Forest, VA (PRWEB) November 21, 2005
Black Forest Corporation, Lynchburg, Virginia, a company that specializes in creating unique products, has recently developed a hi-tech, anti-bacterial Health Mask for Cold, Flu Allergy, and Cold Weather Protection.
According to a company representative, “while some of our masks may appear whimsical, don’t Be fooled! They are constructed of the latest state-of-the-art, ultra soft hydrophobic materials that wick moisture away from the body to make our masks cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. During manufacture, the fibers of this revolutionary material are embedded with a “permanent” antibacterial treatment that remains in the fabric for up to 100 washings. And unlike other hot uncomfortable masks that cut into your ears, the patent pending custom fit design provides hours of comfort”.
The motivation for developing a mask alternative was initially due to years of dealing with severe allergies. However, the inspiration for the mask’s appearance was greatly influenced by a student project investigating methods of reducing absences in school and the workplace. While the study concluded that wearing a health mask is the most effective means of defending and protecting against the spread of cold and flu germs, it also dealt with the difficulty of getting most Americans to wear a health mask. They further concluded the only way that would happen was to create a mask that Americans would want to wear… masks that would appeal to an individual’s interests and personality. These findings prompted BFC to take their patent pending comfort mask design one step further by offering a variety of patterns ranging from bugs and dinosaurs for children to flowers for the gardener, skulls and roses for the biker, and sports for the sports fan… and in the interest of making the wearing experience even more enjoyable, created antibacterial aroma mists specially formulated for use with their masks.
Following a year of development and market tests at festivals, the company launched its web site in September 2005. “Although it takes months to build web site rank and search engine familiarity, customers have found us. The demand has come from all over the country including the hurricane areas and Hawaii. Sales include a high percentage of reorders and initial orders for entire families, for friends and for employees. Additionally, customers have provided testimonials of their effectiveness and the fun they have wearing them, even when being worn to a restaurant reopening on Bourbon Street following the devastation”.
The masks and mists target individuals of all ages who suffer from allergies, Asthma, low immune system and those wishing to protect themselves from airborne effluents and germs. The CDC and many Health organizations now recommend that masks be worn to protect against colds and flu. A growing number of hospitals now request that all visitors wear a mask.
Based on customers’ initial reaction and response, the company believes their unique products answer an important need…products that Americans will want to wear. The masks are washable, affordable, easy to carry, provide a custom, comfort fit, can last for years, and are Made In The USA. They can be seen at www. BreatheHealthy. net
