Best of luck to you

I just got them. Thanks a bunch for doing that, I will forward contact information,

Thank you Sheepdog

What is a person mark?

I just re-read Eddie's letter that he sent out with the spec sheets, it is in there regarding the certification requirments. We should be certified shortly for distribution to Whole Foods too.

Eddie shipped samples of the salmon to the distribution center in Florida and the seafood coordinator as well as the seafood buyer reviewed them. They said they liked the product but did not bring it in at this time. I wanted to introduce it to them but I was not part of the followup conversation. The coordinator spoke with Eddie directly.

Been there done that :)

That is what I hear. I just checked on line and the opening date has not been posted yet for the first store to come to Florida but I know the lease has already been signed and word is it is very soon!

No you don't, you did absolutely fantastic Charles! Warren is right. One at a time is all it takes! Trader Joes is opening a Naples stores here this month (if not this month, in the upcoming near future this yearm - I will have to check their website for actual grand opening date). I have not yet shopped them, if you contact them, I will followup with a request to bring it into the Naples store here in Florida as soon as they open :)

I realy believe if we all act as a team we can help take this where ever we want to. Unique but very cool! Gotta Love SMKY!

You totally rock!
GO SMKY!!!!!!!!

Hi Piano Man
I do not have a membership to IHUB so I can not PM you. Can you PM me with yours and I will send you over the info?
Thanks!

My guess is that this time, yes they will and they will keep their word and post on time as promised. I have a good feeling about them at this point.

SMKY results time from day one!

I spoke with the frozen seafood buyer at the corporate office for Publix Supermarkets today (super nice guy). He was on the SMKY website today and has the companies spec sheet. If it were not labeled and retail ready it will be a year before they bring a new line in. If labeled/retail ready then it could be as fast as 2 months. No promises whatsover but he is looking into the product. Publix is the largest emplyee owned supermarket chain in the U.S. They have 750 stores here in Florida, 48 in Alabama, 183 in GA, 45 in S.C. & 31 in Tennessee.

Also approached Fresh Market - they only have 26 stores here in Florida but they have a presence in other states as well - 70 in VA, 3 Maryland, 5 SC, 4 Indiana, 1 NJ, 11 GA and more in AK, CN, IL, AL, KY, LA, MS, NY, OH & PA. I was focusing on Florida stores.
Went to quite a few local markets here (the nicer ones) and requested they bring it in including one little market that I love which is 4th Generation in Boca. They have such a great customer base and everybody that appreciates good quality food will love this salmon because of the no additives/preservatives, the way it is prepared and the taste of the finished product.

Today was fun and I hope good things come out of it. Let's see who the first lucky store is to get in SMKY.
If any of you live in the states above and shop at those stores email me and I will give you the contacts to the corporate buyers if you want to add a request for it to be brought into the store that you shop at too. Just look on line and have your store number ready if applicable.

Sorry so long :)

FB924 is the code on Facebook for 25% off on line order

I am in. I just sent you over an email.
Let's go SMKY!!!!!!!!!!

Your last three words are the most challenging.
I would have to stop watching the board and check back in a year.
Literally. :)

I don't know who is doing the small selling but I still fully expect to see this stock to be back up to forty's by end of November at latest w/upcoming news and am hoping for 70's by end of year.

I would love to see 1.25 by mid 2012.

GO SMKY!!!!!!!!

Yes I agree with what you are saying, only difference is I am not talking about bringing a 50K order in through a DC for distribution multiple stores in that region. Only the smaller locally based shops that have good volume. There are a handful near my house that I am aware of that are quite lovely and are always busy. It is a great type of customer to put SMKY infront of. The minimum order would have to be low for them and there would not be free demo product required by SMKY.

This is all only my opinion.

The point of that I meant to mention was that we don't want to portray outselves as paid reps from the company which we are not and should not pretend to be. I think that would make Eddie cringe. It could also hurt the company if it were not done right. A customer request is always a good thing though.Just a thought.

GO SMKY!!!

Yes, then we would be consistant in our representation and he can control the image/information that is put out there. I like that too. It would have to be something that we can say we printed off of the website such as a page that says "Do you enjoy our salmon - ask your local store to stock it for you" Not those words of course but you get the idea? We just have to make sure that if we ask a store to bring it in for us that we actually do follow through and support them by thanking them and buying the product while other shoppers are catching on.

How many companies have people across all 50 states behind them?
(I really don't know how many states on this board)..but you have to admit, we could potentially have a very positive impact if we acted as a cohesive team even though we are independent of each other regarding what regions we live in.

GO SMKY!!!

Agreed. The SMKY website is on the product packaging as well.
Hope Eddie likes the idea. If he does, I am going shopping tomorrow at multiple locations and asking if they would bring it in for me.

If each of tell at least 10 people that we love it and picked it up at (fill in the blank) we could get something started as a group.

GO SMKY!!

Yes, that hurts.
Charles..Sheepdog is in need.. :)

GO SMKY!!

