Mango Mania Display Contest Dazzles U.S. Grocery Stores PRESS RELEASE Orlando, Fla – The results are in for the National Mango Board’s (NMB) eighth annual Mango Mania Display Contest. Participating retailers –big and small, built beautiful and impressive displays that delighted and educated consumers in grocery stores nationwide. Over $8,000 in incentives were awarded to the winning stores. Every store was a winner of a $15 digital gift card just by entering the contest. Plus, stores that included Tajín in their displays received a second $15 digital gift card. These incentives created great buzz throughout produce departments across the country. Stores were encouraged to use NMB’s point-of-sale (POS) materials that showcased selection, cutting, and nutrition messages to educate shoppers; as well as use their own creativity and props into the catchy displays. The NMB received 135 eligible entries, which were judged based on creativity of the display, visual appeal, and effectiveness in educating customers about mangos. “It is always amazing to see how the mango love is spread through all the grocery stores that participated in the contest,” stated Valda Coryat, Director of Marketing at the NMB. “The competition was fierce! But it certainly showed us that retailers are excited to promote mangos.

All program activities reinforce the power of the Alaska Brand and engage both the consumer and the retailer. Platform #1: Alignment with the Consumer Advertising/PR Program to Increase Awareness and Preference for Alaska Seafood A. Consumer Shows/Events: Sampling at select events reinforces key messages from the consumer advertising/PR program and exposes more people to the Alaska seafood brand. The number of retail-funded consumer shows was reduced in FY2014 due to an effort to locate new shows/venues and to allow for an expanded presence at key events such as the Aspen and Austin Food & Wine festivals. Retail-funded events: . The Sun Winefest at Mohegan Sun, CT: 1/25/2014 – 1/26/2014 Alaska Cod Buffalo-Style Quesadillas and Alaska Canned Salmon Chipotle Dip were sampled to 9,000 attendees. # of samples = 4,000 .

  • Final CFFA Merchandiser Report Southeast Ken Meyer
    Season recap Final CFFA Merchandiser Report Southeast Ken Meyer Executive Summary This was my first season with CFFA and it was full of ups and downs. Weather problems, shipping problems, dock strikes; all made retailers on edge during the season. Some retailers reported to me that it was one of the worst years in recent memory. Many complained that they could not get to the price point that they needed to have to move good volumes of fruit. This resulted in a number of cancelled promotions. Kroger Memphis, Kroger Atlanta, Harris Teeter, Winn- Dixie/BI-LO, Merchants Distributing, Ingles, and Belle Foods all decided not to run promotions that they had previously committed to. The reasons given were inconsistent supplies and quality. On the other hand Hitchcock’s of Florida, Houchen’s of Kentucky, Piggly Wiggly of South Carolina, and the Defense Commissary Agency ran display contests…some of them for the first time ever. And results were very positive. Retail tags for our TV ads went out to Tampa and Jacksonville Florida, Nashville, Tennessee, and Charlotte, North Carolina. We separated timing of the commercials in Jacksonville and Tampa markets. Publix asked us for a separate commercial from the normal TV ad and so both Tampa and Jacksonville got one ad for Publix and Winn Dixie got the other ad. Harris Teeter got the tag line in Charlotte, with Food Lion turning it down. Thousands of points of sales materials were sent to retailers throughout the Southwest. Many of retailers commented that they had never seen this material before and really liked the colorful displays they could make from our POS.

  • 2 Sisters' Salsa Hits the Shelves in Albertson's, Tom Thumb & Randalls Stores
    2 Sisters' Salsa hits the shelves in Albertson's, Tom Thumb & Randalls Stores 2 Sisters' Salsa is proud to announce that it recently made its way onto the shelves of over 150 new stores. Albertsons Southern division which includes Randalls, Tom Thumb and Albertsons banners will now carry 3 of its salsa flavors; Jalapeño, Fiesta and Original. The products will be distributed through the KeHe warehouse. The salsa company, which started in 2015, already has a place on the shelves in a host of several large supermarkets and boutique grocery stores across the country. Most recently, they are adding a variety of heavy-hitting chains to their distribution list – Walmart, Winn Dixie, Brookshire Brothers, United Supermarkets, Super 1 Foods, Food Depot and Rouses Markets to name a few. The company was designed with these type of large-scale expansions in mind. In fact, it was built for them, literally. “The facility where we produce our product was built for the present and the future,” explains CEO/President Patrick Deshotels. “We can meet current demand, but we can also expand further in the years to come.” 2 Sisters’ Salsa takes everyone’s favorite snack and elevates it with the addition of a savory blend of Cajun spices. The salsa, available in Original, Fiesta, Jalapeno, Honey and now new Verde, was handcrafted in the heart of Louisiana from authentic Cajun recipes. To find out where 2 Sisters’ Salsa is carried nearest you and to hear the story of how a bumper crop of tomatoes and a love for Cajun cooking led to an industrial operation, visit www.2sisterssalsa.com.

  • Rouses Continues Southern Expansion with Experience-Focused Store
    Rouses continues Southern expansion with experience-focused store fooddive.com/news/grocery--rouses-continues-southern-expansion-with- experience-focused-store/522038 Jeff Wells Dive Brief: • Rouses Markets will open an experience-focused store in western Mobile, Alabama this week, according to The Shelby Report. This will be the chain’s fifth store in the Mobile area since it entered the market in 2013. • The new store will include a barbecue station with house-smoked meats, a Mongolian Grill, meal kits and a culinary center that will host classes, wine tastings and other events. The store also features a K-cup station that lets shoppers select from various flavors and build their own 24 pack. • Rouses, based in Thibodeaux, Louisiana, plans to keep growing in Alabama, CEO Donny Rouse has told various news outlets. In addition to its Mobile stores, the company operates a store in Gulf Shores and will open a location in Orange Beach later this year that it took over from Winn-Dixie. Dive Insight: Rouses new store is a reminder that an experience-focused approach is the way forward for supermarkets. With shoppers’ tastes evolving and competition from online sellers like Amazon increasing, stores have to give shoppers a reason to visit beyond the perfunctory weekly stock-up shop. As The Hartman Group put it in a recent report, “There may be one barrier insurmountable to online food retailing: the emotional connection to in-store shopping.” The consulting firm also referred to grocery shopping as an “act of love” for many consumers. Offering a first-class experience isn’t anything new for Rouses.
