Sizing up the sizzle
Article Abstract:
Research by the Beef Information Centre's (BIC) office in North Vancouver, British Columbia, in 1996 found that more than 200,000 Chinese spent more money on food than any other ethnic group but typically used beef only as a flavor in cooking. They also tended to eat different cuts of beef compared to westerners. The BIC thus conducted a series of ad campaigns tailored especially for the Chinese group. The response to its campaigns indicates that they have been quite successful.

Selling the salons
Article Abstract:
