🗓️Monday 27th April

📍 Zoom - Register here https://www.ifing.co.uk/masterclass/

BBQ season is one of the biggest sales opportunities in the butcher’s calendar.
But the counters that do best aren’t just selling more.
They’re creating more reasons for customers to spend more.
The challenge is that too many BBQ ranges start to look the same:

The same burgers.
The same sausages.
The same marinades.

And when that happens, customers will always compare on price instead of value.

In 30 minutes, we’ll show you how to:
✔ Use Flavour Atlas to create standout BBQ products
✔ Elevate everyday cuts into added-value lines
✔ Help customers trade up and spend more

If you want your counter working harder this BBQ season, this is for you.
