| View in browser December 2, 2021 FEATURED STORY Retailer Best Practices For Holiday Giving   It's the most wonderful time of the year...for sales and charity! As communities look to their local grocer for ways to give back this season, consider these ideas and best practices gathered from IGA retailers across the country to make a big impact with a comparatively small amount of effort—and in most cases, a quick turnaround time.  FEATURED RESOURCE Recharge Your Routine With The 2022 Q1 Quarterly Marketing Kit   Why do big retailers invest in seasonal signage? Because they know it increases average basket size.
