Small scale producers working in Europe’s mountain regions create some truly unique and incredible products. Yet, they often face significant challenges in marketing, distributing and selling their products. This animated video introduces ideas and approaches to marketing mountain products.
The aim of this video was to motivate stakeholders in the supply chain of mountain products to improve their coordination and marketing. It uses a lighthearted style to visualize selected contents of the guidelines for producers of mountain products that were developed within the EuroMARC project. It shows the creative variety of potential measures, partners, and networks for enhancing the marketing of mountain products. It is targeted towards an audience unfamiliar with the development, promotion, and communication related to mountain products.
