The goal being, to cause CVS to place them in all their stores in plain site of every one of their customers. Advertising will help sales but having them available in every store is an important first step. It's great to see it's finally happening! Keith's the man! Thanks Keith!
The FDA is the reason why Actipatch isn't cleared for full body and the reason why we have the opoiod crisis in the first place. THE FDA IS THE PROBLEM!
This BS excuse that Actipatch works better on Women than Men is used, in my opioin, to keep the Opioids selling. The fact is the patch works and they need to clear it ASAP! The FDA changed the label on the use of Opioids from short term only to long term use so their #1 customer, Big Pharma, could make more money! Just watch this 60 minutes report for the truth on this corrupt government organization called the FDA! https://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-opioid-epidemic-who-is-to-blame-60-minutes/
Maybe the order's too dam big and Andy couldn't fill it with available inventory. I was afraid this would happen. Terrible problem to have...need money to purchase inventory. I imagine filling 9800 stores and 1100 MinuteClinics with 37 million patients visits would be difficult. Hope they can keep up with exponentially growth that just may be beginning.
I agree, too many have enjoyed profits at other's expense. Hopefully once the masses know about Actipatch this trend will be reversed some and these parasites will begin losing grip on their hosts.
Bioelectronics corp needs to apply the self perpetuating power of adversement. Advertising increases sales which generates additional revenue needed for even more advertising. Waiting on the FDA gives them "THE POWER"!!! DON'T WAIT ON THE FDA TAKE BACK THE POWER by pushing ahead with the indications given. OTC clearance for knee & heel is "THE conduit" needed for patches sold for other pain areas on the American customer's body. People will use Actipatch whereever they have pain. YOU PUT ACTIPATCH IN FRONT OF THE MASSES AND THEY WILL USE IT WHEREVER NEED BE BECAUSE IT WORKS! Have faith in the technology because it works. The company needs to have faith in their product and need to spend the money needed to increase sales and begin the self perpetuating power.
Make Actipatch popular by advertising it to America!!!!! DON'T WAIT ON THE FDA. TAKE BACK THE POWER[b/]
strange indeed....a tug-a-war between human health and the almighty dollar. It's just a backasswards system if you ask me. Imagine this...doctors getting paid only when people remain healthy...you'd see everything change then. They'd be less practicing going on and fewer patients dying for dollars.
How about placing ads on social media. Take advantage of the fact that it's where the younger folks are at most of the time. Teach them and they will tell their relatives in pain about it. I've read somewhere that you get the most bang for your advertising buck on the internet. Maybe Gramps could whip up another one of his great short videos for this audience.
Could use Twitter to spread the word too. I like their Social Targeting Ads program. It looks interesting and could be a great way to get the word out more effectively.
The way I see it, is this...Big Pharma has a lot to lose if this little company becomes successful. These patches cause people to take fewer pills, not good for their business. So, what would you do if you were them? Lean on the FDA to stall them. Maybe it's all designed to make Andy think, hey, they're coming around and maybe we'll get a partner soon. NHS kept OTC sales from flowing.....Maybe Big Pharma knows exactly what they are doing.
Trick them, trip them up and run them out of business quicker!
Heard any private equity firm rumors?
It's way past time to begin advertising them but better late than never! The focus should have been on generating sales and not FDA clearance. Once the FDA hears this company won't be going out of business they'll approve.
In this case it will...their pain's our pain.
so much wasted time......
Actipatch would have already of sold well if it were available in US stores and was advertised. I guess this is still slowly happening.
If applicable, the new Right to Try Law could equal huge sales. I hope Actipatch gets to all Veterans that want to try it. Our Veterans deserve to be helped by this affordable and harmless technology that simply works.
That's the best news I've heard in a while. Multiple CVS brick and mortar stores are beginning to sell Actipatch. Finally it's available to the general public. It's about time!
If you have a headache place it on your forehead....no need for a nightlight!
Just thought of something. Why not different color patches. Women wear blouses that are semi transparent. If they wear a black blouse and they turn a black patch around the light won't show either. I bet these people would buy several different colors to match their apparel. See, complains should be welcome because they sometimes spark ideas.
No doubt they are influencing the stall. They will lose money if Actipatch becomes popular. They know it works and will do everything in their power to protect their market share. I've been around long enough to know our government is corrupt. It works off bribery via lobbyists and back door deals. I would have been shocked if the FDA approved whole body use when they allow heel and knee. The back is a very big problem with so many people that it wasn't allowed and may not be for sometime. The FDA works at a snails pace and has to answer to nobody for the time they take. It's criminal that they stall the full approval as people continue to die, imo. How DO they sleep at night?
WOW, who would have guessed? Now, imagine the masses seeing ads for the knee patch across America. They too could use it wherever pain struck regardless of what the all mighty FDA allows. Now, just imagine the profits and stock increasing from ever increasing revenues shown in the quarterly reports! Wake me up when this finally happens. I'll be the guy sleeping wicked high on the overstuffed mattress!
