Ghirardelli Chocolate Introduces New Line of Gourmet Milk(TM) Chocolate
New Study Shows Chocolate Eaters Are Ready for an Upgrade in Their Chocolate and in Their Lives
(firmenpresse) - SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/04/12 -- Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk. A recent survey conducted online by Harris Interactive on behalf of Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk from November 17th-21st, 2011 among 2,028 adults ages 18 and older found that 93% of U.S. adults want to upgrade their life in some way, with their finances topping the list (67%) followed by health (51%), diet/nutrition (47%), appearance/looks (38%) and career (38%).
Now, the Ghirardelli Chocolate Company is offering an upgraded milk chocolate -- Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk™ -- providing chocolate lovers with three new reasons to increase their pleasure with the introduction of Gourmet Milk Creamy Devotion™ with rich and creamy 32% cacao chocolate, Gourmet Milk Sea Salt Escape™ with sea salt and roasted almonds and Gourmet Milk Coconut Rendezvous™ which features toasted coconut flakes.
Despite a strong desire to improve finances, 63% of women and 54% of men say they would spend more on premium chocolate when they feel like indulging, recognizing what on-air lifestyle expert and MarketWatch personal finance columnist Jeanette Pavini says is "adding while saving." Pavini explains, "You could save up to $1,800 a year by packing a lunch instead of eating out. Upgrade the experience by including a piece of premium chocolate such as new Ghirardelli Gourmet Milk. You'll enhance your day in and day out experiences, while saving a lot of money."
More than half of Americans admit that chocolate lovers have a certain appeal, while frequent eaters (those who eat chocolate at least once a week) describe chocolate eaters as happy (42%).
Those who indulge at least once a week describe themselves as comfortable (31%) and relaxed (8%), while infrequent chocolate eaters describe themselves as stressed (23%) and worried (10%).
34% of frequent chocolate eaters reporting a total household income of $75k+ while only 29% of infrequent chocolate eaters can say the same.
Those who savor a good chunk of chocolate at least once a week are more likely to be employed full-time (41%) than those who eat chocolate less often (35%).
Pavini offers tips for people to improve their finances, health, diet/nutrition and career on Ghirardelli's Facebook page at . "It's all about making small changes that don't make you feel like you're cutting back, and then adding a small indulgence to make you feel good," said Pavini. "Whether you want to feel better about your relationships, your health or your career, focus on small changes that can turn an average experience into a sensual, enjoyable, satisfying one."
The Gourmet Milk line of products will be available in 3.5 oz bars that retail at $2.79 and 4.5-5.25 oz bags that retail at $3.99 and will go on sale at mass, grocery and specialty retailers nationwide beginning January 2012. For more information, visit .
