Corporate Gift Programs are Hungry for Healthy
Options
Oakland, CA (March 6, 2008)— Corporations are discovering
that SantŽ Gourmet cakes are an ideal healthy food gift that still conveys a
sense of luxury. Traditional food gifts, such as candy, gourmet cookies and
other high-fat or sugar-laden choices, may not be appropriate for all gift
recipients. SantŽ Gourmet offers a healthy alternative with cakes elegant
enough for special occasions and so delicious that everyone finds it hard to
believe that they are made without added sugar and contain lots of fiber. For
example, Bruce Thrupp, Business Development Director
for environmental engineering firm The Source Group, Inc recently added SantŽ
Gourmet cakes to their corporate gift program. ÒWe
have many health-conscious employees as well as clients,Ó explains Mr. Thrupp,
ÒSantŽ Gourmet cakes make the perfect thank-you gifts for our valued team
members and customers. ItÕs sheer indulgence without the guilt.Ó With more and
more of the population following a special diet either to improve
general health or to manage specific conditions such as diabetes, corporate
gift programs are including more healthy choices. ÒWe are seeing a growing demand for our cakes for holidays,
birthdays, and client appreciation gift giving,Ó says founder Elisa Nakata,
ÒThe flavor is so rich that the recipient perceives the cakes as a luxurious
treat and the packaging reinforces the specialty gourmet image.Ó
SantŽ

cake filled with fresh carrots, pineapples, walnuts, and spices, topped with a
