Açaí berry suppliers can not meet excess demand and are asking promotional partners to reduce advertising spending or operate at their own risk.

Brisbane, Australia (FreePressReleases) November 15, 2008 – Açaí berry suppliers can not keep up with demand. Suppliers are operating at capacity every day of the week. Many promotional partners have been told to reduce advertising spending, or operate on their own risk, in order to decrease surplus demand according to a spokesperson from http://www.TheAcaiResource.com.

The açaí berries have a host of health benefits, including, but not limited to antioxidant properties, rich in omega fatty acids, dietary fibres, protein, etc. For a comparison, the antioxidant content in açaí berry is thought to be as much as thirty times greater than in red wine. These antioxidants contribute to better health by slowing the aging process, reducing the risk of stroke, and much more. In general, free radicals (what antioxidants neutralize) are thought to contribute to cancer and diabetes.

Since being mentioned on the Oprah Winfrey Show as Dr. Perricone’s No. 1 Superfood, suppliers of açaí berries have seen a surge in sales. The Amazon berries have become very popular as a cleansing treatment and as a supplement to weight loss diets.

Part of the reason why suppliers can not meet demand is due to the way the product is being promoted. There is a common sales promotion being used in the industry that gives buyers a free sample and a trial subscription. Customers usually pay for shipping and handling and receive the product for no additional upfront charges. This convenient sales promotion and significant media coverage is likely to have caused the sudden rise in popularity.
