Albertsons Launches New Consumer Lifestyle Publication
BOISE, Idaho -- Albertsons Inc. yesterday debuted a new consumer lifestyle publication, titled easy, in its food stores nationwide.
The new magazine, published specifically for the holiday season, is a lifestyle-oriented consumer publication and is available exclusively in Albertsons, Acme, Jewel-Osco, Shaw's, and Star Market food stores. The magazines are expected to be available through the end of the year.
"Easy provides shoppers with the solutions they need to help make the busy holiday season less stressful and more festive," said Paul Gannon, Albertsons' e.v.p., marketing and food operations. "In addition to helping our customers with holiday planning, easy magazine will allow us to provide additional support to those in need this holiday season through a generous donation to America's Second Harvest food banks nationwide."
Easy magazine contains information and articles including recipes, holiday decoration and craft tips, celebration ideas, and dozens of special offers on holiday items.
Proceeds from the sale of each magazine will be donated to America's Second Harvest--The Nation's Food Bank Network. The company says it expects sales of the magazine to generate approximately $500,000 to support America's Second Harvest in its battle against hunger.
Easy magazine is just one component of the company's Traditions Made Easy holiday campaign--an integrated marketing program designed to make the hectic holiday season easier for Albertsons customers.
