The Potatoes USA retail marketing program drives demand for potatoes by supporting retailers and growers with shopper insights, merchandising best practices, research-backed promotional strategies, and practical tools. The program provides training on proper storage and handling, merchandising best practices, research-backed promotional recommendations, data analysis, and marketing support.

  • Understand proper storage, handling, nutrition, and cooking methods of potatoes
  • Gain insights into who buys potatoes, why they choose specific types, and how to appeal to different consumer segments
  • Use data to create compelling  in-store displays, targeted promotions, and engaging digital content
