COLUMBUS, Ohio The holiday season is traditionally the time to enjoy and serve eggnog for snacks and entertaining. This year, the American Dairy Association Mid East (ADA Mid East) is working to boost eggnog sales by conducting several promotional activities throughout the Mid East UDIA service area. In a pilot program, patrons in selected supermarkets will receive eggnog samples while shopping the dairy case. As consumers try samples of eggnog, demonstrators will track those who are tasting eggnog for the very first time. “We’re trying to expose new people to the delicious flavor of eggnog, thereby building incre mental sales,” says June Wedd, dairy marketing specialist for ADA Mid East. Additionally, con sumers at the demonstration sites are provided with American Dairy Association recipes which call for eggnog.
