ITT Foods Private Limited (Dipitt)’s Post

Innovation is in the eye of the beholder. One of my proudest launches recently has been Secret Aardvark Trading Co. at Fresh Thyme. This is fantastic product with great branding. It’s also been around for 20 years now. There are tons of GREAT mature brands like this who deserve to be in front of more consumers, but haven’t had national distribution. To the consumers in the 70 Fresh Thyme stores across the Midwest, this product is “NEW”. This gives Fresh Thyme a chance to differentiate since it isn’t carried in UNFI or KeHE so their competitors won’t have it. Differentiation=More Sales+Margin There are hundreds of excellent mature brands like this just waiting for their shot on retail shelves, and we’re here to help.

It sometimes takes a while for the recommendations from research to become manifest in the real world, but it is so gratifying when they do. The lovely MCVITIE'S LIMITED Signature range that has just landed on the shelves at Waitrose appears to have taken on key learning regarding product concept, format, packaging and branding that came out of the NPD and positioning project I debriefed 4 years ago for pladis Global. There's a good lesson here in how taking the time to get things right pays off in the marketplace. #NPD #marketresearch #qualitativeresearch #productdevelopment

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! 💥 I couldn’t be more excited to announce the launch of trüfrü in the UK this week 🍓 Very exciting times ahead for our team! trüfrü is a delicious, US award-winning frozen snack made from real fruit, double immersed in delicious smooth chocolate. It burst onto the US snacking scene in 2017, and has since reached nearly $200m sales, completely changing the game in the US frozen category. trüfrü not only tastes really indulgent, but also fulfills needs we know consumers are now looking for in the frozen category. Each serving is less than 92 kcal, gluten-free, has no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives and is made with 100% real fruit, picked ripe. Our UK launch has moved from idea to in-store in just 8 months, which is down to the hard work, agility, and pace of the team involved. It also shows what’s possible when founder-led businesses join Mars Snacking, with our commitment to nurturing emerging and founder-led brands, while supporting their accelerated growth journey. The launch goes off with a bang this week, with listings in multiple channels and key national grocers. Watch out for trüfrü popping up across the UK over the coming weeks and months – we know that when you try it, you’ll love it as much as we do 😊 trüfrü UK #futureofsnacking #trufru https://lnkd.in/euDW3UFP

Marson Foods has established itself as the leader for quality waffle #foods and other #breakfast items, with an established network of trusted distributors and brokers that help to serve customers across the United States. But now, from that strong position, the company is preparing to launch itself across the grab-n-go #snack sector as a whole. To differentiate itself and be in a place to compete across the entire snack field, Marson Foods has invested in one differentiator that makes it unique in the field. “Our unique selling point is our use of automation,” explains David Marson , Co-Founder of Marson Foods. “Our plant is fully state-of-the-art, fully robotic, and high-speed. Technology is a big part of it, and that leads to heightened #foodsafety and heightened #foodquality; the cornerstones of what attracts the big companies to partner with us.” https://lnkd.in/eB6dpUjG #businessworld #digitalnews #globalnews #news #onlinenews #fmcg #foodproduction #internationalnews #businessleaders #newsupdates #newsoftheday #businessbuilding #latestnews #subscribe #follow #businessfocus

Interesting read and what stood out for me is when James mentions driving profitability from day 1 vs large cash investments. He used £50k, his Amex and re mortgaged his home further down the line! Largely different from what we see with other SME's. #fmcg #foodanddrink #consumergoods #bcorp #investment #hiring #talentpoolcompany
