Avocados From Mexico Kick Off Two Promotional Campaigns for Fall

Avocados From Mexico (AFM), the No. 1 selling brand of Avocados in the US, is kicking off the fall season with two new and exciting promotional campaigns designed to elevate engagement and increase basket ring within grocery stores. This fall’s Hispanic Heritage programming features a new partnership with Takis Snacks, the hottest brand in salty snacks, as well as a first-time contest from October through December in which consumers can win a new house worth $500,000, along with other prizes. Both promotions bring the flavor of fall snacking fun to grocery stores and consumers with eye-catching displays, consumer savings, a strong loyalty program and digital and social engagements.

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, AFM is honoring its origins by connecting with Hispanic consumers in partnership with Takis Snacks via custom displays featuring both brands. This iteration of AFM’s “Flavor with Heritage” campaign runs from Sept. 13 through Oct. 18. Given the popularity of Takis Snacks across multiple segments, the promotion will be implemented in grocery stores to also attract a “crossover shopper appeal.” Digital and social support will boost the program, and shoppers will love discovering the intense combination of hot chili pepper and lime from Takis Fuego tortilla chips with creamy, delicious avocados all month long. 

 “We’re proud to celebrate the many flavors of Hispanic Heritage in partnership with Takis Snacks which, like AFM, has strong appeal to the Hispanic market and beyond,” said Stephanie Bazan, VP of Trade and Market Development for Avocados From Mexico. “Our digital and social media activations, in-store merchandising, coupons and sweepstakes to win a free year’s supply of Avocados From Mexico are a fantastic way to spice up sales during Hispanic Heritage Month and celebrate National Guacamole Day on Sept. 16.

Kicking off Oct. 11 and going through December, AFM will “Guac the House” with its brand-new consumer contest. Shoppers who purchase fresh, always in season avocados at participating stores will have the opportunity to enter to win a new home worth $500,000, in addition to $150,000 in other prizes such as a kitchen makeover, backyard upgrade, home entertainment package, ultimate home office, home improvement gift cards and kitchen and laundry appliances.

In order to drive demand, AFM will be offering a national volume incentive program in which accounts can earn up to $15,000. Accounts simply choose a two-week window within Oct.1 to Dec. 10 and display Avocados From Mexico to participate. Interested accounts can contact their AFM Regional Director for more information.

 “AFM’s ‘Guac the House’ national shopper program has been designed to provide the shopper with value during the current environment,” said Bazan. “This is why offering savings and prizes that add value continue to be critical during a COVID-conscious time. It is key that AFM drive engagement and incremental purchase during the key October, November and December time period, given that in-home consumption will continue to be very strong.”
