We are lauching our affiliate program!  For all of our friends out there, we are offering you the chance to sign up with us as affiliates.  What this means is that if someone comes to our store from an affiliate link that you provide to them, you earn commissions on the sales.  This is subject of course to the terms and conditions of the affiliate program that are available at the signup link.  So, if you’ve got a blog, a web site or just a bunch of friends that you could post a link to on facebook, twitter or some other kind of social network, you can earn either credit to put towards your own hot sauce want list or cold hard cash.  The signup link is located here (the terms and conditions are linked to at the bottom of that page).  If you have any questions regarding the affiliate program, please email us at info@frommildtowild.com and we’re glad to answer them for you.

Hope that everyone is getting thawed out ok for Spring!  It’s a great time of year for getting the grill fired up again (we’ve been doing that a lot lately), and for those of you who are fans of the Bone Suckin’ Sauce line of products, we’ve reduced our prices across the board and brought some new items in from them as well.  You can find them all here.

That’s all for now.  Don’t forget to check us out on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/FromMildtoWild to keep up with the day to day news and provide us your feedback.

February Newsletter

Greetings to all of our gourmet spicy food lovers!  We’ve got a bit of news and a sale to share with you this time around.

From Mild to Wild Hot Sauce Shop is proud to announce that we’ve now got a distribution deal with one of our favourite crafters of hot sauce and specialty food products – Original Juan.  We have expanded our product offering from Original Juan and recently added 43 new products to our catalog in the online store.  The products include a few hot sauces, lots of BBQ sauce (they are from Kansas City after all), salsas and some great new spicy snacks.  You can check out the entire line of Original Juan products that we carry by checking out this link.

So, at this point, it may stand to reason that we’re going to offer you some special pricing on the new Original Juan product line up, right?  Of course that’s right!  For the next week you can get 25% off all of their products that we currently have in stock by using the coupon code OJ25 on checkout.  This discount is available for one week, through Thursday February 16th, 2012 and only through the online store at www.frommildtowild.com.

For those of you who have been with us for a while, you may notice that the online store looks a little bit different.  That’s because it is!  We have recently completed an upgrade on the software that’s powering our spicy chunk of the world wide web and it we hope that you find the changes make it faster and easier to use.  One of the new features that we like is the ability to quickly and easily your favourite products with your friends and followers on social networks.  There is also an improved checkout interface that condenses everything down into a single page so you don’t need to step through a multi-page process in order to finalize your order prior to processing.  We welcome your feedback on the new and improved storefront, and we’re going to be working on tweaking a few more things over the next little while.

Regards,

Brian

Holiday News

Greetings everyone!

I’ve got a couple of things to let you know about in this news update.  First, we have posted our holiday cutoff mailing dates.  Your order has to be placed on or before the posted date for the shipping method that you choose.  A chart of the dates can be found on the main page of the hot sauce shop here.  I’ve chosen a reference city in each province to provide dates for.  If you need a date for another location not posted there, please email us and include the postal code and we’ll get to the inquiries as fast as possible in this busy season.

Secondly, I want to announce a new product line that’s just joined the From Mild to Wild lineup.  We are proud to announce the newest addition to the Canadian content of the store: Amiel’s Island Fire.  Brewed and bottled in Cardigan, PEI, Amiel will become a household name for those of you who like it HOT!  We’ve even got a few bottles of his special edition Red Dirt Revenge, which is a 1 million scoville pepper extract that’s very attractively package.  Check out all of the products of his that we’ve added so far right here.  We look forward to expanded coverage of the product line in the new year.

Lastly, I want to mention to those of who are holiday deal seekers that we’ve got an offering through the Holiday Shoppe that’s been together by Wagjag.com.  We’re offering a discount coupon where you can get $40 worth of purchasing power for only $20.  This is applicable towards all products in the online store except the Hot Sauce of the Month Club.  You can check out all the details of the deal here.

For anyone that was looking for anything to come back into stock, we’ve got almost all of what we’re going to have in stock to wrap up this year.  If you’re still looking for something that we usually have that you can’t find, drop us a line and I can let you know the status.

From Mild to Wild Hot Sauce Shop wishes you all the best in this holiday season!

Cheers,

Brian

Summer sale!

I had written a newsletter to send out about a month ago and just realized that it never actually got sent (oops).  So I’m sending it out now.  I extended the special summer offer for all of you gourmet spicy food fans out there.  What offer is that? The next 100 customers to place an order have will get 30% off their purchase of our products (excluding Hot Sauce of the Month Club orders). For those of you that are on our Facebook page, you’ve seen this offer already, but for those of you just on our email mailing list this will be new. Just use coupon code ‘summer30′ at the bottom of the shopping cart page to get your discount.  Just head over to the online store to take advantage of it.

Also, don’t forget that we recently implemented free shipping for all orders over $65! You can take advantage of this in conjunction with coupon code discount we’re offering. If your order subtotal exceeds $65, all Canadian customers will see the option to get ‘Free shipping via expedited.’

I hope that everyone is enjoying a great summer and that we can help make it hotter and spicier for you!

