SAN FRANCISCO: Healthshop.com, the leading Web retailer of natural
health products, has tapped Southern California boutique agency The
Blaze Company to roll out a national consumer PR campaign.
Recently ranked number one among natural health web sites in both sales
and site traffic (according to Media Metrix and PC Data Online),
healthshop.com has worked with Switzer Associates since its launch in
January 1999. The Sausalito, CA-based, hi-tech firm will continue to
handle the site’s trade and financial PR.
However, VP of marketing and business development Bob Purcell said he
believed it was time to ’add some consumer expertise’ to the branding of
the site. He was familiar with Blaze from a previous experience working
with them on Noah’s New York Bagels.
For Blaze, the win represents its first real foray into the world of
e-commerce. Outside of helping publicize the site for gourmet peanut
butter company Sorrell Pickard, this represents the first dot-com client
for the Venice, CA agency better known for its work in the retail and
hospitality sectors.
