Winning Brands Corp WNBD:OTC
All Systems Go for Winning Brands DRTV Launch
PR Newswire
9:06 AM ET
Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets: WNBD; Frankfurt: WMU) www.WinningBrands.com, manufacturer of popular new Winning Colours Stain Remover, confirms today that it is ready for implementation of Winning Brands' first-ever Direct Response Television Advertising. The company's intention to expand to DRTV marketing was first announced in December 2009 with the intention to be on-air 2nd Qtr 2010. Preparations have been completed on-time and on-budget.
The DRTV launch is the most significant marketing move yet by Winning Brands to enter the U.S. consumer packaged goods sector and to gain national retail distribution for its breakthrough cleaning solution. National cable TV networks have been identified for the first test airings, scheduled to begin next week. This will be the first time that Winning Colours Stain Remover TV advertising will be seen by consumers across America. Winning Colours Stain Remover is being described as the world's most versatile cleaning solution because of its unique performance characteristics across an extraordinary range of uses while retaining unheard of kindness to skin for products in this category. A growing consumer fan base is already posting video examples of Winning Colours in action through social media site YouTube: www.youtube.com/results?search_query=winning+colours+stain+remover&aq=0. Winning Colours Stain Remover is known as 1000+ in non-English foreign markets, where distribution arrangements are also picking up pace.
The Winning Colours DRTV product offering will be priced at $19.95, consisting of a custom kit that includes both large and small bottle SKU's of Winning Colours Stain Remover concentrate, as well as a new custom reusable Convenience Sprayer with which to stretch the value of the offering 20-fold for general purpose cleaning through dilution with water. Also included are 10 new "Pocket Paks" - an innovative SKU designed specifically for the DRTV launch. Winning Colours Pocket Paks are miniaturized dispensing pouches that slip into purses, pockets and other tight spaces for single-use applications when stain mishaps occur in inconvenient places, such as the restaurant table and while travelling, where bottles are not suitable.
Winning Colours DRTV consumer purchases will be taken via live-operators 24-hrs per day to service the round-the-clock television ad place ments. Orders will also be taken on-line at a new micro-site developed specifically to support the DRTV. Various iterations of the commercial will eventually be spun off the initial 2 minute short-form infomercial, to include 60 second support pieces and versions with retailer logos that create a tie-in between the brand and store versions of the SKU's in due course. It is anticipated that the Winning Colours DRTV campaign will pass through a series of tests in order to optimize results by making adjustments where required. Winning Brands is making a long term commitment to DRTV and high quality customer service in order to harness the power of this medium as a spring board to large scale national distribution and to support those listings when activated.
Winning Brands' best-in-clas s commitment for DRTV operations includes its selection (and acceptance by) leading experts during all phases of the DRTV project, including Hawthorne Direct for TV commercial production and media buying www.hawthornedirect.com, Convergys Customer Relationship Management for primary call center operations www.convergys.com and Datapak Services Inc for fulfillment logistics www.datapakservices.com, amongst others. All three of these organizations are associated with successful DRTV campaigns and all count America's finest corporations amongst their clients.
Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner, comments upon the significance to the company of this development: "A successful DRTV roll-out can increase the value of our company by several times. DRTV successes are documented to have sales poten tial in the tens of millions of dollars per year. This, combined with ensuing retailer listings and proper cost controls, will enable us to become highly profitable so that we can eventually buy back Winning Brands common shares. In our business plan, consumers benefit and shareholders win through a consumable world class product that is useful to virtually every household. As product manufacturers, we also have more flexibility to adjust the DRTV elements than ordinary DRTV products. This amounts to better than average prospects for success. Winning Brands' style has always been to keep at it, until we get it right. We'll get there."

nice jump to .0106..... are people starting to pay attention to the potential here. not too hard to connect the dots and come up with a lot of GREEN.
Idea for a show request submitted to Oprah.com. Come on people, it took me all of 2 minutes to do it. Let's get the word out there!
I need a consensus re: Oprah - should people click the "email Oprah" link or the "ideas for a show" link? which would you think has a better chance of getting noticed?
I agree completely. It's the first thing that came to mind when i read the title.
I was just about to ask if anyone had sent it to him. Good job!
Back in the Top 15 Active Stock Market Forums....
Very ready! Only wish i had the funds to add to my position before what is shaping up to be an awesome SP jump.
You're not thinking demographically.... most of those channels are on at any given time during a day when you're a stay at home mom or a homemaker. (I speak from experience here.)
You could be cleaning house, doing laundry, taking a nap or whatever and still hear a new commercial for a STAIN REMOVER running in the background.
I don't know about you - but, as a mom, you cannot have too much stain remover in the house - especially if your kids are still young enough for things like diapers and jars of baby food and daily spills and stains.
I think the choice of channels is both cost effective and hitting a huge target audience - who does most of the shopping for a household - MOM DOES. Show her a product to make her life easier and, if it's readily available (come on NA), she'll remember to pick some up next time she's out shopping.
