some of California’s most sought after Chardonnays. These conditions are almost exclusive to Monterey County. The history of wineries in the Central Coast goes back some 200 years to when Franciscan monks planted vines in the counties of Monterey and Santa Barbara. By the mid 1800s, eleven Spanish

missions occupied the region and gold prospectors from around the globe were settling in the valleys around Santa Barbara. These days the area contains 100,000 acres of vineyards that produce 15% of California’s wines. So this holiday season, consider branching out a bit and maybe experiment the flavor of a Chardonnay or Pinot Noir from the Cen-tral Coast. You will be glad you did.

trade publication objectives1. Achieve a year round awareness of Bridlewood wines in on-premises locations2. Allow the reader to become familiar with Bridlewood products and continue purchases in the future

Strategies:1. Use the most cost efficient publications to reach our target purchase audience2. Maintain monthly advertising within our chosen trade publica tions

Tactics:1. Use topic related publications that our relevant to our product and our audience2. Advertise in the following Trade publications: -Cheers -Restaurant Hospitality

trade publication rationale According to Mintel, on-premise wine sales were composed of $12,910,00 in 2008 and estimated to reach $13,000,000 in sales in 2009. On the same note, supermarket sales of wine were only $5,375,000 in 2008 and estimated to reach $5,597,000 in 2009. Knowing this allowed us to make the easy decision to reach more

35

on-premise markets because it provides a large potential to in-crease sales of Bridlewood wines. To reach on-premise audiences we propose the use of trade publications. This is because these publications reach a refined audience that is composed of people who make purchase decisions in places like bars, restaurants, and lounges that serve wine. These readers are looking for ways to increase sales in their own businesses and by reaching them we can potentially help them add Bridlewood to their business’s wine list.

Our Inspiration In order to figure out what consumers feel towards wine and Bridlewood specifically, our agency conducted primary research that included an online survey and a focus group. Our focus group was the main influence of our concept because we were able to obtain great insight directly from wine drinkers. One of the most influential statements that was said was “beer is a yelling drink, and wine is a talking and conversational drink.” This direct quote from one of our focus group participants was where the theme for our campaign came about. “Bring your style to life, with the flavor of California’s Central Coast.” Since Bridlewood is a “talking drink,” we thought about what makes it a talking drink. We found from our focus group participants that when drinking wine, you’re setting the feel of your event. The mood being set is usually always relax-ing, romantic, social, celebratory and much more. Once we had come up with the idea to “Bring your style to life” with Bridlewood, we then had to come up with a way to differentiate our wine from others. In order to do this, we looked at what makes Bridlewood so unique and special, which is its unique location on the Central Coast and special micro climate and conditions.

More specifically, we have decided to focus on the unique fog cov-ering over the vineyards that comes from the geographical loca-tion of the Central Coast. For our trade advertisements, we have decided to use the fog as a great way to appeal to businesses. The fog exemplifies that Bridlewood’s wine is so unique because of the way the grapes are grown in the Central Coast’s climate.

With our concept of “Bring your style to life, with the flavor of Cali-fornia’s Central Coast,” we are calling men and women make their events more memorable with Bridlewood Wines.

Events Rationale

Another promotion that we have planned is involvement within various wine tasting events. These events will help to produce product trial, which is our main goal. We have planned to enter into seven different food and wine events and trade shows. We feel that by doing these events we will not only produce trial but also raise awareness about the Bridlewood brand. The seven dif-ferent events that we have decided to take part in are the LA Wine Fest, LA Food and Wine Festival, International Wine and Food Fest in Washington DC, Miami International Wine Fair, the Windy City Wine Fest in Chicago as well as the LA Travel and Adventure Show and the National Restaurant Association Trade Show.

