​​How do Bud Light seltzers compete in the ever-growing market of hard seltzers

Image
   Since the release of White Claw in 2016, hard seltzers have proven to be a popular alternative to other alcoholic beverages like beers or ciders. The growth of this industry was so rapid that in 2020 the hard seltzer market was valued at over $1.8 billion, and is projected to reach $2.43 billion by 2021. As a result, the company Anheuser-Busch, owner of Bud Light, decided to implement a new product in an attempt to enter this market. The launch of Bud light seltzers featured four distinct flavors with strawberry, lemon-lime, cherry, and mango, where each can contains 5% alcohol, 100 calories, 2g of carbs, and less than 1g of sugar.

Introduction Post

Hello Everyone!      My name is Ezdeen Melhem and I'm a sophomore enrolled at OSU and LBCC as a DPP student.  I currently live on campus here at OSU in Corvallis, but I'm originally from Portland. C urrently, I'm majoring in Business Administration since I'm not yet 100% set on anything yet, however, I have a couple majors in mind I feel I could see myself enjoying.  I opted to enroll in this course as marketing is one of the two majors I've considered declaring, alongside business analytics. By far the most important thing I hope to gain out of this class is the knowledge of if this could be something I see myself doing and possibly finding a career in. I took marketing classes in high school and even worked for our student store created by our ABP program (advanced business procedures). Outside of school/work, I enjoy playing basketball, hanging out with my friends, relaxing, traveling, and generally being outside.