It's simple. The FDA is controlled by big pharma. I'm sure they were told to delay, stall move to the bottom of the pile Actipatch's whole body clearance until Bioelectronics goes out of business. It's BS that DHS is happening so slowly and someone has put the heel patch on hold but the Knee is still free to be advertised OTC but isn't. Why Andy doesn't allow it to be advertised is beyond me. If I was CEO advertising just this one product indication would have made it a household name like Band-Aid by now. IMO he's wasting time waiting on the ever stalling slow slithering BP owned FDA. It's frustrating to watch this product and stock go nowhere when they both have such great potential.
If they advertised it wouldn't matter when it went off but otherwise who knows when the FDA will make this extremely difficult decision.
NOW THEY SHOULD ADVERTISE THE NEW FDA CLEARED ACTIPATCH
Hopefully soon BIEL's PPS won't be the only improvement.
The highly satisfied customers should equal repeat sales and new sales. This product has exponential potential once it's known both nationally and internationally in my opinion!
Isn't it great that Actipatch is USA FDA Cleared for Knee Pain & that it doesn't just mask pain but actually heals the pain away! Imagine how it would sell when they finally advertised it to Americans with knee pain! People would naturally beginning placing this new device on other areas of the body and get pain relief there too!
ADVERTISE ACTIPATCH FOR KNEE PAIN & THEY WILL COME!
IMHO it should be like this.....
a. Sell some biel & advertise the OTC cleared Actipath product NOW across the USA! The stock will finally rise from the profits
b. FDA full body clearance(bet profitability helps clearance....think FDA realizing, this problem ain't GOING AWAY!)
c. Dr Scholl’s licensing agreement (Probably depends on b happening)
d. CVS US retail(Probably also depends on b happening)
Icing on the cake... Winning the FDA innovation in November
EXACTLY! So often times it happens....that we live our lives in chains...And we never even know we have the key. ADVERTISE ACTIPATCH YOU HAVE OTC APPROVAL AW!
Thank you for this common sense post. The FDA is holding back the Actipatch pain reliever from being used on the whole body? NOT REALLY!!!! AW can advertise the Actipatch Knee patch for pain and it's common sense to believe folks will use it on other body pain and they will discover it works there also!!!!Not a stretch just good old common sense!!!
"Just what they and we need, more dilution." Already got 20 billion what's 500 million more?
"Money is not best spent on advertising right now."Time is money....the longer we wait the broker they become.Half a mill a quarter.....again, Time is Money!
"Soft rollout means NO ADVERTISING as this is a test to get a feel for demand for the product." The sales response from Dr Oz told me all I needed to know. Soft rollout=too scared to execute, imho.
"They are waiting for bigger clearance." Yes but never count your chickens before they hatch. Time is money....
"They are prioritizing manufacturing and other expenses over advertising." Some of the 5 billion shares should be used for a small advertising campaign to introduce the public to the NEW FDA APPROVED ACTIPATCH!
"Unfortunately to the dismay of many, that's their strategy. You'll all just have to accept it." I have for a long time and I see it isn't working and now I'm trying to get AW to cash in some biel and advertise the NEW FDA CLEARED ACTIPATCH KNEE PATCH!!!
They have 5 billion shares just sell some. Put out a pr stating your intentions to advertising actipatch nationwide and sell into the good news. If it drops the PPS some, so be it. Then I and other longs will be buying more BIEL stock for less andfor the last time. The funds will create much needed sales and people will finally know Actipatch exists. Don't believe people don't know about Actipatch yet? Ask a few people in Walmart if they ever heard of Actipatch? I have and they reply, what's Actipatch?
Fire the CEO! No, he's old but not inept. He needs helpful ideas is all IMHO. AW, PLEASE ADVERTISE THE KNEE PATCH! I like the guy and he has brought the company this far but I wish he would advertising the Actipatch Knee patch and why not he has OTC approval from the FDA and online URL's to sell from....Heck he is even beginning sales in a couple of brick and mortar stores! PLEASE ADVERTISE THE ACTIPATCH BECAUSE IT WORKS! The FDA even believes it works and is safe! THE KEY AW IS ADVERTISING. YOU'VE BUILT IT THEY WILL COME IF THEY KNOW IT EXISTS!!!!ADVERTISE ACTIPATCH
Like I said long ago. The FDA is waiting for Bioelectrics' to become profitable or cease to exist. If AW advertised just the Actipatch knee patch Americans would suddenly know that Actipatch even exists and online sales would explode! It's almost like big pharma is paying someone to make all the wrong moves in order to block Actipatch sales? What do you think? Big pharma has a lot to lose and plenty of money to bribe with. I hope I'm wrong but I may not be.
