Hershey faced a Texas-sized challenge: H-E-B took a bite out of s’mores' promotional season, cutting it by 4 weeks. Hershey needed to meet its yearly average of 6-pack sales and fill a $58K gap. Hershey played to H-E-B shoppers’ Tex-Mex tastes with This is How TEXAS Does S’mores, pairing classic s’mores fixings with audience-appealing ingredients in placements throughout the shopper journey. With the additional help of influencer content and paid media, Hershey exceeded its goals and increased orders by 26.4%, retail sales by 25.3%, and unit sales by 7.2%.
