Orgill – Online Store Ordering coming for 1000+ Stain Remover
Categories:
Launch Activity
by Eric Lehner
Our product had been approved by Orgill, a leading distributor to the hardware and home improvement sector, for drop shipping arrangements 4 years ago.. The order-taking process by Orgil sales personnel and their store customers was limited by Orgill to manual forms, at the time. In other words, hardware stores and the Orgill sales people who call on them, needed to fill out paper orders, as well as to obtain individual store credit approval from Orgill head office for each order, manually. This turned out to be an impediment to growth of 1000+ Stain Remover within the Orgill environment because the placement of orders was cumbersome for all parties. As we were a new, unproven product at the time, there was a limit to what the distributor was willing to do in bringing us fully into their system.
Since that time, 1000+ Stain Remover has shown perseverance, commitment to its market and generated positive ties to hardware stores across America, especially now through its listing by Do it Best.
Confirmation was given yesterday at the end of an in-person meeting between Winning Brands and appropriate Orgill senior management that 1000+ will be upgraded to online ordered drop-ship program for Orgill accounts. This means that all Orgill active accounts, numbering approximately 6,000, will for the first time be able to order 1000+ as easily as any other product that Orgill sells, and to charge the order to their Orgill account.
This provides 1000+ Stain Remover with higher visibility amongst Orgill’s 6,000 active accounts, access to direct-to-store online marketing programs, automatic Orgill-to-store credit approval and the basis for 1000+ Stain Remover to be at future Orgill Dealer Markets (Video Link: http://www.orgill.com/index.aspx?QType=100169 ).
This development will have a beneficial impact for 1000+ Stain Remover and Winning Brands because, for the first time it will become easy for Orgill’s 6,000 regular accounts to buy this product. There is only so much “hassle” that a retailer is willing to go through to order any product. Such down-to-earth practical issues are as important as any branding concepts in getting shelf space.
Orgill sales personnel will be involved in renewed awareness initiatives involving the Orgill organization, constituting a re-launch of 1000+ with new vigor at Orgill. Collaboration between Winning Brands and Orgill for practical implementation of this new higher profile will begin with the next two weeks and be ongoing thereafter.
It is more likely now that the high potential for this important distributorship can be realized. It will also increase the opportunities for international shipment consolidations to supplement what is already being done with Do it Best. http://www.orgill.com/index.aspx?QType=100185
More details will be provided when we are live on the system.

Do it Best Update

Launch Activity
by Eric Lehner
The number of Do it Best outlets that have ordered 1000+ Stain Remover for consumers has risen to 733 as at August 2012.
The Do it Best warehouse-to-store truck delivery program is convenient for member stores because members are permitted to order any number of individual units, not merely cases; even one or two bottles, since the truck comes twice per week anyway. Since inception of the 1000+ Stain Remover – Do it Best account in Q4 2011, these stores have taken delivery of 10,469 bottles (mixed sizes).
We have found that there is a direct correlation between store staff product knowledge and replenishment activity. The line graph below shows the trend over the past 8 months in the number of stores replenishing during each 30 day period amongst the core group of stores with whom we are communicating.
Do it Best still accounts for a small proportion of total Winning Brands sales in dollar terms, so this organic growth has not yet impacted Winning Brands totals significantly. The trend however is the key because the circumstances that are present in the Do it Best account are representative of the circumstances and structure of other buying groups that may join the 1000+ retail network eventually. Product turns, even within the existing stores, will benefit from deployment of additional marketing resources in due course

.The Customer Experiences Binder that we provide to our distributors’ sales teams is prompting an increase in photo testimonials. This unexpected one came from Tom Widdes of Dynamic. He was inspired to look for uses outdoors. Tom was surprised at what a dramatic difference 1000+ made outside of his own home and sent these pictures. The dramatic difference that 1000+ made to the appeal of his backyard landscaping in this Before, During and After picture speaks for itself. He carried on and used it on the rest of the rockery and was very happy. 1000+ is safe to use around plants, grass and animals. Thanks Tom for the initiative! Any sales professional prefers to speak about their product from the basis of honest personal experience.

