Thanks Be To Oprah! A Letter From An Acai Berry Producer
I 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!
