NightFood Developing Additional Products to Address $50 Billion Nighttime Snack Market
TARRYTOWN, NY -- (Marketwired) -- 05/11/17 -- NightFood Holdings, Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), a fully reporting "better-for-you" snack company, announced today that the Company is actively working to add additional offerings to its line of better-for-you nighttime snacks.
In addition to developing new flavors for addition to the existing line of NightFood nutrition bars, the Company is considering introducing other snack formats, ice cream and the growing "bites" format.
In their annual State of the Snack Food Industry report, Information Resources Incorporated (IRI) recently reported the top five snacks for each day-part. At night, 44% of all snacking occurs representing over $50 billion annually in consumer spend. The most popular nighttime snack categories, in order, are salty snacks (chips, pretzels, popcorn), followed by ice cream, candy, and cookies.
NightFood CEO Sean Folkson commented, "The industry data shows which snacks are most popular at night. We estimate there's approximately $100 million worth of ice cream, candy, cookies, and salty snacks consumed every single night in this country. People love the bars, and we also want to be able to start offering people nighttime appropriate versions of the snack formats they're already eating at night."
Meetings have been conducted with major distributors to identify the most desirable formats as well as go-to-market strategies and timelines.
Folkson added, "Our advisors firmly believe that a broader product line will benefit the Company tremendously and in numerous ways. Today's consumer is looking for snacks with secondary benefits beyond great taste, and satisfaction of hunger and cravings. As a result, when the consumer has access to more nighttime appropriate and sleep-friendly versions of the snack formats they're already consuming, we anticipate strong consumer response."
