Dear Fairytale Brownies,
I work for MGM/Mirage Corporation and all of us at our Contact Center received a Christmas gift from Lance Burton, which was a 4 Brownie Gift Favor. Well...when I got home from work, I gave one of the brownies to my boyfriend and I had one also. I have never ever tasted a brownie that good, needless to say, I ate the other three! When I went to work the ext day, I asked one of my co-workers if she had tried them and she too thought your brownies were to die for. I have been raving to everyone who will listen that your brownie are the BEST I have ever had. I love brownies...forget cake, I want brownies! Thank you for making a small treat truly a delight. I will be placing an order soon. I know I can't go long without having another, and another, and another.
Sincerely, Vonnie J.

Dear Fairytale Brownies,
I did not know your business existed. I received a catalog in the mail and was happy to support a local company, so I decided to send a few gifts. The recipients loved the product. I decided I'd better try some for myself and see if they were really that good. I ordered some and I love them, they are soft, tasty and not over the top sweet, which is good. Te biggest problem I see, is hiding them in the fridge so I won't eat them all in the first week! Congrats on a great product with reasonable pricing.

While Christmas is just over a week away there is still plenty of time to find the perfect gift of Fairytale Brownies for your customers, employees, family and friends. Who wants to brave the malls in the cold and snow (well, rain here in Arizona) this time of the year? I know I don't. Let us do all the work for you! We have gifts to fit any budget so I'm sure we could find the perfect one! Especially for that last person on your list who has everything. Two of my favorite gifts this year are our Fairytale Truffles and our Winter Wonderland. Both of which are on sale right now! I sent the Truffles to my family, as a can't wait to see you soon gift, and my Dad hid the gift card and told my Mom they were just for him! My Dad is not a big sweets person but when the Fairytale Brownies arrive it's a different story! I'm sure by the time I get there next week there won't be a crumb left. I think I'll just have to surprise him with his very own box under the tree on Christmas morning! This Friday is the last day to order to ensure delivery for Christmas so order soon! 
Dear Fairytale Brownies,
My tech support department was sent a box of your brownies last year by one of our software distributors, and they were just about the best I ever had. I think my heart skipped a beat when I opened the box and saw another batch this year! This time I went around the building and shared them with the folks in other departments, and just had to share with you the instant message I got from one of my coworkers after sampling your brownies:
[15:08] : I think I just saw GOD
Keep up the good work.

Dear Fairytale Brownies:
I received your brownies last Christmas and loved them so much that I am sending them to friends this Christmas. As I went to order online, I was wondering how it would work since I had 5 people to who to send brownies. Your website is WONDERFUL. It could not have been easier. This is the best website I have ever ordered from and I only wish that other web sites were as well-designed, user-friendly, and thoughtful. Every concern I had was easily addressed. I have never written to a company before, but just had to let you know how stellar your service and your brownies are. Plus, there was FREE SHIPPING on the very item I was sending! Thank you so much for making my holiday shopping easy and fun.
Sincerely,
Katie C.
Have a happy and safe Holiday Season.

Dear Fairytale Brownies,
I love your brownies. A friend first sent them to me as a gift and I have been hooked ever since. I especially appreciate the Free Shipping this time of year. It made a huge difference for me. I've placed one order yesterday, four today, and am sure I will be ordering more before the week is out. I feel confident when friends get these that they will feel special as your presentation is so nice. Thanks again for a quality product.

Thank you Nicky! Have a happy holiday season.

Ok, so I do consider myself to be somewhat of a blog lurker. I read tons of blogs on just about everything. Recently, I came upon a post that I enjoyed. This author was giving suggestions on ways to have some family fun online this season. Most of the sites listed I've seen before, but I thought it would be nice for me to share with your too. So, here are some of the suggested sites and a few that I threw in on my own:

This form of customization is a new process for us, but has been very popular so far this year.

I ordered a box of your Sugar-Free Magic Morsels and WOW how delicious! I am diabetic and usually the sugar-free I find quite acceptable, but not like the "real thing!" Your brownies are as close as it gets - thanks so much for thinking of those of use who can't have sugar.

We also received another comment about the new web site we launched earlier this year. The web team was very excited to see this comment about the redesign.
I would like to commend you on your easy ordering process. Every year, when I order our Thank You gift for our clients, it is always a major project. This year, Fairytale Brownies made things go much smoother. I am very excited to hear what our clients say about your products when they receive their gifts. Thank you Fairytale Brownies for making my job so much easier.
~ Lynn K.
Send us your customer feedback, we love to hear from you. We hope you have a very nice upcoming Holiday Season!