Yes, I am only suggesting that for that same reason - I want to see it succeed too. No shortage of dedicated SMKY fans on this board.

With the holidays coming up I would love to see it in a couple of the local upscale markets here in Florida that sell both organic & natural foods if it provided more sales and exposure. They are always busy and their shoppers are very loyal. They do stock inventory based on customer request. I know that to be factually true.

I also just want to help more at a grass roots level if it is an option because I really do like the product and I think it deserves recognition. I am not okay with seeing the stock go sideways with no volume for two days and not at least offering or trying to help in some way.

Time will tell. I will wait to see what Eddie says. It has to work with what he already has planned and not against it.

What if we asked our local stores as customers if they would please bring SMKY salmon in for us? Is there enough oven capacity available to produce for that at this time? Some of the larger retail chains may say they can not make the decision there at the store level but certainly some really nice smaller local markets (family run or smaller chain) that taylor their stock specific to their customer requests would bring it in. No hugh quantites would be involved at first but we could still follow up and buy it through them while exposing the product to a whole new set of customers as well. Is that a viable option at this time?

Hi & welcom Forty Six & 2,

No, I can safely say it is not a scam. SMKY is a real company with a great CEO and has alot going on right now. Take some time if you haven't already and read through the SMKY notes posted on the top of the board. Eddie (the CEO) and is very transparent and communicates with all the stockholders pretty often regarding what is going on. You may have tried to order from the website prior to the ordering process going live. That happened I believe the same week the weight watchers campaign started. Someone can provide you with a link to a coupon too and I am sure they will. You have a mixed board here on IHUB. Alot of people on this board have been in SMKY from the beginning and are heavy investors and then you have people like me that have only been in from .027 - .40 but just keep continuing to add whenever possible.
People like SIX or Charles D are really good to talk to about the company specifics and the gentleman that runs the company (Eddie) is always available by email and phone as well.

Have a great day

The smoked salmon is exquisit and the signature BBQ sauce you end up eatting more by the spoonful than you do putting on the food.
They are both that super good.

Wow..i would say I totally missed the boat
On that buy..glad to see it though on the otherhand!

Congrates..i have an itty bitty order in for 1900 @.149..(very limited funds today)
I doubt it will fill now but if it does I will be thrilled. Wish
I had more available to invest in this right now..all I see
Is massive oppotunity rolling right by me and it is driving
Me nuts!
So excited about where this company is heading!
GO SMKY!!!

Yes! Thanks Sheepdog!
GO SMKY!!!

Sheepdog..bring our mascot back for a while okay?
I am not saying much while waiting on new computer
But remember this folks..stick together to keep in tack
The good things we have going for us that are unique
To this stock/board (if you feel so inclined). CEO is
Doing everything he said he was going to. SHARED FATE.
Let him do what he needs to do and show support to
Potential new members! Oh yeah..did I mention
Shared fate? It will be fine..relax :)

Ditto and this is my favorite part:

"This publicly traded company is the result of a totally relentless effort by the Founder, President and CEO Edward Feintech"

I can not wait to see the day in the very near future that all of your hard work comes back to you 10 fold!

Strong, aggressive, confident and exciting is how that PR came off to me. Fantastic.

GO SMKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think it will with more volume. If anyone has any more ideas on how to support besides buying product and introducing people to the stock, throw the ideas my way. I have to order more product, haven't done that since original order..brought 4 people into stock and am not a social media participant (don't belong to facebook or twitter)so any ideas past those listed above would be beneficial.

Come on..let's see SMKY back up in the 40's beyond!!

GO SMKY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have a sneaking suspicion the answer to why I like your dog so much is going to be in that story. :) PM that you posted it when you do so I don't miss it...

GO SMKY!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOPING FOR A GREAT WEEK NEXT WEEK!!

Just logged on and you all are probably way past this point in conversation but I just gotta say...IS THAT NOT THE CUTEST SMKY MASCOTT DOG IN THE WHOLE WORLD?!?!?!?!

Okay so that is two of us so far in Florida...we need to gather up "Team Florida" to sway Eddie to hold one down here!

Excellent idea!

Sheepdog,

You need to have your own line of tee shirts made up as a side business that have mascott dog's face on the tag in back or soft tag coming out of side seam (maybe with paw print for seal of approval) and have all SMKY logo shirts printed up on them! How great would that be??????

GO SMKY!!

Six and New Pennies,

On the topic of adveristing..did you know we could (I believe this is accurate) send over a sample logo to kinkos and I believe they can make just about anything out of it for VERY low cost such as clear applications that adhere to the rear window of your vehicle...possibly tee shirts applications? You get where I am going with that..I don't know if Eddie would want us doing that without him seeing/approving the finished product first but I for one would pay for advertising like that and use myself as a human advertising board :) and my vehilce as well! Just a thought. Another thought I had the other day is that when it comes time for SMKY to do their YUMMY fests, before you hire people, put out on the IHUB what cities and states they will be held in. If anything is down here in Florida, I would volunteer my time to work the event.
