Well – It is a good thing that my New Year’s resolution did not have to do with blogging because I’ve been a REALLY bad blogger in 2009! I guess that I can blame my lack of blogging on the mandel bread business which is supposed to be the reason why I blog. Go figure!! Anyways after working day and night most days of the week on the mandel bread business, I nearly forgot about my blog!
So here are some fantastic recent developments . . . .
1. Marla’s Mandel Bread was featured as a Snack of the Day on Rachael Ray on February 26th. Who knew, but Rachael Ray loves mandel bread!! Must be something about the name Rachael.
2. Valentine’s Day was so very busy for us. Again, who knew that mandel bread makes a fantastic Valentine’s Day treat. Well – I did!! Plus our packaging for V-day was so very adorable. Missed it this year . . .? Be sure to check it out next year.
3. A new place to buy Marla’s Mandel Bread . . . 2009 had been the year of the new retail customer. Maybe that’s why I can’t blog, I’m too busy getting new customers set up!! For Marla’s Mandels, go to Foodstuffs in Chicago. Plus two more new locations to be revealed within the next week or two!!
3. Ahh, there is a recession. We hate it too! But our customers spoke and we had to listen . . . we’ve lowered our shipping rates to $8 ANYWHERE IN THE U.S. from $12-21 previously. You gotta have your mandel bread and we don’t want you to shy away because of shipping charges!
OK – That is it for today. I guess if I don’t blog too much at least I’ll have lots of updates when I do!!
