Sunsweet Prunes Off the Pounds with Amaz!n Deal

The brand has kick-started a social media push to promote healthy living and bone strength via its Amaz!n Prunes product line

Sunsweet has rolled out a year-long online campaign to promote healthy living. Dubbed #IEatRightBecause, the exercise was developed in partnership with a number of lifestyle experts to spark inspiration and offer fresh ideas surrounding the pursuit of wellness.

Additionally, the company has unveiled a national advertising push to communicate its ongoing efforts in making available products which are taste-, convenience-, and nutrition-sensitive. Its dedication and investment toward the aforementioned goal is fitness-centred.

Encouraging the submission of photos, inspirational quotes, and friendly advice, the overall initiative invites the participation of consumers across social media. The strategy aims to welcome personal stories in support of the main theme to drive motivation and achievement.

Meanwhile, the execution will spotlight the brand’s Amaz!n Prunes line as ‘the feel good fruit’ which contributes to a balanced diet. The direction is based on research indicating that the consumption of five to six prunes daily aids with bone mineral density maintenance in women.
