Sales Strategies

Organic green onions may not be a show stopper by themselves, but they pair well with other items. Include organic onions in salad promotions and cross-merchandise them with organic bagged salads.

Create a Cinco de Mayo promotion that includes organic green onions and other organic vegetables that are popular in salsa. Organic green onions can also be a popular addition to wintertime organic soup promotions as they add flavor and texture to soup.

Include organic green onions in summertime grilling promotions with organic meat as they are a popular topping for steak.

Dynamic Displays

Unlike bulb onions, organic green onions need to be misted, so display them separately from organic bulb onions. Also be sure to place organic green onions away from or above conventional produce as the water from conventional produce can contaminate your organic product.

Include green onions in displays that contain other organic salad vegetables as that is their most common use. Green onions’ vertical profile makes them an eye-catcher in your display.
