Mexico: SunGold in every McDonald's Happy Meal
Zespri General Manager Carol Ward explains that Zespri is thrilled to partner with one of the world’s largest and best-known food retailers to introduce consumers in Mexico to Zespri’s great-tasting new gold variety.
According to Félix Ramírez, Director of Corporate Communication for McDonald’s México, McDonald’s commitment to innovation and quality leads it to search out the best products for all its consumers.
One Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit and spife (combination spoon-knife to cut and scoop) will be available in every McDonald’s Happy Meal in more than 400 McDonald’s Mexico restaurants throughout the month of June. A SunGold advertisement will also play on McTV in McDonald’s stores during the promotion and McDonald’s Mexico’s 8,000 crew will receive training about Zespri and SunGold.
“Mexico is a sophisticated fruit market and consumers have responded really positively to the sweet tropical taste of Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit. Mexico is a relatively undeveloped market for Zespri; we’re forecasting sales volumes of around 750,000 trays in Mexico this season, up by 50 percent from last season.
“This marketing partnership is a great step toward establishing both our brand and gold kiwifruit, which is largely unknown in this region, to families across Mexico. This is part of a broader strategy to introduce our new premium product and its powerful health benefits to new markets around the world.” says Carol.
