Making The Most Of Trade Media Opportunities

The produce industry has a number of excellent trade publications, which are read by retailers and industry members alike. Through these magazines and newspapers, the NMB has the opportunity to promote our messages via advertising and trade publicity. When we pay for the space and have total control over the message, this is advertising. When we encourage editors and writers to give more space to mango coverage in their stories, that is publicity.
Here at the NMB, we are fostering our relationships with members of the trade media by providing them with information and resources, and being available to answer questions and provide quotes.
Some coverage for mangos is planned well in advance. One example of this is a "special section", which might include several pages of mango coverage. We support the publication by suggesting story ideas and helping them to pull together all the information they need to complete the section.
Very often, we can secure additional coverage for mangos at other times, when stories are not already on the calendar. We do this by sending out press releases, suggesting story ideas, and staying in touch with the editors and writers.
Either way, we are happy to have the coverage, which helps keep mangos top of mind with retailers. This program has proven to be an efficient and cost-effective way to keep the communication flowing between the NMB and the retail community.
