Another first Tuesday of the month, time for another Oasis Run. This time we gathered at the Macas in Kings Park, for a trip to the Lindt Chocolate Factory Outlet not far away. As usual there was a very friendly meeting of old friends, of course with some new faces. Coffees and some eats were consumed most, if not all, before we left for the Lindt Factory. As usual, the convenor of the outing, Les Watton had provided us all with a slip of paper containing the directions This made the relatively short journey easy and we all arrived in the designated parking area within a few minutes of each other. The eighty odd members of the club were ushered into the shop, where we were given a couple of samples of a new product, mango balls. We were then free to wander through the shop to choose whatever took our fancy. The costs of everything was at least 25% off recommended retail price, and one range was 75% off! Of course, we made much use of these prices and left with a great amount of booty. Les had previously warned us to take a cooler bag so that the chocolates did not come to harm in our hot cars while we were travelling or having lunch. From the shop we retraced some of the road along which we had travelled an hour or so earlier, to the Plumpton Hotel for lunch. Les had made a booking for 40 or so people, and 81 actually turned up! This large number had the staff working hard to cope, especially as there was at least one person off sick. But nevertheless, we did enjoy ourselves. As usual, when we had finished our meals, the party slowly broke up and we went on our own way, home. We are indebted to another Oasis participant, Andrew Yeend, who took the photos. Our camera’s battery was flat as soon as I tried to use it.

All photos by Andrew Yeend Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG, more commonly known as Lindt, is a Swiss chocolatier and confectionery company founded in 1845 and known for their chocolate truffles and chocolate bars, among other sweets. The origins of the company date back to 1836, when David Sprüngli-Schwarz and his son Rudolf Sprüngli-Ammann bought a small confectionery shop in the old town of Zürich, producing chocolates under the name David Sprüngli & Son. Two years later, a small factory was added that produced chocolate in solid form. In 1845 they moved to the Pa- radeplatz. With the retirement of Rudolf Sprüngli-Ammann in 1892, the business was divided between his two sons. The younger brother David Robert received two confectionery stores that became known under the name Confiserie Sprüngli. The elder brother Johann Rudolf received the chocolate factory. To raise the necessary finance for his expansion plans, Jo- hann Rudolf converted in 1899 his private company into "Chocolat Sprüngli AG". In that same year, he acquired the chocolate factory of Rodolphe Lindt in Bern and the company changed its name to Aktiengesellschaft Vereinigte Berner und Züricher Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli (United Bern and Zurich Lindt & Sprungli Chocolate Factory Ltd.). In 1994, Lindt & Sprüngli acquired the Austrian chocolatier, Hofbauer Österreich, and integrated it, along with its Küfferle brand, into the company. In 1997 and 1998, respectively, the company acquired the Italian chocolatier Caf- farel and the American chocolatier Ghirardelli and integrated both of them into the company as wholly owned subsidi- aries. Since then, Lindt & Sprüngli has expanded the once-regional Ghirardelli to the international market. On 17 March 2009 Lindt announced the closure of 50 of its 80 retail boutiques in the United States because of weaker demand in the wake of the late-2000s recession After Lindt recorded net profits of 4.7 million in the 2011 calendar year, the marketing team stated that its market share amounted to 29%, surpassing its previous years. On 14 July 2014, Lindt bought Russell Stover Candies, maker of Whit- man's Chocolate, for about $1.5 billion, the company's largest acquisition to date. Lindt & Sprüngli has six factories in the following locations: Kilchberg, Switzerland; Aachen, Germany; Oloron-Sainte- Marie, France; Induno Olona, Italy; Gloggnitz, Austria; and Stratham, New Hampshire in the United States. The facto- ry in Gloggnitz, Austria manufactures products under the Hofbauer and Küfferle brand in addition to the Lindt brand. Caffarel's factory is located in Luserna San Giovanni, Italy and Ghirardelli's factory is located in San Leandro, Califor- nia in the United States.Lindt has opened eight chocolate cafés in Australia, four in Sydney and four in Melbourne.

  • Branding of Business
    Updated 8th July 2004 Geoff Stuart The Branding of Business Tracing the extraordinary history of the World’s Greatest Entrepreneurs, Companies, Corporations and Brands. INTRODUCTION Michael, my son started pointing out the window as we were driving and saying “ ee ai, ee ai”, and repeating the sounds. He was less than a year old. At first I couldn’t work it out. “ Ee ai”, what was that? There he was sitting in the back seat of the car in his baby seat, saying “ ee ai”, not “Dad”, “Daddy”, “Da, Da ”, or even “Mummy”! It wasn’t just a gurgle, it was a definite word and he was pointing! And then I got it! There was a McDonalds sign, and he was pointing right at it! He had connected the Nursery Rhyme “Old McDonald had a Farm, ee ai, ee ai, oh “ to McDonalds Restaurants! His very first word was McDonalds, all be it said in Baby talk! Luckily his vocabulary has expanded a lot since then, but his very first word was a brand! As a father I felt cheated that he was saying “McDonalds” before I got a mention, but as a Marketing person, I took it as a sign that brands could have enormous cut through, not just as words but as images as well. So, what was it that made him connect to “McDonalds”? Was it the ads on TV, the Golden Arches, Ronald McDonald or McDonalds colours or combinations of all of these or simply the connection with the word McDonalds from the Nursery Rhyme? Whatever it was, the brand image was very powerful.

The epitome of this practice is Lucky Models, that has gone so far as to offer our Subscriber Edition for ten dollars less than us. In spite of that, I am sure that we sent none of these kits to this distributor, although a list of retailers purchased the kit during the offer (at full price). The purpose of this conduct escapes me, but I’m tempted to think it is a diversion of some sort.
