Additional marketing investment would pursue higher brand penetration of Utah and surrounding core markets. Why This Will Work: • Can variety packs are the fastest growing SKUs in UT grocery (we have 1 rotating SKU); bottle velocity continues to decline; also a consistent request from wholesaler partners • Large format opportunities will continue to come up, especially around venues and tourism destinations (we have no consistent answer) • Increased marketing spend gets wholesaler attention, aids in securing placement opportunities with retailers, and has long-term brand-building benefits Range: • Full sales territory Investments Required: • Packaging capability for automated variety packs • Can line flexibility (size and format) • R&D equipment • Marketing investment Degree of Impact Immediacy High Short-Term Attractiveness Strength or Development?
