I wrote Bevmo about the listings inquiring if I could place an order soon and send to friends of mine in Cali.
Here is the response "thanks for your message we are currently working on the paperwork and should have Bellissima Prosecco in Ca in about a month"
I was sent that message at 7:31 tonight. $$$$$
Perfect timing for that Phase 2 rollout.
Oh you are so wrong. Gerard's only had 800 orders on backorder in the fall after the CB episode aired on National TV CBS Sunday Morning. Your marketing strategy of sending in shot girls would bankrupt this like many other which have tried gorilla style marketing and failed. Well gues what people of all age know who Christie Brinkley is from 30+. She is a powerhouse and looks better at 62 then most 40 year olds.
These brands in due time will get bought out by a major conglomerate if Rich and the advisers think it's in our best interest or they will continue the brand extensions and keep us rolling in the profits.
Keep it up Bellissima sales team for one of the best controlled nationwide roll outs I have ever witnessed. Keep posting bottles let's see 2000 stores.
It doesn't need a PR all it needs is little bottles on the map in Cali, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan .....
That will make it spike.
We can all do our own little part by sharing some of the Bellissima Facebook page posts. Only 2700 likes right now and comments under pictures about people wanting this in their city. If we all have hundreds of FB friends this could reach 100,000's for free. Write comments about where people can buy online to assist in increasing sales. We all own a small part let's help this thing grow into the beast we all hope for.
The LinkedIn profile is up for Russ Benwell (Owner of the Red Barn market in the video). I don't pay monthly so I cannot In mail him. I have asked for a connection. Once he approves I will inquire about the video and PLACEMAKER app and post the results here.
It won't work through my phone just go to:
Imbutek.com. And click on the Placemaker Icon the video will pop up.
That website actually gives me a little optimism that things are about to change. NOHO former director Jason Schwenck had all of the red bull connections for distribution of NOHO hopefully these relationships are still in place with the new team to get things moving in that revenue stream.
The PLACEMAKER App you tube video is amazing and a story that was completed by MSNBC. I will be trying to get a hold of Russ Benwell at Red Barn markets to see if they still use the app.
Let's get this thing rolling.
We have product already in Texas let's send a bunch to NRG Stadium for the Super Bowl celebrations. Need ski goggles like the MLB players though so it doesn't get in their eyes. That will sure get us exposure I am sure CB can text some of the players to pull that off LOL.
They for sure will have end aisle posters and pop up banners of CB holding a bottle near the displays. The only reason it's selling so fast already is the connection people have made. Whether it industry people talking about it or managers seeing the PR that has already been done. It's a pretty easy sell to stores when you drop her name.
I think in one of the pictures along the way there is a pop up banner in the background. Just cannot find it.
It's easy to create a map that gets people excited. But when we have 40 cases + of pictures from the stores that BLOWS my mind. Keep up the great work group. If we can ask stores how the product is selling and post that info that could give us a better gauge at the rate of sale.
As I have written before when it comes to Ontario through the LCBO we all can see stock levels on a daily basis from the previous night close of business by store. Does anyone else know of some of the online inventory lists that may exist? Maybe we have some store buyers here or know of them through this investment. For that amount of stock in a store front near the cash area is massive. That is prime usually paid for space. I think just the CB name mention is getting us free floor space.
Thanks for the great pictures.
Agreed that will make a great PR. People are over reacting to every little win. In time as we watch the map and listings grow we know where the brands are located. We just don't know how many cases locations have or are selling. The Greatest PR will be when we are selling over 30,000 cases per month. Great projections from many about how many cases we can actually sell. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
This is not news worthy for Albertson's to issue a PR we all have a vested interested in these brands. They deal with suppliers which are 1000x times larger then Bellissima is right now. Yes we have Christie Brinkley which is amazing but she can only ride a horse in one city at a time.
I think the map even underestimates the number of stores we are in. I looked at Spec's in Houston and searched Bellissima which brought up the Zero sugar sparkling NV. Here is the availability by store in Houton alone. Wow. It doesn't show exact number of units.

