I just received the four cases of water I ordered last Saturday via Amazon FBM. The delivery emailed said I'd get the cases between 4/16 and 4/23 and I received them today 4/16.

Agreed. The sales numbers should be greatly improved this quarter.

I can vouch for Tyhub as he has been on this board for the same amount of time I have (about 10 years) and has seen the ups and downs of the previous iteration of INKW back when it was LKEN and the InkWay USA program was in full effect. We've both seen things that we wish could have been done differently. It is on the company to prove themselves at this point. Getting product to customers is a great first start but more is needed to get this to where it needs to be.
Tyhub calls a spade a spade and if there are good things happening he'll mention those but if there are improvements that need to be made, he'll mention those too. As noted earlier, constructive criticism can be helpful and Tyhub offers that.
It is my hope that one day when the stock is above $1.00, all of us can sit back and smile. :)
-Jazz
Hi Makemone1. The point I was making is that positive or negative, all feedback can be helpful in getting the stock back up and that according to TOS everyone has a right to post. As long as people are respectful of each other that is what is most important.
As far as removals, I cannot speak on that as I was not involved. Unless one is purposefully and directly disrespectful and making a personal attack I do not believe in post removals even if the topic/wording is not something I want to see as a supportive shareholder of INKW myself.
Once the share price increases the supporters will increase. Meanwhile while it may not seem right we have to allow everyone a voice.
-Jazz
Thanks Ty. I look at it like this. We all want the same thing and that's company success, increase in PPS and the ability to send information to the company if we feel something could be improved while knowing that the company may or may not enact our idea.
If everyone respects each other's views and uses that energy in a way that can be beneficial to everyone then we all win.
-Jazz
I posted the below just now on StockTwits but I believe it pertains to our INKW iHub page as well. I've posted similar messages here where if we work together some mighty things can occur. There are over 14,000 INKW followers on the StockTwits page.
-Jazz
------------------------------------------------------
I know everyone has differing opinions on what will happen with the success of this company. Some are strong supporters and some have doubts. Each of us have various opinions and ideas. For all sure to forward any ideas you have to the company at IR@greeneconcepts.com as that helps everyone. Those who have been critical of the company should still be respected by those who support the company. 1. We are all here to make money. 2. Each person has a right to say what's on their mind. 3. Even people who do not support Greene Concepts often have nuggets of improvement that when enacted could ultimately help the company. Hopefully together we all can do our part to get ideas to the company and if possible (depending on our current roles and who we know), we could send leads to the company to help them get into more markets and onto more shelves. More than likely, the company will pay a commission to us if we do so.
If we have 14,000 pairs of eyes offering ideas to IR@greeeneconcepts.com and looking out for leads to help us get into more retail stores, more online stores, more organizations and more businesses, then we can be of more value than just posting here on StockTwits. We can be a direct help in moving forward our investment (together 14,000 strong) in helping the country learn more about Be Water which ultimately will grow the company and ultimately PPS.
-Jazz
Hi Ty. Thanks for keeping it real. We all have to respect the facts regarding challenges and mishaps along with the positive things that are also done and you have been doing that. Hopefully the financials show some positive sales have occurred.
It will be up to the company to keep things moving forward and to increase the level of relevancy. Getting sales on Amazon is a great start and hopefully there will be additional catalysts to push this up further.

