Wiśniewska** A Strong Brand as a Determinant of Purchase the Case of Sectors, where Advertising in Mass Media Is Banned – on the Example of the Polish Spirits Sector 1. Introduction In order to achieve success a company must continually search for develop- ment opportunities, respond to change with new or improved products, tech- nologies, and marketing activities to achieve a competitive advantage over other participants on the market [3, 170]. Marketing departments compete to find innovative products as well as in- teresting means and channels of communication to gain and retain clients. The clients’ contentment and satisfaction lead to repeat purchase and even recom- mendations, which in turn is an affirmation of the company’s right of existence. Regular purchase loyalty contributes to an increase in market share, while positive attitudes accompanying loyalty allow companies to raise prices [2, 82]. Eventually all the above result in the company’s profit. A powerful tool combining rationally evaluated functional values based on results and facts with emotional values which are subject to affective evaluation is a strong brand [5, 20]. A brand gives identity to a product defined in the last cen- tury by Ph. Kotler as anything offered to potential buyers to satisfy their needs or desires. A brand also distinguishes the product from its competitors. A brand helps avoid using prices as an instrument of competition, this usually means a decrease in company sales if its competitors offer a similar price.

  • Sprawozdanie Zarządu Z Działalności Spółki Za Rok 2005 R
    Sprawozdanie Zarządu z działalności Spółki za rok 2005 r. Sprawozdanie Zarządu z działalności Spółki za rok 2005 1. Wstęp W roku 2005 miały miejsce bardzo istotne wydarzenia wpływające na niemal wszystkie dziedziny funkcjonowania Spółki. Niewątpliwie najistotniejsze znaczenie miały zmiany właścicielskie związane z rozpoczęciem notowań Spółki na GPW w Warszawie S.A., a przede wszystkim z wyborem Spółki CEDC na inwestora strategicznego przez Ministra Skarbu Państwa. Zarówno zdarzenia te, jak i będące ich konsekwencją zmiany w składzie Zarządu i Rady Nadzorczej nie wpłynęły negatywnie na działalność Spółki. Mimo wielu istotnych wydarzeń związanych bezpośrednio ze Spółką priorytetem działań Zarządu w 2005 roku była dbałość o kondycję finansową Spółki, co zostało osiągnięte poprzez wysoką sprzedaż wyrobów dzięki prowadzonej prorynkowej aktywności, dostosowywaniu warunków handlowych do potrzeb rynku, realizowaniu własnej korzystnej strategii asortymentowej oraz konsekwentnie prowadzonej polityce w zakresie sprzedaży, marketingu oraz poprawnym relacjom z odbiorcami. Istotne znaczenie dla osiągnięcia postawionych przez Zarząd celów finansowych miały również decyzje związane z dążeniem do optymalnego wykorzystania posiadanych ludzkich, rzeczowych i finansowych zasobów Spółki oraz prowadzenie racjonalnej polityki w obszarze kosztów. W efekcie, w 2005 roku Spółka osiągnęła rekordowo wysoki wynik netto na poziomie 70.144,91 tys. zł, z dynamiką 107,2% w stosunku do 2004 roku. Możemy więc stwierdzić, że rok 2005 był szczególnie udany dla Spółki, pomimo pogorszenia warunków działalności rynkowej wypływających z faktu wzrostu od początku 2005 r. stawki podatku akcyzowego na wyroby spirytusowe. Trafnie dobrana strategia działania i użyte instrumenty handlowe nie tylko zapobiegły istotnemu spadkowi ilości sprzedaży, ale pozwoliły zachować doskonałą kondycję finansową i osiągnąć dobry poziom wskaźników rentowności, co z kolei przyczyniło się do wypracowywanie zysków na satysfakcjonującym poziomie.

