A global company with an arguably preconceived past becomes more attractive to consumers when the company is able to re-invent themselves and adapt to changing lifestyles and tastes.
Especially healthier ones.
One such global giant that previously had been exclusively associated with sugary drinks and snacks high in salt is Pepsico.
Recently, over the years, they have adeptly followed consumer’s demands for healthier drinks, snacks and meals by adjusting their product line to help meet that demand.
According to CNN, in July of 2019, “PepsiCo is taking a stake in one of China’s largest natural food producers as it seeks to capitalize on the global health food craze.
The American soda and snack company said Friday that it was buying 26% of Natural Food International for $131 million, becoming the company’s second largest shareholder.”
Natural Food International Holding Limited operates as a holding company. The Company, through its subsidiaries, processes and sells natural health food products made of grains, beans, nuts, dried fruits, and other natural ingredients. Natural Food International Holding serves customers in China.
Natural Food International is widely known for making powder products from ingredients including black sesame, walnuts, goji berries and chia seeds. The products are ground, baked and then mixed.
Sounds delicious.
Now Pepsico is swiftly making another move to capture the taste buds of consumers.
In just a few months since the coronavirus pandemic hit and citizens have been mandated to shelter in, consumers have dramatically changed the way they buy groceries. Before the pandemic, most people preferred to shop in person. Now, online sales are booming.
It is like a new movement.
As posted by CNN, “PepsiCo is hoping to capitalize on the moment. The company on Monday announced the launch of Snacks.com — a purveyor of its products such as Cheetos, Doritos and Lay’s potato chips — as well as Pantryshop.com, which offers bundles of oatmeal, cereal and other options.
The sites could offer a short-term fix for people who are having a hard time placing orders on major e-commerce sites like Amazon, or those who want a quick way to order a variety of products.”
Good idea.
No, make that, great idea.
Does that sound like a good fit for you? If so, you should check out their new websites.
Time for an introduction.
PepsiCo Launches New Direct-to-Consumer Offerings to Deliver Food & Beverage Products and Meet Increased Demand Amid Pandemic
