Custom designed display and POS materials along with an on-pack mail in rebate offer (where legal) will be available to merchandise retail outlets and generate cross-merchandising displays, helping drive higher basket rings and increase overall profits during the busiest selling season of the year.

“Consumer research shows strong purchase intent for the Dos Equis brand (+62%) and Invierno (89%)[2],” added Boyce. “The Beers of Mexico Variety pack not only leverages the strength and momentum of the Dos Equis brand but it offers Dos Equis fans a unique opportunity to enjoy and serve Invierno, a new taste from their favorite brand.”
