The Power of Hungry Girl and Yahoo!

Hungry Girl is a hugely popular web site with “tips & tricks for hungry chicks”. It’s written by Lisa “Hungry Girl” Lillien who is the first to admit she’s “not a nutritionist . . . just hungry.” But, her upbeat writing style, fantastic food reviews, and great instinct for the best products has made her the goto girl for the hottest food, beverage, and dietary supplement trends for people who care about healthy eating.

Yahoo! is the most trafficked web site in the world. Among the hundreds of millions of sites, Yahoo! is #1 in large part because it offers great content. Yahoo! has a food blog written by Lisa “Hungry Girl” Lillien.

We offer ZEVIA for sale on the Internet. It’s not the best way to get ZEVIA because shipping liquid is so expensive. Nonetheless, we receive between 5 and 20 orders per day from people who can’t wait for ZEVIA to get to a store near them. When an online order is placed, we receive an email alert.

Yesterday, around 11:40 a.m., we started getting about 10 orders per minute! At first, we thought the system was broken because the emails came in and continued like a flood of rushing water. Within a couple of hours, we had about 400 online orders of ZEVIA to fill (that’s not a typo - seriously, four hundred).

Yahoo! featured for about an hour a link front and center on its home page to the Hungry Girl blog. The Hungry Girl blog top story was called 4 Ways to Ditch Your Diet-Soda Dependency. It recommended ZEVIA, and had a nice photo of a ZEVIA mixed six pack. The power of the influential Hungry Girl, together with the link from Yahoo!’s home page, exposed many thousand people to ZEVIA.

We are so proud to have created a revolutionary product. Everybody who tries ZEVIA loves it, and our sales have beat even our own expectations. The only thing keeping us from helping everybody kick the diet soda habit is getting the word out. We are extremely grateful for you telling people you know about ZEVIA, and we appreciate high profile critics like Hungry Girl recognizing how great tasting and healthy ZEVIA is.

Please help us continue spreading the word. Thanks!
