Nutrisystem Declares Multi-Brand Marketing Approach for '17
Read MoreHide Full Article
Weight management products and service provider Nutrisystem Inc. announced that it will focus on a multi-brand marketing approach with two new distinct programs – Nutrisystem Lean13 and the South Beach Diet – in 2017.
A glimpse at the stock price movement reveals a solid trend as Nutrisystem gained almost 43.99% over the last six months, compared with the Zacks categorized Consumer Products-Discretionary sub-industry’s gain of roughly 6.66% and the S&P 500’s return of 10.50%.
Notably, the estimate revision trend for the current year seems favorable, with two upward revisions in the last three months and no downward revision. Notably, the current-year estimates for the stock inched up 3 cents to $1.27 per share, over the past three months.
The company’s marketing approach will focus on its flagship Nutrisystem brand which comes with the clinically-tested Nutrisystem Lean13 program. Management, in a prudent move, made Nutrisystem available at Walmart stores nationwide and other regional retail outlets with 5-day weight loss kits in several varieties such as Jumpstart, Protein Powered, Homestyle, and Diabetic. Additionally, Nutrisystem has a line of individual products including NutriCrush Bars and Shakes, Sweet and Savory Snacks, and lunch items such as Thick Crust Pizza. This we feel will help in further market penetration in 2017.
Similarly the South Beach Diet brand will be positioned as a structured meal delivery weight-loss program. It would also be positioned as a distinct offering with its own unique look and feel, supported by a 360-degree marketing campaign, including television, online, print, and digital advertisements, which will begin rolling out in Jan 2017.
NutriSystem is a leading provider of weight management products and services. The company offers an at-home weight loss program based on portion-controlled, lower Glycemic Index prepared meals, weight loss plans, and private telephone and online support.
