Corina: With Croctails just hitting the market in November 2012, we are striving for brand awareness as we capture the consumers’ attention in all fifty states in 2013. Currently, Croctails are in twenty states and we are gaining momentum. Recently, Croctails has caught the attention of food & beverage companies at various sports stadiums which is the perfect venue for an icy cold Croctails.
Diane Svehlak: Wine in cocktails dates back to somewhere in the in the mid-19th century and were very popular in the 60s and the 80s and then they seemed to have more or less disappeared – until now that is. What contributes to the growing market demand?
Corina: Alcohol marketers have discovered that consumers seem to enjoy the ‘pick up and go’ mentality of Croctails. Pouched beverages jump 153% to over $150m in the financial year ending June 23, 2012 according to Nielsen and is only expected to continue to grow. Buy a couple of these pouches for a get-together and instead of having to make a trip to the liquor store, a trip to the grocery store, and dirtying up your blender, you can drink them right in the pouch or rip ‘em open and pour into a glass.
