At
7-Eleven the food marketing tool kit is on target and on time according to
Steven Johnson Grocerant Guru®
at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice
Solutions®. When asked what keeps customers coming back to 7-Eleven Johnson
replied a keen focus on customer relevance with limited time offerings and
seasonal relevant messaging.
We
are still in the throws of the dog days of August, fall's favorite flavor
arrived early to 7-Eleven Inc. with the
rollout of pumpkin spice options on Aug. 1 at participating 7-Eleven, Speedway
and Stripes stores across the country.
Between
now and Oct. 31, customers can get either a pumpkin coffee — with the
option to self-enhance with a pumpkin spice or sweet and creamy
sweetener — or a pumpkin spice latte sprinkled with seasonal spices.
Dennis
Phelps, senior vice president, merchandising at 7-Eleven, stated, "We know our
customers wait all year long for their favorite fall flavors, so we decided to
break out the pumpkin a little bit early this year," said. "It may
not quite feel like fall outside yet, but it sure can taste like fall as we
enjoy the first pumpkin spice latte of the season."
Since
it is 7-Eleven you know that there is more, the global brand is also bringing
in additional fall favorites to pair with guests' beverage choices. Customers
may also purchase a limited-time apple cider doughnut, an old-fashioned ring
cake doughnut that is glazed and coated with an apple cider sauce, or enjoy a
selection of other apple-flavored bakery items, such as an apple snack pie or
apple danish, available for just $1 with 7Rewards and Speedy Rewards.
The
chain plans to keep the fall flavors coming throughout August, with pumpkin
muffins becoming available in stores later this month. 7-Eleven
is still offering options for 7Rewards and Speedy Rewards members who want to
hang onto summer for a little bit longer. For a limited time at participating
7-Eleven, Speedway and Stripes stores, loyalty program customers who purchase
six Slurpees, Big Gulp fountain beverages or coffees will receive their seventh
cup free through the store apps.
