Problem:
Client had a poor history of branding products and launching
new products under the corporate brand name, Amoroso’s.
They wanted to differentiate this new product from the
traditional Italian roll line, yet use the regional market
power of the Amoroso's brand for credibility and initial
trial. Fear of cannibalizing their own allotted retail
sales floor space / bin space.
Solution:
Use focus group market testing, both consumer and trade,
to test the product attributes, such as taste, and the
naming preferences. Develop a sub-brand name based on
the attributes / benefits of the product itself, but tie
it in with the Amoroso’s brand name. Differentiate it
by using non-Italian wording (Hearty Country) and non-Italian
baking imagery. Create its own logo style incorporating
the Amoroso’s logo in it. Consumer and trade advertising
and PR programs were employed.
Results:
Immediate market acceptance by trade retail customers.
Enlivened the entire sales force by launching an “early
success” product, snapping a run of failures that preceded
it. Overall boost in sales companywide, no loss of sales
space / bin space at the retail level, and additional
volumes acquired from most customers. |
