Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
Well it looks like sales are down at Hershey's for their famous kiss. The chocolate giant has seen sales drop by four percent just this year, despite the huge chocolate holiday that just passed. Of course this cannot be tolerated. The company plans on revamping one of it's oldest products. They're going to look into new packaging and new marketing strategies. Apparently celebrating the Kisses' 100th birthday with postage stamps and "other festivities" wasn't enough. (By the way, either it wasn't effective or I was buried under a rock. I had no idea this happened).
I know how Hershey's can improve sales on their Kisses. They can improve the quality of the product. I can name five chocolates off the top of my head that I'd rather put into my mouth. Work on the quality and then we'll talk about sales.

Perhaps spell check can help.
As for the Kisses:
1) Put that Scharffen Berger purchase to good use and introduce high-end/fair trade/organic whatever Kisses. I'd buy Nibby Bar KissesTM!
2) Go for the Wal Mart crowd with new "flavor combinations".
3) Sell 'em in different size bags.

I'm not buying products from Nestle, Hershey, Russell Stover, etc. any more. They think they can sell brown wax and call it chocolate, but the market seems to be saying otherwise. Crummy products = lower sales.

Though, everytime I eat the Kissables, I get this strange urge to play board games like Life & Monopoly & Risk ... LOL
