The collection also includes products from last year returning as a limited edition with others added with some upgrades for shoppers to appreciate. Senior Brand Manager Joanne Cramer spoke on the new Spar products saying, "This is a huge opportunity for stores to support Spar own-label. We see stores that engage early and support the new lines to maximise seasonal performance reap the benefits. Shoppers to our stores can get great quality and value from choosing some of our award-winning hero lines such as our Spar basil houmous, lamb koftas, feta and spinach parcels, and spicy tapas collection." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.4/10 - Popularity: 26% | Activity: 35% | Freshness: 12% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Branding](https://www.trendhunter.com/branding) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Private Brand Food Expansion:** Expanding private brand food offerings to include seasonal and limited-edition products can increase sales and shopper loyalty. - **Al Fresco Dining Support:** Creating products specifically tailored to support al fresco dining experiences can attract outdoor enthusiasts and expand customer base. - **Upgrade and Return:** Upgrading and reintroducing popular limited-edition products can create scarcity and urgency in shoppers, driving sales and demand. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Retail Industry:** Retailers can capitalize on the high demand for seasonal food products by offering private brand options that cater to specific dining occasions. - **Food and Beverage Industry:** Food and beverage companies can innovate by creating new, unique products that cater to the outdoor dining experience. - **E-commerce Industry:** E-commerce platforms can partner with retailers to offer online ordering and delivery of private brand seasonal and limited-edition food products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Private Label Snack Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spar-products.md) - [Summer Socialization Food Products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coop-summer-feastival-range.md) - [Accessible Summertime Retailer Refreshments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-food-range.md) - [Seasonal Grocery Aisle Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taste-the-difference.md) - [Private Label Pet Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pet-food-range.md) - [Fresh Private Label Pastas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/italian-recipe-pastas.md) - [Playfully Branded Own-Label Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/private-label-wines.md) - [Private Label Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spar-ice-creams.md) - [Summery Private Label Foods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/summer-specials.md)
