Changing buying habits in the grocery business is extremely
difficult. Consumers tend to be loyal to the brands they have
always bought, often simply because they have always bought them.
These well known "megabrands" are able to continue their dominance,
not only because consumers are loyal, but they have also helped in
establishing the manner in which a product is brought to market.
These "rules of engagement," while a great expense for the large
brands, really help them in shutting out competition before they
even begin. Startup companies face such challenges as: the need to
spend hundreds of thousands, if not millions, on advertising,
product placement in the stores and even "slotting fees" to get
into the warehouses supplying the stores. Small Brand America tells
the stories of tiny companies, and the individuals behind them,
competing in the grocery industry. Despite the odds stacked against
them, companies like the ones featured in Small Brand America take
on the megabrands and try to go beyond simply carving a niche in
the market; they are attempting to break the stranglehold the
larger companies have on the stores and buying consumers to become
a household name in their own right. The book walks you through the
stories of companies and individuals that have figured a way to
establish success via hard work, creativity and perhaps a little
luck. The end result is the fascinating, and often surprising,
stories of these unique companies. The following companies are

Life with the Akester takes you through the journey of a son when
he loses his beloved father (Larry "Akester" Akley) very
unexpectedly to a heart attack. Author Steve Akley takes us through
the darkest emotions following this family tragedy and how he
begins the healing process of grief in an unexpected way. The book
is broken in to two distinct parts. The first part walks the reader
through the process Steve went through told via first-person
narrative. The reader sees the perspective of Steve who begins to
establish his "new normal," as he states, via a series of
happenstance events in his life. The second part of the book Steve
savors the good times with his father by sharing some of the truly
funny moments from his life. It was an ongoing family source of
non-stop laughs to reiterate the unbelievable capers Steve's father
got himself in. Whether it was bathroom humor, public humiliation
or a completely head-scratching decision, the Akester always kept
his family and friends in stitches with his hijinks. Prepare
yourself to laugh out loud as you read the unique moments only the
Akester could have gotten himself into The end result is a loving
tribute to a father by a son who can't have another moment with his
father, but can relish his life by sharing his story.
Small Brand America tells the stories of tiny companies, and the
individuals behind them, competing in the grocery industry. Despite
the odds stacked against them, companies like the ones featured in
Small Brand America take on the large, nationally known
"megabrands" and try to go beyond simply carving a niche in the
market; they are attempting to break the stranglehold the larger
companies have on the stores and buying consumers to become a
household name in their own right. Small Brand America The Cookbook
features recipes from the companies profiled in the original book.
The idea for a cookbook came from a bonus section author Steve
Akley had planned in Small Brand America. Noticing that many
smaller companies were utilizing recipes as a way to connect to
consumers, Steve began asking the individuals he was interviewing
for his book to send him some recipes. Soon the volume of recipes
had equaled the size-and-scope of his original book. Not wanting to
have a "bonus section" as big as the stories in his original book,
he quickly realized he needed to create a second book. Released
together, Small Brand America and Small Brand America The Cookbook
are companion pieces but can be enjoyed mutually exclusive of each
other. The following companies share their recipes in Small Brand
America The Cookbook: Alaskan Brewing Company - alaskanbeer.com
Anderson's Maple Syrup - andersonmaplesyrup.com Atlanta Honey

jangled, your yule is cool and your snowman is frosty this
