'Tis the season for spicy lattes, fast food turkey sandwiches and pumpkin-flavored everything.If you're a fan, you'd better act fast: They won't be around for long.That's by design. Seasonal items are an important marketing tool for the food industry, according to Alexander Chernev, a professor of marketing at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.Limited releases almost give consumers a Pavlovian response. For example, when the weather turns colder, Starbucks customers habitually get excited about Pumpkin Spice Lattes. In November, customers come in to check out the new holiday cups."When you have these exclusive products, which exist for a short period of time, it gives people a reason to come to the store," Chernev explained.It's not just Starbucks that comes out with seasonal specials: Dunkin' Donuts announced a whole slew of pumpkin-flavored treats in August. McDonald's is getting ready for winter with the McRib. As the holiday season gets into full swing, we'll be sure to see Santa on Coca Cola bottles, turkey sandwiches from Subway and more. In the spring, it'll be Girl Scout cookie time.Related: The McRib is back at McDonald's For fast food chains in particular, which rely on familiarity, holiday items can offer consumers some variety."You need consistency because that's the brand mantra," said Chernev. "But no matter how much you like something, consuming something different ... increases the enjoyment of what you consumed before."Chernev says it's a neat marketing ploy: Although a specialty item may be exciting on its own, it can also remind consumers how much they like the basics.Seasonal offerings can also give brands a chance to test a new product. When Starbucks announced the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte this year, it also unveiled the Teavana Pumpkin Spice Chai Tea Latte.And Chernev pointed out that seasonal menu items mean brands have something new to talk about every quarter.Starbucks says that's part of the rationale behind its seasonal drinks"We strive to provide our customers with unique, seasonal offerings to celebrate each season, and customer response has been extremely positive to that," a company spokesman said.Related: Hey, latte fans: Maple is having a moment this fallThere are some basic supply-and-demand economics behind limited-time releases too: Scarcity can build hype."It's a way to create excitement for the menu," said R.J. Hottovy, a consumer strategist for Morningstar.Items that might be popular for a few months probably wouldn't generate enough year-round demand.For example, when the McRib debuted in 1981, it was a dud. McDonald's pulled it from its menu four years later. Though it never achieved nationwide success, there were parts of the country where the McRib generated a solid enough fan base to bring it back every now and then."There's a lot of mystery around why the McRib comes and goes, but to be honest it's a local option based on consumer demand," a McDonald's spokesman said.The McRib works very well in the Midwest, but doesn't necessarily work as well in the coastal areas, Hottovy noted. That's why it makes sense to restrict the amount of McRibs that go on sale.Hottovy explained that sales typically rise for a short time when companies unveil seasonal items. But after a few weeks, that demand drops off after the core fans of the limited time product are satisfied.So enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Latte while it lasts. And let's be honest, you probably wouldn't want one in April.The-CNN-Wire 3526

Traveling by plane isn’t always comfortable. Often times it can be cramped, or the temperature isn’t right, or you’re sitting in a noisy area.But if you’re traveling this holiday season, keep in mind there are places to sit on the plane that are more optimal than other seats, says a flight attendant.Best place to sit if you’re always cold:If you hate being cold on a flight, do not sit next to the emergency exit windows. The outside air seeps in the most in those seats.   Best place to sit if you hate loud noise:Planes are notoriously loud, but if you need more of a quiet seat, chose one that's away from the kitchen, where the flight attendants work most.  Best place to sit if you want a lot of leg room:I think we’re all guilty of propping our feet up on the seat in front of us, because we're cramped. So, if you want a lot of leg room, chose the bulkhead seats, the seats right after the cabin divider or the emergency exit window seats.    Best place to sit if you hate turbulence:Turbulence on a flight is never fun, and if you get anxious, sit closer to the front of the plane. That way you won't feel the bumpiness as much as you would in the back. Depending on the flight experience you're looking for, a great website to check out before booking your next flight is called Seat Guru, where you can browse seat maps to over 1,100 aircrafts.  1405
