CMS Newsletter - May 2012

Or should I say cupcakes. Recent sales data for in-store bakeries confirms that both the muffin and cupcake categories continue to trend upwards. I have listed a few facts below along with a link to our website where you can find references to a couple of recent articles that feature more in-depth information. Of course at CMS we feel like we have the perfect merchandiser to allow you to showcase your muffins and cupcakes: our Gourmet Centers. As this trend has taken off over the last few years, our Gourmet Centers have become popular fixtures for bakery departments and stores of all sizes.

On our website's main Bakery Page, you will find a new sidebar that links to a recent article I came across that forecasts “what’s next” after cupcakes. I found this quite interesting and encourage you to read it. At CMS, we constantly keep an eye out for upcoming trends and marketplace needs in order to design and engineer new products, as well as to update and add features and options to our existing fixtures.

In addition to our website, we also try and keep you informed on the latest trends by including relevant information in these newsletters. We are now into the second year of producing our e-NewsLetter. As a result, we just added a new section to our site that contains a complete archive of all our newsletters. Click here to check it out.

Until next time,
Michael Smith
