May Promotion Ideas
- With the school year coming to a close and summer just around the corner, create exciting, summer activities displays including foods for picnics, graduation parties and warm-weather get-togethers!
- Promote Cinco de Mayo! Cross-merchandise, highlighting the frozen Mexican entrees and snacks combined with the many refrigerated cheeses and dips to complete a party menu. Provide sampling in the aisles during the week prior to the holiday, sharing the tasty Mexican dishes and snacks with your customers.
- Feature the “bake-shop quality” taste (and appearance) of frozen cakes and pies for a special Mother’s Day celebration.
- Showcase local sports teams and/or athletes finishing their high school careers or spring seasons by creating a graduation celebration display congratulating local graduating classes.
- Offer ideas and specials on frozen pizzas, wings, lasagna, garlic bread, appetizers, dips, cheeses, juices, ice cream, desserts and more for end of season sports parties and graduation celebrations.

May 10 is National Shrimp Day
Highlight this special day with “specials” on any “cool” shrimp products – frozen shrimp, fried shrimp, shrimp poppers, shrimp and pasta/vegetable entrees, and more! Share some recipes (and demos) that include tasty products and ingredients from the frozen and refrigerated aisles.
