I don't understand. What isn't marketed that way?
- gumby 10y agoFresh tomatoes and the like.
- timv 10y agoIn Australia supermarkets certainly advertise fresh fruit and vegetables in multiple forms of media. And not just "we sell vegetables", but "this week Australian grown XXXX are just $Y per kg!" Australian readers can probably hear that Coles announcer voice in the heads right now. Does this heuristic only apply if its a standalone advertisement? That would cut out bananas, mangos, avocados, pistachios, every mainstream meat, eggs, dairy and water (both bottled and tap).
- roystonvassey 10y agoRight, supermarkets are necessarily not selling the product as much as their brand. The message here is - 'Come to our store, we have all these products at discounted prices'.
- iends 10y agoAround here we see generic marketing from the various egg, chicken, diary, etc lobbies in tv, radio, and print form. It would be impossible to follow the parent poster's rules and eat anything (big time lettuce might not be into marketing, who knows).
- wavefunction 10y agoYou ever see an advertisement for broccoli?
- burger_moon 10y agoYou've never seen advertisements for the Jolly Green Giant?
- galdosdi 10y agoNatural commodities like cabbage, potatoes, beans, peppers, etc are barely advertised. Generally, if it's something anyone can make and there's no good way to differentiate it, there's not much point doing much marketing. Can't speak for the OP but maybe this is what they meant?
- zitterbewegung 10y agoI have seen potatoes from Idaho advertised, Avocados from Mexico and Milk from California Cows. So Natural commodities are marketed this way.
- failrate 10y agoMaybe we should eat more turnips and string beans?
- jonah 10y agoAbsolutely. These campaigns are all the products of Agriculture Marketing Boards[1] and are generally state-based. They're cooperative marketing agencies which growers and producers belong to to collectively promote their generic product. See also the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service[2]. Idaho Potatoes: https://idahopotato.com https://idahopotato.com California Walnuts: https://www.walnuts.org https://www.walnuts.org California Almonds: http://www.almonds.com http://www.almonds.com California Raisins: http://calraisins.org http://calraisins.org / http://raisins.org http://raisins.org are a few of the domestic ones I've worked with over the years. EDIT: Here's a list of all the official California Agricultural Marketing Programs[3] Speaking of foreign avocados, in addition to Mexico, Chile grows and exports a lot to the US. Of of their interesting arguments is that being in the Southern Hemisphere, their crop is counter-seasonal to our domestic avos. http://avocadosfromchile.org http://avocadosfromchile.org [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_board https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing_board [2] https://www.ams.usda.gov https://www.ams.usda.gov [3] https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/mkt/mkt/pdf/ProgramContactInformation.pdf https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/mkt/mkt/pdf/ProgramContactInformatio...
