Beverage Industrys Sept. 18 webinar, The Path to New Product Success, that beveragemakers have to ensure that co-packers exist in the market that can produce a given

Nestl Waters North
America evolves
products, packaging to
suit consumer needs
Jeffery has seen a drastic change within the beverage industry since he joined Perrier
Group of America in 1978. At that time, the U.S. water category primarily consisted of
5-gallon containers and was a $250 million business, he says. Although the companys
flagship Perrier sparkling water brand was available overseas for nearly a century
prior to its debut in the United States, much of the U.S. beverage industry did not
believe that Americans would pay $0.79 for a bottle of water, he adds. Jeffery and his
team, however, thought otherwise and set out to prove them wrong.
Shortly after Perriers U.S. launch, the brand became
an instant success in the marketplace, notes Michael
Bellas, chairman and chief executive officer of Beverage
Marketing Corp., New York. In fact, the brand even
inspired more than 40 works of art by Andy Warhol in
the 80s, which the company is paying tribute to now
via a series of limited-edition bottles.
[Perrier] was an alternative to both traditional
non-alcoholic beverages, like [carbonated soft
drinks], and it became in social settings almost
a replacement for somebody that didnt want to
drink an alcoholic beverage but still wanted to
have sophistication and something that would be
appropriate in a cocktail setting, Bellas explains.
It was a very, very big success.
Today, Perrier Group of America, now known as
Nestl Waters North America (NWNA), Stamford,
Conn., is the largest bottled water company in the
United States with volume share of nearly 32 percent
and revenue share of almost 36 percent, according to
Beverage Marketing Corp. To put that into perspective,
NWNAs volume share of the market is approximately

AFTER KICKING OFF HER LETS MOVE INITIATIVE IN 2010 TO LEAD CHILDREN TO HEALTHIER LIFESTYLES,
first lady Michelle Obama, as well as actress Eva Longoria, joined a new movement designed to encourage
people of all ages to drink more water more often. Created by the Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA),
Drink Up brings together more than a dozen public- and private-sector partners to make this goal a reality.
Key supporters of the initiative include water filter companies,
public drinking stations, reusable water bottle companies, industry
organizations, and bottled water brands such as PepsiCos
Aquafina, The Coca-Cola Co.s Dasani, Hint Inc.s Hint, Wataah!s Wat-aah!, Beverly Hills Drink Co.s Beverly Hills 9OH2O,
Danones Evian Natural Spring Water, and Voss of Norway
ASAs Voss. These brands will integrate the Drink Up logo
on products and promote the initiative through public
events; print, digital, social and out-of-home media
efforts; and funding.
In particular, Wat-aah! recently kicked off a
social media campaign across its channels
using the official hashtag #DrinkH20 to
engage fans. To further promote the initiative
and drive traffic to the campaigns site,
youarewhatyoudrink.org, the brand featured
the Drink Up logo and hashtag in its Back2-School marketing campaign in print and
online ads in teen magazines and websites
as well as poster installations in the schools
where Wat-aah! currently is sold. Wat-aah! also
will cross-promote the initiative via concerts and
events in key cities. Last month, the brand debuted
a 60-second co-branded commercial in collaboration
with kids music group Yung Day 1 to support the
initiative and encourage kids to drink more water. In October,
the brand launched a limited-edition Wat-aah! Boo Halloween bottle
featuring the Drink Up logo in the form of a spider.

allowing children to create their new best friend in-store. However, the fun, frivolity of
kids stuffing their fuzzy companions sometimes can result in toys that are busting
at the seams. Luckily, this type of problem can easily be fixed with a needle and thread.
But in a beverage warehouse, a facility thats busting at the seams with SKUs needs
more than amateur sewing knowledge to solve its problems.

Nestls Abuelita and Nescaf Caf de Olla brands encouraged consumers to celebrate Dia de los Muertos a su
manera, meaning in their own way, through their various
Day of the Dead promotions. At the 14th annual Dia de los
Muertos event at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery on
Nov. 2 in Los Angeles, the brands attempted to establish
the Guinness World Record for the largest Day of the
Dead altar in the United States. The altar design portrayed
catrinas, or skeleton women, enjoying cups of Abuelita and
Nescaf Caf de Olla in the afterlife. On the same day, the
brands encouraged consumers to participate in their costume
contest and sample the hot chocolate and coffee served
with pan de muertos or bread of the dead. In addition,
Abuelita posted celebratory tips on its Facebook page to help
consumers enhance their celebrations.
The Double Cola Co.s Double Cola brand launched The Great Outdoors
Sweepstakes, a promotion encouraging consumers in Chattanooga,
Tenn., and the surrounding areas to celebrate outdoor activities. The
sweepstakes was hosted in partnership with L2 Boards, an outdoor
retailer also based in Chattanooga. Fans could visit participating Bi Lo
stores as well as L2 Boards to enter. The Great Outdoor Sweepstakes
grand prize included a paddle board valued at $899, an L2 Boards standup paddleboard excursion for four, as well as Double Cola products and
merchandise. One first prize winner received a $100 Bi Lo gift card and
$75 worth of Double Cola products and branded merchandise.

Make your fleet more profitable and environmentally sound with the Freightliner Cascadia natural gas day cab.
Powered by the 12-liter, 400-horsepower Cummins Westport ISX12 G engine, Freightliner Trucks led the way by
introducing natural gas vehicles to the trucking industry and weve continued to build thousands ever since. And
with fueling infrastructure continuing to grow, natural gas makes more sense than ever. In fact, we drove the
Cascadia natural gas day cab from coast to coast using only public fueling stations. Learn more about the truck
and its historic journey at FreightlinerGreen.com.
Competitive financing available through Daimler Truck Financial. For the Freightliner Trucks dealer nearest you, call 1-800-FTL-HELP. 11/12. FTL/MC-A-1225. www.freightlinertrucks.com.
