Stemilt offers Halloween-themed bags
Stemilt Growers has introduced a Halloween-themed 5-pound pouch bag for its apples to help promote apple sales during October.
It’s the second holiday-themed pouch bag the Wenatchee, Wash., company has offered, after it released a Christmas-themed bag last year, according to a news release.
“The Halloween-themed bag is a great way for retailers to get into the spooky holiday spirit all while being able to decorate their produce department shelves easily,” Stemilt communications manager Brianna Shales said in the release.
Stemilt will ship the bags from Oct. 2-20, with gala, fuji, Pink Lady, red delicious and granny smith varieties available, according to the release. Approximately eight bags ship in Stemilt’s Inspiration Orchard display ready carton.
The bags are the same size as Stemilt’s Apple Lover’s bags, also introduced last year and already available at many retailers in several varieties, Shales said in the release.
“October is apple season and these holiday-themed bags are a fun way to drive sales during a time when many have apples on their mind already,” Shales said in the release. “More time is spent in the kitchen baking and cooking in the fall, so retailers should capitalize on this and push this Halloween-themed 5-pound bag to move volume and see an increase in sales dollars during this season.”
