The Capri-Sun Blackcurrant juice drink is the latest product from Coca-Cola European Partners (CCEP) that seeks to satisfy increasing demand amongst consumers for premium refreshment products. The drink comes in a convenient pouch packaging with a 330ml serving size, and features a shelf-stable profile that will join the existing roster of flavors such as Cherry and Orange. The beverage will be supported by a £6 million campaign throughout 2020 with a variety of marketing activities including digital advertising, social and in-store activities.
Vice President of Commercial Development at CCEP Great Britain Simon Harrison spoke on the new product launch saying, "Capri-Sun Blackcurrant has already proven to be popular in the 200ml format – currently worth £8.8m – and there’s no doubt it will be a hit in the 330ml variant as we know our consumers grow with the brand, switching into the 330ml format. Combining the popularity of the blackcurrant flavor with growing demand for Capri-Sun 330ml, Capri-Sun Blackcurrant presents a fantastic opportunity for retailers to maximize their soft drinks sales.”