I don't see why we cannot surpass the run that RMHB has had in a couple of months when we have sales figures and multi state distribution channels filled. Looking forward to the ride of my life. GO TIME!
Call them for yourself. I spoke with Amanda.
I doubt that she said it happened the week after the tv segment. Not that many followers at that point.
I placed an order on the phone today with a lady from Gerard's shipping to Florida. They had 800 orders on backorder alone after the Television feature in Nov. When they got replenished with stock all orders were filled. With all this media we won't have an issue reaching 30,000 cases per month. Keep it up Christie.
Steely I totally agree. I worked for Ab InBev in Ontario for 10 years and this reminds me of Bud Light Lime coming into Canada. Our team in Southwest Ontario alone sold 120,000 case of bud light lime in 6 weeks. Total channels, bars, beer stores and liquor stores. This is hot right now because everyone in The world knows who Christie Brinkley is and they want something they cannot find. We will introduce millions of people to the Prosecco market including myself and I hope that people keep buying and love the taste.
Bevmo will be huge I keep doing a brand search everyday in the available products on their website and also other distributors they say which will carry the product. "Nothing yet" Millions and millions of revenue will be shown if we can keep up with supply and logistics or this will lose steam. Hopefully we have enough bottles, cardboard, liquid etc to fill immediate demand. If we cannot keep up with demand at least we have a celebrity endorsement that can get us free advertising worth millions of dollars in marketing funds at no cost when our inventory pipeline is loaded.
Keep buying on these dip GIFTS and hold long.
Rich, wrote me back last week which I posted 53173. I know store managers in the LCBO and I am trying to get confirmation on shipments landing in the province. Once in the province they can tell me exactly how many cases in real time.
Canada sales? A presentation was made to the LCBO (liquor control board of Ontario) in December. 651 total stores. They can pick and chose listings so it's not a shoe in at every location but the greater Toronto and Ottawa stores would drive huge sales. I am trying to get confirmation of product(s) into their system. Once confirmation is made we can check total inventory on hand by location at LCBO.com. Not in the system yet through website but maybe in their backend getting ready.
I know the system well spent 10 years in the industry. Here is my example of a brand in the system.

I sent an email to sales@bellissimmoprosecco.com about Canadian distribution rights and I get a personal reply from Rich cc'd to sale@...
Yes he has lots to do with the company. Working his ass off to get this into Canada and across the United States. He cannot react to all this attention and false accusations every hour. Trying to make sales and grow revenues not put out fires from ihub is his job.
Canadian expansion. So I sent an email to "interested in selling or distributing" through the Bellissimoprosecco.com website inquiring about Canadian distribution rights and I get a personal message from Richard cc'ing sales@bellissimaprosecco.com. They presented to the LCBO in Dec and rights are not up for contract. Those not familiar with the LCBO google Liquor Control Board of Ontario revenue. 2014-2015 revenue only $5.214 BILLION. If this is such a scam why would I get a personal email from Richard and he know all about the LCBO monster in Canada.
All you doubters give your head a shake. Real product, real revenues coming soon.
Everyone post this to their Facebook page and let's get this to the level it should be and ignore all the haters. I wish I found this gem earlier.
The sparkling Christie Brinkley
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/the-sparkling-christie-brinkley
If we have the third consecutive quarter of positive earnings I don't see an issue getting over the $4 mark. Hopefully this gets onto the Toronto Stock Exchange soon as well.
Next quarter earnings release is Jan 16, 2017. That's what the TD web broker has posted.
They purchased 200 acres across the street with a new address. They will have to apply for a new license. (read the details). The current expansion is one address and will be expanded to 1 million square feet of growing space. And that is included in the 52 acres of current space. Wow bring on the January quarterly earnings statement. Time to get us onto the big board. Toronto Stock Exchange. Let's chase CGC.
This stock is ready to take off. Hoping for three straight quarters of profit (Only Canadian cannabis stock to record two straight) when quarter is release in mid Jan. On page 68 of the framework study they estimate the illegal Canadian cannabis sales to be $7 billion per year. We are at the bottom of this roller coaster.
