We just won The Most Innovative New Product Award at National Confectioners Association’s Sweets & Snacks Expo for our Strawberries & Cream White Chocolate Macadamias!🍓 What an exciting way to kick off the trade show today! There were 11 categories and 333 entries, the most ever. This product is a seasonal flavor extension from our Paradise Collection. It is crafted from creamy white chocolate and infused with strawberries to create a delightful mix of sweet decadence and tart tang. Mahalo to everyone who helped develop this product and bring it to market. Thank you NCA. If you’re at the show, swing by booth #11119. #nca #sweetsandsnacksexpo #cpg #chocolate #hawaii

If there’s 2 things we know that works as a social marketing campaign it’s 1) Community and 2) Dancing. What happens when you combine the two? Aloha Magic!   Just recently, alongside our powerhouse parent company Hawaiian Host Group, and with our sister brand Mauna Loa, we pulled off the event of the season. Imagine the scene: "Bossman" himself unveiling his much-anticipated princess dress reveal as the beautiful Rapunzel! And let us tell you, it was nothing short of legendary.   Attendees were treated to our delectable products, fun games and prizes, and the chance to win the ultimate prize - a trip to Hawaii!    As the Instagram followers' count grew to over 350K+ and as video views went into the millions, the internet rallied to get these ladies from the Corporate Comms team from Honolulu to Disneyland! And did they ever! Not only did they enjoy the day at The Happiest Place on Earth, but some followers got a special treat and got to meet them in real life on Tuesday night.   Here’s a sneak peak on Tuesday’s iconic night. And if you haven’t already jumped on board this viral sensation, hop on over to our socials and follow along for this incredible ride. #HawaiianHostGroup #HawaiianHost #MaunaLoa #Viral #Disneyland #Hawaii

Check out our Director of eCommerce Stu Haack sharing expertise and how he and the team got us to the highest eCom sales we have ever seen 📈 ! Here's 3 powerful insights he shared at Phoenix eCommerce Summit hosted by Retail Summits and how it can make an impact on your eCOM strategy:    1) Utilize AI – Rapidly advancing artificial intelligence technology can support ecommerce growth. Companies like ChatGPT for content creation and Rebuy and Klaviyo are all integrating AI, and there’s still so much opportunity in front-end and back-end AI.  2) Authenticity to the consumer is king - With the exponential growth of AI and other technologies, brands can feel less "human" than ever to consumers. It's critical that in every communication and touch point brands must stay true to their purpose. This is reflected in influencers worked with, content built, and every review requested. 3) The story doesn’t change – Stay on top of shifting trends in the devices users prefer but never losing sight of telling an authentic story. Leveraging the best modern tools to support efficient and incremental growth is key.    Which insight would you apply first?    #retailsummits #ai #ecommerce  

Whether the islands are your Valentine’s favorite destination or a bucket list one, Hawaiian Host chocolates are authentically Hawaiʻi. They’ll warm anyone's heart.     While a guaranteed heartfelt mahalo is given, if your lucky stars align, maybe you’ll even get some plane tickets to Hawaiʻi as a token of gratitude 😉.    Mahalo, Forbes and Lois Alter Mark, for including us on this gift guide.