Regards,

Brian

Stanley Cup Game 7 Challenge – Round 1

Hey all -

I’m a huge hockey fan, and I’m really excited for tonight’s game 7 matchups.  I’m so excited that I’m going to make a special offer for all of you that happen to catch this in time.  Correctly predict who’s going to win their Game 7 matches AND correctly predict the final score for the game and I’ll send you a free bottle of a special private label habanero grilling sauce (a 12 oz bottle) absolutely free!  No shipping charges or anything – it costs you nothing.  Also, for those who don’t the scores right but correctly predict the winners of both games, I’ll send you a special 25% off coupon code by email.  In order to qualify for this offer, I need your score predictions in my email inbox (info@frommildtowildcom) prior to puck drop tonight.  I’ll be monitoring my email to see who gets their predictions in on time.  The free sauce offer is just for our Canadian customers due to shipping costs.  Any customer in our regularly serviced area is eligible for the coupon code.

Just to summarize:

  • Correctly predict the winner AND the final score of both games and I’ll send you a free bottle of our private label habanero grilling sauce.
  • Correctly predict the winner of BOTH games (without having to correctly predict the scores) and get a 25% off special coupon code emailed directly to you tomorrow (coupon code good until the end of May).

If you get both the scores and the winners, we’ll send you the coupon code as well as the free sauces (I figured that would be something that I would get asked anyway, so we’ll head that one off now).

So get crackin’ and send in your picks!  Just to make it fun, here are my picks:

New York Rangers: 2, Washington: 4

Carolina: 3, New Jersey: 4

What can I say, I like the hometown boys to win the big ones.  I guess we’ll see tomorrow how I did!  Good luck!

Cheers,

Brian

Monthly Newsletter

Well, it’s been a little bit since the last newsletter, so there’s lots to report.  We’ve been working on some renovations, so that’s kept our hands full for the last little while.  I’ve got a lot of new products to tell you about, so let’s get right down to it.

We’ve just picked up a new product line from Belize that’s a great rival for Marie Sharp’s with some interesting new products.  The Hot Mama’s product line is definitely worth checking out.  Aside from their great hot sauce that we brought in, their own Fiery Hot Habanero hot sauce, we’ve also got a Sweet Pepper Sauce and a Manganero Sauce.  The Sweet Pepper Sauce is a thinner version of their Habanero Pepper Jelly, and it makes a great glaze, and addition to a dip or just for sweetening up anything from grilled meats to your pancakes or waffles.  The Manganero Sauce is a blend of Habanero Peppers and Mangos that makes for a wonderful sweet with heat taste.  Again, I’ve been using this on anything from white meat to waffles.  With a great product likes this, the sky’s the limit.

Not to forget the Habanero Pepper Jelly, which we’ve been trying to find a good one of for a long time.  That mates great with the Habanero Peanut Butter which we’ve got back in stock now for all those who were looking for it when we sold out of it in record time last time it came in.  It’s back, for now.  A great all natural product, it’s only ingredients are ground peanuts and ground habaneros.  Whip up a PB&J sandwich that will never be the same again!

Also, we’ve got an organic chili pepper sauce called Kaitaia Fire.  This product of New Zealand blends organic peppers and all natural ingredients to make a fantastic fiery sauce that is certified organic.  This isn’t one to miss if you want to try something new and natural with a great fiery kick to it.

With the improvement in the weather in the last couple of weeks, we’ve been firing up the grill at home almost daily.  Just the other day we had a couple racks of ribs that were just amazing with the Bad Byron’s Butt Rub (4.5 oz shaker or  24 oz container)- one of the best dry rubs that we’ve ever had.  To celebrate our return to the grill (I know that some of you never stop – call me a wimp if you want to) we’re offering 20% off all of our dry spice/rub collection.  Just log into the online store, add some to your cart and enter the coupon code “spiceitup” to get 20% off everything that you order from that category.

We’ve got some other new products that have come in, and I’m going to try and keep posting new things in the blog at least weekly.  Don’t forget to check it out at www.frommildtowild.com/blog to keep up with what’s new!  Also – we’re looking to bring some new salsa products into the product line up.  If there are any that you’d recommend or would like us to bring in, now would be a great time to drop us a line!

Happy Grilling!

A quick early spring update

Hi Everyone -

I haven’t been the best about keeping this up to date, but I want to let you know some of what’s gotten done in the last little while.  We’ve just finished our inventory and gotten everything that is in stock now listed in the online store.  Check out our New Products section for a bunch of new items, including a certified organic hot sauce that just happens to come all the way from New Zealand!  (and it will really rock your tastebuds)  It’s called Kaitaia Fire.  Check it out.  We also picked up a number of products from the Hot Mama’s line from Belize.  Those of you who are into the Marie Sharp’s products should definitely check these out – they are fantastic and include a Manganero sauce – that’s mango and habanero, a Sweet Pepper sauce, Habanero Jelly and of course a great hot sauce.

I’m going to go into more detail when I get the newsletter for the spring done as well.  One other thing to look at is the update to the On Sale and Specials section of the store.  This has just been loaded with a bunch of products that we just cut the prices on (I know that it was getting a little bare in there).

Just something to whet your whistle – and oh yeah – the Habanero Peanut Butter is back in stock as well! (although, at it’s current rate, not for long).

Drop me a line if there’s anything else you’re lo0king for in the meantime!

Cheers,

Brian
