CASTROVILLE, Calif. – Ocean Mist Farms added a promotional page to its website for the 2011 peak artichoke season that allows shoppers to find artichokes on sale in their markets.
The “Where to Find Artichokes on Sale,” webpage, first posted March 1, is being updated weekly throughout the spring artichoke season in Castroville, Calif.
Artichoke shoppers are alerted via Ocean Mist Farms’ posts on Facebook, Twitter and by email to Artichoke Club members.
Consumers can go to the webpage, choose the region of the country where they live and see artichoke promotions listed by retailers specific to their location.
It is an exclusive service that supports retailers’ ads and consumers asking where they can find artichokes now, said Kori Tuggle, director of marketing and business development.
“We know shoppers are looking for value and we want to use every tool we have to communicate with them when our retail partners are promoting artichokes,” Tuggle said. “This is another vehicle that creates dialogue with our consumers. Retailers active on social media outlets also pick up our posts and share the artichoke sale prices with their engaged consumers.”
The “artichokes on sale” page allows Ocean Mist Farms to deliver all retail promotions directly to the artichoke shopper target market.
Since the page was launched, it is receiving more than 10,000 impressions weekly through Ocean Mist Farms’ artichoke club membership and friends/followers on Facebook and Twitter.
