Few days ago I got a lovely letter from a German startup, which have been selling customized chocolate bars in Germany for over a year now and are launching www.createmychocolate.com for US market.
First, they asked me to test their website, and I was just fascinated by the simplicity of their idea – you can finally customize your very own chocolate. (Those who have seen 2010 Consumer Trend Report from TREND HUNTER know that customized stuff will be very trendy in 2010).
I didn’t promise them to write anything about their project, but they said, I can have 3 free chocolate bars. Well, finally some recognition I deserve :)
So..I made one full of nuts for myself, other with berries for my girlfriend(strawberries, cranberries, cherries) and the last one for my enemies (Jalopenos+Chives+CHili+Gummy Bears+ flower Mix).
Finally, when I was entering my shipping address and tried to select the country, I saw that only USA is available. As you probably already know, I live in Lithuania, so I hope this won’t stop them from shipping my chocolates! I want my chocolate so badly!!! Just kidding.
To sum up, I felt very good to be treated this way, + it’s a lesson for everyone, that good advertisement sometimes costs only 3 chocolates.
