Here are some wholesale to-go containers and other supplies to stock up on for St. Paddy's Day.
St. Patrick’s Day, as we know, is on March 17th and is just a few weeks away! It’s a legal holiday only in Suffolk County, Massachusetts and Savannah, Georgia, but it is nonetheless celebrated throughout the country. Celebrations include eating and drinking, religious observances, extravagant parades, and the prominent displays of the color green.
As a food business, celebrating holidays such as this is one way to pique the interest of your customers. Aside from offering green-colored drinks and food items, using green wholesale to go containers and food supplies is an excellent way to join in the celebration.
Why is green associated with St. Patrick's Day?
The origins of wearing green clothes and costumes in the U.S. on St. Patrick’s Day and for the celebrations date back to the 19th century when Irish immigrants came to America looking for a better life. This was the time after the Great Famine of the 1840s to 50s. The Irish immigrants wore green clothing and carried Irish and American flags as a point of pride for their home country.
Why use green to-go containers and other food supplies on St. Patrick's Day?
Aside from joining in the celebrations, there are other benefits from using green wholesale to-go containers and other supplies:
#1 Recognize Irish Americans
Cultural inclusivity in brands is important. Much like recognizing the different genders, recognizing one’s background and ethnicity allows your business to show customers that you sincerely care. Inclusivity also leads to brand loyalty, as you are making an effort to connect with your target audience.
#2 Introduce limited edition St. Paddy's drinks
If you are offering limited-edition St. Patrick's beverages and food items, you can effectively introduce them to your customers by using green containers and supplies. They make drinks and food look more appealing because the colors match.
#3 Add some fun elements to your products
Because the colors match the drinks and food, you add some fun vibes and visual appeal to your products, making them more "Instagrammable." And when customers upload photos of your products on social media, you gain online exposure, leading to more people wanting to try your limited-edition drinks and food.
What are the best green to-go containers and supplies?
