The Los Angeles Times has an interesting story about Halo Top, described as a “light ice cream” that “has exploded into surprising market dominance. Halo Top recently bested stalwarts Ben & Jerry’s and Haagen-Dazs for the top sales spot in its niche — grocery store ice cream pints … Halo Top’s appeal is simple: a no-shame pint of low-sugar, high-protein ice cream with just 240 to 360 calories for the entire carton. Vanilla, at the low end, compares with 1,000 calories for a Haagen-Dazs or Ben & Jerry’s pint.”
But what really makesHalo Top interesting is the business model - the company “has no offices or headquarters. It uses a third-party manufacturer and distributor, and it's a formula that works.” The working premise is that it makes the most sense to remain frugal and nimble, and that building brand value is more important that building costly infrastructure.
