2. Promote Multiple Grape Varieties At the Same Time.  When it comes to promoting grapes, offer customers more options. Promoting multiple varieties creates larger volume lifts.

3. Promote Grapes Every Week.  More shoppers are purchasing grapes every week and ads help.

4. Discount Grapes by 31% or More from Everyday Pricing.  Everyone loves a good deal!  Significantly discounting grapes can maximize volume lifts by over 120%.

5. Leverage the Impact of a Front Page Grape Ad with In-Store Price Reductions.  Increase the impact of front page ads by offering a discount on grapes in the store at the same time: this can result in a 104% volume lift.
