The new-look packaging will hit Morrison's shelves across the UK for the first time this month under an introductory promotional offer during March.
Ranking as the UK's number One peanut butter for dogs, the supermarket listing follows 12 months of growth for the pet product, with sales of Peamutt Butter up 63% on the previous year.
Manchester-based Duerr's & Sons Ltd believe the sales increase is driven by listings in Tesco, Sainsbury's, The Range and Jollyes in 2022, plus being available online available with sites such as Amazon
Pets at Home, which has stocked the product for seven years, has seen a 25% rise over the last year. And independent pet food retailers have also seen an increase of 23%, proving that in the current economic climate consumers are still keen to spend on their fur family members.
The product rebrand is the first of its kind since Peamutt Butter was brought to market in 2016 and is supported by investment in a new website, PR outreach and social media marketing.
Duerr's, currently the biggest producer and distributor of peanut butter in UK, has introduced a new-look character 'Peamutt' on-pack to boost brand recognition on marketing channels and on the shelf.
Sales and marketing director and 5th generation Duerr's & Sons Ltd, Richard Duerr, said: “The original idea came from our family dog's love of peanutt butter. As the biggest producer of peanut butter in the UK, it seemed a shame our pets were missing out, so we created a prototype.
“Seven years on, we're rebranding to drive growth and secure new listings in the mults, like our recent win with Morrison's. We have a new 'Peamutt' as a character for the brand ensuring the product is more noticeable on shelf and becomes more familiar with consumers across multiple channels."
He went on to say: “Even in a cost of living crisis trends show pet parents are still looking to indulge their dogs. Peamutt Butter is a good value for money, a largely affordable, treat that shoppers can grab in the supermarket while doing their own weekly shop. The rebrand is aimed at keeping the product front of mind and ensuring we remain the go-to for peanut butter for dogs.”
