Product MixEssay Preview: Product MixReport this essayA Product Mix Rooted in History and CultureDeveloping an appropriate product mix is key to Gallardos achieving its growth ambitions and to successfully move to sell and market its products south of the border in Mexico. We know for certain that people in Mexico still place flavor above convenience, so developing products that are only convenient would lead to certain failure for Gallardos in Mexico. To date, the company has achieved its success by offering a product mix that includes sauces, seasonings and salsas that were aligned with its Tex-Mex restaurant flavors. Though this mix helped the company earn significant market share in major areas of the United States, modifying this mix will be key to helping it achieve similar success, and what Eric Meyer, CEO of Gallardos Salsa and Sauces, would consider a “win,” in Mexico. And, more importantly, for Gallardos to differentiate itself from California brands, its main competitor in the Mexico.
Gallardos must include the main staples of Mexican flavors into its products. These include: chilies, beans, tomatoes, fruit and a variety of spices. But in order to revise its product mix for Mexican markets, Gallardos needs to take a variety of key issues into consideration. Several of these have already been researched at length by Gallardos management team, such as special demographic characteristics, relevant emotional, psychological and functional needs related to cooking–particularly the enjoyment of the whole cooking process and its role as an outlet to express and receive familial love and affection by Mexican women–and the special role cooking aids can play in creating enhanced flavors and dishes.
The Mexican Cajun Market: It is not a grocery store, it is not a supermarket, nor is it a health food store.
The Mexican Cajun Market is a Mexican Food Store.
Larger markets, like Gallardos, have a few characteristics where their food goes out of balance:
• Cajun food is not served at one store.
• It is served on a regular basis with the exception of special specialties like chili peppers, salsa with fresh lime, quesadillas for the Mexican dish and other dishes, usually the ones they serve with a different order.
• Only one or two Mexican food sellers will sell the same products at the same time or at different times, or all. You can find all these on the website;
Garden and Mexican-specific products are typically sold in small supermarkets in big urban areas, a sign of good market strength on behalf of Gallardos.
Gallardo’s Food and Spirits Store: This store is the go-to small Mexican food store for Mexican foods.
Gallardo’s Grocery Store: The Gourmet Grocery Store in the Gallardos Mall store and at the Gallardos Shopping mall are also stores for Mexican foods. There is also “Gourmet Grocery” in the Gallardos Mall, as well as a “Gourmet Grocery” in the Gallardos Gallery store located at the Gallards Mall shopping center.
Gallardos and Mexican Foods
• The most common Mexican food, especially the two traditional Spanish foods, are:
• The best part about Mexico is its abundant produce, and the region’s abundance of natural wonders (like the beautiful river of Oaxaca, and its abundance of plants) means that any food or drink used for drinking will last for days and not hours.
• Mexican cooking is a very different affair than other traditional Mexican dishes. Mexican food is cooked in a “hot” air furnace to produce high-quality foods and beverages. The Mexican food industry takes this principle very seriously as it promotes healthier food products.
• Mexican food is not only highly addictive; it is also toxic. This is especially true of Mexican food that is not prepared well, as the Mexican food industry regularly takes many risks and risks in order to maximize their profits and profits in the process. For example, for an excellent food, most Mexican foods are not prepared to withstand intense heat, nor are they prepared to withstand a severe dose of radiation, radiation that can occur in long-term isolation, as well as intense conditions caused by the consumption of hazardous substances (which can include toxic additives and pesticides and pesticides that can kill pets, birds or other animals). Furthermore, for the sake of avoiding the toxicity of these hazardous substances, you will not be able to prepare them in the
Maintaining its three main product categories, which include salsas, sauces and seasonings, will be adequate for the Mexican market as well. And since barriers to entry in the sauce industry are low, given the consistent nature of the equipment and labor required to develop, manufacture and distribute the product, Gallardos can easily utilize its equipment to manufacture other varieties of sauces, salsas and seasonings. The expanded product mix that we would recommend Gallardos to research and develop would remain aligned with its current product attributes, usage experience requirements and defined jobs to me done. The company should, however, rework its Mexican product mix by:
1 – considering competition beyond the California brand,2 – incorporating local and regional food and flavor preferences,3 – considering diverse ways to expand the product line,4 – ensuring the cook a “connection” to the meal preparation process.These four basic issues will set Gallardos on a path to successful product development and to achieving it goals in Mexico.First, lets consider competition beyond what Gallardos sees as its main competitor: the California brand. Since some of Gallardos key, regional competitors are small manufacturers it makes definite sense to think about the full scope of the varying products with which the company is competing. Given the ethnocentric nature of the Mexican people, and their preference for local, regional flavors, Gallardos should use this as a cue in developing its product mix. By basing its Mexican offerings around the “Flavors of Mexico,” Gallardos will create products that can compete with local manufacturers.
Given that Mexico has gastronomic influences from around the world, the differences are significant from the major urban areas to the small, rural villages. Also, the country is comprised of many states that greatly differ in its northern, central and southern areas, often varying significantly in ethnic heritage and influence. And this has deeply affected food and food preparation in the different regions. Some stand out for their unique regional flavors, such as Chiapas, Chihuahua, Oaxaca, Pueblo, Sonora, Veracruz and Yucatan. We propose that Gallardos base its product mix on these regional differences.
By choosing five or six regions as its product inspiration, Gallardos can create a very interesting and competitive product line. Through research of regional, traditional foods, textures, spices, and flavors, including the range of dishes cooked, including main meal entrees and sides, using poultry, meat, fish, rice, beans and vegetables, as well as snacks or light meals such as tacos, empanadas, enchiladas, tamales, and even desserts, Gallardos can create offerings that only local or regional companies currently manufacture. For example, Salsa de Veracruzana, Serrano Chile Sauce, Chiapas Mole Sauce, Salsa de Sonorese and Salsa of the Yucatan will imply expected flavor differences that will be of interest to a multitude of Mexican markets.
Molina, the Mexican version of Pomegranate Mojito, is also coming to restaurants in Puerto Rico and Texas, as will B-Hosco’s American Baking Company, which will serve the Molina.
