Source: Salty Snacks – US – January 2015 Mintel Report Simmons 6-Month Study 13 Direct Merchandising Recommendations

• Implement a support pallet in action alley that splits halfway with either beer (Bud Ice) or soda (depending on state restrictions) – Place pallet adjacent to bakery/bread items because Cracker Jack consumer buys all of these products in one trip • Implement a sidecap in the powdered beverage aisle where cross-merchandising is possible • Reassess distribution of top-selling SKU’s

Norwalk, CT store:

14 How To Grow Dollar Sales & Share

• Implement the use of Price Pack Architecture – Innovate packaging to increase consumer awareness and willingness to buy – Cracker Jack is already innovating packaging to convey patriotism and stand out in-aisle • Use 12 smaller portion-controlled, to-go bags in a larger bulk, “family size” bag – Price it at $3.99 (Smartfood is at $3.98) • Positions Cracker Jack as premium brand • Gives consumers exactly what they want • If low prices were effective, they’d be working • EDLP model takes advantage of consumer naivety • Weber’s Law • “Power of number 9” • With increase in incremental dollar, an opportunity exists to build an emotional consumer connection with a new generation of shoppers – Social Media opportunities – Better advertising – The most efficient way to grow business

FIGURE 5: REASONS FOR BUYING SALTY SNACKS, OCTOBER 2014 “For which of the following reasons do you buy salty snacks, including popcorn, pretzels, and cheese-flavored snacks?”

25 Better-For-You And Indulgence

Issue: What impact do health concerns have?

Insight: Health is top of mind for consumers, but so is indulgence

Despite concerns about the ingredients and nutritional content of salty snacks, 76% agree there are more healthier options than there used to be.

While BFY snack options (including those with low fat, low sodium, or no artificial ingredients) are important to many consumers, consumers are also driven by taste and want to indulge occasionally. Manufacturers should balance their offerings between health and indulgence to meet consumers’ wide variety of product preferences.

26 • Food and Health: While 7 in 10 Americans are making some changes in order to live healthier, 67 percent are skeptical of the health claims they see on products. Although health is important, 63 percent agree that indulgent foods that are not all that healthy are sometimes worth it anyway • Permissive indulgence. Consumers are hard-wired to indulge; they are also hard wired to feel guilty about indulging. Now there is a solution to that conundrum. Adding healthful, “better for you” iconic health ingredients to indulgent foods is a new trend that is gaining momentum
