Introducing Fruit To Wellness

Tuesday, October 5th, 2010

Box of Fresh Fruit - Kansas City MetroI’m proud to announce that we have helped our client, Fruit To Wellness launch their new website.

Fruit To Wellness is built on a simple idea – help people snack healthier at work.

For only $50 you get 50 pieces of fruit conveniently delivered directly to your office. Delivery is free in the KC Metro area and only $7 if outside the metro.

Fruit To Wellness plans to also offer water and simple exercise programs, along with additional health and wellness educational information in the future.

Take a minute to visit FruitToWellness.com. Personally, I got hungry every time I worked on the site, but that’s just me.

If you talk to Tom, tell him Bill sent you.
