We are starting into the summer months, WHAT type of Merchandising will you do to contribute to the extra sale of products. WHAT ideals do you have in mind to stimulates interest and entices customers to make a purchase or buy a item they didn't come in to buy??

HI We do all kinds of things getting ready for the summer grilling season. We offer a grilling cut of the week with a recipe. We sample the cut all week long in store. We ask the meatcutters to give us ideas on how they use it, them we print it up and they hand it out to customers. It gives them some ownership in the product. Last week we did tri tips and we told the guys if they sold 200 lbs of them they would each get one to take home on Saturday. They sold 450 lbs for the week and wanted to know if they could each have 2 since they doubled the amount. Heck I would of bought them all dinner for that amount that is over 3100 in sales in tri tips at $6.99 lb.  Sales were up for the week 8%. Next week we will push  teres majors we call them petite shoulder fillets. WE are are service case so it is easier for us to talk to the customers.  Go to the national beef web sites they will give you all kinds of tie ins.  We set up a grill with all the fixins with tie in on charcol, foil, marinades, rubs that is where we put the recipe of the week. Get creative have fun and reward the meatcutters for there hard work and ideas.

Chukster I like your ideals, myself I love pushing pork during the summer months, big cook out item, good gross. I want to say after reading your post I have a lot of respect for you as a manager, not many managers will give the help that gets them the sales or gross much more than a thank you, if that. it's nice to see some one give the workers something extra for their extra effort.

Just my 2 cents but as a man who loves meat and the smell of a BBQ not to mention its Summer in Hawaii year round sorry for those in the snow and all LOL , I make a B line to Malama Market here in Pahoa they always have the Qer going on days they are running the big sales an I just smell the advertisement I dont need to read it . Im sure that after all the bad weather you all have been going threw that it would almost be a God Send to smell a good BBQ . I know you good ol boys out there have got some very good BBQ skills biggrin .

It's trying real hard to be sunny here today on the West Coast BC. Even tho it's still on the cool side we are starting to pick up in the BBQ sections. We do a lot of marinaded and BBQ ready meats. As much variety as we can. Rib steaks,Rib eye,T-bone, Striploin.We have Flattened chicken that we put a garlic/rosemary rub on. Rotisserie ready roasts( both pork and beef),Butts for the pulled pork lovers.

Myself...I BBQ all year round. Even in blizzard conditions I have been known to stand out there cooking steaks with a parka on and oven mitts to heep the hands warmer LOLbiggrin

Hey Alive!

Are those prepared in-house, through a vendor or a central company production facility? Stuffing sole/salmon all day sucks. Also, I never thought I'd ever hear of eye of round chateaubriand. Is that really possible?
