O’Mara’s Irish Cream Liqueur Unveils New Package
BARDSTOWN, KY – O’Mara’s Irish Country Cream introduces a newly redesigned package that includes an enhanced bottle style and label design. Available this spring, the redesigned package delivers a more sophisticated and recognizable look at the shelf for O’Mara’s and better supports a brand known for its premium quality and approachable price point.
The label redesign includes a more prominently featured O’Mara’s Irish Cream logo in a Gaelic type style – supporting the authenticity and heritage of the brand. Additionally, the O’Mara’s packaging features a picturesque landscape which captures the essence of Ireland with a scene reminiscent of O’Mara’s homeland. The new bottle is a more polished and features a unique shamrock cartouche in the shoulder of the bottle. Together, the changes elevate the status of the product and more effectively communicate quality and authenticity.
“Since 2008, O’Mara’s Irish Country Cream continues to grow at nearly double digits in one of the largest spirits categories,” said Hannah Venhoff, O’Mara’s Brand Manager. “Consumer research demonstrated a strong affinity for the redesign among household decision-makers and entertainers. To support growth in that key segment of the marketplace, we seized an opportunity to elevate the status of the product.”
The rollout of the package will also include a new retail campaign supporting the premium taste and quality of O’Mara’s. The “O’ So Smooth” tagline is featured on in-store POS and encourages simple usage as a standalone drink or in a variety of cocktails
