Had to go pick up the MIL from the airport yesterday and while in Pooler dropped in to Publix and all three flavors of Bellissima were still on shelf at $19.99. I asked if I could talk to.someone about how it's selling and they told me to go to customer service and someone would give me that information but we were running late to airport and didn't have time. Did notice that this time the Brut only had 2 bottles whereas last time fully stocked and Sugar free was fully stocked where it only had 2 bottles last time. Me thinks the product is selling, now only if the management will cut us a good deal so we get our cut.
On the BID that is!
6M on the ASK!!! Someone's after your shares! Not I said I!! Mine are locked up tight!
8 Bellissima Prosecco posts this Easter weekend !! And that's just Instagram!! C'mon Rich, cut us all a slice of the pie!
Remember, some will just say anything as they want to get the PPS as low as they can before the news and financials. Really hoping that Rich really is holding back news and will fill in a lot of the missing pieces with nice audited financials and more updates on the companies progress.
From the "Just to be noted department"....I gave my niece a bottle of Bellissima to drink as a gift several months ago and her Mom contacted me yesterday and told me THANKS for sharing that bottle of Bellissima with her daughter and her as it has now become their favorite drink and they and friends drink it frequently and love it! I told her thanks for letting me know about that and told her if there's any Publix in her area that she can now buy it there. She lives in NC so not sure if Publix goes that far north or not, but apparently she's found some place that sells it, maybe Total Wine..not sure, but sure was nice to hear some good news about one of our companies products.
Guess if I'd of read today's posts first I'd of seen he's already filed for extension. Oh well, Waited this long, what's a couple more weeks?
So, any guesses on when the financials will be out? Tomorrow? Monday? Or in two weeks? Was kinda hoping that they'd be out tomorrow (it is a trading day isn't it?) so if they're good we could have a nice Easter holiday. Not really expecting them until first of next week though.
Somewhere there is a book that says to try to get the share price as low as possible by whatever means saying whatever whenever....unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, I don't have or want a copy of that book.
OOOOppps!! And then there was that! I predict a splurge of PR's in the near future. A little birdie told me that Rich has been saving up news and will blast us nearly daily with it in the coming weeks. All to get this above a penny a share and remain there while we get uplisting in progress. We'll all see who has the last cheeseburger around here!
Mike has absolutely overdone it! He'd have to only have about 30 cents per pillow cost to do all the advertising that he does in Prime Time slots as well. I hoped that at Christmas he'd be finished with the blanket in your face advertising as now it's like scratching fingernails on a chalk board every time I see his advertisements. However, it would just be nice to see a Bellissima advertisement on TV once every week or so just for beginners but if it was to catch fire and start a craze, I still would be annoyed it it got over-advertised. At some point you'd think that the cost of advertising would be much more than the amount of profits that would be brought in, but I guess Mike is going to advertise until everyone in the USA has a set of 4 of his pillows. He'll be waiting a long time until he gets at least one household to order from him. lol
I have to admit...well said! My only thoughts is that there are hundreds of different kinds of wines to choose from whereas, I don't think there are similar amounts of pillow makers, but somehow, someway the product needs to be introduced to the public at large. You'd think that Christie with her daughters and son of drinking age would be the perfect people to play the parts in a TV ad. Almost every article that I read about her she's talking about her line of skin care creams and such, but rarely ever mentions Bellissima. Not sure why that would be although she does mention it on her Instagram pages.
I think that was addressed a day or two ago when it was mentioned that there are several Publix in a small relatively small population area and the product was removed or sold very low in order for give people a chance to experience it. Could be a great marketing strategy!
Wrong!! PPS is on its way up as people scramble to buy shares as the bottom was in a week or so ago. From here until financial are released better buy at the cheapest price you can get as cheapie season is almost over.
