Patience is the Key..............
It is my opinion that some investors on this board are impatient and have an unrealistic goal that this company is going to make them a multi millionaire overnight. I see this especially in young investors who lack overall work and real world experiences.
I would encourage all of us to exhibit patience, especially in these difficult economic times, and allow the WNBD team to execute their business plan. Enjoy all the positive activity of WNBD as this truly is a gem. In due time I believe we will all be rewarded and considering the business plan, this reward will build as additional products launch following the success of WC and bring us all great joy for a long, long time.
Patience is the Key.......... HR
FFF.......I did not push to speak with Lowes leadership as that is not appropriate. It is only a 60 minute drive so I will continue to conduct DD and look forward to the day when I will be able to post pictures of WC at Lowes.
Soon FFF, Soon............HR
I visited Lowes in Steubenville, OH today...........
I made the trip to Lowes. It is a newer store with a large paint section. Unfortunately, the gentleman working the paint desk is not made aware of incoming products/timelines. The manager was not available as it was the lunch hour. I will continue to investigate and report findings. I took a couple pictures of the exterior and look forward to taking some of our NA baby, hopefully soon !! HR
Road Trip, Steubenville OH, Tomorrow !!!

Pug.... I am about 90 minutes away.
Hopefully we will get a PR letting us know the exact day but just for fun I will take a road trip early next week. Camera will be fully charged....... HR
Sean..... Maybe due to the fact that Lowes will not have product until March is why the logo is not posted as a retail partner on that page........ Just a thought... HR
Road Trip on Monday..... Steubenville
I plan to go see our new baby on Monday and will send pictures to the family !!! Maybe buy a few presents while there to enter into the 100K contest.

The Future is Green............. Go WNBD and Blessings to All
"The Future is Green. Are you?"
Eric doesn't use the term green for our products, but he did use it on the IHub ad. I think he is referencing our future SP and a NA is truly in our future.
Any thoughts? All the Best........HR

Thank you
Goodwill/Marketing Concept - Greensburg Kansas
I just noticed on the discovery channel that Greensburg, Kansas, which was devastated in early May by a F4 Tornado is going to be showcased on Discovery as they rebuild the first ever all "green" community. I believe this would be an ideal time to have WNBD work with Greensburg and Discovery on contributing all of our products to support the initiative. The Goodwill and marketing potential could be huge.
I would guess that one of the National(HD or Lowes) leaders will be involved as well.
Just thinking Eric should look at this option and wanted to get feedback. I do not know the scope but I think it is worth investigating. Thoughts ??? HR
Matty Please re-read your post 29478 and let us know what changed. Thanks HR
Toronto Green Show Inquiry.. Eric's response...
Please find below Eric's reply regarding his impressions of the Toronto Green Show. I am unable to post the embedded pictures that are part of Eric's reply. Sorry, maybe I can forward to SB for Ibox consideration. The text follows:

