customers have not visited a particular bar, they have no direct knowledge of it. What they do not know, they don’t buy or use.If they do know the establishment, how does management keep them?

IntroductionIn the US, retail establishments that serve alcohol are called bars. The US bar and restaurant business is one of the most competitive retail industries. There is a wide variety of retailers in the industry ranging from fast food outlets like McDonald’s to high end cocktail lounges. In order to clarify the industry, one can note two major segments: one that serves mostly food; another that serves mostly alcohol. The segment that concentrates on serving alcohol is called the Bars, Nightclub and Drinking Establishment industry.Industry sources note that the Bars, Nightclub and Drinking Establishment industry is highly dependent on the state of the economy. In addition, alcohol-related trends are important. In periods of economic stress, the industry usually suffers. For example, in 2009 the US economy declined with increasing unemployment. Those two forces caused consumers to question their spending and become more careful how they spent. Trips to bars or clubs became unaffordable luxuries to some and consumer spending in the industry declined. The industry experienced an increase in consumer spending in 2010. However, the long term picture is not highly positive with predictions of continued competition from outside the industry through 2015. Customers will be attracted to restaurants or may choose to stay home (NCIAA, 2011).The US bar industry includes about 45,000 establishments with combined annual revenue of about $20 billion. In an industry of that size one would expect a measure of consolidation with several established players emerging as market leaders. However, each state regulates serving alcohol, a situation which complicates consolidation. As a practical matter, the regulations serve as barriers to growth across state lines. As a result, the industry is highly fragmented with predominantly smaller companies, whose financial strength is limited. In the restaurant industry, alcohol regulations are less important and larger national chains have emerged they tend to have more robust financial foundations (Hoovers, 2011; NCIAA, 2011).The bar and club industry is marked by one of the highest rates of enterprise failure of any retailer.Analogously, conservative figures show that 26.6% of restaurants fail within the first year of operation (Parsa et al, 2005).One challenge that bars face is short life cycle times. Like the fashion industry, nightclubs and bars are subject to novelty effects. What is new can often create a following. However, novelty does not last forever. Venues that are popular when they are new often become stale and lose customers who are attracted to the next new offering. In such an environment continuous innovation is seen as vital to forestall the inevitable loss of clients.FoodAs noted above, the industry is divided into two main segments based on whether they serve food. In fact, both segments have become similar. The NCIAA noted that while bars originated in colonial America, by the late 1980s, the corner bar, which sells nothing but alcohol, was suffering significant loss of customers. To adapt and survive, bars started to emphasize food and became more like lounges, which serve food and even emphasize the sales of food items over alcoholic beverages. One popular competitive tool is the ‘Happy Hour.’Happy Hour promotions initially offered lower priced alcoholduring the early evening hours to attract patrons after a workday. In an attempt to attract the largest number of customers, bars offer different promotions with a special offer each day. Competition has changed the nature of many Happy Hour promotions to feature reduced priced food. Some of them omit discounts on alcohol.EntertainmentOne other product/service differentiation is whether the bar offers entertainment. Entertainment can range from playing recorded music and videos, television feeds of programs or sporting events, the presence of video games and recreational sporting items like billiard tables, or to live entertainment by musicians.DécorMost US bars fall into two categories based on their construction. Most feature a long bar as well as tables at which patrons can sit and eat and drink. Many are decorated with signs and point of sale items from brewers and distillers. Some also have unique items like antiques or other items to make the environment unique. They may vary in some ways but most of them are constructed in a way which clearly marks the establishment as stuck in a particular city in the present.There is one bar located in Baltimore, Maryland that rejected the focus on here and now. The manager, Kristian Castro, wanted a location that psychologically transported patrons from gritty Baltimore to some other place and some other time.One image that stuck in his mind was of the American Old West. In Western movies, cowboys would walk into a saloon, and ask the ‘barkeeper’ for a drink. The typical scene showed the bartender placing a bottle of whiskey on the bar. The patron would pour his drink for himself. Castro liked the image and knew that it would differentiate his product from others in town.The presence of nearby competitors can increase the level of competitive pressure dramatically.As cities have undergone ‘urban renewal’ some neighborhoods have been adapted to purposes different from their original reason for being. Some industrial areas have changed into residential neighborhoods while others have become part of new ‘entertainment districts.’ Baltimore features several designated entertainment districts. One is located in an historic waterfront district, called Fells Point that originally served seamen and locals. Fell’s Point was founded in 1726 by William Fell, a ship builder from England. It was Baltimore’s original deep-water port for over a century and was the location of some important nautical innovations. For example, Fell’s Point ship builders developed the famed Baltimore Clipper. In addition,they built two of the first ships in the US Navy, the USS Constellation and the USS Enterprise, and financed the “privateers” that helped win the War of 1812 (Fells Point Preservation Society, 2011). Over time the city changed and port activities shifted to a new location.The working neighborhood became somewhat run down. In the 1970’s Baltimore and the School of Architecture at the University of Maryland at College Park began exploring ways to upgrade the buildings and attract newer residents as well as to transform Fells Point into an entertainment location.Entertainment districts are an efficient method of organizing city services. Each district is a distinct destination which simplifies transportation. Public safety is more efficient since police services can be concentrated where needed for fast response. Also, health services like ambulance and paramedic teams can be situated more simply to reduce response time.One consequence of an entertainment district is the concentration of competitors which raises the level of competition. Patrons can walk from bar to bar performing something called a ‘pub crawl.’The result is that bars must share a given patron’s time and wallet. In this competitive climate, service differentiation is vital.Attracting and keeping the right customer is the major focus of competitors.The number of bar competitors in Fells Point can be seen on the following map.Each dot represents a retail location that sells alcohol and beverages. The blue area is part of Baltimore’s historic Inner Harbor.Selected major bars are flagged with letter symbols.The name of the bar Castro manages is called The Horse You Came in On, also known as the Horse. It is the oldest established bar in Baltimore with roots going back to colonial times. It was founded in 1775, before the US Declaration of Independence was written. While the Horse is recognized as a local bar, it had no distinctive brand personality. It was one of the bars in Fells Point. Over time, the Horse lost its distinctive connection with its customers. In the eighteen century the customers were seamen, dock workers, and other locals. In the twenty-first century, customers were the mass of weekend ‘bar hoppers.’In Baltimore, patrons may start the evening in one bar and move to one or more others as the evening progresses.Marketers know that customer experience with a product or service is an important determinant of success. If customers have not visited a particular bar, they have no direct knowledge of it. What they do not know, they don’t buy or use.If they do know the establishment, how does management keep them?The fundamental question was, “How would one form a sustainable link between a patron and the Horse?”In this scenario the establishment “Horse” has been closed for the past twelve months and you are now the new owner of this entity.Given what you have learned about the bar and the Baltimore environment, devise a marketing strategy.Be creative!The only submission requirements: (A) 12pt type; (B) Double space; (C) 1” margins foot, head and sides; and (D) Cover page with your name, a title, and course number.ReferencesFells Point Preservation Society (2019), http://www.fellspoint.us/accessed August 6, 2019.Hoovers (2011) http://www.hoovers.com/industry/bars-nightclubs/1817-1.html.

Trap-Ease America: The Big Cheese of Mousetraps CONVENTIONAL WISDOMOne April

Question Trap-Ease America: The Big Cheese of Mousetraps CONVENTIONAL WISDOMOne April morning, Martha House, president of Trap-Ease America, entered her office in Costa Mesa, California. She paused for a moment to contemplate the Ralph Waldo Emerson quote that she had framed and hung near her desk:If a man [can] . . . make a better mousetrap than his neighbor . . . the world will make a beaten path to his door.Perhaps, she mused, Emerson knew something that she didn’t. She had the better mousetrap—Trap-Ease—but the world didn’t seem all that excited about it.The National Hardware Show Martha had just returned from the National Hardware Show in Chicago. Standing in the trade show display booth for long hours and answering the same questions hundreds of times had been tiring. Yet, all the hard work had paid off. Each year, National Hardware Show officials held a contest to select the best new product introduced at that year’s show. The Trap-Ease had won the contest this year, beating out over 300 new products.Such notoriety was not new for the Trap-Ease mousetrap, however. People magazine had run a feature article on the trap, and the trap had been the subject of numerous talk shows and articles in various popular press and trade publications.Despite all of this attention, however, the expected demand for the trap had not materialized. Martha hoped that this award might stimulate increased interest and sales. BACKGROUNDA group of investors had formed Trap-Ease America in January after it had obtained worldwide rights to market the innovative mousetrap. In return for marketing rights, the group agreed to pay the inventor and patent holder, a retired rancher, a royalty fee for each trap sold. The group then hired Martha to serve as president and to develop and manage the Trap-Ease America organization.Course Code – MKT5006SKYLINE UNIVERSITY COLLEGESUMMER 201920202019018/MKT5006P a g e | 2Trap-Ease America contracted with a plastics-manufacturing firm to produce the traps. The trap consisted of a square, plastic tube