The History Of Receiving Chocolate

Chocolate has been a constant throughout many generations now, in fact, it is believed that the first person to receive cocoa was Hernan Cortes around 1527. An ambassador of Christopher Columbus, Cortes then took the newly discovered cocoa to Spain where he charged an extremely high price for it. It was not used in the UK until approximately 1650, yet cocoa had remained a product that only the richest could afford. Today it is extremely different as cocoa and chocolate, following its creation during the 18th century, are consumed by people worldwide.

Whilst considered a luxury, for many, chocolate has become a normality of day to day life. With this in mind, it is surprising to consider that prior to its creation in the 18th century, many were not aware of the delicious taste which chocolate produces.

Using Promotional Chocolate As Part Of Your Marketing

The packaging of chocolate has begun to play an important part in decision making over recent years, and suitable packaging is essential around Valentine's Day. As the chocolates are being given as a gift, some may decide on what chocolates to buy based on the packaging design, as opposed to the brand. This in-depth process of picking the chocolates could be advantageous to your business, as with the correct packaging, your boxes of chocolates could sell extremely well.
