As the bakery manager at the local grocery store, Donald monitored the mix of products most popular with consumers. Just two years earlier, this store sold eight loaves of bread for each package of buns sold. Today, the ratio is closer to six to one, bread to buns. Donald isn't sure why tastes or buying behavior have changed, but it's significant, so his purchasing behavior has changed accordingly.

Ten years ago, Judy Kaplan lost her marketing position due to a merger and was looking for a new job. As she discussed her search with Marty and Angela Curry, they realized she might be the perfect partner for their new business. For the last six years, the Curry’s had made and sold six different flavors of pickled garlic at local festivals. People who tried the product really seemed to like it. They had made the decision to go into the pickled garlic business full-time, but needed about $20,000 more to actually make the final move. Kaplan looked at their business plan and agreed to become a partner in the business. One of the first problems the partnership experienced was over pricing.

The Curry’s wanted to set a low price so that they could acquire loyal customers. In its first year of operation, the company sold 8,000…

Kathy’s Kettle Potato Chips produces gourmet chips distributed to chain sub shops throughout California. To ensure that their chips are of the highest quality and have taste appeal, Kathy has a rigorous inspection process.
