Consumer products sales
National Sales Meeting
This year’s consumer products sales (CPS) National Sales
Meeting took place in Phoenix, Ariz., where members of the
Hormel Foods sales and marketing teams met for a week of
meetings, breakout sessions and networking opportunities.
This year’s theme was BE THE BEST of the best, and focused
on encouraging the entire organization to work together to
achieve company goals. In order to be the best, leaders encouraged employees to embrace the diversity in the organization
as well as encourage recognition for individual and group
achievements.
These important themes of diversity and recognition were
woven throughout the meetings and events of the week beginning with a welcome and presentation by Steve Binder, executive
vice president and president of Hormel business units, for the
managers at the meeting.
Other notable presentations included Tom Day’s, group vice
president of Refrigerated Foods, in which he presented his challenge for eight percent return on growth for the Refrigerated
Foods organization; a keynote address by Jeff Ettinger, CEO; a
presentation on the status of diversity and inclusion at Hormel

Foods given by Steve Venenga, vice president of meat products
marketing, and Laura Brock, corporate manager of diversity
and inclusion; and closing remarks the final day given by Larry
Vorpahl, group vice president and president of consumer products sales.
A new component to this year’s meeting was the addition of
an internal Twitter handle, @CPSNatlMeeting, which provided a
live-feed to events at the meeting and encouraged employees at
the meeting to tweet as well.
Also new this year was the large component
of philanthropy with a presentation and update
on Project SPAMMY™, as well as an activity that involved packing meals for the Feed
My Starving Children organization. The group
raised more than $27,000 for Project SPAMMY™
at the meeting, which is enough to fund scholarships for two children to go to the boarding school in Guatemala.

yphoon Yolanda (also
known as Typhoon Haiyan)
struck the Philippines on
Nov. 8. It was the strongest recorded typhoon to make landfall.
Hormel Foods is responding to relief efforts by providing an opportunity for company-matched contributions from active employees.
The company’s joint venture
with San Miguel Corporation,
Purefoods-Hormel, is located in
the Philippines. Purefoods-Hormel
is the largest producer and marketer of processed meats in the
Philippines.
The Hormel Foods Corporate
Office (Austin, Minn.) has held two
events to raise funds for typhoon relief. The employee resource groups
(ERGs) partnered on a hot dog feed
and the CIP enrichment committee held an ugly holiday sweater
contest.
"With a tragedy like this, I knew
the Hormel Young Professionals
Enterprise (HYPE) members would
want to get involved. I reached
out to the co-chairs of the Hormel
Asian-American Professional
Association (HAPA) to see if they
were doing an event. We realized
all ERGs were looking to help out
so we decided to work together for
one large event,” said Christopher
Purdue, category development analyst, and chair of community service
for HYPE. “As the ERGs met, we
thought a hot dog feed would be a
great idea with Purefoods-Hormel's
presence in the Philippines."
The Purefoods-Hormel Co. Inc.
is a leader in chilled processed
food. The hot dog business contributes more than 70 percent of the
company’s volumes and almost 60
percent of its yearly revenues.
The event raised more than
$1,500, which will be matched by
Hormel Foods. Sponsors of the
hot dog feed included the Hormel
Foods employee resource groups,
Hormel Foods foodservice, the
Hormel® chili brand, Specialty
Foods and HyVee in Austin, Minn.
The ugly holiday sweater contest
gave employees an opportunity to
vote using donations for their preferred ugly sweater during the hot
dog feed.
Since the typhoon made landfall,
the global Red Cross network has
been distributing food, water and
life-saving services to people in
need. The donations received from
American Red Cross and other Red
Cross partners will continue to aid
the Philippines relief and recovery
efforts through the Philippines
Red Cross and possibly other
organizations as experts on the
ground determine the best way
to move forward. n
performance Category Captains list
Progressive Grocer recognizes Hormel
Foods and MegaMex Foods as
category leaders
P
rogressive Grocer magazine has included Hormel Foods and MegaMex
Foods (Orange, Calif.) in their 2013 Category Captains list, naming Hormel
Foods the category captain in the canned meat and chili category, as well as
the category advisor for deli meat, and MegaMex Foods was named the category
advisor for ethnic foods. Both designations reflect outstanding contributions to the
industry at the category level.
Progressive Grocer utilizes these awards to honor consumer product goods
companies that demonstrate category management prowess through partnerships with grocery retailers. All companies included on the list were judged on an
initiative implemented in the 12 months prior to Sept. 1, 2013. The initiatives were
judged on a variety of criteria including: product innovation, initiative effectiveness, creativity in initiative promotion and demonstrated commitment to meeting
the retailer’s specific needs.
Category captain – canned meat/chili
®
In the canned meat category, the Hormel Foods team implemented a segmentcentric strategy informed by growth analysis and was able to grow target segments
18 percent. Working with another retailer, the Hormel Foods team created a
merchandising plan to extend the chili season forward into Halloween and
through the spring and summer using key events. This initiative increased sales,
units and visits for chili and opened those key events for other manufacturers.
Category advisor – deli
The Hormel Foods team collaborated with a major retailer to grow the service deli
category by reducing the number of assortments available to include only power
segments, brands and items. This initiative reduced labor, improved departmental
efficiency and in-store presentation while growing the retailer’s market share.
®
Category advisor - ethnic foods
MegaMex Foods invested in consumer segmentation research that pinpointed
cooking and consumption behaviors, specifically spending habits, time spent
preparing food, age, gender, ethnicity and income levels. Based on this information,
the MegaMex Foods team created planograms that have been implemented or are
being tested by several retailers. This change has led to increased traffic and sales
for Mexican cooking sauces, salsas and salty snacks like tortilla chips
and chicharrones. n

products Wholly Guacamole® products
Wholly Guacamole® products from
production to consumer
H
OMEGATING™ parties are a trend that have been increasing in
popularity in recent years because it allows consumers all the fun
of tailgating without all the hassle. During football season, the
official HOMEGATING™ party headquarters is at www.HOMEGATING.
eatwholly.com. This extension of the Wholly Guacamole™ brand consumer website is filled with party tips, recipes and how-to videos featuring
Chef Nathan Lippy.
The HOMEGATING™ promotion has been used for the last four
years during the football season, exposing consumers to a variety of
new recipes for their HOMEGATING™ parties as the season leads up
to the big game.
“Many people enjoy Wholly Guacamole® products as dips at parties
or as a side dish on taco night,” said Jennifer Sawyer, marketing coordinator, Fresherized Foods, “but the product is very versatile and can
be used on almost anything. Switching out mayo for guacamole on a
burger or salad, or topping your scrambled eggs with guacamole is a
delicious way to put a new twist on an old favorite.”
In addition to the HOMEGATING™ website, the Wholly
Guacamole® brand is engaging consumers online through Facebook,
Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube and Instagram. On Facebook, the Wholly
Guacamole® brand is approaching one million fans.
“Our favorite social media conversations are from those people who
have discovered our product for the first time, and they seek us out on
social media to tell us about their experience,” said Sawyer.
Fresherized Foods
The Wholly Guacamole® brand originally entered the marketplace
in 1997 under the Avo Classic brand name, which was overhauled
in 2007 to become the Wholly Guacamole® brand. In 2011, Wholly
Guacamole® products producer Fresherized Foods was acquired by
MegaMex Foods, a joint venture between Hormel Foods and Herdez
Del Fuerte. Fresherized Foods also produces guacamole products under
the Dancing Iguana® and Simply Avo® brands.
