SUMMARY
James Ready is in the discount beer market, a highly competitive segment that's 40% of total beer sales in Ontario with over 40 different brands. So how could James Ready stand out during these tough economic times? To help their drinkers, and more specifically, poor university students, JR created the Campus Bar-Ter Night. Students were encouraged to spend their money on JR beer, collect the caps and trade them in for stuff they really needed. The program yielded a sales increase of 8.51% and market share growth of 31.01%.