LA Wine Fest The first event we will be taking part in is the LA Wine Fest. This event is the Los Angeles area’s largest consumer wine event (LaWineFest.com). For this event we’re promoting Bridlewood through having a wine tasting table where they can sample the wine and also learn more about the uniqueness of Bridlewood. The event details are:

When: June 11-12 Where: Raleigh studios in Los Angeles

sales promotionCost: $450-per table, $180-electrical outlets, $600-full page color ad in book—total: $1,230Includes:• 8 ft. covered table for wine tasting• Company listing in program book and on the festival website• Glasses for tasting• Ice bin on table• Water pitcher• Spit bucket

Los Angeles Times: Celebration of Food and WineThe Next event we’re planning on being involved in is the LA Food and Wine Festival. We have chosen to take part in a third Los Angeles festival because LA is a major culinary market of influ-ence setting, trends in food and beverage, and there was a total of $18.86 Billion sales in 2009 for Food & Beverage (LA Times Media Kit). The event details are:

sweepstakes:As a promotional tactic, Bridlewood proposed a sweepstakes along with the traditional media. The reason for doing this was to create brand awareness and brand loyalty constantly among the consumer. This also allows consumers to become involved with the company and in turn allow them to learn more about them. We proposed an all-inclusive sweepstakes where the lucky win-ner could visit the Central Coast and more importantly the Bridle-wood Estate Winery for two nights and three days. Not only did we propose one grand prize but we thought it would be a good idea to allow other participants to win something as well. Some of the other prizes include an Ipad and gift certificates to participating Olive Garden Restaurants. Upon entering the sweepstakes, the participant will be notified via the following email:

“Hi _____,Thank you for entering the E & J Gallo Bridlewood Sweepstakes. Drawings will be held on July 1, 2011 and winners will be noti-fied shortly thereafter. Remember that you and your friends can continue to enter daily at www.facebook.com/centralcoastflavor or www.centralcoastflavor.com. Continue to follow us on our social networks( Facebook, Twitter, Gather, Blogger, CentralCoastFlavor.com) for future information about promotions. Also remember to look for us in the wine section of your grocery store. Thank you again for being a part of the Bridlewood community and best of luck.

From all of us at E & J Gallo,

Ben, Joy, Kiley, Patrick, Robert, Ryan, and Shannon.”

The purpose of this email is to notify the contestant and also allow them to learn more about Bridlewood products and help create a relationship with the consumer. People may enter sweepstakes by either finding the form on Facebook or on the centralcoastflavor.

com website. However, using social media, people can potentially be entered into the sweepstakes by tweeting, Facebooking, or blogging about Bridlewood products or experiences. Doing this creates incentives to visit the social networking or Internet sites. The form and rules to be entered into the sweepstakes will look a lot like the following:

FORME & J Gallo Bridlewood Sweepstakes

First name:Last name:Email:Address:City:State:Zip code:Date of birth:Gender:How often do you entertain?How often do you eat out?Where are you most likely to drink wine?Do you prefer chardonnay or pinot noir?

By entering this contest, I agree to the official rules: (check if ap-plicable)

* Customizable Email Campaign- By using the responses to these questions, we can create customized emails that can be sent to respondents in effort to follow up with our potential customers. To help people stay aware of what Bridlewood is doing, we will be sending out these customized emails in the third quarter ( July 1st through September 30th). By doing this our audience will be constantly aware of how they can learn more about Bridlewood but also how they can help use Bridlewood with certain foods and at particular events like social outings and parties. .

On-premise Promotions

One the main ideas of this campaign is to spark on-premise sales not only for Bridlewood but for on-premise businesses. Doing this not only helps increase sales but it also helps create sales later on for both our company and for the other businesses. So to drive consumers to on-premise locations and to make potential pur-chases, we have proposed several promotional incentives.

Foursquare check-insTo help tie in our social networking media with Bridlewood, we pro-pose the idea of using Foursquare. Doing this we can help drive consumers to on-premise locations to make potential purchases and also create excitement about the Bridlewood company. To do this, we will have promotional dates and locations available on the website as well as Facebook, Blogger, Gather, and Twitter. The idea behind this is that on certain dates, the 1st 50 people to check-in using Foursquare at a participating restaurant will receive a free bottle of Bridlewood Chardonnay (if they are of legal drink-ing age) via the mail. The participating Olive Garden and Outback Steakhouse restaurants will be the check-in points. By using this tactic multiple times throughout our campaign, we will cre-ate excitement for our brand while also having consumers make more purchases at on-premise sites. This tactic will be used once a month in all of the in our five chosen demographics. People can either pick between participating Olive Gardens or Outback Steak house that our posted on our social accounts. Total budget( 50 bottles of wine x 5 locations x 12 months x $15/bottle of Chardon-nay wine= $45,000.00).

appendicesprimary research Methodology:The processFor our primary research we conducted a consumer survey using Qualtrics.com and also used a focus group. The goal behind this research was to get a better understanding of the consumer’s at-titudes towards wine and Bridlewood Estate Winery.

