Gift Baskets for National Pretzel Day

April 14th, 2007 at 11:04am Lorie Obernauer

How about celebrating National Pretzel Day on April 26? Here’s a thought for a promotion.

Stock up on a variety of flavored and specialty pretzels: cajun, seasoned, garlic pepper, and red chile chipolte are a few suggestions from the superb line of East Shore pretzels. Or try jalapeno or honey mustard flavors in decorative black bags.

Create a gift basket that includes pretzels, dipping sauces, salsas, mustards and cheese spreads. Try raspberry honey mustard dip, sweet and tangy mustard, or raspberry wasabi dipping mustard. Or pair your pretzels with brie or wisconsin cheddar cheeses.

Send a flyer or an email to your customers offering a discount on your pretzel basket. Be creative: design your flyer in the shape of a pretzel.

Invite customers to your store to taste your specialty pretzels and condiments. Do some research ahead of time and have information available about the pretzel’s history.

Have fun with some pretzel trivia: “U.S. President George W. Bush famously choked on a pretzel in January 2002 while watching an NFL football game, momentarily losing consciousness.” (from Wikipedia.org).

Offer customers a recipe for making their own pretzels.

Please share your ideas for a National Pretzel Day celebration!
