Low-calorie beer: New brews rack up sales gains
Chicago Tribune
Lite’s problems are manifold. The sour economy has hurt it more than some other beers because it’s more reliant on restaurant and bar sales than the retail grocery channel. A price hike last year stung Lite sales too and some beer industry watchers say Lite’s marketing message has been muddled. But competition from MGD 64 is a factor too they say. “I think the cannibalization rates are higher than [MillerCoors] would like — absolutely” said Benj Steinman editor of Beer Marketer’s Insights an industry publication. While MGD 64 has “added a lot of incremental value this year for Miller” its success so far is less than “clear-cut” because of the cannibalization issue Steinman said. Harry Schumacher publisher of the trade publication Beer Business Daily said there’s still skepticism in the beer industry about whether very-low-calorie beer might be a fad but he doesn’t think that’s the case and that MGD 64 has ushered in a new and lasting market.
Eager to answer questions Usana brings in interviewer Larry King
Salt Lake Tribune
After cracking a joke about his Utah connections — “I married a Mormon girl and have paid for it ever since” — King did what he does best: Asks questions. His answer man was no pushover especially with this crowd. Tim Sales whose “Brilliant Compensation” video has informed more than 1 million people about network marketing received an ovation even louder than King’s. Before their on-stage connection King and Sales had met with members of the news media to talk about Usana’s objectives in creating the interview scenario an idea that arose after the two men talked a few months back and King said he became fascinated with the difference between legitimate multilevel marketing and Ponzi schemes. It was a subject he knew all too well having been a victim of convicted scam artist Bernard Madoff. “That was the Ponzi scheme of all Ponzi schemes” King said. Advertisement yld_mgr.
