BELGIUM. Belgian chocolatier Godiva will be highlighting its seasonal boxes for Christmas and Chinese New Year, along with a new look for the Carré collection, at the TFWA Asia Pacific Exhibition next month (Stand number: H2).
New Godiva Carrés collection
Carrés, one of Godiva’s most popular products, has been redesigned with a new premium look and assortment. Now available in five flavours – white chocolate, milk, 50% dark, 72% dark and 85% dark – each is enclosed in a customised foil wrapping which lists the percentage of cocoa inside.
The Carrés are available in a variety of presentations: three single flavours of 36 pieces in milk, 50% dark and 72% dark; a milk and dark assortment comprising 24 pieces each of milk and 72% dark; and a complete assortment containing 12 pieces each of all varieties (60 pieces).
The packaging is in a dark brown and gold re-sealable window box with each sleeve showcasing the range of chocolate flavours as well as the number of pieces in each assortment.
Godiva Senior Brand Manager Catherine Willemart said: “The tailoring of a new packaging for our Carré collection is designed to boost our gifting segment. The Carrés are now offered in an elegant presentation that has powerful appeal on-shelf. With the range varying from single flavours to assortments, and from white chocolate to dark 85%, we have ensured that all needs and preferences have been met.”
Shipments of the new-look collection will be from August 2010.
