Comments Off on 2015 Food Trends: Why Smoked Veggies Will Be Your New Food Delivery BFF Comments
One of our favorite things to do at the end of the year is closely examine all of the food trend predictions for the upcoming year. And this year certainly doesn’t disappoint – food concepts like 24/7 grocery delivery, the everyday chef, and an expansion of the craft food market are all exciting ways that foodies will be making a big mark on the culinary world in 2015. But one particular trend has us extra enthused: the rise of smoked foods, and more specifically, smoked veggies.

When you’re planning lunchtime meetings with clients, your immediate thought is likely to pick up the phone and make a reservation at a local hot spot with yummy food and a lovely atmosphere. But those lunches don’t typically make for great working lunches, and when you’re trying to accomplish a lot with a client (or even just a few colleagues), they’re probably not your best bet in terms of packing the most productivity into your day. But when it comes down to it, what are your options? Well, when you have access to a delicious catering service like Waiter.com, who will bring a delicious meal right to your office, you can easily keep your meetings in-house. Below, we’ll detail exactly why this is an ideal setup for you and your client – and how to do it best.

As you’re making all of the big plans that go along with prepping your company for the end of 2014 and start of a new year, make sure you’re also thinking about how to continue engaging your employees with your workplace wellness program. Since your ultimate goal is to create a big impact with your program – both for your employee’s health and your business’s bottom line – it’s important to not just strategically plan how you’ll grow your company, expand your marketing, and build more capacity into your operational structure, but also how you’ll continue to instill healthy values into your company culture.
If it’s not something you’ve done before, know that promoting an internal program is a lot like marketing your business externally; it’s just done on a much more condensed platform. Since your core demographic is looking you in the face every day, it can actually be a lot easier to market a program to your internal team than it is to go externally to a much broader audience. You already know exactly where to reach your staff, five days a week. To help you build an internal marketing program that’s engaging and encourages your employees to participate in all of the opportunities your business will be offering, consider the tips we’ve outlined below. You’ll be sure to kick off the new year with a smashing success!
Building excitement for what your company will offer in 2015 – like a fun, invigorating barre class – starts today.
