You really dedicated to your health. Somehow I feel used that I'm doing all your food testing? ;-) (Did you see my Ghiradelli post?)<BR/><BR/>Foodhoe, $80!! I hope you took lots of photos so you at least have a memory of what $80 worth of chocolates taste and look like.<BR/><BR/>Beth, thanks for giving your perspective. I recognize it's a challenge for a small business to figure out a price point. I do like your product. Hopefully you'll find success in volume! :)Single Guy Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02496236420566420946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-83576652484023738132008-06-23T18:05:00.000-07:002008-06-23T18:05:00.000-07:00Hi, I'm Beth, the Scream Sorbet groupie pictured i...Hi, I'm Beth, the Scream Sorbet groupie pictured in the photograph above - thanks for the write-up. I'm glad you liked the Peach-Raspberry and Strawberry-Rhubarb! My personal favorites that week were the Carrot-Ginger and the Lemon-Buttermilk. We certainly don't want everyone to like every flavor, we just want everyone to *love* at least one. :)<BR/><BR/>As far as our pricing goes, we'd like to be able to sell larger scoops for less money.... In fact, when we first started, we did - but we were losing money at the market. Most ice cream shops in the East Bay use flavorings or fruit slurries - I think the only others using exclusively whole fruit are Ici and perhaps Sketch. Our sorbet has a very high percentage of fruit, and some of our flavors contain *only* fruit and sugar (like our Strawberry and our Carrot-Ginger). We list all our ingredients at the market and on our website. I know $3 is a lot for a small scoop, but we hope people find the flavor to be worth it! We're unwilling to settle for inferior ingredients.... even though we'd make waaayyy more money if we did.Beth Budwighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00933455927157723094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-54463180324881832262008-06-23T08:31:00.000-07:002008-06-23T08:31:00.000-07:00mmm, $3 does seem pricey, but I am a big sorbet fa...mmm, $3 does seem pricey, but I am a big sorbet fan and would fork it over willingly if it were good. Geez, I dished out $80 for 2 boxes of Vosges haute chocolate... but that's a different story. I will have to check it out, thanks for the tip.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-11090241493652878122008-06-22T01:11:00.000-07:002008-06-22T01:11:00.000-07:00I think $3 for a tiny scoop is expensive, but I'll...I think $3 for a tiny scoop is expensive, but I'll try it at least once.<BR/><BR/>Cool FREE events this weekend, hope u can make them, I'm going hiking instead:<BR/><BR/>http://blogs.kqed.org/bayareabites/2008/06/18/events-sip-savour-solstice/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34927862.post-50416551892722505832008-06-21T13:47:00.000-07:002008-06-21T13:47:00.000-07:00Looking forward to checking out Scream sorbet tomo...Looking forward to checking out Scream sorbet tomorrow at the Temescal farmer's market ... the weather should be perfect for sorbet. You know, I have to say I don't think $3 sounds like a lot considering prices at farmer's markets tend to be higher than if you bought from a grocery store. I think you're paying a premium to get something you couldn't get anywhere else.David K. and Ann C.-K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02049631545625007698noreply@blogger.com
