Los Angeles Marketing Agency To Handle Marketing Efforts For British Columbia Chocolate Retailer

Aug. 1, 2012 - PRLog -- Mink Chocolates, makers of fine luxury artisan chocolates, has announced a new marketing partnership with Forte- The Collective, the Los Angeles marketing and PR agency. Based in South Surrey, BC, Mink Chocolates are sold exclusively at its Canadian retail concept, “Mink A Chocolate Café” and online for orders worldwide.

Forte-The Collective will be creating and managing several of Mink Chocolates marketing programs that will drive sales and promotions to its retail location, online and special events.

Mink Chocolates was opened in South Surrey by female entrepreneur Faith Gibson whose two favorite indulgences in life are chocolate and coffee.

“Mink Chocolates has been a huge success thus far, but we feel like we’re ready to take things to the next level and are excited about what Forte brings to the table and their ability to help us get there,” says Faith Gibson.

Mink A Chocolate Café is Gibson’s flagship retail store located The Shops at Morgan Crossing-- a unique outdoor shopping center in South Surrey, BC.  More than serving hand-crafted artisan chocolates and delicious coffee, Mink Chocolates also serves up a wide variety of appetizing treats including fondue, waffles, teas, blended drinks and fruit parfaits. According to Gibson, she has begun plans to expand Mink Chocolates to the southern California market in 2013.

“As an agency, we are thrilled to have partnered up with Mink Chocolates,” said Mark Quest of Forte- The Collective who was also behind the popular candy promotion “Do The Abba-Zaba” dance contest. “With the winter holidays right around the corner, we will be focusing on some exciting sales promotions to target British Columbia’s bustling business community.”

For the holiday gift-giving season, Mink Chocolates can create beautiful gift baskets and specially designed bon-bons that are perfect gifts for customers and employees. In addition, Mink’s talented chocolate designers can completely customize each one with any company logo for that special touch!
