“NUTS ON CLARK” Presents… The Willis Tower

May 28th, 2010

The Willis Tower, or what you may know as the Sears Tower, is Chicago’s tallest building and therefore a Chicago icon! Our Chicago popcorn company features the famous building on our own popcorn gift tins, and most Chicagoans know the Willis as an integral part of the city skyline. You might recognize the building from a movie– the main characters visit the Skydeck in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off– or a TV show– Monk, Late Night with Conan O’Brien and other TV shows have featured the tower. You should get to know it up close and personal when you’re in Chicago.

The Right Corporate Gifts from “Nuts On Clark”

October 20th, 2009

We. Love. Food. (Doesn’t everyone?) We also love gifts. What could unite these two wonderful things together this season? A corporate food gift from “Nuts On Clark”!

Corporate gifts can be quite tricky to find; they’re even harder to get right. You might immediately think of sending your employees a big basket of fruit, bags of candy, or a random bottle of wine. These options have their merit, but they’ve been done. They’re expected. They’re boring. They’re generic.

A corporate gift basket from “Nuts On Clark” is sure to please, and sure to be a surprise. When your co-workers and clients see a beaming, beautiful tin of crispy caramelcorn or indulgent cheesecorn sitting on their desks, you’ll watch happily as the office workers crunch away on their new treats. (You’ll probably want to buy a corporate gift for yourself, so you can join in on the popcorn crunching, too.)

But, which popcorn corporate gift shall you choose? The 3.5 Gallon Popcorn Tin, overflowing with your choice of 2-way gourmet caramelcorn and cheesecorn, or 3-way gourmet caramelcorn, cheesecorn, and plain popcorn, is a delightfully simple, yet elegant and tasty corporate gift.

If you know that the nut bowl in the break room is always empty by lunch, you might choose to treat your co-workers to the exquisite seasonings that “Nuts On Clark” uses to coat our popular nut varieties. A 4-Star Gift comes packs with 4 generous containers of colossal pistachios, jumbo cashews, double-dipped chocolate peanuts and gourmet mixed nuts.

Wanting to satisfy the gourmet appetites of both popcorn and nut aficionados, you will find yourself offering corporate gifts, like the Grand Assortment, to appeal to both groups. Smelling of yummy mixed nuts, giant pistachios, fancy chocolate peanuts and handfuls of “Voted Best in the Country” caramelcorn, the Grand Assortment will become one of your most treasured corporate gifts.

While the old options of fruit, candy, and wine are acceptable offerings, a nut or popcorn corporate gift from “Nuts On Clark” will be an upscale change of pace to your gift-giving tendencies.
