Nightfood Ice Cream Product of the Year Logo Added to Packaging, Third Production Run of 2019 Scheduled in Three Weeks


Tarrytown, NY, April 22, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Nightfood, Inc. (OTCQB: NGTF), the innovative company solving America’s $50 billion-dollar nighttime snacking problem, announced today that the 2019 Product of the Year logo will be added to Nightfood ice cream packaging for its next production run, scheduled for the week of May 13.

This will be the third Nightfood production run in just over four months, each over 100,000 pints.  The Company manufactured its first pint of ice cream on January 7, 2019 and has quickly established distribution in three of the top-50 revenue supermarket chains in the country, and distribution in over 15 states.

“The logo on the packaging is something that will drive trial and also aid in securing additional retail chains on our way to 10,000 points of distribution," explained Jim Christensen, Nightfood VP of Ice Cream Sales.  "Retailers want that icon on the package for consumers to see.”

In addition to the adding the Product of the Year icon, the Company will also use the packaging to promote a new online giveaway encouraging greater social media sharing of the Nightfood brand by consumers.

“When people share pictures of their Nightfood pints, their friends and followers respond with great positivity and curiosity,” added CEO Sean Folkson.  “By doing a little giveaway encouraging people to share more, our goal is to raise our profile on Instagram and Facebook while driving additional brand growth.  Social media will play a major role in the coming days and weeks as we continue to add to our local distribution footprint.”

Placing the Product of the Year icon on packaging boosts consumer trial at retail, as winners of the 32 year-old award have been shown to outperform category sales performance by over 38%.
