Positive Promoting!
Consumers today are driven more by their feelings when purchasing products at their local stores. Think of the choices you have when purchasing shampoo or any other product. The images the general public sees in commercials, news reports, and print are very important to ensure they are willing to buy the products. The dairy industry has been taking a hit in the image department from the videos and “investigative reporting” that’s has been done recently and is scheduled in the near future. It is our responsibility in the dairy industry to work together to ensure we are keeping positive images on the front page instead of the negative ones.
