Cost position of the company. The unit cost stated for the products of Emperador’s
Brandy may not be accurate but will serve as an estimate due to the lack of information
and heavy reliance on the computation of the researchers provided that they have only
used insufficient data to arrive at such estimation of the unit cost. There is also a lack of
availability of information upon the company’s competitors on the data of their financial
statements which is why there would be an absence on the comparison of cost position
of the company. Thus, the researchers decided to use the selling price of the product
offerings to be the point of reference in the basis of determining the cost position of the
company.
Abstract:
Emperador Brandy Corporation is the first brandy label in the Philippines and World's
largest brandy by volume of sales. It provides alcoholic beverages with varying levels of
alcohol content and flavor added that targets both younger male consumers at the age
of 18 and above. With its target market that are located on suburban, urban and rural
areas, the affordable price that they offer, place of distribution on leading supermarkets,
sari-sari stores, convenient stores, hotel and motels and diverse use of platforms for
promotions about successful people that drink their products are oriented and designed
to grab the attention of the stated target market. The company has its product offering
sold in the Philippines and also in 40 countries on Asia,Middle east and Latin America.
Due to its expansion and marketing strategy, it became a leading market in the brandy
industry and subsequently, it made its market size to be very broad. As its development
expanded globally, its market share increased and there is also a maintanenance on the
reputation, operations and quality of the market
In terms of price, they are made to be affordable compared to other brands such
as Fundador and Alfonso which focuses on younger consumers since their
demographics are assumed to have no independent source of income and this is also
the attribute that differentiates their products compared to the luxurious and expensive
brandy that are found in the market. In relation to that, their product unit cost is
approximately about 110.39 pesos derived from their cost of sales in 2019 amounting to
33229.78 million pesos divided 301.2 million bottles sold (Conway, 2020). Comparing it
with its selling price, it can be considered to be rather high because their lowest product
offering has a suggested retail price of 107 pesos.
They also have high accessibility to the stated target market due to its
abundance on leading supermarkets, convenient store, sari-sari stores.and other
accessible shops in suburban, urban and rural areas.
Its promotion are shown on different mediums that can grab the attention of its
target consumers such as trimedia, social media, and traditional media. With the
contents of its promotions, the image that they portray on their brand opposes the
traditional impression when we think of a person who drinks alcoholic beverages which
is assumed to be an unemployed and abusive drunkard. The people featured in the
advertisements were always dressed well, wearing coats and suits. The brand depicts
the idea of a luxury drink rather than a conventional one for its products. They often
show in their advertisements that there is an association between their products and
value of success in life, ambition, hard work, and family-orientedness. It showcase that
brandy is not only for older drinkers but also for the young, vibrant and aspirational
ones.
