In my
views, SPAM is an amazing food item for people with a busy schedule. In a busy
life, we hardly get enough time to cook something delicious with the best ratio
of nutrition. Ready to cook, frozen, and diet food items are not only expensive
but also seems boring sometimes. We want to have fresh and tasty food but at
the same time suitable for a healthy diet routine. SPAM is for those who are seeking for healthy
food items with quality ingredients. You can take your SPAM food box in the
office to enjoy or pack a healthy portion of SPAM for the launch of your
school-going children. SPAM is best for all age people including teenagers and
old fellow. I am also personally interested in SPAM food packs to taste this
mouthwatering food and get the same amazing taste I was used to tasting in my
childhood.
SPAM brand is not a new name in the
food industry. It is in the market since World War 2. It was introduced in 1937
for our brave soldiers and troops who were fighting against enemies and
providing security to the country in World War 2. Hereafter, you could say that
SPAM helped our troops to win the war. In a world war, when troops had no
option to get fresh food SPAM took the initial steps to serve troops with easy
to cook fresh food items. History shows that around 100m lbs of SPAM were
shipped to the areas of war to feed the allied troops. SPAM supported soldiers
to get instant energy and power in the cool weather and remain competitive and
active all the time. SPAM was introduced
to secure the free world. If an army marches on its stomach the brave and
war-winning armies marched on SPAM. At that time technology was not quite advanced
therefore company tried to market products through the use of local magazines
and newspapers. While beautiful packaging and quality of food items also worked
as an indirect source for the marketing of SPAM food. Somehow, the company had
many problems in past as its success opened a new door for a competitor
following the footprints of SPAM owners. Company’s limited focus on marketing
played the role of a contributing factor to draw an impact on overall sales and
reputation of the company. Although, things are improved now. SPAM brand is now
focused on marketing and brand positioning with the support of Hormel Foods
Corporation. Under a new business plan, administration of Hormel Foods
Corporation and SPAM Company has decided that from now on the company will specifically
be focused on customer relationship building and consumer needs fulfilment. According
to the information shared by the company, SPAM will create consumer loyalty and
promote new products with commercials and digital media marketing.
Hormel Foods Corporation steps to
invest in the relaunch of SPAM is an innovative step which will bring change in
the market of canned and frozen food. SPAM was in demand since 1937. Even the
company had reached an iconic status in the 1940s. The great history of success
shows that Hormel Foods Corporation's invested amount on relaunch is a step
towards this iconic status once again. However, for this purpose, Hormel Foods
Corporation and SPAM would have to spend on marketing and promotion to spread
awareness about this product and other offered services.
