Levels Of Sponsorship
We’ve created packaged sponsorship opportunities for those companies who are interested in supporting several events throughout the year at a discount price. The Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze sponsorships provide the following advantages:
- Ensures maximum visibility throughout the year
- Packaged rate provides substantial cost savings
- All events are well attended and include retailers, wholesalers, foodservice distributors, growers and shippers
- Sponsors receive exposure to potential buyers during their product’s peak season with a variety of events throughout the year. A short list of our retail and foodservice members include: The Kroger Company, Wal-Mart Supercenters, Harris Teeter, Publix Supermarkets, Ingles Markets, SuperValu, Lowes Foods, BILO, Inc. Winn Dixie, Mitchell Grocery Company, Piggly Wiggly, Sweetbay Supermarkets, Save-A-Lot Stores, US Foodservice, Sysco as well as leading retailers from the Northeast, Midwest and Southwest.
Sponsorships will continue to help us grow our organization and offer new programs and services to you, our valued members.
