There is over 5 million dollars spent every year on food gifts in the Promotional Products Industry. Over one half of small and medium sized companies distribute food gifts to the employees or clients.
We feature three food items from Chocolate Inn in the 2008 Newton Idea Catalog. Chocolate Inn shared case histories with us to give you a few selling ideas for this holiday selling season as well as use all year long.
Case
History #1 - Chocolate Coins featured on page 85
A pet appliance company was finding it difficult to attract attendees to their booth. That is when they decided to give away chocolate coins with their logo imprinted on them at their booth. The attendees tend to get tired & hungry from walking around the large exhibit hall. They gladly stopped at the pet appliance company’s booth to get a piece of chocolate. The result was that not only did the company have a busier booth but, they had more qualified leads.
Case History #2 – Chocolate Cookie featured
on page 86
A company had many salespeople that were having difficulty in seeing the decision maker when they “popped in” to a client. They decided to order our chocolate covered butter cookies. This is one of our most popular products. Their company logo was embossed on the chocolate. The company reported that the salespeople were finding it easier to get in to see the decision makers and get appointments once they gave one of these pieces to the “gatekeeper” for the decision maker.
Case History #3 – FB8 Gift Box
A Financial Company felt that its gifts were not making the impact they wanted for the Holidays and that the gift was not getting to everyone they intended. That is when they decided to switch to our FB8 and use the dark chocolate almonds and jumbo cashews as the confections, surrounding the milk chocolate centerpiece embossed with their logo. This gift not only made an impact because of the taste of the chocolate and confections but, there were enough pieces in the box for a recipient’s entire office to share. This created goodwill among the entire office. The gift was very memorable because of the uniqueness of the custom logoed chocolate center, surrounded by confections, and packaged in an elegant gift box.
