Our friend and colleague Tiffany Brookner sent us this lovely note. She has come up with a genius idea that you can use for fun gifts during the holiday season or birthdays…or even as a creative branding technique for your business. Edible paper with edible print! Read on and find out how you can have some of these goodies of your own.
“Hello Everyone!
Thanks for all the applause and support from the last Shortcakes update I sent out. It reminds me of a quote from a recent conference (The Party Goddess Uncensored), that I attended this past month – “Surround yourself with people that celebrate you rather than just tolerate you” – Simon T. Bailey. Strong words and thankfully, I have been blessed with those who love a good party! Speaking of celebrating, I just read an article yesterday that confirms what I’ve know all along…new research says sweets help your disposition…a new study by NDSU alumni and a faculty member suggests people with a “sweet tooth” have sweeter dispositions. Well Duh – everyone knows that sugar is behind every smile and smiling just keeps a person sweet! Now on to what I really want to talk about today.
One of the biggest trends in the creative baking industry right now is edible paper with edible print! That’s right, edible paper that can have a custom design with a personal message – that just shout’s logo cookie to me. Just think about it – the lure of your audience through sweets with your own personal message. Who would have thought of it? We would – Shortcakes, and who would this ingenious idea work for? Hmmm, how about any corporate function: Giving thanks to your business partners; trade shows (your business logo and number –catchy!) and personal thank you gifts. For my realtor friends, “Open House” gifts – we can take a photo of your property and turn it into an impressive sketch on a cookie! Perhaps for your fabulous closings too: cha-ching! The possibilities are endless. Give us your logo, tag-line, business card or how about a personal message (i.e. the break up cookie: it’s not me, it’s you) and I assure you… your audience is going to eat it up!
These awesome little marketing marvels come in two sizes: the 3 ¼ inch cookies ($36.00 @ 1 dozen/minimum order of 1 dozen) are all individually packaged in an eco-friendly, natural brown window box that will display your logo and business information, the 2 inch cookies ($38.00 @ 2 dozen/minimum order 2 dozen) are all individually packaged and sealed in a clear cellophane that makes for quick distribution at large corporate events and trade shows. A few other benefits of the logo cookies are, no refrigeration required, easy to ship, convenient to store and they have a good shelf life.
Please email us at Shortcakes@austin.rr.com. Include a jpg. image of your choice along with contact information and we will take care of the rest.
Happy fall everyone…hope to hear from you soon. Oh, and feel free to pass this along to all your friends and business relationships.
Kindly,
Sugar is Our Business
Tiffany Brookner”
