Spring Time Change Promotions

The Kroger Hour Back Boxes Ease Daylight Savings Woes

The Kroger Hour Back Boxes is a new promotion from the retailer that puts several of its private label products in the spotlight and helps to tie into consumer traditions.

The promotion is one of a growing number of micro-occasion integrations being launched by retailers and will see the grocer offering customers a complimentary box of products that will support their transition to Daylight Savings Time. This includes such products as the Private Selection Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate, the Simple Truth Oatmilk Creamer and the Kroger Frozen Breakfast Sandwiches. The box will also come with a gift card that can be redeemed for a one-year membership to Kroger Boost.

VP and Head of Marketing Tom Duncan commented on the Kroger Hour Back Boxes saying, "Losing an hour of sleep during daylight saving can challenge parents and their family's schedule. We created the Kroger Hour Back boxes to make daylight saving a little easier, helping parents and their families jump start the day with customer-favorite, morning time foods - from a much needed cup of coffee to a filling breakfast sandwich."
