Forbidden Flavours join big brother Bulmers
The flavoured cider market in Ireland is on the up and Bulmers is the country’s number one cider. However the brand believes it’s time to offer something new and a little edgier for twenty-somethings. Bulmers has therefore launched Forbidden Flavours, four new bottles of sweet tastiness in a choice of Cloudy Lemon, Strawberry & Lime, Juicy Pear and Berry Berry. Available in 500ml non-returnable bottles in both the on and off- trade, the launch is supported by above and below-the-line advertising alongside PR and trade marketing.