We love getting feedback from our customers here at Fairytale Brownies. Every time you order brownies, you and your recipient get an opportunity to tell us what you love and if you have any suggestions for us. If you haven't ever responded to our online survey or via the postcard in your brownie box, please do so the next time you order. Or send an email to service@brownies.com. You just might be featured on our blog! We got some emails today about two things that are near and dear to our hearts, soldier care packages and our partnership with KaBOOM!, so I thought I would share them.
"Hey, I just want to say thank you so much for supporting the troops. One of the girls I know said she was trying to order brownies and you sent some to her deployed soldier at your expense. Although I am lucky enough to have my husband home this holiday season, I just want to say thanks again, because little things like this mean the world to deployed soldiers who are happy to have anything that reminds them of home. Next deployment I will be sure to pass along the word that you guys are great! I hope your business continues to be prosperous." -Rebekah S.
"Hello Fairytale Brownies. My wife and I have been using your services to send client gifts for 10+ years. We were recently visiting my grandparents in
Thanks Rebekah and Ryan for your kind words, we really appreciate it!

The buzz going on here at Fairytale Brownies is huge this week. We are all so excited about this Friday because we are expecting a TV crew from The Food Networks "Unwrapped" show to shoot an episode featuring Fairytale Brownies. The premise of the show is 'comfort food' and they'll be shooting the bakers baking our gourmet brownies from scratch, interviewing our founders David Kravetz and Eileen Spitalny, filming our shipping team packing and getting gifts ready for FedEx shipment, and showcasing our retail store that is open to the public.
From the show, we are hoping to remind people that Fairytale Brownies are great as Holiday Gifts and are easy and simple to Order Brownies! As soon as we have an air date for the show, we'll pass the word along to you!

Pouring the brownie batter into the baking pan. Mmmmmmm, smooth, rich, Callebaut Belgian Chocolate!
Here is the Toffee Crunch flavor ready for the oven! Notice how every inch of the batter is covered in toppings. These pans will get cut into our 3" x 3" and 3" x 1.5" Brownies and Sprites, so we want to make sure that there are plenty of toppings in every savory bite!
Walnut Brownies getting their toppings. Here again, notice how many Walnut pieces are getting spread onto the batter! YUM!!!
Take a look at our Flavors page to see our entire luscious brownie family.
I don't know about you, but I am ready for some chocolate! Enjoy!

Gosh, it's unbelievable that it is November already. We are geared up here at Fairytale Brownies for the holiday season. As we've shared with you previously, we have some really cool new custom gifts this year. We can print your full-color logo or photo on our keepsake wooden boxes and on our gift favors. Also new this year, we are printing on gift ribbon that wraps around your Fairytale gift. Click the links below for examples of our new custom gifts.
Examples of our Custom full-color Gift Favors.
Examples of our Custom Gift Ribbon.
Examples of our Custom Keepsake Gifts.
What is really cool too, is that there are no minimums on custom gifts anymore. Previously, we had a 25 gift minimum, but we decided to do away
with that to make it easier on our customers who didn't need 25 or more customized gifts. There is a one week lead time on custom orders to get the order placed and to get the artwork approved. So, if you're interested, the custom gift deadline is November 17th!
You can always call customer service with any questions at 800.324.7982. You can also email us at service@brownies.com with questions as well. We will get back to you within one business day.
Thank you, and have a Fairytale Day!

That machine is inkjetting addresses onto the catalogs from a list that has been presorted to get us the best possible postage rate. Pretty cool to see it in action, huh?
Look for a Fairytale Brownies catalog in your mailbox next week, and if you're not on our mailing list click the request a catalog link on the right to sign up!

One option for securing a federal trademark is to hire an intellectual property attorney. But this can often be very expensive.
The less expensive route is to search for and apply for the trademark yourself with the United States Patent &Trademark Office. To begin the process, go to http://www.uspto.gov. Click on "Trademarks" in the left column, and then click "Search TM database (TESS)." Finally click on "New user form search (basic)." This is your starting point to search and make sure that somebody else is not already using the name. It can be very costly if you skip this step and find out down the road that someone else owns your business name (especially if it is a large business with deep pockets).Once you determine that your business name is not already in use, you'll want to begin the application process to secure your own trademark. Start here to get an overview of the process - http://www.uspto.gov/web/trademarks/workflow/start.htm. This web page has many other links where you can learn more details about how it all works. Filing a trademark registration only costs $325, so it is well worth your time and money to take care of this early on in your new business venture. Good Luck!
