Katherine Pendrill — February 14, 2018 — Marketing
This Valentine's Day, Trader Joe's is rewarding customers for dreaming up new food mash-ups. For those who find two products that make up the perfect match, it could mean free groceries for weeks.
In the spirit of romance, Trader Joe's is asking customers to pair two of its products to create a new food mash-up. In exchange, those who create the winning pairings will be rewarded with gift cards to the popular grocery chain. Best of all, there are no explicit rules for the pairings, so customers can feel free to get as creative as they like.
To participate in the contest, customers simply have to share a picture of two Trader Joe's products together with the hashtag #MatchMadeAtTJsContest and post it on Instagram.
