2024 ANNUAL MASTERS OF MERCHANDISING: Zespri™

KIWIFRUIT

INCREASE SALES WITH IN-STORE DISPLAYS

KIWIFRUIT IS ON TREND!

• Zespri™ continues to be the #1 selling kiwi brand!

• Kiwi is one of the fastest growing fruit in the fruit bowl, outpacing total fruit sales by +7 points

• Zespri SunGold™ Kiwifruit is driving this growth, accounting for 49% of total kiwi category growth this past year

DRIVE INCREMENTAL DEPARTMENT SALES WITH IMPACTFUL DISPLAYS

Zespri’s shipper display features new creative to tie into its Taste the Obsession consumer campaign. The extensive digital campaign includes social, email, online video, display advertising, Ibotta, sampling and event activations all designed to drive consumers to your stores.

1) Build large, eye-catching displays. Retailer X featured Zespri™ SunGold™ Kiwifruit for a month which included a 4-week TPR and 3 display bins at front of store. This averaged a +200% $ sales lift over the month.

2) Permanent home in retail leads to increased sales. Retailer X planogramed Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit into the set for the first time and saw a volume increase of +46% versus YA, ACV distribution improving by +18 points, +6 units moved per week, and minimized out of stocks!

3) Maximize department sales with Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit & Berries. Based on a 3rd party merchandising study, moving Zespri SunGold Kiwifruit from the exotic section to adjacent to berries may result in +64% total fresh fruit sales uplift, driven by higher basket spend. Placement of Zespri next to berries also has no negative impact on berries.onus! Kiwi is a basket builder in the fruit department. When kiwi is in the basket with other fruit items, the basket size increases +$37 on average.