I guess it's FDA or bust. Pray the FDA doesn't just continue stalling until Bioelectronics goes out of business!
Go FDA!!!!
I've heard AW state that the products just don't sell well. IMO this is AW's problem. He doesn't have faith in his own products. I say BS, THEY DO SELL, he just hasn't been able to target the USA. When they were on Dr Oz for just a few minutes they sold like crazy until someone alerted the FDA and they stopped sales. We Americans have pain and expendable cash to spend on pain remedies. Bioelectronic's just needed the FDA's okay on 1 product for over the counter sales in the USA and what does AW do with that green light? He decides it's time to educate doctors about Actipatch? WHAT!? Maybe it was because NHS. I'm not sure but he should have said a BIG THANK YOU to the FDA and began ADVERTISING THE LIVING SHET OUT OF AT LEAST ONE OF THOSE TWO PRODUCTS ACROSS THE GOOD OLD USA!!!!! Sales would have exploded and so would've the stock price. Then the company could continue expanding there advertising world wide using funds generated from U.S. sales and their exploding share price. I'm floored that all this wasn't blatantly obvious to AW. All this depresses the help out of me. It's still not to late AW. Please heed my advise andADVERTISE AT LEAST THE KNEE PATCH TO THE USA SO PEOPLE KNOW ACTIPATCH EVEN EXISTS!!!!!!!!!!!PLEASE HEED MY ADVICE AW
Once they start an advertising campaign it will sell well in
America.
There's a reason why the USA uses 80% of pain medicine and is less
than 5% of the worldwide population.
We have a lot of overweight, overworked folks in pain.
Americans live to work while the rest of the world works just
enough to live.
The key to selling these patches is A D V E R T I S I N G!
If I were the CEO, I would sell enough shares to advertise the
heck out of the knee patch far and wide. Cable TV, radio,
magazines and internet would be targeted.
Wouldn't be long and everyone would be taping it to where ever
they had pain. It's just human nature to do so because it's safe!
To be on the safe side, some time in 2019. If our FDA works at it their careful steady best. At the current speed why would they be wrapping all that biel work up during the holiday season. I bet slipping the flask by security's a breeze during the Holidays.....they may even give a jolly cheers on the way by. I lost faith in our government although I've been becoming more optimistic the last couple years regardless of FDA's lackluster performance which never ceases to amaze. Git er done! WITH ALL THE GREASE ON THEM HANDS, SURELY THEY SHOULD BE EASILY PULLED OUT FROM UNDER THEIR POSTERIORS! YA THINK? FDA gods, WOULD YOU PLEASE HELP US ALREADY?
BUT with that kind of scratch wouldn't BIEL be higher than a mere .0024!? IMHO I believe they know their money is more effective thrown at the All Mighty FDA? What do you think? That they're actively investing in little ole' BIEL!?
Thank You!
I don't believe Bioelectronics has done anything wrong at this point. The fault lies clearly on the shoulders of the all mighty FDA, big pharma and every doctor who ever broke their Hippocratic Oath by Over-prescribing the poison. It's obviously a concerted effort to cull the population and I'll WHINE ABOUT THAT CONTINUOUSLY BECAUSE IT'S WHAT WE THE PEOPLE SHOULD ALL BE DOING! Remember, "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke) it's also biblical! :O
Will today be the day the FDA decides to do there job and give Actipatch full clearance? WHAT ON EARTH ARE THEY AFRAID OF? A 3 volt device which is proven safe and helps reduce pain? We The People should demand Actipatch's clearance! WRITE & CALL YOUR SENATOR'S and Congressmen. SOUND THE ALARM! PEOPLE ARE DYING FROM PAIN PILLS AS THE FDA SITS IDLY BY AND WATCHES THE CRISIS THEY IN FACT HELPED CREATE! They should be held accountable for every last death!
Yes and FRIGIN FDA are highly competent professionals? WHAT!!? Hey if kissing their you know what works I say kiss it long and hard if it helps! Whatever it take to get full clearance they've tried everything else under the sun! God knows we've all had to wait WAY TOO LONG ALREADY! HEY FDA! Chop, chop, git her done already. Didn't you know people are dies while your scratching your azz's? If this device was damn drug it would have already kill half a million people by now and been taken off the market!!!! FRUSTRATING BUNCH OF UNMOTIVATED UNPROFESSIONAL BUREAUCRATS but that's just my opinion of course not the companies! Soon Jesus will be here asking them what's the damn problem was! If you're extremely patient like me, they'll drive you to drink too! GO BUDWEISER! oops, I mean BIEL! GOD KNOWS THIS BULL SHET!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes, sometimes you have to just throw in the towel when it becomes unbearable. The FDA should give Actipatch full body approval soon. It sure would help with this pain pill mess they helped create. I doubt it would solve it but it will help. Good luck!
