ABOUT THE CAMPAIGN
What Contributors Say
“Aussies are very patriotic, especially when it comes to local seafood. Buying Australian origin product has been cloudy over the last decade and the effective point of sale material the Love Australian Prawns campaign has produced gives consumers confidence they are buying local and supporting the Aussie prawn industry.”
Dylan Skinns
Austral Fisheries
“Since inception the Australian Prawn Marketing campaign has increased demand for Australian prawns through supermarkets increasing prices over all large and independent retailers and improving the return to fishers and farmers alike. To maintain demand it is more critical than ever to engage with the consumer and increase demand above supply. This is the main thing underpinning and securing the future for all of our industry.”
Warren Lewis
Aussie Tiger Prawns
“We gauge what sells in the shop and gauge what the customers are telling us. From what we’ve learned, the campaign has worked – its worked wonders – and we can definitely see a demand for Australian Prawns.”
