Alaska Seafood Menu Promotion in Bangkok, Thailand

ASMI, the Alaska Seafood Marketing Institute, recently conducted a menu promotion in collaboration with four restaurants in the Bangkok area from April to June 2023, and spared no effort in supporting these restaurants in various ways to provide an unforgettable culinary experience. ASMI enlisted the help of influencers to review the menu promotion, provided advertising funds to each restaurant for self-promotion or hiring additional influencers, and showcased the restaurants on our Alaska Seafood Thailand Facebook page and FAS Bangkok’s Tasty USA Facebook page. In addition, ASMI covered the cost of point-of-sale (POS) materials, further enhancing the promotional efforts.

 Let’s take a closer look at the four exceptional restaurants that delighted customers with their Alaska seafood offerings.