Greene Concepts Adds Three More Amazon FBA Distribution Centers Resulting in Nine Locations That House and Dispense BE WATER to Amazon's 300 Million Customers
https://www.newsfilecorp.com/release/80564/Greene-Concepts-Adds-Three-More-Amazon-FBA-Distribution-Centers-Resulting-in-Nine-Locations-That-House-and-Dispense-BE-WATER-to-Amazons-300-Million-Customers?k=inkw
Marion, North Carolina--(Newsfile Corp. - April 15, 2021) - Greene Concepts Inc. (OTC Pink: INKW) is pleased to announce a growth in the total number of Amazon Distribution Centers carrying its first-class brand of artesian bottled water, BE WATERTM. Using Fulfillment by Amazon (FBA), the company's allocation of FBA centers has expanded from six to nine representing an increase of 33%. FBA offers faster delivery service to customers via Amazon Prime through Amazon's multibillion-dollar distribution and sales network.
Within its January 25, 2021 press release, Greene Concepts publicized the launch of its Amazon listing and the presence of BE WATER in three Amazon fulfillment centers located in New Jersey, Tennessee and Washington. In its February 16, 2021 press release, the company noted the addition of three more centers to bring the total to six with the three new add-ons from the states of Illinois, California and Virginia. Since February, the number of Amazon distribution centers rose to nine with an expansion to three more FBA centers within the states of Michigan, Maryland and Georgia.
The addresses of the nine Amazon FBA distribution centers distributing BE WATER are:
6001 Bethlehem Blvd Baltimore, MD 21219
7001 Skipper Rd Macon, GA 31216
50500 Mound Rd Shelby Township, MI 48317
23714 Amoco Rd Channahon, IL 60410
225 Infinity Dr NW, Charleston TN 37310D
22 Hightstown Cranbury State Rd Cranbury, NJ 08512
2700 Center Dr DuPont, WA 98327D
500 Commerce Way Petersburg, VA 23803
255 Park Center Dr Patterson, CA 95363
Lenny Greene, CEO of Greene Concepts, states, "Amazon continues to see the value in the sale of BE WATER and has rewarded us by opening up three more Amazon FBA distribution centers. Amazon has a total of 110 active fulfillment centers in the U.S. and we are in nine of them. We fully expect more centers to open as the Amazon algorithm allows us to deliver BE WATER via FBA to our customers in the shortest amount of time based on significant sales volume. Soon we will be in all 110 Amazon fulfillment centers allowing us to cover Amazon Prime members in most markets throughout the country."
Mr. Greene continues, "A special thanks goes to our VP of Marketing and Regulatory, Amy McNally and Sean Farrington, the owner and CEO of EComOptimization, as we maximize Amazon at all levels to increase search engine optimization and product availability by FBA and Fulfillment by Amazon (FBM). An upcoming feature we will deploy within Amazon very soon is targeted advertisements to intensify BE WATER awareness to new customers thereby boosting sales. The above actions coupled with the accessibility of BE WATER on our company's BeWaterBeYou page, mean everyone who wants to purchase our product throughout the country has a way to obtain it. These deeds enhance both company and shareholder value."
Consumers may purchase BE WATER on Amazon at the following link: BE WATER Amazon Page.