measuring about 6 inches long and 1-1/2 inches in diameter. The tube bent in the middle at a 30-degree angle, so that when the front part of the tube rested on a flat surface, the other end was elevated. The elevated end held a removable cap into which the user placed bait (cheese, dog food, or some other aromatic tidbit). The front end of the tube had a hinged door. When the trap was “open,” this door rested on two narrow “stilts” attached to the two bottom corners of the door.The simple trap worked very efficiently. A mouse, smelling the bait, entered the tube through the open end. As it walked up the angled bottom toward the bait, its weight made the elevated end of the trap drop downward. This action elevated the open end, allowing the hinged door to swing closed, trapping the mouse. Small teeth on the ends of the stilts caught in a groove on the bottom of the trap, locking the door closed. The user could then dispose of the mouse while it was still alive, or the user could leave it alone for a few hours to suffocate in the trap.Martha believed the trap had many advantages for the consumer when compared with traditional spring-loaded traps or poisons. Consumers could use it safely and easily with no risk of catching their fingers while loading it. It posed no injury or poisoning threat to children or pets. Furthermore, with Trap-Ease, consumers avoided the unpleasant “mess” they often encountered with the violent spring-loaded traps. The Trap-Ease created no “clean-up” problem. Finally, the user could reuse the trap or simply throw it away.Martha’s early research suggested that women were the best target market for the Trap-Ease. Men, it seemed, were more willing to buy and use the traditional, spring- loaded trap. The targeted women, however, did not like the traditional trap. These women often stayed at home and took care of their children. Thus, they wanted a means of dealing with the mouse problem that avoided the unpleasantness and risks that the standard trap created in the home.To reach this target market, Martha decided to distribute Trap-Ease through national grocery, hardware, and drug chains such as Safeway, Kmart, Hechingers, and CB Drug. She sold the trap directly to these large retailers, avoiding any wholesalers or other middlemenThe traps sold in packages of two, with a suggested retail price of $2.49. Although this price made the Trap-Ease about five to ten times more expensive than smaller, standard traps, consumers appeared to offer little initial price resistance. The manufacturing cost for the Trap-Ease, including freight and packaging costs, was about 31 cents per unit. The company paid an additional 8.2 cents per unit in royalty fees. Martha priced the traps to retailers at 99 cents per unit (two units to a package) and estimated that, after sales and volume discounts, Trap-Ease would produce net revenue from retailers of 75 cents per unit.To promote the product, Martha had budgeted approximately $60,000 for the first year. She planned to use $50,000 of this amount for travel costs to visit trade shows and to make sales calls on retailers.She planned to use the remaining $10,000 for advertising. So far, however, because the mousetrap had generated so much publicity, she had not felt that she needed to do much advertising. Still, she had placed advertising in Good Housekeeping (after all, theSKYLINE UNIVERSITY COLLEGESUMMER 201920202019018/MKT5006P a g e | 3trap had earned the Good Housekeeping Seal of Approval) and in other “home and shelter” magazines. Martha was the company’s only salesperson, but she intended to hire more salespeople soon.Martha had initially forecasted Trap-Ease’s first-year sales at five million units. Through April, however, the company had only sold several hundred thousand units. Martha wondered if most new products got off to such a slow start, or if she was doing something wrong. She had detected some problems, although none seemed overly serious. For one, there had not been enough repeat buying. For another, she had noted that many of the retailers upon whom she called kept their sample mousetraps on their desks as conversation pieces—she wanted the traps to be used and demonstrated. Martha wondered if consumers were also buying the traps as novelties rather than as solutions to their mouse problems.Martha knew that the investor group believed that Trap-Ease America had a “once-in-a- lifetime chance” with its innovative mousetrap, and she sensed the group’s impatience with the company’s progress so far. She had budgeted approximately $250,000 in administrative and fixed costs for the first year (not including marketing costs). To keep the investors happy, the company needed to sell enough traps to cover those costs and make a reasonable profit.BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARDIn these first few months, Martha had learned that marketing a new product was not an easy task. Some customers were very demanding. For example, one national retailer had placed a large order with instructions that Trap-Ease America was to deliver the order to the loading dock at one of the retailer’s warehouses between 1:00 and 3:00p.m. on a specified day. When the truck delivering the order arrived after 3:00 p.m., the retailer had refused to accept the shipment. The retailer had told Martha it would be a year before she got another chance.As Martha sat down at her desk, she realized she needed to rethink her marketing strategy. Perhaps she had missed something or made some mistake that was causing sales to be so slow. Glancing at the quotation again, she thought that perhaps she should send the picky retailer and other customers a copy of Emerson’s famous quote.FALL 2018/MKT5006 P a g e | 4SKYLINE UNIVERSITY COLLEGEQuestions1.