  • Millionaires' Club
    THE DEFINITIVE RANKING OF THE WORLD'S MILLION-CASE SPIRITS BRANDS 2014 TPSSPVUHPYLThe Z» The TPSSPVUHPYLZ» JUNE 2014 DRINKSINT.COM 3 GRAND DESIGNS t was once a case of the worldly and the parochial – the global brands and the local brands. But what happens when local goes international, when low- value operators premiumise? In The Millionaires’ IClub 2014, we have learned of such grand plans. Take our immovable champion, Jinro. Far from content with 66.5m case sales concentrated in South Korea and nearby Japan, Hite-Jinro has set about achieving 100m cases in the next 10 years, by seeding the brand in the 11 world markets with a population of more than 100m. That includes the US – a market now inhabited by Philippine rum Tanduay and the world’s latest largest whisky brand, Officer’s Choice, which has entered New York. In the west there is a tendency to think the flow of globalisation only works in one direction, from traditional to emerging markets. But the growth obsession is an instinct of business, not the preserve of the elite. Spirits companies propagated in volatile emerging markets are all too aware that a one-market policy can build volumes but not a secure future. Market plurality is the best way to mitigate exposure. Johnnie Walker is the exemplar. With Asia ailing in 2013, the brand’s worldwide distribution kept sales walking in the right direction. Of course, emerging brands will have to climb the premium ladder quickly if they are to take on Johnnie contents Walker’s ilk in the likes of the US and western Europe.

  • THE DEFINITIVE RANKING of the WORLD's MILLION-CASE SPIRITS BRANDS 2014 Tpsspvuhpylthe Z» the TPSSPVUHPYLZ» JUNE 2014 DRINKSINT.COM 3
    THE DEFINITIVE RANKING OF THE WORLD'S MILLION-CASE SPIRITS BRANDS 2014 TPSSPVUHPYLThe Z» The TPSSPVUHPYLZ» JUNE 2014 DRINKSINT.COM 3 GRAND DESIGNS t was once a case of the worldly and the parochial – the global brands and the local brands. But what happens when local goes international, when low- value operators premiumise? In The Millionaires’ IClub 2014, we have learned of such grand plans. Take our immovable champion, Jinro. Far from content with 66.5m case sales concentrated in South Korea and nearby Japan, Hite-Jinro has set about achieving 100m cases in the next 10 years, by seeding the brand in the 11 world markets with a population of more than 100m. That includes the US – a market now inhabited by Philippine rum Tanduay and the world’s latest largest whisky brand, Officer’s Choice, which has entered New York. In the west there is a tendency to think the flow of globalisation only works in one direction, from traditional to emerging markets. But the growth obsession is an instinct of business, not the preserve of the elite. Spirits companies propagated in volatile emerging markets are all too aware that a one-market policy can build volumes but not a secure future. Market plurality is the best way to mitigate exposure. Johnnie Walker is the exemplar. With Asia ailing in 2013, the brand’s worldwide distribution kept sales walking in the right direction. Of course, emerging brands will have to climb the premium ladder quickly if they are to take on Johnnie contents Walker’s ilk in the likes of the US and western Europe.

KENNELLY, District Judge: V & S Vin & Sprit Aktiebolag (“V & S”), the Swedish company that makes Absolut vodka, sued a Polish competitor, Przedsiebiorstwo Polmos Bialystok S.A. (“PPB”), and its Chicago-area distributor, Cracovia Brands, Inc. In an eight count complaint, V & S claimed that PPB and Cracovia infringed upon its Absolut trademark by manufacturing and marketing Absolwent vodka. V & S settled with Cracovia, and this Court entered a final judgment as to the claims against Cracovia on April 26, 2002. V & S has moved for summary judgment against PPB on two counts of its complaint, alleging trademark infringement and false designation of origin and unfair competition in violation of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114 and 1125(a). For the reasons stated below, the Court denies V & S’s motion for summary judgment. Analysis As the Seventh Circuit has noted, “[t]he ‘keystone’ of trademark infringement is ‘likelihood of 1 confusion’ as to source, affiliation, connection or sponsorship of goods or services among the relevant class of customers and potential customers.” Sands, Taylor & Wood Co. v. Quaker Oats Co., 978 F.2d 947, 957 (7th Cir. 1992) (citation omitted). Whether a likelihood of confusion exists among consumers is a question of fact. CAE, Inc., v.
