Marketing Plan 2015 Celebrating 36+ years As An Association! Mission Statement To educate consumers, return value to manufacturers, increase sales for retailers, give back to the community and provide fellowship for our industry. Participating Retailers Giving Back To Our Community The Frozen and Refrigerated Food Council of NC has a strong tradition of giving back to the community. Through your generosity, we are able to partner with several organizations. These donations are a direct result of our many events throughout the year. The Frozen and Refrigerated Food Council of North Carolina proudly supports and is a member of the National Frozen and Refrigerated Foods Association. Steve Kravitz Steve Kravitz Category Manager Refrigerated Chuck Munn Senior Director NonPerishable Merchandising Mike Sigurdson Category Manager Frozen To our Valued Vendor and Broker Community: As supporting retailers of the Frozen & Refrigerated Food Council of North Carolina, we participate with all in-store events and organizational programs and conferences. Our stores have realized great sales results and professional cooperation from all of the manufacturer and broker members. We have also seen the NC Council marketing events bring much success to the manufacturers in all of our stores in and out of the North Carolina market. The NC Council works very closely with both the Southeastern Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Conference and the National Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association. We encourage and invite all frozen and refrigerated manufacturers/brands to be members of the NC Council and participate in its’ marketing events. The return on investment shows great value. Dave Bloomquist Dave Bloomquist Category Manager Frozen Laura Stone Category Manager Dairy If there is a manufacturer who is not currently a member or participating in any of the events, please feel free to contact anyone of us and we will assist in any way. We thank you for your continued work and support and we look forward to working with the FRFCNC in the years ahead.
