SUMMARY
As the industry leader, McDonald's saw the importance of providing balanced choices to even its littlest customers. In 2004 it introduced Happy Meal Choices (i.e. chocolate milk, low-fat white milk, apple juice and fresh apple slices). The launch campaign had to convince skeptical moms that the familiar "dream-come-true meal" for kids would be just as appealing. Results demonstrate not only increases in sales but also improvement in parents' perceptions of McDonald's offering a variety of foods for kids.
