One of the largest challenges for high end food producers is to make the public aware of their product. Sure, there are lots of ways available for those that are willing and able to put up a large amount of money in time, travel, promotion and advertising, but what if you just can’t write that check or are unsure where your money will be best spent to increase public knowledge of your product and, ultimately and most importantly, increase sales?
The experienced and knowledgeable staff at GourmetFoodPR.com has come up with a solution that is low cost, cutting edge, and highly visible to the people who are looking for new and unique gourmet foods and products. The participation on your part is free. You and/or your company will have the ability to send samples to a group of people who, while diverse in the extreme, prove daily that some people just can’t stop thinking, talking, or writing about food and food related products-namely, the thousands of food bloggers now being read all over the internet. Some of these bloggers have readerships in the thousands and thousands and some don’t, but that’s no matter. The staff of GourmetFoodPR.com will select the places, as many as you wish, that you would like to have sample your product and supply you with the mailing contact info. You simply have to send them the samples, packed as you would always pack them for shipment, and the rest will be taken care of by GourmetFoodPR.com.com.
GourmetFoodPR.com will make sure that, at the very least, the blogger fills out a very simple form that gives their impression of the product from it’s state of arrival to it’s usefulness/taste/packaging/etc. What GourmetFoodPR.com is hoping for, as well, is that the bloggers will like it so much that they will give the product a review or a mention on their site along with links not only to GourmetFoodPR.com, but to your website, as well. Think about how much more product you will sell, both online and otherwise, if you are getting steady promotion and traffic all over the food/internet world! For just the cost of a few search engine term clicks (and that cost is only for your product and shipping costs, there are no other upfront costs to you), you will be able to ship your product to people who are, by and large, completely obsessed with food. These people, in return, will have promised GourmetFoodPR.com to do several things, among them:
a) fill out the evaluation sheet
b) consider blogging about the product and
c) at the very least, give GourmetFoodPR.com a link on their site to help increase qualified traffic at all of the sites related to GourmetFoodPR.com.
GourmetFoodPR.com will list the product reviews on our network of websites, where applicable, and links to your website, as well. Also, if the blogger happens to write about your product on their website, we will link to that site also. By taking all of these actions, your company and product will be gaining a maximum amount of visibility while spending a minimum amount of money to get the job done. What’s not to like?
In return for this service, if you choose (and there is no obligation), GourmetFoodPR.com will give you a discounted product listing on our retail shopping site, www.ibuygourmet.com, one of the fastest growing food sites on the web. This listing, for as many products as you would like to list, is only $199.00 per year and gives you the option of linking straight back to your shopping cart on your site, or, if you would like, you can use our shopping cart-it’s your choice.
We’re sure that you are busy making and selling your products and really don’t have the time or the energy to deal with this kind of thing, so why not let the staff of GourmetFoodPR.com.com take care of it for you. After all, you make a great product. That’s what you are good at. We sell great products. That’s what we’re good at.
Please take a look at all of our websites listed below, beginning with GourmetFoodPR.com. These should give you a really good idea of the products and services that we offer and what we can do beyond the free offer that is described above.
We look forward to hearing from you in the near future.
