Zalemark Holding Company Will Produce New M&M'S Brand Jewelry Collection
Retail Buyers Soon Can Preview New Fashion Jewelry Line
MOUNT ARLINGTON, N.J., Aug. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Mars Retail Group and Zalemark Holding Company, Inc. (OTC: ZMRK) completed a jewelry licensing agreement enabling Zalemark to design, market and distribute a line of M&M'S® Brand fashion jewelry. Currently under development, the stunning collection may include earrings, bracelets, necklaces and rings incorporating the colorful fun of the iconic candy brand and the whimsical M&M'S® Characters.
The M&M'S® Brand jewelry line will be available for retailers to preview in late 2015, with distribution in first quarter 2016. With price points ranging from $49 to $129, the new line will appeal to a wide range of consumers -- from trendy twenty-somethings to style mavens and collectors of M&M'S® Brand memorabilia.
The world-renowned candy brand is no stranger to success in the jewelry industry. In 2010, an M&M'S® Brand jewelry collection sold briskly in major department stores, a national grocery retailer, independent retailers and online.
"We're thrilled to work with Zalemark, a company known for producing unique jewelry," says John Capizzi, general manager of Licensing for Mars Retail Group. "I'm looking forward to sharing the stunning M&M'S® jewelry designs with retailers and consumers."
"M&M'S® Brand parallels well with our other global brand, Crayola®," remarks Steven Zale, CEO of Zalemark. "With the historical testing of this product line, we predict it will move into the market place swiftly. The upward momentum of Zalemark is on a rolling path as we continue to add well-known brands to our line-up."
