The Appeal Of Organic Gourmet Foods

If you’ve been reading our newsletters and we sure hope you have, you’ll notice gourmet foods is often a topic we discuss.

Organic Gourmet Food
As I’ve mentioned gourmet food is a very broad category from chocolates to chutney to nuts and even jerky.  In this month’s newsletter, we are going to explore the organic side of gourmet foods.

Consumers Are Willing To Pay More For Gourmet and Organic Foods

Gourmet foods tend to denote expensive. Add in organic made and the price assumption may be even higher.  As a retailer you may have strayed away from organic gourmet food because of the assumption of a higher price.

Organic gourmet foods may seem higher priced, but a consumer sees natural,  no preservatives and fresh goods, and equates this to being a better product and worth the expense.  And to settle your worry about prices, market research publisher Packaged Facts* notes that 30% of consumers are willing to pay more for gourmet foods.

Organic Gourmet Foods Can Be Comfort Foods

Magnolia Honey
Since prices aren’t an issue, let’s look at reasons why organic gourmet foods are profit makers for retail shops.  We already know that consumers will pay an extra 30% for gourmet foods.  Even in these rough economic times people are clinging to comfort foods, but how does organic gourmet food equate to comfort food?

Comfort comes in the feeling one gets as they eat.  For the health conscience, they are going to seek out organic foods that are delicious. They want healthy,  natural, and organic foods that are flavorful and delectable.  Fortunately over the years, the organic and natural food selections have expanded into a variety of options.

One such option is jerky.  In fact, beef  jerky is one of the items that organic, health conscience consumers are going to purchase.  Why? Beef jerky is a good source of protein without all the fat; it is a healthy low calorie snack.  So, it fills the comfort need and the organic wholesome health conscience need, as well.

Gourmet Sauce
As people are more apt to stay home and not go out for meals, they are cooking their comfort meals with organic specialty foods.  The grocery store is no longer the only place consumer purchase their specialty foods. This gives retailers a great opportunity.

With the vast selection of specialty and snack foods, you can choose the right organic gourmet foods that will your niche market.  For example, one particularly trendy specialty food is barbeque.

Barbeque is a huge comfort food for many Americans. Eating  barbeque out for a family can run close to a hundred dollars when you include a tip.

With a $6 jar of specialty barbeque sauce, home cooks can make their barbeque at home a dining experience that comforts their pocket book, as well as their needs for great tasting food.

Gourmet Food Displays and Samples Are A Must

Organic gourmet food must be displayed just like any other product.  You need to let your customers know why this organic product is the gift they Continue reading “The Appeal Of Organic Gourmet Foods” »

When times got rough, the Bouchards got French. Faced with a struggling potato farming industry, the Bouchards moved their kitchen into their garage and began making mixes to share recipes their family had been enjoying for years. Similar to a crepe, Ployes (rhymes with boys), are thin, pancake-like treats made of a special light buckwheat flour. The Bouchards began making a mix for these French specialty foods after their oldest daughter returned from Louisiana with a mix for beneigts, a famous French dessert similar to a doughnut.

Lactose, sugar, fat and cholesterol-free, Bouchard’s Family Farm Ployes mix makes delicious, versatile Ployes, that can be served with any meal. They make a wonderful breakfast! And the good news is a Ployes from Bouchard’s Family Farm has fewer calories than a slice of bread! Fill them with fruit and roll them, use them as dumplings, or serve them alongside soup. Ployes add a healthy, homemade touch to any meal.

Have people rushing to your store like a five alarm fire when you offer barbecue sauces from 5-0 BBQ LLC. Yeah, they’re every bit that good.

Don’t try too hard to figure out why these indescribably delicious barbecue sauces taste so good. It’ll drive you crazy. Instead, share the story with your consumers as they sample the sauces and watch their eyes light up for TWO reasons.
