The “cherry glow” promotion highlighted the benefits of cherries for health and beauty to boost consumption and movement of Northwest cherries. The promotion was launched across the United States, reaching retailers, media, influencers, and social media users.

Cherry glow banners were used for demonstrations nationwide at retail locations, and press releases/mats were distributed with this campaign and information.

Swag with the slogan “Give Your Summer a Cherry Glow” was also distributed to attendees at fairs.
