Lime-A-Rita, a product line by Anheuser-Busch, was first launched in April 2012. Anheuser-Busch brews more than 100 brands in the U.S., and with the help of flagship brands, Bud Light, Budweiser and Michelob Ultra, they hold a 45.8 percent share of the beer market (“Anheuser-Busch,” 2017). Lime-A-Rita is the brand's take on a traditional margarita, the drink can be enjoyed from the can, or served over ice (Bud Light Lime Lime-a-Rita, 2012). The Lime-A-Rita brand became the second-best selling new product launch that year, with Straw-Ber-Rita becoming the largest share gainer in the beer industry in 2013 (PR Newswire, 2017).

Anheuser-Busch is a huge company and contacts are made to prevent any channel conflicts from occurring. Mike Esterl, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, stated that in, “Last November, Anheuser also told more than 500 wholesalers who distribute its products across the U.S. that it wants them to sell fewer rival brews. The company warned that wholesalers who aren't tightly ‘aligned' with Anheuser might be prevented from acquiring other wholesalers through equity agreements, a type of business contract, that Anheuser holds with the wholesalers,” (Esterl). It doesn’t seem likely that Anheuser-Busch will run into any huge channel conflicts. According to the above statement, it seems as if Anheuser-Busch usually has the upper hand in their contracts with channel …show more content…
They agreed that it would be more profitable if they kept the same prices than to be in competition with each other (Kendall and Kell, 2013). Due to Lime-A-Rita being a new type of product on the market, Anheuser-Busch had to base their pricing on their main competitor. On the Lime-A-Rita website, a 12-pack of 8 oz. cans is $15.59. Lime-A-Rita is also offered in 25 oz. cans, with prices ranging from $2.99 to $3.69. The Lime-A-Rita website allows a customer to enter their address to find the best price, with the fastest delivery (Lime-A-Rita).
Product Line Pricing Ever since Lime-A-Rita was brought to the market in 2012, there has been new flavors introduced. By 2016, Anheuser-Busch introduced Splash by Lime-A-Rita. With Splash being sold in glass bottles instead of cans, the pricing is different. Splash by Lime-A-Rita comes in a 6-pack of 12 oz. bottles, with the price ranging from $6.99 to $14.99. With there now being an entirely new product after four years of launching Lime-A-Rita, consumers will now have an option to purchase Lime-A-Rita or Splash by Lime-A-Rita. This causes the market share for Lime-A-Rita to decrease. In order for Lime-A-Rita to minimize cannibalism, there are more flavors being introduced to attract more

Well, there are quite a few. Some dispensaries have chosen to keep their prices lower than some other dispensaries. One example is the Wellness Institute of Maryland. The dispensary has decided that the price for an ounce of marijuana would range from four hundred forty dollars to five hundred twenty dollars. While the prices still seem to be pretty high, Charlie Mattingly, who runs Southern Maryland Relief Dispensary, has stated that his prices will start at four-hundred dollars an ounce.
Because tampons are a necessity, the prices between different brands and product lines don’t vary all that much. But Tampax is a name brand, so their products are more expensive than the generic store brand. Out of the three stores that I went to (Target, Wal-Mart, Walgreens), Wal-Mart was generally the cheapest option between the three. A box of 36 tampons cost $6.97, or 19.4 cents each at Wal-Mart. At Target, a box of 36 tampons cost 19.42 cents or $6.99 a box, and at Walgreens a box of 36 cost $8.29 or .23 cents each.

It is not considered to be up to par with traditional ultra-premium tequilas. Many adults consider Patron to be just an average tequila with great marketing. A 750ml bottle of Patron Silver retails for $53.99. This is on the expensive end for tequila considering that Patron brands itself as a premium product. However, if experienced tequila drinkers do not believe it is up to par, they are likely to purchase a bottle of Don Julio which was the number one selling tequila last year at a comparable price of $58.99 per 750ml