Sample and Control FactorsTo conduct our research we selected a group of people aging 21 years or older. The Qualtrics.com survey was composed of ap-proximately 225 respondents in the adult population of the United States. Of those 225 surveys, 223 of them were completely fin-ished. Also, our focus group was composed of 5 people (women and men) who ranged in age from 21 to 65 years old. This focus group was refined even more by only including people who con-sumed alcoholic beverages and more importantly wine.

The only factor that played a role in research collection was the amount of time we had to conduct our survey and also the amount of people that showed up to our focus group.

Response Rates Our survey was composed of 21 questions and was sent out to 1,019 people via Facebook. Of those 1,019 people, 225 actually took the survey. This gave us a response rate of 22.08%.

225/1,019 X 100= 22.08%

We initially hoped to get 10 participants for our focus group. We sent out invitations to faculty members in the business, hospitality,

and communication departments of Washington State University. Due to a low RSVP rate of the faculty, we found people 21 years and older who consumed wine to fill their places.

Qualtrics Survey Questions3. Where are you most likely to try new beverages?The purpose of this question was to target where consumers pay most attention to trying new things. 43% of consumers were most likely to try new beverages in a bar or lounge. 35% of consum-ers preferred restaurants. At home was the lowest percentage of consumers at 22%.

4. What is your preferred source of information for new bever-ages?The purpose of this question was to see what information sources consumers pay attention to. A bartender was one of the strongest sources at 27% in comparison to the internet at a low 3%.

58

11. What is your main source of entertainment media?The purpose of this question was to see what media is most effec-tive relaying information to consumers. Internet was the strongest media used at 62%. Newspapers were the least affective source of media at a low 0%.

14. What are some of your interests or hobbies?This question was used to help us get an idea of what the top interests are of our target wine consuming demographic. We found the following activities to be reoccurring amongst our survey re-spondents:

1.Outdoors2.Travel 3.Cooking4.dining out5.shopping6.social events

21. What is your preferred beverage?The purpose of this question was to see what consumers prefer as a choice of drink. Microbrews were the most popular at 32.4% and Imported Wines were the leas selected at 8.1%.

Focus Group FindingsPerceptions of wineWhen asked how people thought about wine, they generally re-sponded, as it being more of a high- class drinks that is usually not consumed on a regular basis. It can be a status inducing alcoholic beverage. Also, we found that people perceive wine to be more of a calm and social type of beverage. This meaning that it is more of a talking type of drink and not a yelling type of drink (distilled spirits and beer). Domestic Wine is also perceived to be almost always from the West Coast or “wine country.”

When someone drinks winePeople thought wine to be consumed more for get together such as holidays, social events, or even when they are cooking. Many people within the focus group said they would consume wine on a night when they stay in(perhaps with friends or a significant other). Also, we found that wine is often used as a gift for certain social functions. Wine seemed to have an acquired taste among our focus group participants. This meaning that they felt wine tasted better the more it was consumed, especially when it came to flavor-rich wines.

Health benefitsOur focus group participants knew about the potential

59

cardiovascular health benefits of red wines. They also knew that lighter wines such as Chardonnay did not have as much of a sig-nificant amount of benefits as red wine did. As for the health ben-efits, they did not seem to relevant to any of the participants even though they did acknowledge the potential health benefits.

Why buy one wine over another The focus group seemed to agree that trying new wine was based upon where the wine would be consumed, the style of the wine, and the pricing. People tend to buy different wines when it is for a particular event or person. Based upon the importance of this situation or person, the consumer will buy wine accordingly. We also found that consumers may try a new wine strictly based upon its appearance or label. They might buy a wine that looks new age over a wine who’s labeling appears boring. One of the biggest fac-tors in purchasing wine was the price. Sometimes the consumer doesn’t care about the quality of wine and will make a purchase based upon the bottle size or brand of a wine company.

Sales promotions/ imageThe focus group seemed to agree that they probably wouldn’t use a coupon or notice a stand when purchasing wine at a store or supermarket. Also, we found that a wine company’s background or history was irrelevant to the consumer. However, our focus group agreed that companies who tried to give back to the public or held events seemed to spark much more interest in purchase habits and brand loyalty with the customer.
