Hey guys, I touched base with Jeff yesterday and wanted to share his response. It helps to answer some of the questions we have been asking lately. I asked about the Margarita and Cocounut Rum releases, co-packing clients, social media presence and whether or not we can watch his presentation on Monday.
Hi ****,
Yes we quietly put those products out in time for 420 without any fanfare because in truth the majority of the supply is being used for free samples and testing. The rum isn’t being used in photos because all of it is being used for samples and not outside commercial availability. More is coming out next week and CMX will start bringing to more stores for broader commercial availability then. Social media will start ramping up at that time too.
I don’t believe Monday’s event is being streamed live. I don’t even think it’s open to all conference attendees, just industry people. Should be great exposure. I already have a lot of interest from co-packers, including some major beverage alcohol companies, and this should further enhance our exposure for this service. The deals should start coming out.
Best,
Jeff
