Pricing & Promotions

Offering everyday value is the top focus of the AWG deli team. A series of sales and deals are an essential part of the promotional strategy in the deli as well. “Clip” event promotions are published monthly and hold pricing for 30 days. The AWG deli team also offers seasonal and strategic selling events featuring holiday-themed items associated with these times of year.  Additional promotional opportunities for one week or one day depending on the deal are also offered and come in the form of Breaking News, HOT Buys, Limited Time Offers, web and text blasts. All of this promotional activity gives member retailers a competitive advantage and draws in consumers to build loyalty. Member retailers also have access to participate in deli shows to bolster selling opportunities throughout the year.
