Logos that melt in your mouth
(NC)—Pens, baseball caps, golf shirts and coffee mugs are no longer the objects of choice to showcase company logos for special events or client gifts. The latest trend in promotional product advertising is so unique and seductive it actually melts in your mouth.
A delight to the eye and palate, designer flavour-filled printed chocolates have become a preferred alternative for companies looking to make a delicious impact with promotional products for corporate or social events.
Anne-Marie Tremblay, President of Cacao Design and printed chocolate expert, says "printing logos and messages on fine chocolate has become a great tool to keep your name in front of your target audience in a fun and unobtrusive way."
Her Montreal-based firm is the only manufacturing company in North America to specialize in printed chocolates. Available in white, dark or milk Belgium chocolate the designer, high-quality products can be imprinted with company logos messages or special unique custom designs. A wide choice of colors and wrappings are available to create the image you desire.
"Clients really enjoy discovering their logo or personalized design on their favourite chocolate," added Mrs. Tremblay. "Our assortment of fillings delight the most discerning of chocolate epicures." The type of chocolate and the variety of printing
and colours used to create the
logos or designs are only limited by your imagination.
Cacao Design's custom imprinted chocolates were recently used as promotional gifts for high-profile hotel, banquet and party guests during Montreal's Formula 1 race, the comedy festival and professional tennis tour.
The uses for these custom-designed chocolates are countless. In the events industry, these promotional products can play a role in advertising your business, recognizing your employees and customers, or as mementos of a special event. They are also popular for social events like weddings, retirements, birthdays and anniversaries.
"The printed chocolates are so unique they become an unforgettable reminder of a profitable business relationship or an enjoyable social event," added Mrs. Tremblay.
"Promotional items like Cacao's unique chocolates have so many benefits," says Nigel Beale, President of Mercury News Analysis, who chose logo imprinted chocolates as table favors for his delegates at a recent industry conference. "They can stimulate company pride, boost morale, call attention to the company and promote customer goodwill. They can also have great testimonial value."
