Stadiums & Large Venues: Do you want
to maximize your sales potential?
Customers
at large venues often encounter concession workers who are not aware
that new vegetarian items are available in some of the concession stands.
As a result, these items are not selling as well as they should be. We offer some suggestions to maximize their sales:
- Offer your veggie items in multiple locations throughout the stadium, so that interested
consumers will have easier accessability.
- Notify all concession staff of these new items and their locations so they can
direct inquiring customers.
- Post directional signs throughout the stadium so fans know that these
items are now available. Make sure you also include them with other concession
items on your web site or in other menu listings.
V (Suitable for Vegetarians)
Consider using an insignia such as a green "V" on your menu
listings, identifying those foods that are 'suitable for vegetarians'.
Markets in Europe
are finding that they sell more items by using the insignia this way.
Also, choose fun names for your menu items that suit your team, venue or region. Putting fun names on the menu will further increase their attraction and sales.
