Wonderful Citrus wants parents to think of Halos as a snack that “checks all the boxes” — healthy, convenient and prep-free.
A new promotion, “The Checks-All-The-Boxes Box,” positions Halos an easy solution for parents on snack duty and a way to score points from the other judgmental parents.
In-store point-of-sale materials, free-standing inserts in publications, an expanded influencer campaign, social media ads, digital integrations with event planning sites and consumer e-mails will be part of the promotion, according to a news release.
The promotion features scenarios parents might find themselves in, with a box of Halos as the solution:
- “The Yes-I-Brought-Enough-For-The-Whole-Team Box:” for sporting events
- “The My-Kid’s-Involved-In-Everything Box” for school recitals/other events
- “The For-The-Love-Of-Pete-Don’t-Touch-That-Cake-Yet Box” for birthday parties
Adam Cooper, vice president of marketing for The Wonderful Co., said 80% of parents bring snacks to events their children are involved in, and half of them bring snacks more than five times a year.
“The new multimillion-dollar campaign is designed to tap into these snack duty occasions and empower parents to choose a 5-pound box of Wonderful Halos over other sugary snacks as the good choice solution,” Cooper said in the release.
Halos are available in 3-pound mesh bags and 5-pound bags and boxes.
YouTube’s the Holderness Family, which debuted an original song highlighting Halos, “Snack Panic Attack,” is partnering with Wonderful Citrus as part of the campaign. The video is on media channels including Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, according to the release.
New “Grove of Goodness” Halos displays and Snack Duty point-of-sale materials will be available for produce departments. More than 20,000 Grove of Goodness displays have already been shipped this season.
