Kit Kat
Kit Kat is not only popular popular in the US, but also in the world as well, specifically Poland, Ireland, Canada, Italy, Spain, Germany, Australia, Malaysia, and especially UK and Japan, to name a few. Not only does Kit Kat satisfy the consumers’ increasing appetite, but it also helps a large company like Nestle to survive during the financial crisis of 2008, while benefiting Ivory Coast, the world’s largest cocoa producing country by funding its economy through the bar’s new certification of Fairtrade since 2009. When it comes to Kit Kat flavors, Japanese are famous for their incredibly huge diversity, as they always are for their wonderful creativity. Going to any convenience store in Japan, buyers would be overwhelmed by the wide range of selections and find it irresistible to pick out one bar for each. Now is when Kit Kat’s size comes into play; each finger-sized bar makes it a lot easier for consumers to throw away their worries on calories, allergies, and whatever health-related issues they can think of when buying other chunky, loaded candy bar, and truly enjoy this iconic candy bar. If in the original candy bar, people might be thrown off since it is “manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts”, the newer flavors, such as the set of nine-teen flavors in Japan, including some of the strangest combinations, grilled corn, Ramune soda, Earl Grey tea, golden peach, and so on, have nicely taken allergies issues into account and are undoubtedly peanut-free. The factories manufacturing these fascinating Kit Kat bars only concentrate on the production of new Kit Kat peanut-free flavors and consequently process no nuts. Another point needs addressing about Kit Kat is its production in UK and the 2009 receipt of an ethical certification through the Fairtrade quality mark. Kit Kat, made in York, is the UK's favorite chocolate biscuit bar, with 1 billion sold here each year. Kit Kat has grown to become Nestlé's biggest confectionery brand in the UK, making up

    I mean, who wants to eat candy with almost 5 whole teaspoons of sugar, and effects of chest pain, headaches, fatigue, nervous system depression, allergies, and even brain damage from artificial flavoring, and food dyes that cause hyperactivity, learning impairment and irritability and aggressiveness? (That was a mouthful) But, this candy is far too delicious to be discontinued, and is way better than Red Vines. Plus, all of this unhealthy content can be changed. So we can kick out the harmful chemicals and keep America’s well loved…

    Growing up, candy was a prize. Maybe it was because my dad didn’t want to waste money on artificial sweeteners. Sure, my friends had candy, but my father never encouraged a love of candy. Thus, was the reason I grew up not caring much for sweet candy. My dad and I migrated to the U.S. shortly before I turned five. Here, I discovered a vast variety of candy; much more diverse that in Trinidad. There are brand names and new flavors I had not heard of.…

    In 2009, the cereal giant Kellogg asked stores to stop selling its popular Keebler and Austin brand peanut butter crackers, as health officials reported two more deaths in the nationwide salmonella outbreak that is linked to peanut butter. What is important to note is that Kellogg had discovered no trace of salmonella in its peanut butter crackers but took the action as a "precautionary measure". If Kellogg was looking only at its bottom line, the company could have decided to sit back, say nothing, and continue to collect revenue. Instead, Kellogg willingly put safety first, choosing to withdraw its crackers from the market and forego profits rather than put its customers at risk.…

    The Kellogg Company is the world's leading producer of cereals. Its products are manufactured in 18 countries and sold in more than 180 countries. For more than 100 years, Kellogg's has been a leader in health and nutrition through providing consumers with a wide variety of food products. These are designed to be part of a balanced diet and meet the different tastes of consumers. Kellogg's focuses on sustainable growth. This involves constantly looking for ways to meet consumer needs by growing the cereal business and expanding its product portfolio. Market research is a specific area of marketing that informs businesses like Kellogg's about the things consumers need, how best to design products to answer those needs and how to advertise those products to consumers. Market research goes beyond finding out what consumers are thinking today. It can identify what consumers might want in the future. In this way market research helps a business to make more informed choices. This reduces the risks for any new product development (NPD). It also increases the likelihood that products will be well received by consumers when they are launched. Kellogg's launched Crunchy Nut Cornflakes in the UK in 1980. Since then, it has become one of the most important brands for Kellogg's with a sales value of £68 million (according to IRI sales data). In 2003 the Crunchy Nut brand created a brand extension. This involved using the Crunchy Nut name to launch a new product called Crunchy Nut Clusters. This variant has two varieties, Milk Chocolate Curls and Honey and Nut. Both of them have enabled the brand to reach a wider group of consumers. This brand extension is now worth £21 million in annual value sales (according to IRI sales data). This case study focuses on the importance of market research during the development and launch of Crunchy Nut Bites, a more recent extension to the Crunchy Nut brand. The objective of this innovation was to provide a new flavour and texture for…

    Hershey’s specifically targets their products to mothers, and for a good reason. Hershey’s believes that mothers determine their children(s) tastes in candy from an early age. If Hershey’s can successfully target mothers who buy their products, then their children will grow up eating Hershey’s. Therefore, when these children grow older the Hershey’s brand will be embedded in them, making them more apt to continue buying the Hershey’s brand products. Peter & Olson (2010) also explain that research has proven that 55% of candy sold is purchased by adults. This makes the majority of candy intake through adults and not children. In addition, adults in the household make the purchasing decisions on what type of food to buy. Targeting adults will be much more effective when selling candy products.…
