A cross-functional team met weekly to develop customer inspirations to encourage all families to experience the “Power of One More Family Meal.” </p> <p>The out-of-store experience was amplified by the launch of GIANT’s TV ad celebrating family meals.Broadcast radio, billboards, and GIANT’s website provided inspirational snapshots of the “Power of Family Meals.” Mailers and GIANT’s own Savory Magazine provided recipes, tips, and other resources to encourage and promote family meals. Social media intertwined videos of quick and simple recipes with celebrations of how the company and its customers are helping to make family meals easier for those who are food insecure in local communities. Each week, the in-store circular focused on providing quick and easy solutions with cost-saving offers across breakfast, lunch and dinner to further solidify the message that beneficial family meals can happen at any time of day. </p> <p>As a long-standing commitment to local communities and through strategic year-round partnerships with local food banks, GIANT proudly donated over $50 million, as well as, products to hunger relief organizations over the last five years.
