Hi there,

If you like chocolate and are looking for a unique gift this holiday season, we have just the project for you!
http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/43884669/build-a-production-space-and-storefront-for-piq-ch

We have developed a totally new process using the latest 3D prototyping technology to allow anyone to design their own chocolate gifts. Think of us as a replacement for 1-800-FLOWERS, Harry and David or any personalized gift.

This video explains how it will work.

and a quick preview of our bar rendering system can be found here.


Is our chocolate good? Heck yeah! Many online chocolatiers us "Premium Belgian" chocolate for their sweets. It's good chocolate, but it's not great chocolate. We want our bars to taste as good as they look, so our chocolate is crafted in France from Trinitario and Criollo beans, which represent only 1% of the world production of chocolate. Check out our website or our Kickstarter project to learn more.

If you have any questions, feel free to ping me at levi@piqchocolates.com

Thank You,
piq Chocolates Team

Wow. The breadth of applications for 3d prototype continue to astound me. Seems like you've raised a good amount of money. How have you gone about marketing the campaign?

We started with Friends, Family, and Facebook. We did a press release when we started and we've been reaching out to press and media wherever we can. It helps that we have an amazing product. People who find their way to the project page seem to like what we are offering, but we are going to need to get in front of a lot more people in order to get to our goal.