Just a few more shopping days until 10K should be out. Looks like the bottom has been in a few days now and the gradual rise on up to release of financials is in full gear. Sure was hoping for some .0030's but I'll re-evaluate this by first of the week and decide whether to go ahead and add as a million shares with a .0010 spread is a nice $1000 in the kitty. Certainly .0035 to .0045 is very doable just to whet my appetite!
Anyone else think that the same ones who are calling fire in the theatre are the same ones with 3M on the bid?
Ok...tossing out the rubber boots as the crap has gotten way above that level so hopefully my waist waders will still keep me dry while I wade around in this crap! C'mon Rich!! Drain the swamp!!
At this point, I would be thrilled to see a cent again although all my sells are set at higher levels. If it ever starts running, it will probably do like it did last year. I'd just love to see 100M share day again. Will it happen? Remains to be seen.
I completely understand...lol! Is why I'm waiting this time. But, if it starts to run should Cuz Rich go thru with a lot of his promises about the restructuring of the stock and have some new deals on the plate, this will take off so fast that it'll have everyone trying to get in before it hits one cent again.
Looks like the negativity is in full blast today. I guess one last ditch attempt to grab cheap shares while they can get them. I don't blame them, but I just buy mine without all the hoopla. Got me some dry powder loaded up but I'm going to wait until I buy this time but definitely hand on the trigger if the right news hits.
I've never even heard of Spring Hill, FLA and I live in S. GA. Maybe that's why they are discontinuing as there isn't (currently) a big enough market to buy the supply from all stores. Good to know though that if we can get some advertising going and this takes off that we'll have several more stores to put it in that area.
Yea, not such a big deal now that the whole story has surfaced. I'll keep holding as hopefully the big guy will throw a flurry of news to us and get this on up above .01 again soon.
I heard he was over in Europe, London amongst other places..
imgur is one site that I use to download photos to get a link that I can post something to this site. Kind of complicated to work to start, but I messed around with that site until I could post photos and even a group of photos with it.
Yup! That would certainly be something to see. I'd like to see those photos myself.
Next time we go, I'll have to ask you to go with us. We'll buy some Bellissima and let the passengers on the party boat try it out and see how they like it. $140 a person and it's the dock just past the bridge going out to Tybee Island. Might be a liquor store or two on the island that we could go in and convince them to start selling it. When it starts selling in all the mom and pop liquor stores, then we'll know we have a winner in a winer!
Do you have any evidence that he isn't in contact with a large advertising firm? Probably a lot will be shown this week. If not this week, then we're certainly getting in the short rows. I'm certainly glad I have my shares locked down as I think many good surprises are coming in the near future. Your mileage may vary of course.
That's what I'm talking about. I'm going to try to find her personal Instagram page and see if I can encourage her to get Rich to find some money for advertising. If they'd send me some signs, I'd post them in densely populated neighborhoods in the areas in the areas around the Pubix in our area. Kind of like those people who constantly post those signs for differing Internet providers that appear at every intersection in our county. Not all would try it, but it could make a difference. With hundreds of different varieties of wines out there, we need a way to get the word out on ours thus getting more and more revenues so we can put in BIGTIME advertising. I doubt this company will be net profitable for a while yet until we can pay for as much advertising as we can afford for the next few quarters. I almost wish I still drank so I could just try some and see what my personal opinion of it but haven't since 1992 so not going to try it now. Wi no I'm not!
Just got back from deep sea fishing off the coast of Georgia and on my way back home, I dropped by the friendly PUBLIX in POOLER, GA and they still have all three varieties and they're still at the same price they were when they first were there...$19.99. I looked and there were several of each flavor but the stock person had them pulled up to the front of the shelf but they looked to be selling as there were differing amounts of each kind. Noticed they had a new little sign I'd never noticed before that said they were 70% organic and still right at the eye level space on the first row of wines in the Publix. Made me feel good after reading your post. If I had walked in that Publix and seen $7.99 on each flavor, I might just sell my shares as well.
Long and strong BELLISSIMA!!