Greene Concepts (OTC US: INKW) and the Hydration Opportunity (OTC US: NSRGY) (OTC US: DANOY) (NASDAQ: WTER) (NYSE: PRMW) (NASDAQ: PEP)
https://www.marketwatch.com/press-release/greene-concepts-otc-us-inkw-and-the-hydration-opportunity-otc-us-nsrgy-otc-us-danoy-nasdaq-wter-nyse-prmw-nasdaq-pep-2021-04-15
Apr 15, 2021 (OTC PR WIRE via COMTEX) -- You probably take it completely for granted - bottled water. But it's Big Business.
The global bottled water market size is expected to reach USD 505.19 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. It is expected to expand at a CAGR of 11.1% from 2021 to 2028.
And leading brands like Nestle ADR (OTCMKTS:NSRGY), Danone ADR (OTCMKTS:DANOY), and PepsiCo, Inc. (NASDAQ:PEP) are constantly scrambling to stay ahead of upstarts like Primo Water Corp (NYSE:PRMW) and Alkaline Water Company Inc (NASDAQ:WTER) as they strive for traction with an efficient production process and a lucky break on the distribution side of the equation.
With a well-marketed branding campaign, that's all it might take to supplant billions in market positioning.
With that in mind, there's one name that is just starting to emerge that should be on the radar in this space given its recent mounting catalysts and massive jump in distribution footprint, as well as its potential for expansion into higher margin markets: Greene Concepts (OTCMKTS:INKW), producers of the rapidly growing "Be Water" branded line of bottled water products.
The Artesian Advantage
Greene Concepts (OTCMKTS:INKW) has an inherent advantage as it gets rolling in this space: it hit a goldmine with the placement of its primary bottling facility.
In the heart of the Appalachian Mountains, the company can harvest a massive volume of all-natural artesian spring water, rich with minerals and electrolytes and a perfect 7.0 pH level to help the body maintain healthy regulation. Be Water also contains natural Calcium, Magnesium, and Iron, which contribute to overall health and vitality.
The plant was launching in March 2020 following 16 months of plant restoration (up to 192 million bottle capacity 8 million cases with current equipment) with room for additional capacity.
INKW then went on to purchase tracts of land surrounding the bottling plant to include seven production wells for unlimited water resource production capacity to include bottling and industrial water provision.
The Amazon Advantage
The other big edge that has emerged recently and helped to spark strong upside in Greene Concepts (OTCMKTS:INKW) shares is the company's recent deal with Amazon to widen the Be Water distribution footprint to as many as 300 million new potential customers.
This started when the company secured placement approval on Amazon.com for Be Water and two new labels for placement in the rising $53 Billion Chinese market. It then went on to get negotiations underway to sell Be Water in India.
That was followed by the company's finalization of an agreement with the U.S. government as a government vendor through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and System for Award Management (SAM). Additionally, we received approval as a vendor through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to provide products during national emergencies.
As these distribution expansions continue, the brand value is shooting higher. If you comb through the company's recent communications, you will also note that Be Water quick sold out once it hit the Amazon marketplace.
This is further confirmation that the brand is gaining strong traction with the company's target market.
Most recently, this positive traction through accessibility was pushed further when the company announced a third way for the public to procure its line of BE WATERTM branded bottled water through the Amazon Fulfillment by Merchant (FBM) program. This new availability stream began April 9 and offers an additional way for consumers to buy the company's 24-bottle cases of premium BE WATER artesian water from its Marion, North Carolina bottling plant.
Amy McNally, Greene Concepts' VP of Marketing and Regulatory Affairs, notes, "It is with great joy that I announce another avenue for consumers to buy our great-tasting BE WATER bottled water brand. We found over the last two months that when used alone, Amazon FBA was not moving our product fast enough (see February 22, 2021 press release). We needed to establish additional ways to increase product distribution to our customers. After much testing and observation, we are satisfied that the April 1 launch of our BeWaterBeYou Shop Be Water page and the April 9 commencement of Amazon's FBM program (see March 30, 2021 press release) meets this crucial availability need for our customers across the country."
Expansion Potential
The final major point suggesting an edge for Greene Concepts (OTCMKTS:INKW) is its path to expansion into higher margin products, including CBD-infused beverages.
Last year, the company secured an agreement with SoluScience to create the new Happy Mellow beverage enhancer which it says will soon be selling on Amazon.
It also partnered with New World Health and Wellness to proliferate company sales in the CBD industry and offer healthier solutions to the public which will soon be selling on Amazon as well.
Furthermore, in a recent Q&A session, management from INKW noted that: "Because we are flexible and adaptable, we can create just about any beverage. On our drawing board is a 24 X 7 beverage line to support you at any time of the day. This offers different and separate beverage lines for sleep, focus, workout, workout recovery, hydrate, cleanse and adaptation. We are close to releasing our Be Hemp product line on Amazon with our partner New World Health and Wellness which offers six different hemp products containing 1,000 Mg of hemp, more than double that of most like products for improved effect and healing. Thanks to our current alliances to include: Lucky Soul (SOULTOX), America's Finest CBD, New World Health and Wellness, Upstart Kombucha and SoluScience, we are greatly penetrating multiple markets while helping the world."

