New Rochelle, N.Y. – LGS Specialty Sales Ltd. (LGS), leading importer and distributor of citrus, avocados, and grapes is thrilled to announce the debut of Darling Dish, a food and lifestyle blog sharing recipe inspiration and information on products such as Darling® Citrus, and Suavo Avocado® and Tiny Tim’s®. In conjunction with the blog, the company is launching its first sweepstakes – Squeeze the Day – to encourage shopper brand advocacy, provide resources to local non-profits and increase citrus sales.
Publishing once a week, Darling Dish features recipes and lifestyle content, and takes readers through the groves that produce the flavorful fruits of LGS. In an effort to create brand loyalty and drive increased retail sales, Darling Dish subscribers are the first to hear about upcoming promotions, gain a closer look at grower’s fields, and learn about new products.
“The blog is an opportunity for us to share our unique story and relationship with farmers around the world,” said Luke Sears, president and founder of LGS. “We want to extend the invitation for people to see a behind-the-scenes view of our company's culture and growing operations to cultivate a greater relationship and connect readers to stories from our groves abroad.”
Additionally, from September through October, people can enter the Squeeze the Day promotion for a chance to win a $500 Visa gift card plus the opportunity to gift $500 to one of four pre-selected charities: Brighter Bites, Guiding Eyes for the Blind, Hope Community Service, and Susan G. Komen. LGS looks forward to giving back to their loyal shoppers in addition to organizations that align with their core values of fighting hunger and food waste, and providing aid to those in need.
LGS will also be sending shipments of fresh clementines to classrooms across the United States, from now through December, to continue their commitment to supporting healthy communities beyond the charitable donation made for Squeeze the Day. Each month, shoppers can go online to fill out a form for a chance to enter the Clementines For Your Classroom promotion in which one winner will receive two 5 lbs. boxes of Darling Clementines®.
