Executive Summary

The company’s product lines are Martin Cove Pilsner and Red Ale. This year, Martin Cove Brewing Company, will gross $520,000 in sales. This was generated from an initial investment of $150,000.

Martin Cove Brewing Company handcrafts its beers in small 20 barrel batches under the close personal attention of our brewers. The latest brewing equipment and technologies are seamlessly combined with traditional brewing methods to ensure consistently excellent taste, whether packaged in bottles or draft kegs.

Martin Cove Brewing Company is planning to expand its distribution to selected metro areas within the state of Oregon. Over the last three years, Martin Cove Brewing Company has become one of the city’s most popular microbreweries, and aims to repeat this Oregon-wide. In addition, the company will introduce a new product, a traditional German Marzen style lager. Owner funding and internally generated cash flow will enable the expansion plan. Sales projections for the next three years are based on current sales success with the target customer base in southern Oregon. The effective implementation of this plan will result in sales revenues growing to $1.2 million by Year 3.

Martin Cove Brewing Company will apply the same sales strategy that built sales in Medford: remove all obstacles between you and the customer. Once the customer tastes the product, he or she will know the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle of Martin Cove.

Martin Cove Microbrews will be available in bars as well as retail outlets, such as local markets and corner stores. It will also aim to distribute through supermarkets, but it is envisioned that getting shelf space in national supermarkets will be more difficult and more expensive.

Products

Martin Cove Brewing Company has three beer product lines:

  • Roaring River Red is an Irish style ale made the traditional way, with
    roasted specialty malts that give it that deep, ruby-colored hue.
  • Martin Cove Pilsner is light, crisp and crystal clear, with a pure white foamy head. It’s a blend of the very finest domestic and imported malts, hops and bottom-fermented lager yeast, delicately balanced.
  • Martin Cove Lager is brewed in the traditional German Marzen style and is malty and full-bodied. We combine imported German hops and a special European yeast strain with the finest two row malted barley from the Pacific Northwest to give Martin Cove Lager its unique character and warm, light amber color.

Market Analysis Summary

Over the past ten years, regional microbreweries have gained market share of beer sales in the state of Oregon. A number of regional brands have moved from speciality market to the supermarket. The numbers have been impressive. At present, regional microbrews represent 10% of beer sales in Oregon. This represents a 35% increase over sales numbers for the year 2000. Most importantly, the increased sales have occurred in the affluent communities in Oregon’s metro areas.

Oregon’s population has grown by 15% annually for the past ten years. Most of the growth has been in response to the explosion of hiring in the high-tech industry. The growth has added to the customer base that purchases regional microbrews. Traditionally, microbrews have been favored by young professional men and women in their late twenties and early thirties.

Another growth area that has had an impact on microbrew sales is the dramatic enrollment increase in the state’s colleges and universities. Currently, there are 60,000 college students in the cities of Eugene, Corvallis and Portland. Microbrews represent 35% of beers sales in the campus communities.

4.1 Market Segmentation

Martin Cove Brewing Company plans to focus on the following market segments:

  • Customers in university campus communities.
  • Professional men and women aged 25 – 35 living in affluent metro communities.

Marketing and promotional activities will be grassroots based, rather than more expensive mass marketing. Martin Cove will reach these people through sponsorship of local entertainment of cultural events, advertising in small niche magazines targeted towards young “fashionable” professionals and sponsorship of activity groups.

Strategy and Implementation Summary

The first step in the expansion plan is to introduce the Martin Cove Brewing Company product line into the selected areas. New sales representatives will be assigned to the Portland tri-county area and the lower Willamette Valley area (Corvallis and Eugene). The retail marketing focus will be on speciality stores that carry regional microbrews. Martin Cove Brewing Company will promote sales by reducing wholesale prices 12% for the first three months of sales.

Martin Cove Brewing Company products will be distributed in the Portland tri-county area by Cascade Distribution. In the lower Willamette Valley area, McKenzie Distribution will carry Martin Cove Brewing Company products.

Martin Cove Brewing Company’s new product, a traditional German Marzen style lager, is unique enough in taste and processing to be attractive to any business that serves beers to customers. The added advantage is that the lager has no competitors. Martin Cove Brewing Company will promote sales by reducing wholesale prices 12% for the first three months of sales.

5.1 Sales Strategy

Martin Cove Brewing Company will apply the same sales strategy that built sales in Medford: remove all obstacles between you and the customer. Once the customer tastes the product, he or she will know the quality and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle of Martin Cove.

Martin Cove Microbrews will be available in bars as well as retail outlets, such as local markets and corner stores. It will also aim to distribute through supermarkets, but it is envisioned that getting shelf space in national supermarkets will be more difficult and more expensive.
