Why Schools Are an Ideal Channel for Food Service Providers
Parents are always concerned about what their children eat. By promoting healthy and convenient food options through schools, caterers and food businesses can position themselves as trusted partners in student wellbeing. Whether it’s healthier lunchbox alternatives, catering for sports events, or offering family meal solutions, schools provide a direct link to parents who value quality and convenience.

Content Marketing Through Newsfeeds & the Wise-Up Tab
Food businesses can also build credibility by contributing articles that appear on school e-site newsfeeds. Sharing educational content such as the benefits of balanced lunches, tips for healthy snacking, or ideas for family mealtime can establish your business as a thought leader. If your content has a health and wellness focus, it can also be featured in the Wise-Up Tab — a dedicated space for wellbeing and educational content on school e-sites. This not only promotes your business but also provides genuine value to parents and students.
