NEWS and STORES

Happy 4th of July!

 

Thank you all for our time and support! I would not be where I am today without ALL of you!

 

I do have salsa at the house if your local and need any for this weekend just email me or call first. I am doing tastings for the next three days and will be busy. But can get it bagged up and by the door for Matthew to get to you.

 

Also if you have never taken the opportunity to sign  a testimonial on our website I would love it if you could take the time to do it. With the newspaper article coming out we have had alot of activity on the site and it would be neat to have two or three pages of testimonials on there. Plus if you have a recipe you have used the salsa with..send it to me and I will put it on the website with your name, city and state. Just hit "contact us" for both those things and it will come right to my email.

 

Be Safe and Sane this weekend! Have a wonderful time with your family and friends!

! News:
  The Expo Comida Latina Trade Show was a Great Success for our Company.
   MVP Foods Inc. and Diana's Sports Salsa!
      
      Sam, Matthew, and Myself manned the display booth and handed out taste samples and 4oz jar samples, and Talked, Talked and Talked!
     Sam Seemed in his natural enviornment and made several friends and potential Sales!

     Lots and Lots of exposure and overwhelming Positive feedback from the other venders and attenders at the show. There were over 640 venders and displays there, plus it was combined with another Food Trade Show with over 1200 venders and displays. They estimated over 15,000 attendees!

 We made many contacts with Buyers, Restaurants, Caterers, Gift Basket manufacturers, etc.......... Their reception of our products was very, very positive! Now with the show over we are continuing these relationships with the hope of providing our products for their businesses.

 We were displayed in the "New Products" Display Case at the entrance of the building.


This Guided many people to our booth for a taste and look at what we had to offer.
We were surprised at the number of Restaurants and Caterers who were interested in the product in a bulk pack for their house salsas, a new direction for us to look into!





The 4oz Sample size was a give away but may end up as a sale product as many Gift Basket Manufacturers are interested in using the Jars in their baskets, another unexpected direction!





 We also have a local "San Bernadino" Radio Station that is going to set up an interview with us, we'll keep you posted as we find out more info.

There were also Many Food Critics in attendence all of whom left with smiles and free samples, Their comments were very encourageing!

One has even mentioned us on His web site http://www.eatmoreheat.com/2009/09/expo-comida-latina.html

Here is an excerpt:

    "Sunday started with picking up Dave DeWitt from the airport, and heading to the convention center. We had a chance to walk through the Gaslamp Quarter

We made it to the show, and spent a decent amount of time browsing the different companies exhibiting. A few of the companies with fiery products that in my humble opinion stood out were: Marilyn's Fresh Foods, Diana's Sports Salsa, LOL•TUN, Zap' Snacks, DECSA, Real Del Monte, El Sol Mexican Food and Haliburton (not Halliburton). I made sure to get as many samples as I could carry, and you can expect reviews of some of these products in the coming weeks (or as soon as they're available in the U.S.). "

Heres another link to another write-up on the show that mentions Diana's Sports Salsa:
http://www.prlog.org/10332324-expo-comida-latina-bridges-the-world-of-hispanic-food-and-beverage-with-western-foodservice-show.html
Heres an excerpt:
"Over the last few years, Expo Comida Latina has been the bridge for authentic international companies to bring new products to the growing US market.  For instance, agave nectar was first introduced at Expo Comida Latina 5 years ago, and is now found on the shelves of major retailers such as Whole Foods and Kroger.

This year, some of the new products featured at the show were:

- Sanissimo Oven Baked Nachos
- The Bomb Steak (Authentic Carne Asada)
- Mi Lupe exotic chili infused dried fruit snacks
- Diana’s Sports Salsa "

Were Very Excited and Wish to Thank All who supported us and made these things Possible!

Thank You!
Diana
