Chocolate Bar Relaunch - Episode Three

Ilze's Chocolat • May 16, 2021

THE SNACK-SIZED FORMAT

Not all grapes are born equal.


Some grapes will be taken from the vine and eaten, perhaps by a child playing in the vineyard. Others will be picked by people who do this for a living, with care and skill, so that the bunch may eventually be presented in its perfect packaging in a glamorous supermarket far away. Some will be destined for the long and sophisticated process of becoming an exquisite wine, the pride of some gracious host, years into the future.


And then some, a select few, will become Chilean Flame raisins, will be soaked in port until they are saturated, macerated - and ready for the final performance of their lives; even the crowning moment of their kind of fruit: when they are carefully blended into freshly tempered superior dark chocolate. When they become Ilze's Flame Raisins and Port in a dark chocolate bar.


Yes, these spectacular chocolate bars are now also available in the 95g format. Yes, they are vegan. No, they are not alcohol free!


But they should be on your bucket list.

At the moment, most of us need to be careful how we spend our money and still be able to buy all the treats that we would like to. So we have implemented a loyalty programme whereby you can earn points with every purchase, when you refer a friend, or when you post about us on Facebook or Twitter. These points can then be converted to discounts on your next order. In fact, by simply registering on the program, you will already have earned 100 points, which take you halfway to the first reward at 200 points! So how does it work? 1. Welcome bonus: 100 points! 2. You get 3 points for every £1 you spend on our website. 3. Share about us on Facebook or Twitter, 50 points each. 4. Subscribe to our mailing list, 50 points. 5. And you can earn more points buy adding your birthday or referring a friend. And what are the rewards? Today, we announce three rewards: 1. 200 points: Free shipping on your next order,... 2. ...or 10% off on your next order. 3. 400 points: 20% off on your next order. Yes, if you place a large order for all your Christmas chocolate gifts, the 200 points that you earned just by registering and placing a first order can bring a very substantial saving. If you want to know more, just click on the orange icon with "Rewards" written on it on the right hand side of your screen (this presents as a round orange icon on smartphones).

Our shop in Eastcote remains open for takeaways during this lock-down period. So if you are able to come to the shop, we continue with our two special offers for pick-up; please have a look and place your order! If you have enjoyed some of our light lunches or treats in the shop during the last months, you may perhaps feel that you have "lost" something during lock-down. The good news is that we continue to offer these as takeaways. Better still, you can order it online for a specific pickup time and collect with minimum waiting time. Please see what we have on offer . But if you are unable to visit our shop, remember that our online store continues to offer our full range of chocolate and macaroon products. Do have a look!

"Hi there, I just wanted to thank you so much for the wonderful anniversary macaroons my husband received last week. I ordered your largest box & they were quite simply demolished within hours! Seriously we love a macaroon & we have tasted many over the years over afternoon teas. These are by far the tastiest , chewiest, yummiest, scrummiest macaroons we have ever had! We will be placing regular orders for these divine treats you so preciously create. Even the way they arrived in their packing was just simply perfect! Thanks again - already thinking of an excuse to order some more?! Kindest Regards, Holly" Isn't it just wonderful to get feedback like this? Such an email makes it possible for us to continue, even amid all the negative news brought about by the pandemic. Then again, if one decides to focus on something and you constantly strive to improve (in our case, chocolate and macaroons), then after 14 years you are bound to gain the edge; that is the reward of your focus. But we want to share our treats with more of you and encourage you to share it further by offering it as presents in a time when everyone needs encouragement. That is why we have two very special offers for those of you who are able to visit our shop or who are able to order online and collect from us.
