Whole Foods Market has collaborated with Saffron Road to launch a Ramadan marketing campaign. Both companies are hosting several blog posts and giving shoppers the chance to win free Saffron Road products and gift cards valued at $100 on the national food chain’s website Whole Story Blog. The blogs are about preparing for Ramadan and learning the meaning of halal.
