The frozen food industry's monstrousMarch Frozen Food Monthpromotion is under way with a national three-page free-standing insert coupon section, consumer sweepstakes and retail point-of-sale materials. The campaign ties into Monsters vs Aliens, the latest theater release from DreamWorks Animation.
Meanwhile, campaign sponsor, theNational Frozen & Refrigerated Foods Association(NFRA), Harrisburg, Pa., also has begun talking about the industry's next mammoth effort: aJune Dairy Monthtie-in with the third Ice Age children's movie,Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs.
"Promoting the health benefits of refrigerated dairy is a perfect message for today's consumer.
