Opportunity for Apple and Pear exporters

Attention apple and pear exporters!

Hort Innovation is seeking a suitably qualified, experienced and capable delivery partner for the project: International Apples Co-Promotion – FY24 (AP23505) and International Pears Co-Promotion – FY24 (PA23502).

This involves implementing marketing and promotional activities for Australian apples or pears in key export markets.

Co-promotion activities are market programs that Hort Innovation will co-invest with industry stakeholders such as growers and exporters. The purpose is to share activity costs, allowing the successful service provider to deliver greater outcomes. This style of program is more supportive of branded varieties. The campaign will create customer loyalty, consumer preference, sustainable brand awareness and create value back through the supply chain for growers. and must be inclusive rather than exclusive (e.g. not team or individual but a program that will benefit the consumer, customer, and industry as a whole).

Key objectives of co-promotion activities include:

  • Driving awareness, trial, and overall sales of Australian apples or pears.

  • Building brand awareness, consideration, and preference for Australian apples or pears.

  • Educating consumers on Australian apples or pears.

  • Building customer (importer, distributors, and retailer) relationships across key export markets.

  • Expanding existing customer relationships.

  • A marketing event or activity is used to demonstrate benefits against delivery to industry growth drivers and objectives, for example, driving value and volume growth in key export markets for the industry by 10-20% by 2030.
