Invite customers to join you for an Entomophagy Tasting Event. You can offer a variety of insects along with snacks you create like “Ants on a Log” or “Chocolate Chirp Cookies”. It’s an experience your customers will never forget.
GIVE AWAY BUTTONS
Bug buttons create word of mouth in the best way. Your cost is only fifty cents. ‘Give one away with every purchase. The free gift will pleasantly surprise your customers and put your store in the conversation.
DONATE BUGS
Donate edible insects to schools and groups. Many schools have segments on entomophagy (eating bugs) and groups from Scouts to 4-H love to work with edible insects. It’s an easy way to sponsor a fun and educational project.

Chefs love the black ants. Chapulines are perfect for Mexican restaurants. Silkworm dolls add a nice umani flavor to many soups. Set up a special event and call the press. The photos from the event will be worth gold.