Subject: RE: Private Investor Note - Toronto Green Show
Hello XXXX –
The Green Living Show was an opportunity to distribute 2,000 4oz sample bottles of Winning Colours Stain Remover to consumers in person, in direct support of our principal retail partners who were sponsors of the show, Home Depot and Wal-Mart.
The up-close and personal atmosphere of a consumer show allowed us to assess what the response is of the public to our basic marketing assumptions. Speaking with 2,000 people is a significant advance over consumer focus techniques used by themselves. Fortunately, we found that virtually everyone had a positive moment when they understood that they were about to receive a versatile, powerful and safe stain remover. Almost everyone has stains – there was confirmation that stain removal was a high-perceived-value benefit, especially on delicate surfaces that are ordinarily off-limits to harsher products. Several were even removed at the show on the spot! This is an important affirmation of our basic business plan which envisages a growing momentum for Winning Colours Stain Remover to spearhead our projection into the consumer marketplace with high performing special mass products.
Also, we took further steps to acquaint the public with the new CLEAN1 and KIND brands. Naturally these are still much earlier in their life cycle than Winning Colours Stain Remover. Our plan is to help our retail partners to become successful with Winning Colours as a favourite stain removing product and build on that authentic credibility for additional listings. You might enjoy the attached photo of the venue in which the Green Living show took place.
Interestingly, we are not relying on our product names to project a green image. This is because the environmental field is undergoing an explosion of interest, including amongst manufacturers of competitive products. However as is often the case with sudden mass movements, there is also a certain “sameness” to much of the result. After a while, “Green” this and “Green” that all becomes generic. A surprising number of companies are committing themselves to this long term error (in my opinion) of embedding such a generic and widely used word in their name. Winning Brands is “post-eco” in its product positioning. We are not narrow-casting the message of the convenience and effectiveness of our products to an audience whose interest is only in green products. Our products are mainstream products, that just happen to be technically oriented to environmental formulation (which is also a continuous work in progress). Our products have the potential to become widespread favourites in their categories regardless of a person’s degree of interest in the subject of the environment.
KIND for example, is not just about being “green” in the environmental sense, but also about kindness to skin, to clothing, to the equipment that it runs in, etc. The relationship of kindness is in our view a more interesting premise than mere “environmental” positioning. It includes the environmental concept but builds on it for a more mature relationship with the consumer characterized by a more complete rapport over a number of criteria of decision making.
CLEAN1, with its direct and powerful simplicity of name and purpose, will also evolve naturally into a “first choice” mindset amongst the consumers who discover it – a first choice for all sorts of reasons, not merely the environmental ones.
Why am I saying all this in paradoxically in connection with our participation in the Green Living Show? The reason is that this is the toughest audience. If these well informed and discerning members of the consuming public find sufficient comfort with the eco orientation of the products, then the current designs and positioning will not be a problem for us in that regard in any consumer sector.
Below is a picture of the future – a future consumer with her future favourite brand of laundry product.
In closing, the picture below reveals the progress of the firm. Everything at the show was an accomplishment relative to our recent beginnings as Winning Brands.
The people, the products, the promotional exposure – it’s all happening. Not long ago it was only a dream. “Tomorrow” it will be a success story!
You are welcome to share these thoughts as you would like. Thank you very much for your interest in Winning Brands Corporation. We, the staff group, are highly motivated to work for our stakeholders. Remember too, that all staff are shareholders – every single one. Our interests are aligned with our investing shareholders.
Best regards,
Eric Lehner, CEO

Tib....This European activity is big news... IMO
To identify warehouse space and begin sending product(s) by Ship is exciting information. Global !! Eric delivering again. Awesome..HR
Strategic move considering the amount of competition and in some cases the proximity of other HD's. IMO HR
Long Term Investments require Patience.....
WNBD products will soon be in a store that is a short ride from your house. Not just one product, multiple products.
Have the patience to let the company execute the Business Plan and IMO we will be reporting very soon a financial story that will make all the patient longs happy, forever !!
We have products that work and are the favorites of those who have used them. Imagine when these products are in the hands of *millions* of new US customers.
Best wishes..... HR
He and his team may be very busy in preparing for the Toronto Green Show...
You will be an Olympic Gold Medalist at the 100 meter freestyle....IMO.....
I am hoping to drive up from Pittsburgh for the weekend. HR
IMO, if we just give Eric the neccessary time and exhibit patience, WNBD has the revenue potential over the next 12 months to bring exciting returns for all of us, no matter if you are at .04 or .004 or .0004. The products work and will gain popularity across the globe. Wow !! The more I think the more excited I get. We all want immediate and daily growth because we know what we have. We just need to stay focused on the goal, remain patient and have the rest of the world recognize this gem. Earth Day and Toronto Green Show this coming week !! Good Luck and Blessings.. HR
Yes, Clorox is on the flyer as one of the ECO options on mine in Pittsburgh. I was just saying that all HD ECO options will have a special orange ECO label. Maybe... we needed to comply with this ECO label or maybe it is an add on label that HD hangs on.
I still feel that Earth Day is WNBD Day as well.. Just MO
Got mine in PA announcing the ECO Options special label that will be orange and on all ECO products.
Scups... I am pulling for the Bruins
My Penguins would love to see BB win. Crosby, Malkin, Hossa are making a cup run...

Teachen, Why don't you put on your I am a simple stupid idiot Steeler hat and ask some more basic DD questions? Your "routine" is obvious and shameful. Personally I am fed up with your tactics. You will never influence the longs with your stupidity. We understand WNBD and will back Eric as his plan is solid and meaningful. Managing a world class business requires adaption to change. If one is unable to adjust to things out of ones control, then that is when you have concern. I am tired of you. Your input has ZERO value.
