Why go Kosher?
Most Americans eat some kosher food every day, but chances are they're not aware of it. Take a walk down
the aisles of any supermarket and you will see that 
certification appears on over 60% of America’s produced foods that are certified kosher, from the coveted Oreo to the
thirst-quenching Coca-Cola. Over $150 billion of kosher certified products
are consumed annually, and spending continues to rise dramatically.
The
logo has become an increasingly important marketing device which generates additional revenues by
expanding the size of the market. Supermarkets favor brands with
certification because it gives the product a competitive edge that makes it sell faster.
That also means that
certification can lead to an increase in a company's private label business.
There is clear evidence that a kosher symbol boosts market share, that a kosher product can win more favorable shelf space, and that positioned next to a competing non-kosher brand, a kosher product will do better by 20%. This data has remained constant even in the smaller cities, far from heavier concentrations of kosher Jews. (Source: Integrated Marketing Communications.)
Going kosher is an investment your company makes in order to increase market reach and share. We are ready to support you in any way we can in achieving your goals.
Most importantly, be sure that all your certified products, whether retail or industrial, feature the
logo prominently on the label or packaging, as well as in your advertising. This will not only help your
sales, but will also make your products easily identifiable as kosher by food industry personnel, kosher inspectors,
and consumers throughout the world.
