Fans Agree, It’s the Perfect Match! Silk® Chocolate Almond Met With Extraordinary Response
DENVER (PRWEB) August 14, 2013 -- Silk® Chocolate Almond, the first ever national dairy-free, almondmilk-based frozen yogurt option, has proven so popular in the first week that TCBY locations are reporting as much as an 80 percent increase in sales. Due to the immense popularity and overwhelmingly positive support of Silk Chocolate Almond, some locations have already sold out of the new product less than a week after it hit stores.
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible response by old and new TCBY fans for this innovative new flavor,” said Famous Brands International CEO Neal Courtney. “We knew we had something special when we teamed up with Silk and we’re happy to see that our fans are enjoying our perfect match.”
Part of the popularity of Silk Chocolate Almond can be attributed to the fact that for the first time in the company’s history and in the industry there is a non-dairy, plant-based option allowing guests with dietary restrictions the ability to enjoy TCBY’s famous product.
While fans of new Silk Chocolate Almond may fear that their new favorite flavor is running out, they can rest easy knowing that more of the popular new item will be available by the end of August. The introduction of Silk Chocolate Almond marks the most successful product launch since TCBY was the first to bring Greek frozen yogurt to the market in 2012, continuing the brand’s commitment to innovation in the frozen yogurt industry.
TCBY and Silk are celebrating their “perfect match” with “The Perfect Match” campaign on social media. Fans are encouraged to join in the celebration by posting to social media, utilizing the #TCBYPerfectMatch hashtag, and by entering the “You + Beach = The Perfect Match" sweepstakes for the chance to win a trip for two to a Caribbean destination of their choice, including airfare, three-night hotel accommodations, and $500 spending cash.
