Trader Joe’s Thanksgiving Crossword Is Now Online
Trader Joe’s, one of America’s most popular grocery store chains, decided to
do something fun this year with its iconic product guide, the Fearless
Flyer. This company has been publishing this printed pamphlet, which carries
entertaining stories behind some of its products, since the 1960s. This
year, they used PuzzleMe to include an aptly-themed online crossword in the
website for the Fearless Flyer. This collaboration is an excellent example
of how a fun puzzle experience can help maximize brand recall and
engagement. With PuzzleMe’s theming features, Trader Joe’s was able to add
their colors and fonts to the puzzle, giving their audience a memorable
brand experience.