All IMHO
TD shows 3.4M
I don't understand why, if you think the potential for this stock is so bad, you still insist on posting here. What do you get out of it? I'm guessing it's not due to any altruistic motives.
All of the great DD done by some pretty amazing people who have been hanging in here for years waiting for our time to shine, will just start coming to fruition this summer. Neither you, nor anyone else knows where this could go, there is absolutely no way to predict with any certainty.
I've been here since March of 2007 and I plan to hold until
1. the DRTV spot has hit and starts to be seen (no, not going to be instant)
2. they update store count
3. they release the NA
4. Steve Fantus has a chance to show what he can do
5. i can buy winning colors in my local Lowes/Target/Wal-Mart.
There are a ton of other things that are on the verge of happening as well, but these were what i could remember before coffee kicks in at this hour.
Have a great day everyone.
Who in their right mind would dump 500k shares with everything we're expecting? Unbelievable.
I'm no expert by any means, but if the updated store count, DRTV launch, NA announcement and every other thing happening before too long doesn't bump us to at LEAST .05, I'd be very surprised.
This is the first I've seen it. I haven't quite figured out what it is (an official PR or just an FYI) or why they sent it out, but i got it today, at 3:08pm.
I'm actually not sure. It came from Paul Knopick at E&E Communications directly to my email just like a press release would.
GO Eric! For all of you who wanted a PR - I think this one was a much better choice than the Quarterly numbers....IMO:
And Now A Word From Eric Lehner, CEO Winning Brands
WE believe in a safe and healthy environment. It is the goal of Winning Brands Corporation to give you positive new choices in cleaning products that are effective and eco-responsible. It is not our purpose to criticize other cleaning products already in use, some of which are satisfactory. The question is whether we can go beyond satisfactory to a higher standard of performance, eco-responsibility and value. We hope to earn the right of becoming a new favourite in your home or business for the categories in which we specialize by pleasantly surprising consumers with the features and benefits that are now available in advanced environmentally sensitive cleaning solutions.
This part is great...:
Lehner believes in people, worthy causes, humanitarianism, and, of course, Winning Colours Stain remover...but then that goes without saying.
However, I had to track him down. And I firmly believe that his unselfish willingness to take what he has, which he believes is useful and give it to someone who actually needs it, will be thank you enough for him.
And if it saves a thousand ducks or ten ducks or one duck, and helps with the clean-up, Winning Brands will have WON another fight...and so too, will everyone else involved in this environmental calamity.
Here's to success in the Gulf Region. Good work Winning Brands!

Winning Brands: Assisting in Oil Spill Re-print from accredited news agency
(Re-print from an accredited news agency.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Canada's Winning Brands Sends Care Package Of Products For Gulf Oil Clean-up
Barrie-Based Company Steps Up To Plate To Assist Volunteer Workers
By Cambridge Now News
Crude Reality Attracts Barrie Company
Canadians take the initiative to get involved when it comes to International causes. Earthquakes, hurricanes, and now oil spills.
This past week, following news reports coming out of the Gulf of Mexico where the BP Oil spill has become one of the worst environmental disasters in recent years; Barrie, Ontario, Winning Brands Corporation expedited a shipment of its Winning Colors Stain removing agent to volunteer groups on the ground in Mississippi.
British Petroleum's problem is presently unstoppable and cannot be capped off. The explosion has revealed possible systemic issues within BP's corporate culture with regard to risk management.
As the gushing, spewing well continues to unleash crude from its bowels some 5000 feet below the surface, communities along the gulf coast of the United States brace themselves for what could have a "Katrina" effect but with a very different loss factor.
Winning Colours has built a successful business developing Eco-friendly products which they currently market in Canada, the USA, Australia and South Africa, so sending off a shipment to help-out seemed like a natural solution to an un-natural disaster.
"Canadians like to help out their American neighbours whenever we can," suggests Winning Brands, CEO, Eric Lehner.
"When our team heard about the catastrophic runaway oil well, we knew that our expertise could come in handy somehow, in some productive way," said Lehner.
This revelation prompted them to research potential spill clean-up volunteer groups in the State of Mississippi. Their goal was to suggest ways their eco-friendly products could arrest the effects of the spill on possibly wildlife, the volunteer workers themselves, their apparel, and on anything they saw fit to use it on.
"Your friends in Canada would like to adopt you and this is our gift. And you can have as much as you need—even if it runs into the thousands. The response to the offer was touching," said Lehner.
This is not the first "wet cleaning" expedition for Winning Brands. They have recently made an agreement with Holland America Cruise Lines to switch out their solvent-based dry cleaning products onboard cruise ships for their Solvent Free Solutions non-toxic dry cleaning solutions otherwise known as "Wet cleaning". So they are strong supporters and promoters of anything ECO.
