The reporting subset represents all 30 hotels across the country which only sold 2 brands of pint ice cream (Nightfood and Haagen Dazs) during the two-month period and for which point-of-sale purchase data is available. Hotels which only sold Nightfood pints were excluded from the analysis, as were hotels that sold more than two brands of pints.
Nightfood, which began appearing nationally in hotel freezers less than six months ago, captured over 39% of total ice cream pint unit sales against the iconic Haagen Dazs which launched in 1960. In 33% of those hotels, Nightfood outsold Haagen Dazs, head-to-head.
“We’ve always believed that Nightfood would sell well in the high-margin hotel environment, and all the data to date supports that belief,” commented Nightfood CEO Sean Folkson. “Hotels don’t need to sacrifice revenue or profit when they add sleep-friendly snacks to their lobby shop assortments in support of guest wellness and sleep.”
The Company, which recently added sleep-friendly cookies to their product line, believes any hotel selling snacks has an obligation to make sleep-friendly snacks available for their guests.
Folkson continued, “There are 56,000 hotels in the U.S., and we believe Nightfood should be in every one of them. We’re proudly sharing this independent sales data with hotel decision-makers as we work to secure additional distribution commitments and timelines with some of the largest brands in the hotel industry.”