Was just checking Instagram and looking for new posts up by Bellissima Prosecco and a post I made a few days got liked by Bellissima Prosecca. This is what I wrote. "Advertising! We need advertising! Great it's shared here but need a massive ad campaign to get this in all wine drinkers homes!"
My crystal ball says this will be .02 again soon! Just ready for that one two punch that's going to send it sailing up!! But unlike last time when it just went up on hype of Christie Brinkley coming on board with the Bellissima brand, this time it will move up quickly to a sustainable level and then as more and more news becomes reality, it will do like another stock I know of and be up to a nickel by years end. That I do believe is where this stock is eventually headed.
Booom! That's hitting the nail on the head!
Christie is keeping Instagram burning hot with posts on Bellissima! That always is a good thing. Just 3 weeks until end of March. I'm hoping for a flurry of good news to show up along from there to mid May or so. Maybe that's the strategy Rich is going to take so that when we get a little boost in pps then he can come back the next day or even in the same day with more news to get this stock flying.
You have your theory. I have mine. We'll see who is correct soon enough. The water will have cleared I would think by mid May for sure to see where this is going. In the meantime, something great in news could hit just as likely as something bad could hit. It's all a crap shoot and if I lose it all or make tens of thousands of dollars or more, it won't make or break me. If I didn't believe, I'd of sold long ago.
Yes, stay away from a stock that is in 1300+ PUBLIX, beginning to be in several Targets, in Total Wine chains, and thousands of more locations nationwide. I'd NEVER invest in company that has a real product that's ON THE SHELF all across the country. A company that their PPS is probably on the very bottom right now and soon should be multiples of times higher. No, let me go invest in some fried chicken enterprise that's looking for a lease in Atlanta! ROFLMAO!
Well, that was a nice [color=green][/color] day for us longs!! Seems that something is in the works, I just wish that Rich would put our a PR and let us know what is going on. It's getting tough to be patient, but I'm watching another stock that I was in that was down around our level for a long long time and now is trading in the .06 range. And it don't have half going on what this stock has going on. Every dog will have it's day and I think every stock will have it's day and this one's days are hopefully soon to be green skies daily! Have a nice weekend to all!
Ok Rich! It's time to get this company transparent. Need some good solid news today. Surely with all that's happening with this company you should have something to let us know is happening. The half size bottle? When's it going to be released? How about Target? Is it just the 4 stores in Indiana or is it going nationwide? How are repeat sales? Any new promotions? Where's that carrot? We need some news? What's there been? One or two PR's since the first of the year? That's not very transparent. Let's put some meat on the bone and get this company back up over a cent where it belongs.
It's my opinion and thoughts. We all have them. Who knows who reads this board. Ever thought about that?
Very little intelligent discussion...yep. Lots of that!
But, the bottom line is, would the price we're selling to the distributor be better if it could be a little lower or is there any wiggle room. In other words, sometimes it's better to sell more at a lower price than less at an inflated price. I guess that for now, they're trying to figure out which price works the best. Would seem to me that it would cost a substantial amount more to ship the product to California than to the US east coast but there again, is the west coast buying ten times as much as the east coast is and getting deeper discounts and thus why their distributors possibly can give better prices to their retailers? I don't know. I guess it's still very early in the game for such a huge company that blossomed so fast that there's still a lot of growing pains before all is said and done. I still believe that this is a stock to hold for a good long while if Rich will do what's right and share in the profits. Still got my 3M+ shares and probably will be buying again by weeks end.
Going to send my Son in law a bottle of each flavor for his birthday this weekend and see how him and my daughter like it.
I've noticed the price for a bottle of Bellissima varies greatly across the USA. I've seen from $16.99 to 23.99 and there may be more variance than this. And what's strange is in RICH California is where I see it selling for $16.99?? Looks like there's more rich people there who could afford more than southerners who are being charged $19.99 to $23.99. If they have another promotion at Publix, I would hope that it would be at $16.99 the NEW PRICE and I think sales would grow much much more than at current levels. But, the unknown factor is how much profit would they make at that price.