Anytime Ty. You and I have definitely seen a lot here in the past 10 years or so as investors here. I've said this from way back when, it's all about transparency and information.
I appreciate you man. I believe all views should be respected and preserved.
-Jazz
Hey Ty. I hope you're well this morning. To your question, he is a substantial but not the majority owner of INKW stock according to the company's financial reports. Shilly Bullwolf called him about another item and through that call was able to schedule an interview with Lenny.
-Jazz
On the Greene Concepts Facebook page it shows that only one position is left to be hired. That means 6/7 of the bottling plant's open positions have been filled.
-Jazz
The company's main webpage: https://greeneconcepts.com/ now contains a banner at the top that directly takes you to the Be Water direct purchase page.
The banner says "PURCHASE BE WATER". This is good because now the Be Water page connects to the company's main webpage (under the Resources area) and the main webpage connects back to the Be Water page (https://www.bewaterbeyou.com/shop-be-water).
-Jazz

Nice post and great response for the water.
-Jazz
Agreed that all OTC companies need to be transparent as that helps everyone. I'm thankful that INKW has stayed current with financials. Their Year-end is July 31 which means it will be October or so before we see their full annual report. INKW reported sales should be much higher which is good.
-Jazz
It took about 6 days for me to receive my water (ordered on 4/2 and received it in 4/8). It was faster than I thought it would be. Delivered via UPS to my front door.
-Jazz
Nice to see the uptick here for sure!
-Jazz
Hoping for great things here!
-Jazz
It was nice to receive my case of Be Water a couple of days ago. I've shared it with family members. Great product and durability of the plastic too.
-Jazz
Thanks for checking in Pennies. I hope all is going well on your end too! Here's to many more sales of Be Water!

Weed, it wasn't me.
-Jazz
The BeWaterBeYou page now lists Marion, NC instead of Clovis, CA as the contact location. http://stocktwits.com/jazz_1/message/311455305
-Jazz
Many of us have waited since 2018 for this positive moment where Be Water can be purchased directly through the company's own webpage: https://www.bewaterbeyou.com/.
It's a beautiful site to behold.
-Jazz
This is a major step forward for the company to be able to sell directly through the page. https://www.bewaterbeyou.com/
Hopefully this is just a flicker and the real fire will take us well over .15 again!
-Jazz
Great to see the news today. It will be a wonderful day when all 100+ Amazon Fulfillment Centers offer Be Water in them through FBA and at the same time FBM is occurring. That will spread increased sales and awareness throughout the country.
-Jazz
Hoping for huge upside here.
Hi Stephenis,
The following PRs should help you (these are also located in the intro section of this iHub page). Start from the bottom and work your way up. The company did not begin selling its' water on Amazon until late-January (1/29) where it sold out in two hours. In December, 2020 BE WATER (the company's main brand) had not yet begun to sell on Amazon.
The 2/22 PR explains why the product has been difficult to find on Amazon (Amazon limits sales for new products and limits the amount of inventory of products that take up a high amount of shelf space (which water does)).
Also, right after the last Amazon release on 2/22, the company began donating water to Texas to help those residents that experienced difficulty based on the winter weather.

Good to hear from you Ty. Have a good one.

Thanks so much!

What's interesting is these questions were simply developed by everyone on the Telegram group coming up with some questions that the company Marketing VP, Amy answered as best as she could without disclosing material events.
Many of the FAQs from the PRs earlier this month were also from the Telegram and them developing key questions for the company.
We could easily do the same thing here on iHub and in fact have done multiple times in the past back in the Inkway USA days about 7 or 8 years ago. We came together, gathered key questions that were on shareholders minds and the company answered them.
Yes the questions presented and answered today were not released in an official PR however it allows us to have a voice to our investment and help obtain answers to some of the most important questions we have. That is the power of banding together.
If anyone here wants to do that let's come together and do so.
-Jazz
Hey Ty. Sorry I couldn't respond to your earlier message. I don't have PM capabilities here on iHub. I hope all is well on your end.
