It'ss game on for the finals of the Ultimate Connection Marketing Contest. CandyWarehouse.com has been selected by the judges as one of five finalists from over 9000 eligible entries. Now
it'ss the public'ss turn for voting on which businesses should be the
winners and be eligible for a year'ss worth of marketing help for their small business.
Christopher Pratt, Present of CandyWarehouse.com started like many entrepreneurs with great ideas and humble beginnings. Christopher started his bulk candy business out of his apartment
in Pasadena in 1998. After receiving his first order online, he quickly figured out where to source the merchandise from, added a nice label and today offers great customer service and
over 2500 fresh candy items to choose from.
An Internet based store allows for high turnover and freshness of the candy, great pricing with low overhead, and a wide variety of choices that online shoppers have come to expect.
Customers can relive their childhood and purchase many of the old fashioned candy brands that are now hard to find or they can find novelty candy for special occasions such as thank you
candy, pirate candy, or chocolate cigars. For those who are planning a wedding and want a spectacular wedding candy buffet, CandyWarehouse.com has arranged all of their candy arranged by color to make decorating in the bridal theme colors very convenient.
The store also features patriotic candy in the all American colors of red, white, and blue's8230; just in time for your 4th of July celebrations.
As a thank you to his customers and some incentive to get out the vote, Christopher says, I'sm offering a 10% discount on Candy Warehouse purchases. Take a brief moment and watch the
video, vote, and then put what my very first order was into the coupon code when checking out. Christopher'ss special offer is good during the voting period which lasts from June 14th
through June 24th, 2007.
Christopher is really excited about the opportunity to receive marketing advice and assistance from the industry experts. As part of its Be A Better Marketer Campaign, Yahoo! launched the