Committed To An Eco-Friendly World
"It makes sense that everything we do, everything we use and everything we wear, from now on, should be eco-friendly. As long as there is human ingenuity people will keep finding ways to use what we do to make better choices for themselves and their families. The spectrum is wide. Whether it's an oil spill, or a toddler's sippy-cup accident, our products will continue to be "strong as solvents...but gentle like soap". (Who could ask for anything more?)
Clean With A Clear Conscience
Lehner believes in people, worthy causes, humanitarianism, and, of course, Winning Colours Stain remover...but then that goes without saying.
However, I had to track him down. And I firmly believe that his unselfish willingness to take what he has, which he believes is useful and give it to someone who actually needs it, will be thank you enough for him.
And if it saves a thousand ducks or ten ducks or one duck, and helps with the clean-up, Winning Brands will have WON another fight...and so too, will everyone else involved in this environmental calamity.
Here's to success in the Gulf Region. Good work Winning Brands!
Oil Slick Near Mississippi Delta
An April 20 explosion at the rig led to a leak of crude oil at the sea floor, roughly 5,000 feet (1,500 meters) below the ocean surface, where intense pressure impedes most mitigation efforts.
The deadly blowout of an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico was triggered by a bubble of methane gas that escaped from the well and shot up the drill column, expanding quickly as it burst through several seals and barriers before exploding, according to interviews with rig workers conducted during BP's internal investigation.
An oil slick that has resulted from the accident at the Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico lingered near the Mississippi River Delta on May 1, 2010. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA's Terra satellite captured this natural-color image the same day. The oil slick appears as a tangle of dull gray on the ocean surface, made visible to the satellite sensor by sunglint—the mirror-like reflection of the Sun off the water. Most of the oil slick occurs southeast of the Mississippi Delta.

A very green close would really brighten my day at this point. That, and Happy Hour tonight! :)
Have a great weekend everyone. Hoping we wake up to some great news on Monday.
I agree. I say go for it. I can't see how any kind of positive exposure would be undesireable at this point.
See - almost makes my personal dream of getting bought out by P&G or J&J at $5 or more/share seem possible. :)
Good Morning Scup, Is anyone posting Eric's memos on other boards and websites? Maybe on an Amazon review for Winning Colors??
I have had him on ignore for weeks but i can still see his annoying messages....now i just skip over them. not worth the aggravation.
Awesome idea. Helps the cleanup effort no matter what else it does - Excellent Rocket!
Thanks Tib - you rock!
Moderators - has anyone asked Eric if the Oil Cleanup effort can somehow be incoroprated into the DRTV ad??
It wouldn't take much - an image from the area with a paragraph or statement of what they donated & how it's helping maybe tacked on to the end or added to the infomercial somewhere??
Finally! Some peace and quiet from this one. sheesh. enough already. If you don't own the stock & have nothing productive to contribute, Shut the Hell Up!
WNBD has the potential to be a one in a million company. They may be doing things slowly, but they ARE definitely dotting the i's and crossing the t's on the way.
Feels like a giant sling shot being pulled further and further back - one of these days Eric is going to do something that sets things off and then watch out.
True, but you can feel the anticipation building...
I'm hoping for a series of PR's throughout May leading up to the DRTV launch.
Speaking for myself with less than a million shares (wishing i had the cash to accumulate more)....
I am holding all shares until my pie in the sky dream comes to fruition: (skeptics need not read further - it's my dream, get your own :) )
I'm waiting until the DRTV gets us a ton of eyes and interest and a company like Proctor & Gamble offers $5 or $10/share or higher to buy Winning Brands....
Hey - look what happened to that little coffee company (Diedrich) when Green Mountain bought them - they were worth .35/share in May of 2009 and hit $35/share by December of 2009...
I have faith - GO WNBD.
I wonder if they could put WCSR in one of those huge street cleaner type water trucks with different level/height hoses and just have them drive up and down the alleys.
You could have one truck with hoses spraying just straight WCSR and the next one right behind it spraying water from high pressure hoses.
Anyone know if that's even doable? It would all wash away and since it's eco-friendly it's all good.
Oprah lives in Chicago....
Wouldn't THAT be a nice pair of eyes on us...
I wish i had more money to pick up some more shares.
I truly believe the next 8 months have the potential to be life changing.
Good luck to all of us - hello to all of the longs out there! :)
Just watched Lorne on The Wine Ladie's webcast.
He did a great job - very quick & effective. Showed how to use Winning Colors to remove both black spray paint and red wine stain from a white carpet sample.
Nicely done!
If he said it in a different way, it would lend more credibility to his posts. maybe less CAPS or less repetition...
Happy Belated Easter by the way. Hope you had a great one.
I'm hoping that by Christmas, WNBD will have made some great strides.
Honestly, with everything coming down the pipe, i can see some serious gains happening by then. :)
Wouldn't it make sense to have at least one NA ready to go when the DRTV commercials start? A "Now available online or at your local...." kind of thing.
Makes the potential for an NA announcement sometime in the next couple of months seem very likely.
All IMO... but i like what i see.
4860 showing on the store locator. 140 to go until we hit 5,000.
