A New Zealand company has come up with a new, innovative concept to market a product that’s thousands of years old: the apple.
It’s a combination of agricultural technology and smart marketing.
The Havelock North Fruit Company developed the capability to grow mini apples that are just 1.5 times the size of a golf ball (via cross-breeding selected varieties). Next came packaging inspiration that put five apples into a hand-held , transparent tube. The concept was tied together with an attention-generating brand called Rockit™.
