Let it Snow
Company’s nostalgic product line experiences
tremendous sales growth.
Winter arrived early in
the South as Mayfield Dairy Farms introduced its Snow Cream milk to dairy
cases in response to the success of the company’s Snow Cream frozen
dessert.
This nostalgic flavor — reminiscent of homemade
snow ice cream made from milk, sugar, vanilla and freshly fallen snow
— has generated a flurry of activity around the freezer case since
its initial introduction as a seasonal flavor by the Tennessee-based unit
of Dean Foods.
According to data from Chicago-based Information
Resources Inc. (IRI), the 56-ounce Snow Cream frozen dessert launched
in October 2003 became the second highest-selling flavor in
Mayfield’s Selects line in just eight weeks, the company reports,
falling only behind its blockbuster Moose Tracks.
As of October 2004, Snow Cream has sold more than
650,000 units.
“There is such nostalgia associated with Snow
Cream that we anticipated it to be one of our most popular seasonal
flavors,” says company president Scottie Mayfield. “Consumer
response has been so strong that Snow Cream is now available year round and
we’re meeting demand with additional Snow Cream products.”
In August 2004, Mayfield introduced pint-sized
portions and single-serving Stix to its Snow Cream line. In just 10 weeks
on the shelf, Snow Cream Stix edged out nearly all other 12-pack novelty
varieties in the freezer case, the company says.
Snow Cream milk, specially labeled in Mayfield’s
trademark yellow jug, hit dairy cases in the fall.
The sweet lowfat (1%) vanilla milk is available in
markets where other Mayfield milk products are sold.
