  15. Possible Health Issues

  16. Why Dinner Sausage • Healthy aspects of the lower fat option • Sales are booming • Its and all occasion product • Convenience • Most profitable meat product

  17. Market Data • The total sales of dinner sausage alone was $1.5 billion last year; increasing 5% from 2003. A majority of the new SKU’s were of ethnic variety, upscale gourmet, or heat and serve (Petrak, 2004) • Americans consume about 1.7 billion servings of dinner sausage annually, with fresh sausage making up 62% (Consumer Insight, 2002) • Chicken sausage hits the health trend by reducing the fat content by 90% as compared to normal pork sausage (Major, 2004) • This is probably why chicken sausage has increased 1454% from 1998-2002

  18. Market Data • Top 10 markets grossed over $450 million in refrigerated dinner sausage sales • Dinner sausage consumption is uniform throughout income levels • Dinner sausage sales peak during the summer months http://www.ers.usda.gov/publications/foodreview/jan1996/frjan96a.pdf

  19. Market Forecast • Bon Appetite named sausage one of two top food trends, and the Mintel International Group reported that dinner sausage is the fastest growing category within sausage increasing 36% between 1997 and 2002. (Major, 2004) • Business Trends Analysis predicts total annual sausage sales to reach $9.7 billion by 2010 • The large boom in the sausage industry will most likely continue due to its convenience, the low carb craze, and the new exciting flavors promoted in supermarkets, restaurants, and cooking shows (Harper, 2004)

  20. Target Market • Our product concepts will target adults rather than children due to the bold flavor profiles • Men consume more sausage then women, but since women tend to do more of the shopping we want our product to appeal to both sexes

  24. Summary of Project • We would like to help Haen Meats diversify there award winning line of sausages • The concepts will stem from predicting future Midwestern trends based on current national trends • The overall goal is to create a buzz among the existing consumers, and this will in turn generate new customers
