Sung Fung Foods products for top – end specialist shops and delicatessens serving the general UK consumer market. The London MAS then funded extensive expert help from food marketing guru Jane Milton of London – based Not Just Food.
With Jane’ s help a range of six biscuits with a long shelf life and appeal for the UK palate have been selected, new packaging and branding sorted, potential outlets identified and a sales and marketing plan put in place. Ketsalin will be hoping to attract big names like Harrods and Selfridges alongside small specialist shops when she launches her range – which includes delicious peanut dainties, five spice biscuits, rice twigs and pineapple cakes – at an exhibition next month.
It is early days yet, but if it takes off as expected? Ketsalin is ready:“ Investing £ 30,000 on a new machine to cope with additional demand is the equivalent to me buying a diamond necklace! Diamonds are a waste of money, but a new machine, now that really puts a sparkle in my eye!”
