Bloomer Candy Sweetens the Deal with an Online Program for Chocolate Gifts

Zanesville, Ohio, June 3, 2009 - Bloomer Candy, a staple in the candy business since 1879, has launched an online program for the gourmet chocolates gift market. The company’s website offers a host of products for chocolate lovers who want to express love or gratitude in the most delicious fashion.

Bloomer Candy is adding a new online program to its website, with a view to target the home gift market. The company had developed innovative online features so that the user can easily and efficiently order chocolate gift baskets and chocolate boxes.

Some of these online features include a shop by occasion option, which lets users categorize chocolate gifts according to types of holidays, special occasions or well wishing. There is a category for chocolate boxes under $30, also featured items or top selling selections and an online Great Gift Ideas brochure with pictures of individual gourmet chocolates.

Other convenient options include a multiple shipping feature, which allows customers to easily buy multiple gifts and send them to multiple addresses directly from the store, and a quick shopping option that lets regular users expedite the ordering process. This online program allows customers to store shipping and payment information on the system and also includes rating and reviews of all chocolate gifts.

Founded in 1879, Bloomer Candy has deep wholesale and retail roots in the candy and chocolate business. The company’s family recipes have consistently been guarded since the 19th century and ever since the company first opened the doors of its physical retail location in Zanesville, Ohio. Technology has come a long way since Bloomer Candy deliveries were originally made by horse drawn cargo wagons.

The ingredients of a Bloomer Candy chocolate gift basket still remain the same: tasty, old fashioned and 100% natural, free of preservatives or artificial substitutes. The company’s specialty is milk chocolate gift baskets, sold by the pound, or sold in assortments. Some of the company’s most popular gifts include chocolate gift baskets, chocolate ornament towers, chocolate peanut clusters, and chocolate covered nuts. There is even a sugar free chocolate category.

Ted Paulus, the chief chocolate maker employed at Bloomer Candy, states that the secret to the company’s success, as well as the great taste their chocolate gifts offer, lies in quality ingredients. “There are no shortcuts when it comes to making quality candy. Bloomer Candy is real milk chocolate…it is defined by characteristics of freshness, high quality ingredients, natural ingredients and rich texture. The cheap candy you buy in a store is all artificial sweetness. Anyone from a chocolate connoisseur to a small child can taste the difference.”

With their new online program, Bloomer Candy is inviting customers to come discover pure gourmet chocolate bliss. Their gourmet chocolates are legendary and a multi-generational phenomenon. Whether customers are looking for exquisite chocolate gifts, chocolate boxes and assortments, sugar free chocolate or a chocolate gift basket, Bloomer Candy has a wide selection of milk chocolates for gift-giving, wholesale chocolate in quantity, and of course, chocolate for one’s own personal pleasure.
