More great news:
"Currently the products are slated to be placed on the store shelves mid-January 2010 and the product placement will be at the store registers."
"Last year, the LifeSavers Company developed a category-management strategy with Meridian Consulting Group of Westport, Connecticut. "This was the first study to demonstrate the importance of the front end as a sales area of the store. It showed retailers what customers want, and it also provided the measures retailers needed to make viable decisions about the front end," says Michael P. Shinall, managing director of Meridian Consulting Group.
The results showed that 1 percent of total store sales-an estimated $4.2 billion annual store volume-was generated by front-end sales. On a per-square-foot basis, the front end accounted for eight times the total of all weekly store sales. "
"A second study, commissioned by M&M/Mars, Inc., of Hackettstown, New Jersey, and Time Distribution Services (TDS) of New York City, and undertaken by Dechert-Hampe & Co. of Mission Viejo, California, confirms the results. This study analyzed retail audits of 500 stores and conducted more than 500 in-depth shopper interviews, and found that the front end represents a $5 billion opportunity."
"Overall, the Mars/TDS survey concludes that 46 percent of all shoppers make checkout-line purchases at least once a week."
Very true! Good point!

GNC possible new retailer
The only company I could find that was large enough based on their PR (6,000 stores nationwide) is GNC. There aren't any grocery store chains that have that many - I think the most is something close to 4000.
"GNC has over 6,000 stores in the US (including 1,100 store-within-a-store locations within Rite Aid) as well as locations in 49 other countries."
Based on what they sell, I'd say it makes perfect sense "General Nutrition Centers or GNC is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania-based American commercial enterprise focusing on the retail sale of health and nutrition related products, over the counter drugs, and foods/food supplements worldwide through GNC branded stores."
Not to mention I did a quick search of the Orlando area on Google and about 200-250 stores are in the area depending on the radius you do.
"Fresh Harvest Products, Inc. (OTCBB: FRHV) announced today that through its relationship with Jumpstart Marketing, Inc., we will be distributing and selling our line of Wings of Nature(TM) bars to the Orlando division, approximately 200 retail locations, of a national chain with over 6,000 retail locations."
"and we will have promotions regionally with a professional sports team" - Did some digging and found Jumpstart has relationships with several sports teams, including the New York Yankees, New York Mets, New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers and the Boston Red Sox."
These are some of the most popular sports teams in their division regardless of their record. It's great to know that we will be getting exposure to some of the most devoted fans around as well as the biggest names in the league! I don't want to get ahead of myself but they are targeting the Florida area and the Miami Heat would make the perfect promo...
"and the product placement will be at the store registers." seriously??? That's even better than at the end of the isle placement! Everyone grabs gum, snacks, and whatever else at the register just because it's convenient. Not only will it grab organic shoppers attention but also opens it up to a whole new market who would potentially never try it.
"We will be promoting the products within the stores through product tasting" - job well done! This management team knows exactly what they are doing and I'm sure we will continue to see these great moves in future PR's.
yeah I just PM'd him. Not sure if he'll do it though, I'm sure he gets dozens of requests a day but if you also would like him to do a chart, I suggest you PM him and ask as well. The more demand, the more likely he'd do it,

I'm no claytrader but I'm pretty sure .22 is now a pretty good support for us .(back in april, and 11/30 it was resistance - yesterday and today it's turned into solid support.)
don't worry about the retracement, it's very healthy for a small pullback to test support before another move upward imo.
Hey Princess,
Sure, I'm out here in California near San Francisco. And you are correct, any store can get any product very easily if any of the others are carrying them. It's actually quite simple - I just stopped by their customer service desk and asked them if they could get me a product. I was really hoping they would start stocking them but a case will do for now =) They have little white paper forms and take down what the brand/product name is.
The person helping me was nice enough to call me to their computer and let me see all the different choices I have (almond bar, etc) so yes I believe that indicates that they are in their internal database.
The Fiji part only has to do with one thing - making enough money so that I can just move there and continue trading from over those water cabanas permanently. =)
Good luck everyone, looks like this morning is a great time to average down if you got some at .33
Cheers

