Gourmet Salt Purveyor Spices Up Business with 'SaltWorks Stimulus' Free Shipping Promotion

Joining in on the current economic upswing, SaltWorks extends first-ever free shipping offer

WOODINVILLE, Wash., Aug. 6, 2009 — For gourmet salt company SaltWorks, business is holding strong, with sales up 25 percent over last year. Wanting to shake things up and give its loyal customers a break in tough times, the company has introduced their SaltWorks Stimulus – its first-ever offer of free shipping.

For a company that sells sea salt in quantities ranging from single packages to full pallets and ocean containers, that's quite an offer. "This is a very significant discount," said SaltWorks CEO Mark Zoske. "Depending on the size of the order, shipping can account for up to 30 percent of the total cost. We already offer the lowest price in the world on gourmet salts. Now, with this promotion, our shipping costs are the lowest as well."

SaltWorks boasts the largest selection of specialty gourmet salts available, with more than 100 varieties. Its products include retail, bulk and bath & spa salts.

Sea salt is increasingly becoming the choice of discriminating consumers for both the table and the bath. For those who want fewer additives in their food and more sophisticated flavor profiles, sea salt is the preferred choice. In the bath, sea salt can stimulate circulation, ease muscle cramps, help relieve stiff joints, relieve arthritis or back pain and soothe aches. Sea salt helps cleanse and detoxify the largest organ in the body – the skin.

SaltWorks' promotion is valid through Aug. 31, 2009. The free shipping offer is good for free UPS ground shipping within the continental United States. Discounts are available to all other locations around the world. For more information, visit http://www.seasalt.com.
