Catering, Supplier and Manufacturer Campaigns
The slow drip drip of customer demand is a wonderfully effective way of changing what is provided. The strategy of being polite and informative, and ideally speaking to someone as far up the management chain as you can, works a treat.
what you can do
Choose any place you like to or would like to be supplied by, shop at or eat at. Inform them of what you want and why it is in their interest (other people like you, niche market etc). Also, check out who we have already encouraged, and join in with that too in any way you can.
Tell us about who you've talked to or written to and what response you have got. We can publicise it here and help others follow it up.
For ideas on how to think about it from the business point of view (which is very persuasive) try using our Catering for Vegetarians and Vegans resources.
TVVVs Improve the Choice Campaigns
These are some of the campaigns we are working on, it's always an ongoing process and the more potential customers they hear from the better, as long as we're all polite and considerate.
- Pizza Express - a vegan history
- AMT Campaign
- ShakeAway
- Garlands Organic Shop - getting a Vegan Society Discount for all in exchange for a website, and encouraging them to continue and widen their excellent vegan and vegetarian range.
