iHi Partnership with The Prince Edward Island Sea Salt Company
iHi is super excited about its recent partnership with The Prince Edward Island Sea Salt Company. PEI Sea Salt entered its 9th season of operation and has transformed the brand, the story, and the business model to create something much bigger than just fabulous finishing salts. As some of you may know, our founder, Darren C. Blanchard, is also the owner of PEI Sea Salt. And 2020 and 2021 were tough years for tourism and all offshoot industries and businesses that depend on an influx of people. This caused the salt company to redirect operations to the internet and social media to avoid disruption like in 20 & 21. Going from multiple markets and 78 stores across Atlantic Canada in 2019 to an online-only business model. This allowed for the opportunity to give the retail profit to iHi for content, support, and programming for mental health within our Island community.
40% of Sales to iHi
40% of profits from all sales on Saltsoftheearth.ca go to iHi. Also good to mention PEI Sea Salt has partnered with local people and businesses within our community who also benefit from various aspects of the product creation process or sourcing process. One example would be a few of the local men winning the battle again mental health issues who assist in the early stage salt-making process. Another would be that all of our 4-pack gift boxes are made by the Stars for Life Foundation. The Foundation is committed to creating a quality of life for young people with autism spectrum disorder, fully included in their community; with a commitment to continued education, life and job skills training, and inclusion.
HOW TO MAKE THIS A WIN
We need your help for this partnership to truly be a win win win situation. We hope you will help us spread the word and bring PEI Sea Salt to as many tables in the world as we can. If you are not able to purchase the salt for yourself but believe in our mission, please share our content, and mention it to people for gift ideas for everyone. We all eat salt. Even if you buy this promotion once a year, you will get amazing salt, cheaper than 90% of the competition, right to your door, and know that you are contributing to a great cause.
