Chocolate show becomes sweet success, thanks to PR
Article Abstract:
The four-day second annual Chocolate Show in New York, NY, in 1999, attracted more than 12,000 visitors, partly because of the public relations efforts of New York, NY-based Teuwen One Image. Teuwen One Image noted that creativity was crucial in disseminating information about the event because of a non-existent advertising budget. Show attendance increased by 20% and sales doubled as a result. Show participants viewed more than 40 brands of chocolates and experienced seminars for adults and children, panel discussions, interactive exhibits, a cookbook store and live music.
