Multi-Flow Industries Revamps Harvest Squeeze Juice Line ? Fast Growing Brand in On-Premise Dining
Nov 30th
HUNTINGDON VALLEY, Pa. /Advertising Industry Newswire/ — Multi-Flow Industries announced their intention to be the fastest-growing juice brand in on-premise dining today, as the company unveiled its new logo and brand identity for Harvest Squeeze Juices. Harvest Squeeze Juices, by Multi-Flow, are processed exclusively for fountain dispensing. The brand is being re-launched with the slogan, “Farm to Fountain – Fresh.”
“We believe that juices should be more than an after-thought during the dining experience,” said Multi-Flow CEO Mark Stephens. “When accompanying a meal, juice is generally the first taste sensation, in advance of being served food. We feel that a glass of premium juice should represent a fresh, bold fruit taste. We want consumers to take a break between their buttermilk pancakes and omelets to make a sincere observation on the quality of their Harvest Squeeze Juice. And we hope that foodservice operators will feel proud to serve our brand.”
The new logo focuses on various pieces of fresh fruit, representing a slice of the variety of juices available from Harvest Squeeze. The background represents the farms and fields that contribute the harvest used in Multi-Flow’s processing of their juice.
Multi-Flow’s team of food scientists have spent the better part of the last year developing individual taste profiles for every one of their fruit juices. Tanishia Lawson, from the Harvest Squeeze Team, created dozens of formulations with varying levels of sweetness, tartness, color profiles, and initial/after-taste profiles. Dozens of sensory tests then allowed the brand team to determine the most positive profiles for each individual juice, from apple to orange, cranberry to grape.
One of the central components to the Harvest Squeeze Juice re-launch has been the reformulation of the premium orange juice. Harvest Squeeze Premium Orange Juice is now processed exclusively with Valencia Oranges, known for their sweetness. The result is a thicker-textured, deeper-colored, sweeter-tasting orange juice loaded with vitamins.
Another popular flavor, Harvest Squeeze Cranberry Juice, is a rich-colored, bold-tasting breakfast blend that offers nutritive properties as well as anti-oxidants. Like many other flavors in the Harvest Squeeze line-up, Cranberry is available in a variety of options, from 6 percent juice all the way to a 100 percent blend, depending on the needs of the foodservice operator.
Processing is a clear point-of-difference for Harvest Squeeze Juices. Multi-Flow’s new pasteurizer offers the ability to offer a completely sterile juice, with longer shelf life and increased protection from a food-safety standpoint.
Multi-Flow offers a wide selection of packaging choices for Harvest Squeeze Juices, including bag-in-the-box, cartridges/caddy packs, and a variety of jug sizes. The bag-in-the-box is generally shipped in a double-walled, heavy corrugated package with 7-color fruit graphics that communicate the quality of the juice inside.
Multi-Flow Industries processes Harvest Squeeze Juices in its Huntingdon Valley, PA, manufacturing facility, north of Philadelphia. The Huntingdon Valley facility has been an OSHA VPP Star Site since 2005. Approval into VPP is OSHA’s official recognition of the outstanding efforts of employers and employees who have achieved exemplary occupational safety and health.
Harvest Squeeze Juice is available for national distribution to restaurants, healthcare, foodservice, nursing homes, and all other locations that serve fountain-dispensed juice.

Break Out the Crystal Ball!
Nov 30th
Hi Everyone!
I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving and didn’t pass out in a tryptophan-induced coma face down in a Jell-O mold. ; )
As we enter the last month of 2009, it’s a natural time to look ahead and try to prepare for what 2010 has in store for us. In that vein, I’ll be moderating [...]

Carbon Fighters
Nov 30th
Carbon Fighters, a web-based environmental initiative to reduce workplace waste, summarizes its actions in a snappy little (non-embeddable) video, but these promotional stickers give some idea of what the campaign is all about. Featuring eye-catching graphics, these custom decals are available for self-designated “carbon fighters” to print out and place on personal computer monitors and other electronics–chiding others for paper- and power-wasting–or inside of elevators, admonishing lazy co-workers to use the stairs. Other stickers advise employees to use public transportation like trains and buses and cut down on courier services.
This guerrilla marketing promotion’s stickers are truly works of art examined up close, but it’s dubious how much attention bosses will pay them unless their offices are already on some sort of eco-friendly track. Fortunately, workplace sustainability is becoming trendier by the day, if recent “green” features in business magazines are to be believed.
Well-Done or Burned To A Crisp?
Nov 30th
File this promotion under “too creative for its own good.” This restaurant tried to create an interactive business card that shows its information after being warmed up. Realistically, how many people want to spend their time warming up business cards when they want a phone number? It’s definitely an interesting approach, but I’m not convinced that it’s practical. It’s important to be creative when you can, but when your message gets lost in the product you know you’ve gone too far.
