Bring on the Cheer!
Holiday traditions begin with Moovers Eggnog.
Get ready for a new twist on an old tradition. Summer memories have barely had time to fade, but Orrville, Ohio-based Smith Dairy already is set to launch a new flavor of eggnog for the upcoming holiday season.
Moovers® English Toffee Eggnog is a combination of premium eggnog enhanced with a buttery toffee flavoring. “We have had great success with our seasonal eggnog products over the past five years,” says Bill McCabe, vice president of marketing. “We wanted to develop a unique flavor that would complement our existing line and generate incremental sales.”
Trends indicate that eggnog sales are on the rise. Nationally, the percent change in per capita sales of eggnog has increased since 2000, as reported in IDFA Milk Facts 2003. The compound annual growth rate over the past four years is 7.61 percent.
The package design for English Toffee Eggnog features a colorful illustration of a friendly snowman, complete with carrot nose and decked out in holiday attire. The label on the 30-ounce package also provides room for a recipe for eggnog muffins as well as other eggnog uses for holiday festivities.
“Seasonal packaging and products like eggnog spark retail sales,” says McCabe. “Our seasonal Santa and Mrs. Claus package designs have proven to encourage impulse purchases.”
English Toffee Eggnog joins two other award-winning Moovers flavors: Traditional and Low Fat Custard Style. Santa and Mrs. Claus adorn the premium eggnog package while two cheerful toy soldiers are featured on the 30-ounce lowfat custard-style nog. The plastic resealable bottles are wrapped in full-shrink PVC labels.
