Memo The Candy Company
To: Xie Yan From: Fang Jing
Subject: ____________________________________________ Date: 25 February
We need to increase sales of our ChocoLoco bar. As you know, sales of our Snowman ice cream have increased after repackaging. That is why we are considering repackaging out chocolate bar as well. Our new packaging will:
be colorful and eye-catching have writing in Chinese and English
be attractive to people of all ages improve the image of our company
We must update our packaging order to attract more young customers. Our advertising expert thinks that out product looks rather old-fashioned now. however, we need to keep some design features of the existing packaging to make sure that the ChocoLoco bar does not look completely different from our company’s other products.
