Anheuser-Busch continues to try to woo customers of Bud Light who joined in the boycott to come back. Bud Light has paid a big price for a bad marketing decision and now the brand’s owner wants it to be known that its market share is stabilizing. There is a plan to win back beer drinkers.

Ready? The plan to win back beer drinkers is to stay away from controversial topics. I kid you not. It’s amazing that the parent company, AB InBev, is just now making that announcement. Talk about slow learners.


quote:

The company has accelerated production of new Bud Light ads that are heavy on themes of football and country music. The company told distributors that it would buy back unsold cases of beer that go past their expiration date.

Some consultants say that consumers who have left the brand have no desire to come back to it. They have been insulted and the company refuses to do the one thing that would make amends – apologize and admit it made a mistake. The company can grind out all the light-hearted feel-good ads that tug at our hearts all they want but it’s wasted money until an apology materializes.

They need to get a few of those "horsey rides" that are in front of the grocery stores.

Have they fired that marketing vp yet that started all this? Last I saw she was put on leave, which means she's still pulling in a paycheck from them.

Why do they need the ones they lost back, I thought the CEO said they are just fine due to their global sales?

AB inBEV must create a new brand called SORRY. Dylan Mulvaney can be displayed all over the cans and bottles filled with Sour Milk.

American light lagers are fungible, and the one that any given drinker chooses is just a matter of habit. They lost their base market. it is not returning.

The only thing they could do is apologize and then come out as pro-traditional American values and staunchly anti-trans.

That is literally the only thing they could do.

By staying out of it going forward, they are just confirming that the last controversial issue they got into was pro-trans.

This is no longer a boycott which is indicative of an eventual return to the product. That isn’t going to happen anywhere near pre boycott levels.

Dylan Mulvaney will join the 40% soon

When that happens people will either see the lunacy for what it is or we'll go much deeper down the rabbit hole and you'll see people on the Right jailed for "hate speech"

If bud light started doing dilly dilly commercials again, they’d get a chunk of their business back.

In what way does apologizing for thinking I am scum help make amends. It's not like they no longer think that.

"I am sorry for calling you derogatory names, can you please buy my products again?"

If that cuts it for you, then you are a sad sad individual.

Cool, you still can't walk on my carpet until you clean the shite you did step in off your shoes.
