Peanut Butter, anyone?
Being the peanut butter monster that I am, I took it upon myself to whip up my own home-made version of the spread I actually spoon straight out of the jar. I've actually been making a healthier, preservative-free, sugar-free alternative to what's normally found in grocery stores for quite some time now, but my "products" never really make it out of our kitchen. My family and I would always scarf a whole jar down in a week's time. And I also didn't even entertain the thought of making a business out of it.
It was only by
Ellaine's (that's her in the photo) prodding that I decided to "sell" my family-famous concoction. I didn't even charge for profit when I sold her my first jar, thinking that I enjoyed whipping it up anyway. I couldn't charge for labor now, could I? Besides, I was never really blessed with good business sense, so I decided to do it as a labor of love. Hehehe...
Thankfully, I got good feedback not just from Ellaine, but from my other colleagues as well. Now, I have five pending orders. Yehey!
The only thing lacking is a catchy label or brandname. Hmmm... Suggestions? I was initially thinking of "Marielle's Mani-an (Healthy Peanut Butter Spread)". But I know, I know. It's the lamest name and just goes to show how I can NEVER be in advertising!
