My branded chocolate bars arrived

They arrived on Friday, and I saw them on Monday when I went to the office. I haven't had a chance to post until today. I hope you like them. I plan to distribute to some realtor offices beginning of January.

the flooring girl wrapped hershey

On the back, it has all of my contact info. I got these at wrappedhersheys.com and it was about $2.50 per chocolate bar (a bit extra for shipping). It took about a week from ordering/approving artwork and shipping. It could have been done even faster if the proof hadn't gone to my spam folder. In any event, they arrived well before I needed them anyway. I hope they remember The Flooring Girl of Westchester.

Hi Debbie,

That's a different approach to marketing. But the cost would make it a bit prohibitive for me. The Realtors would want way too many of them. LOL

Have a great day in New York.

Best, Clint McKie

Good morning Debbie,

Very neat marketing piece..make them more a coveted item. W always have drawings at our sales meeting..maybe this is how you could distribute them..I would be more selective at this price point! Love your logo on the wrap..very distinctive!

I doubt you are thinking of expanding to the Oregon coast, but why not send me a box just in case!

Very cool! Still waiting to see you at my door with my very own box. Call first - I might not be home (I work now and then).

I know, I know, the ad doesn't say chocolate at my door, but it's your brand, not mine.

Debbie, quite a costly hershey bar...I would look for an alternative branding going forward since these are eaten and gone in a heartbeat and that wrapper doesn't stay around for long. imho, you would like to have something a bit more long lasting.

Ginny - Right - that's why I did the tape measures. This was just a fun splurge. I like Dorie's idea of fun give aways/contests.

Jay - You may be waiting a long time. I may call you anyway, though just to say hi.

Rob - We actually do have some FCI's in Oregon.

Hi Debbie,

Having branded chocolate bars sounds like a great idea. Let us know how they work for you. Depending on how many you bought, maybe they would be good to offer agents at new home open houses or at model homes.

They sound delicious-are they dark chocolate? If so, I'd love one!

I love this as a marketing idea. Do you include a business card with the candy?
