DeBrand Sees 'Sweet Success' Thanks To Oprah

It doesn't get much sweeter than this.

 

"It’s been incredible, everyday we get one-to-two-hundred orders” says Cathy Brand-Beere, DeBrand's President, in regards to the company’s recent sales boost of “Faces of the World” chocolates.

 

Want to know the secret to boosting your business? Easy, just get Oprah to become your biggest fan.

 

“People from all over the country have been ordering ‘Faces of the World’” says Brand-Beere.

 

Brand-Beere was, to put it lightly, ecstatic while browsing the December issue of 'The Oprah Magazine.”

 

On page 106, dead center, you'll find none other than DeBrand Chocolates, listed as one of ‘Oprah's Favorite Things.’ “Faces of the World” are 5 carefully-crafted chocolate faces, each representing a different ethnicity.

 

"It celebrates different cultures and the culinary experiences with different cultures” says Brand-Beere.

 

--different cultures and different flavors…ones you probably won't find at any old candy store. Flavors include ginger, hazel, and caliente, which is chile powder with cinnamon and cumin.

 

"It's well-deserved recognition nationally” says DeBrand fan, Kara Etzler.

 

And Oprah's not the only business tycoon wanting ‘a piece of DeBrands.’ It seems Donald Trump is also quite the fan.

 

"We have created this per his request and its two-and-three-fourths-pounds of solid milk chocolate” says Brand-Beere talking about a giant solid chocolate Trump bullion, which is just days away from being released.

 

 

And judging by customer reactions, it looks like it'll be another 'huge' hit.
