Kiss A Little Longer
Kiss a Little Longer was an advertising slogan used by the William Wrigley Jr. Corporation to market their gum products in the late 1970s. Overview In 1976 Big Red joined the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, the largest American manufacturer of chewing gum. The Wrigley family at the time also included Doublemint, Wrigley's Spearmint, Juicy Fruit, and Freedent. Seeing a need in the cinnamon gum market for a full-sized stick, Wrigley launched the campaign in 1979. The advertising campaign's jingle and refrain, "Kiss a Little Longer", became familiar to viewers across the United States in the years afterwards when it was used. Target Market Since its creation, Big Red's "Kiss a Little Longer" campaign targeted teens and young adults. This age group consumed half the chewing gum in the United States at the time. Big Red's other major target had been consumers of competitor cinnamon gums, especially Dentyne. Marketing Strategy In 1979, three years after Big Red was introduced, the brand's ma ...

Chewing Gum
Chewing gum is a soft, cohesive substance designed to be chewed without being swallowed. Modern chewing gum is composed of gum base, sweeteners, softeners/plasticizers, flavors, colors, and, typically, a hard or powdered polyol coating. Its texture is reminiscent of rubber because of the physical-chemical properties of its polymer, plasticizer, and resin components, which contribute to its elastic-plastic, sticky, chewy characteristics. History The cultural tradition of chewing gum seems to have developed through a convergent evolution process, as traces of this habit have arisen separately in many early civilizations. Each early precursor to chewing gum was derived from natural growths local to the region and was chewed purely out of the instinctual desire to chewing, masticate. Early chewers did not necessarily desire to derive nutritional benefits from their chewable substances but at times sought stimulus (physiology)#Taste, taste stimuli and teeth cleaning or breath-fre ...

Doublemint
Doublemint is a variety of chewing gum made by the Wrigley Company; according to early advertisements, it is "double strength" peppermint flavored. It was launched in the United States in 1914, and has had variable market share since then. The Doublemint Twins history As a play on the word "double" in the name, one of the most notable aspects of this brand is the advertising campaign featuring identical twins wearing matching outfits. Beginning in 1939 with stylized illustrations of twins, advertisements continued with print ads and later television commercials, featuring actual twins as spokespersons. The first set of women to portray the Doublemint Twins, were sisters Marie and Mildred Maier of Silverhill, Alabama. New Doublemint Twins were heard on the radio at WBBM-AM. Jane and Joan Boyd were regular performers as the Doublemint Twins on "The Music Wagon," a program on WBBM from 1957 until 1963. This program was hosted by Mal Bellairs whose notes indicate the understand ...

Wrigley's Spearmint
Wrigley's Spearmint is a brand of Wrigley's chewing gum. Wrigley's launched the brand in 1893, and marketed the gum as its ''classic'' brand, although the company's brand Juicy Fruit has been on the market slightly longer. As the name implies, the gum is flavored with the spearmint plant. In 2004, it was relaunched in the United States and United Kingdom, with the slogan "even better, longer lasting". Another advertising campaign was "some call it a spear, some call it an arrow." The spear/arrow has been a constant in the brand's advertising, as has been the mint leaf motif. The gum was traditionally grey/beige in color, almost the same color as Juicy Fruit and Doublemint. At the end of 2022 the manufacturer Mars Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. It is also known as the "Red Planet", because of its orange-red appearance. Mars is a desert-like rocky planet with a tenuous carbon dioxide () atmosphere.

Juicy Fruit
Juicy Fruit is an American brand of chewing gum made by the Wrigley Company, a U.S. company that since 2008 has been a subsidiary of the privately held Mars, Incorporated. It was introduced in 1893, and in the 21st century the brand name is recognized by 99 percent of Americans, with total sales in 2002 of 153 million units. Description Flavor Which fruit serves as the model for its flavoring, flavor is kept vague in advertising, though in 2003, advertising agency BBDO characterized it as a combination of banana and pineapple, and some people say it resembles jackfruit. According to two books in the ''Imponderables (book series), Imponderables'' series, peach is one crucial flavor among many others. It is likely that the chemical used for flavoring is isoamyl acetate (sometimes known as ''banana oil''), a carboxylic ester, which is also found in jackfruit.

Jingle
A jingle is a short song or tune used in advertising and for other commercial uses. Jingles are a form of sound branding. A jingle contains one or more hooks and meanings that explicitly promote the product or service being advertised, usually through the use of one or more advertising slogans. Ad buyers use jingles in radio and television commercials; they can also be used in non-advertising contexts to establish or maintain a brand image.

According to one account, General Mills had seriously planned to end production of Wheaties in 1929 on the basis of poor sales. Soon after the song "Have you tried Wheaties?" aired in Minnesota, however, sal ...

Marketing Strategy
Marketing strategy refers to efforts undertaken by an Organizational structure, organization to increase its sales and achieve competitive advantage. In other words, it is the method of advertising a company's products to the public through an established plan through the meticulous planning and organization of ideas, data, and information.
