Consumer promotions are an ideal way to build in-store excitement and help drive sales, but when a Hershey promotion is tied to one of the summer’s biggest movies – MAN OF STEEL – it’s a recipe for success.
Think of it as a winning combination: SUPERMAN, TWIZZLERS®* and JOLLY RANCHER®* brands have teamed up for the MAN OF STEEL promotion, which offers consumers a chance to win† An Invincible Alaskan Adventure, or one (1) of ten (10) weekly prizes.
As a c-store retailer, you can support the MAN OF STEEL promotion and be a part of the excitement with front-of-store pre-packs and in-store signage from Hershey.
Take advantage of the opportunity to help build sales for the TWIZZLERS®* and JOLLY RANCHER®* brands by placing the promotional pre-packs and POS materials in a high-traffic area. Don’t forget to replenish your display to ensure it’s always full of participating product.
Advertisements for the MAN OF STEEL promotion will hit TV and the big screen beginning on May 27, 2013. The support and buzz surrounding this promotion are impressive, which means your customers will likely know about the promotion and be looking for the pre-packs when they walk into your store.
Hershey holds the top market share position among everyday candy/licorice manufacturers. Sales of TWIZZLERS®* candy is outperforming the competition at a rate of +10% growth [source: Nielsen Market Track, National AC, Everyday Candy/Licorice, Last 6 months to Sept 22 2012].
