Thanks Be To Oprah! A Letter From An Acai Berry Producer
Thursday, January 29th, 2009I am an acai berry juice producer. Until Oprah Winfrey offered her revelation to the world about just how good acai berry is, I was scraping a living from the sales I could get. You see, acai juice is — was — a relatively niche product. It is a great product, as far as I was concerned, but it was definitely in the niche markets; that is where it was destined to stay until Oprah became involved.
Overnight sales from my website soared. I was getting calls throughout the night from people wanting to order a year’s supply, from shops and other distribution companies wanting to buy in bulk. I couldn’t believe my luck, but there it was in black and white on my orders sheet.
The thing was, I was then having trouble fulfilling all those orders: I just hadn’t planned for so much success in such a short space of time. I was having to track down other suppliers of acai berry products so that I could get more in to be able to fulfill my orders. Guess what? They were having the same problems as me!
Acai berry is a fantastic product, and selling it makes me a happy old man, but for goodness sake, Oprah, warn me before you do something like that again!
