I just got a really nice surprise in my email - an email from a lady at Bird's Eye foods. They noticed my March blog post about Steamfresh Veggies and offered to send me a free cookbook and coupons to try their new Steamfresh Rice products: Long Grain White Rice, Whole Grain Brown Rice, and Long Grain White Rice with Mixed Vegetables. (Hey - who says there's a rice shortage!)
I think this is fantastic customer service and great a great marketing methodology on the part of Bird's Eye. Blogs are worth money these days, and a genuine product review from a trusted person (hey, you trust me, right? :-P ) are like gold to create buzz out there in the world. I wrote about Steamfresh veggies because I really like them, and got a great deal on them that I wanted to share about. To be noticed by the company is just a really cool extra. I can't wait 'til my cookbook comes.
And you know what - I won't sell this one on half.com either. LOL. I keep all my cookbooks - they are a fantastic resource and I love reading cookbooks. Its very soothing for some reason to read cookbooks. Even if I never make the recipe, I feel like I learn something from reading it.
Here is the book they have offered to send to me: How to Cook Everything: Vegetarian, by Mark Bittman.
