“In the last quarter of 2006, we decided to invest heavily in marketing, in programmes we are confident will show further results in 2007. During the year, we hired a PR agency to support our retail products in Albertson’s and other supermarket chains, improved our packaging and introduced new products into the market place as well as increasing our sales staff by 16%,” Armanino continued.
