The holiday conversion challenge

The biggest shopping season of the year is also the most competitive.

You’re investing more in paid media, promotions, retail media and holiday campaigns to drive shoppers to your products. But once they arrive, the product page still has to close the sale.

THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING WINDOW Demand builds. Competition peaks. Decision time collapses.

Expert-led product video Jimmy Dean® Sausage Quiche
Live content analysis Shopper Value Extracted

As an author and a chef, I love creating recipes that are simple to scale and easy to share.

This quiche starts with Jimmy Dean® Premium Pork Sausage Roll.

With a two pound Sam's Club pack, you can double it and make two beautiful quiches for a bigger crowd or save the extra sausage for later.

Cook the sausage in a large skillet over medium-high heat for about eight to ten minutes or until thoroughly cooked.

Place the sausage in your baking dish and top it with green onions and cheddar cheese.

Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

When the table's full and the conversation's flowing, this is the kind of dish everyone keeps coming back for.
