Edible Arrangements delivers the Deliciously Desirable

January 23, 2012 12:00 by natashashrimanker1

Edible Arrangements hosted a casual fun-filled evening on 21 January 2012, at the Al Manzil Hotel, Downtown Dubai celebrating an occasion with women on “How to be the Perfect Party Host”. The event was graced by media icons, business and lifestyle entrepreneurs and creative talents such as Juhi Yasmeen Khan, from JYK Fashion, Parisa from Parisa Gourmet Restaurant and many more.
 

The concept was visualized by Edible Arrangements Regional Brand Manager, Sonal Wadhwa, who wanted to create a boutique style and interactive event with women sharing their experience and thoughts on what goes into making being a ‘ good host’.

Several concepts were brought in place from ‘simple dining’ for the family to elaborate ‘themed parties’. “We want to start interacting with our clients, and become a brand that people can relate to and share their experiences with. This helps us understand our customers better and cater to their requirements.” stated Mr. Said Mbarak Al DigeilCEO of Al Braik Investments (Master franchisor of Edible Arrangements GCC/MENA).

Edible Arrangements’ unique fruit bouquet concept has provided a new way to gift giving, centerpieces and party desserts. Their motto is simple to keep people happy and by connecting to them through relevant activities.

Further to this they also have an interesting ‘Edible Valentine Award’ that goes to someone who does a "Selfless Love Act" for Valentine’s Day. “Love can be defined in many ways, and one of the most important gestures on Valentine’s Day is to do a good act by making someone in need feel better. Giving money to charity is simple, but when doing something useful for someone who needs it most is more meaningful” stated Sonal, Edible Arrangements. The brand believes in organizing CSR activities with a purpose.

The ‘Edible Valentine Award’ campaign will be publicized on social media sites to encourage its followers to share their “Selfless Love Act” and get recognition for it. This becomes an inspiration and also serves as an education to the youth. The winning individual will be mentioned as the rightful star as well as be gifted a Special Valentine’s Day Exotic Fruit and Chocolate bouquet.
