Final Project: Marketing Mix - Price
"A firm can set prices to attract new customers or to profitably retain existing ones. It can set prices low to prevent competition from entering the market or set prices at competitors’ levels to stabilize the market." - Marketing: An Introduction; Armstrong/Kotler pg. 18
Since our our bottles' appearance and experience last longer than the actual vodka itself, consumers can expect to pay $94.99 for the finest forty-four ounces of vodka one can buy.

The delicious vodka is meant to be enjoyed and celebrated together by everyone at the gathering who is looking for that little excitement with a hint of danger in their lives. You only live once and only get so little time, so why not go out with a bang"?