Yup, because they already are selling them at certain stores they are able to get it
I went by my local whole foods and stopped by customer service to order a case of their bars. I suggest everyone who is near a WH do the same. Especially during a "trial" phase of their bars, the more demand they see coming through their point of sale system, the better chance for regional or nationwide distribution. If you're one of the lucky ones that is near the WH that actually carries them, be a good shareholder a pick some products up when you can and let us know where they are on the shelf. You never know what a few hundred orders might mean in such an important time, GLTA
Fantastic Close! Very bullish! Hang on for tomorrow
FRHV 032x033 new highs if 04 resistance breaks this will have a power move
FRHV 032x033 new highs if 04 resistance breaks this will have a power move
FRHV.. popping off.. at HOD and steadily increasing
Great stock, Great DD by everyone, this thing looks ready to fly..
The meeting also refers to voting on a 1-40 reverse stock split and increasing dilution. not good at all...
5 Million in volume! Majority in the last 30 minutes? What's going on here, someone knows something. Lets hope history repeats itself today and we start a nice bounce up.
VTSS - Most volume all year yesterday
Strange... it may be ready for a bounce? All the buying occurred within last 30 minutes and over $1M was bought at the ask. Promo coming? News? Keep it on your radar
have you looked at anything they have said previously? it was "supposed to" gap to .002 back in october, lol
Last chance to get in cheap before the next leg up, this stock is way too valuable
What's a shame is that many of you don't realize that without volume this stock is not going anywhere. I'm utterly shocked that the 6th consecutive quarter did absolutely squat for the PPS and we actually saw a drop that day. Another PR after that, and we are still in the same trading range. I know most of you won't admit it but when Rainmaker was on this board, we saw 4-5 times as many posts per day and the amount of DD he put in was incredible. ( I won't credit him for the giant surge in PPS but I will say he has a ton of followers with good reason) It's sad to say it, but as much as I believe and love this company, if no one is around to care, it will continue to wither on a vine until the MOMO crowd takes hold of it, we uplist, or buyout/significant partnership occurs. GLTY All! Sorry for the downer message but it had to be said
I second that! EVRM has some incredible potential this week
EVRM is ready for take off!
Made the bottom busters over the weekend. Closed green three straight days in a row, overcoming major resistance at .025
Investor911, Shef, Sterling, and many other VERY intelligent investors like this stock. Don't get caught missing out on all the gains from this next run... 3....2...1...
EVRM closed at HOD to break through the first major resistance and get ready to watch it blastoff!
Incredible! Close at HOD, Closed above first major resistance outlined by clay trader's video, AND 2 green days in a row set the bottom!
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing

Great close! Up up and away!
Bid.. 022 Ask.. 024 how the hell is the price at .0215 then???
MM's trying to keep this thing under wraps today, I agree you should call your broker and lets get this next run north going
EVRM now at HOD.. 0249
EVRM starting the next run.. HOD right now
EVRM now at HOD
EVRM starting to run
EVRM starting the next run up
EVRM... breaking out in anticipation
Take this board with a grain of salt, go punch in 8/14 in the date range and just look at all the same nervous bashers that come through here. In the next ensuing 10 days, the price doubled. It's only a matter of days away before they wish they had held for this next run up...gnite all
I know it's old news but sometimes it's so refreshing to reread this and know that regardless of the MM games or people who bail at the first sign of red, that over the next coming months and into FY 10, we could see $15M+ in revenue and take this stock to a whole new level. I got it at 30 and of course I wish I could see the future but I know, as do all you, that we are standing to make a substantial amount of dough not that far from now. Good job to everyone who has got the $$$ to continue buying at these levels, I am jealous and not gonna sell a single share regardless of the dips!
NEW YORK, NY, August 6, 2009 -- Evermedia Biometrics Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Evermedia Group, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: EVRM), joined teaming partners this week to discuss recently submitted bids and future business opportunities for the balance of the current year and fiscal year 2010. Collectively, Evermedia Biometrics and its teaming partners have presented bids to perform over $15 million in services, and if awarded, could begin work as early as the fourth quarter of 2009. As bids are currently pending, details relating to any potential contracts will not be announced until agreements and task orders have been formalized. Evermedia’s management and its teaming partners have stated a high level of confidence in their pursuit of future awards.
'In addition to the already submitted bids, the company and partners are currently preparing proposals to bid on several projects funded by the American Reinvestment Act. “Several states and municipalities have already identified projects within their jurisdiction to invest in infrastructure, explore enhanced security protocols for ID and medical record management and deploy next generation IT solutions in sectors such as banking and transportation”, said Jonathan Sym, CEO of the Evermedia Group. “We have an outstanding group of hard chargers and have worked very diligently this year to identify winnable contracts and have forged several teaming agreements with top companies to expand our resources and capabilities. I look forward to updating our shareholders frequently with updates and progress as they unfold.”
Evermedia has also entered into discussions with several highly specialized companies to expand their investment portfolio in related technologies and non-core assets as a means to diversify its holdings. Technology integration, intellectual property, consumer non-durables and some specialized retail sectors are the primary areas of interest. “Several industries have been depressed since the last quarter of 2008 and many are still struggling to sustain meaningful valuations. However, we are seeing some attractive investment opportunities and with the recent rise in our own market capitalization, we are exploring growth through acquisition as another avenue to increase shareholder value,” Sym added.
