Marketing Your Program

Wisconsin School Meals Rock Logo

 

Overview

Marketing is one of the key factors to success in your school meals program. It refers to all the activities your SFA does to promote and sell products or services to consumers, aka the students. At the most basic level, the goal of marketing is to match your products and services to the customers you aim to serve. When this happens, both your SFA and students benefit. Use this page to find tools and resources to market your program and show how Wisconsin School Meals Rock!

The Customer Experience

The Customer Experience refers to the relationship between the business (your SFA) and its customers (your students). It involves every way that a student interacts with your program, regardless of how brief. The time a student spends in and with your program shapes their perception and feelings about your products and services.