.Do it Best May Market, Indianapolis. Dewalt Tools booth representative spills coffee all over her white pants. She goes to the nearby display of a competitor to 1000+ Stain Remover. She is given sample which does not do the job. Another exhibitor, located closer to us, heard of her situation and brought the lady to our booth instead. Within minutes the 1000+ Stain Rescue Center delivered satisfaction to her. She was able to keep her existing garments on rather than change, and resumed her activities. As a parting gift to us, she permitted us to record her satisfaction with this “head-to-head” test of the two brands.

.
As a follow-through from our debut at Sam’s Club Road Show in Q4 2011, our first 2012 event concluded this weekend in Houston. The end-of-aisle demonstration station is now called an Event Showcase, rather than Road Show. As a marketing test, we chose a single 11-day stretch rather than several sequential 4-day events. Our finding is that the days at the beginning of the week are less efficient than the end of the week. Therefore, multiple shorter events, timed strategically, seems better for us. We will bear this in mind in reviewing the Q2 dates offered. We have already received partial payment for the earliest part the March event and continue to appreciate the interest shown by Sam’s Club in 1000+ Stain Remover.

1000+ Stain Remover
I JUST USED YOUR PRODUCT AND I HAVE TO SAY IT’S AMAZING!
To whom it may concern,
I wanted to let you know that I picked up your product at Home Depot a few weeks ago when you had a booth set up.
...
My two year old had painted my new carpet with red nail polish a few months ago. I had tried everything from nail polish remover to varsol and paint thinner. Nothing worked! The best I received from those products was a disgusting smell for the last 2 months.
I just used your product and I have to say its amazing!!! Not only did it take all the stains out but it also eliminated the smell from the other products.
I was so impressed I also used it on a rust stain our pool table leg created and again in just a minute or two the stain was gone. I will ALWAYS use your product first and only for now on. I am actually excited to find new "issues" to try your product on and I am looking forward to trying it on our boat this summer.
Thank you for such an amazing product. You saved my carpet and my 2 year old from lots more "time outs".
Sincerely,
D.H.See More

Lancaster Update: Orders, Renewed Relationships

Launch Activityby Eric Lehner
.Orders are being placed, contacts expanded and acquaintanceships renewed today via face-to-face contact with some of Lancaster’s Northeast District account base. The map below, of Lancaster distribution facilities, shows the area of concentration for the Harford, Connecticut show.
This is the first time that our Retail Support Manager, Deberah Ruddy has met Scup and Dirty Dave, in person. It’s probably like meeting “celebrities” because their enthusiasm for the product, for Winning Brands in general and the destiny of 1000+ as a national brand is well known in the Winning Brands community.
The best single order today was for 480 bottles, mixed size – but that is the exception, not the norm.

Brand Equity – A Practical Example
Categories:
Testimonialsby Eric Lehner
.I wanted to share the note below, received today, because it illustrates the commercial opportunities for 1000+ Stain Remover in industry. I don’t discuss the industrial market as much as the consumer market, but the industrial sector is large. Today’s note is from a warehouse operation that likes our product, but forgot where our product was first purchased. Now the customer would like our help connecting them with a retailer that carries it in their preferred size. It reveals valuable “brand equity” when a customer seeks out a store that sells our product specifically, rather than the customer merely picking up “whatever” cleaning product their local store happens to carry. This commercial warehouse could obviously use anything that is currently available. Why do they make the effort of sourcing our product, specifically? They answer this question for us in their own words; it is “superior”. Brand equity is an important measure of a company’s enduring potential because a ”destination” product is worth more than a ”me too” (generic) product. 1000+ Stain Remover is a destination product. This is brand equity.
Dear Winning Brands; Our company is located in Mississauga and purchased in the past 4 ltr containers of Winning Colours (1000+). We use this for our warehouse upkeep, for example removing tape residue from melamine, or overspray from spray paint. It is a superior product. I have been instructed to place another order for 4 – 4 ltr jugs but can’t remember the company name that sells in 4 ltr containers. Would you kindly direct me to this company so that I can place and order. Thanks in advance.
