Blog: Shareholder Question: Q1 Sales
Launch Activity
by Eric Lehner
QUESTION
Good Morning Eric: Just wondering if we are still progressing a nice pace with sales in the first quarter. I was wondering if you could give a blog on the predicted sales for the first quarter if you have any indication of that situation.
ANSWER
Sales in Q1 are higher than the comparable period in 2011 by a healthy percentage, but not in fantasy territory. Sensible improvement. Excellent containment of expenses as well.
As for the development of increasing demand for the balance of the year, we are connecting with more stores in our core sector. The magazine advertisement below represents the first time that we will appear in the North American Hardware Retailers Association publication, “Hardware Retailer”. This publication has unsurpassed reach to our target market, with a circulation over 36,000. Ace, True Value, Orgill, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Menards, Do it Best members and management all receive it. With a regular presence in this publication and other means to become better known in our core market, 2012 will continue to see deeper penetration into our primary sector.
While it is true in a general sense that consumer advertising/marketing is required to achieve household name stature, obtaining widespread store availability is the foundation for such marketing. There are plenty of successful brands in the hardware sector that you don’t see advertised on television. As far as I am concerned, 1000+ Stain Remover should be/deserves to become available in the majority of these stores in due course. We can become a significant brand with good earnings well before that point is reached.
Why imagine??
just watch...
Yes it was - I need to restock my WC/1000+ again soon from HD online!
Interview Recap
6 months since last interview...
Blog information....steady updates..year worth of narrative..good way to follow company..mentioned corporate website
1000+ name change..easier to say, write, see..better communicates product
USA Government contract with GSA...Nexcom, Manhattan Duane Reade, Sams clubs tests, Do it Best
About product - www.1000plus.ca dedicated site to focus on product information/issues/marketing
Purchase product...HomeDepot online offerring, first step to listing on shelf..no guarantee to listing though...
2012 Plans..sales holding steady and trending upward.. Barely scratched surface of market.. small % of US consumers even know about 1000+..lots of potential.. EOY at or above $600k in sales..2012 should see steepening in sales
Close interview, mentioned websites..
I would like to know how much was shipped in first order - and if it will be delivered in time to count for 4th qtr
Took longer than all of us wanted, but it came to fruition...2012 will be interesting that is for sure. I am loaded and ready!
So my daughter thought it would be funny to take a pen and write all over our couch with it!! I got my 1000+ out and used with a watered down paper cloth and it removed all of the ink! I'll work to get pictures up and will be sending to Eric. WC/1000+ is just great!
and it begins!!
I got a couple more today
All these efforts will start paying off soon...
I added 1 mil last week, have powder coming soon looking for 3 more
Got the company mailer today. Nothing new that hasn't been posted on ihub but a nice letter none the less!
haha whoops....foot in mouth!? Love it!
Looks blank to me!? Must have missed it
I understand it as 190k for the entire bid which is 20 shipments over one year.
With that many customers some would just complain that WNBD couldn't keep up with orders! Have to whine about something. Lol. What kind of sales numbers would 70 millions customers generate? Let's find out in 5 years.
Dreams going to turn into reality soon
If they bid on one of those a month and only win 33% over a year, revenues would double from current rates!
190k * (12 * 33%) = 760k over a year. These types of orders are like a mini NA in themselves! Good things coming to WNBD
Wow 190k order potentially - how many opportunities like this will we see over a year if we see this type only one month into a contract?
Strange isn't it?
I think we may get an update included with the posting of the quarterly financials - as of that day so should be within the next week.
The largest NA you could ever think of is about to start!
Promotion in NYC? Looking forward to seeing that HD scenario with 39 transactions at several DR sites!
Wow! 39 transactions? Cant wait for this to happen in Home Depot US!
What are the top 3 reasons to vote yes?
Happy birthday!! Hope next year is even better!
Financials are due on the 15th right?
Still holding my shares here, actually added on the dip... waiting to see what happens here. Hope your wife recovers fully from cancer!
was that the last of his shares today?
I just contacted Fidelity... the rep had never heard of the term NOBO! They said shares are held in street name and that company communication is sent to them, then forwarded to shareholders.
I can buy with no problem with Fidelity, others have said E-Trade allows buys. GL
hahah ...its bound to change until it looks right!
lol busted! haha
I like the 'kept your attention' part - seems many here are still interested.
Nice analysis! WNBD is so close to these large orders...its going to be fun very soon here.
who wants to get rich with this company? Time to place your bets.
Another good update. Working on Sunday again!
So many revenue streams! This seems like a perfect fit!
Are you all out at this point?
Dont think that is even close...its most likely Penson related due to the partial chill
I do too.. A surprise like 200k+ would be really nice though!
Lol that's going to be some party!
