Insight into the market, Haagen-Dazs became popular

In 1961, Haagen-Dazs was born in Bronx, New York, and its founder was Reubeno Mattus. In 1921, the Polish immigrant Matas began selling home-made ice cream and fruit ice on the Bronx Street in New York, and gradually gained some fame in the local area.

In the 1950s, the competition in the American ice cream market became more and more fierce. Matas, in his 40s, was keenly aware that the low-priced ice cream market has matured, and small-scale ice cream production is unlikely to have a big impact. In addition, due to the development of refrigeration technology, many manufacturers have added more air, stabilizers and preservatives to the ice cream to extend the shelf life of the product and reduce the cost, so that the quality of the ice cream is not as good as before. Therefore, Matas decided to produce ice cream products with natural, high quality and excellent flavor, and seize the market space of high quality ice cream. He launched three flavors of high-end ice cream: vanilla, chocolate and coffee, mainly for some high-end restaurants and shops. In 1961, the product was officially named "Haagen-Dazs".

Matas's high-priced business strategy is undoubtedly risky, but he has achieved great success. After the listing of Haagen-Dazs, it quickly became popular and brought an ice cream revolution around the world.
