That is the very thing analytics pick up. Since November, I ran trial campaigns on Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, AdWords and more. Twitter was by far the lowest return that hardly registered much traffic. Trust me, I was disappointed too. I bought a twitter bot just to try to generate more buzz on Twitter, and the results were minimal. Conversions (purchases) are coming from email campaigns and google organic traffic. Without a unified message engaging the market with information and product, this train doesn’t leave the station IMO.
I’ve been supportive of many of the operational aspects of this business because that is what I know. But what is crystal clear to me after all my trials is the need for sales and marketing. Hartman was very receptive of the information but cannot or does not know how to put that side of the business together.
I maintain that HEWA and a sales team are his only hope right now without a robust marketing effort.
I followed the google analytics of the website. Most sales were driven by company emails or organic google searches. Twitter driven traffic was non-existent, Facebook and Instagram were much more effective.
Without a real marketing campaign and salesmen, this company will not see the growth.
I really thought Hartman would get on the marketing train but he sees it as cost prohibitive IMO.
Yeah Squid, I hear ya. Same.
Debt can sometimes be good... but dilution rarely if ever is.
My guess is 4-6 months.For 4 months I lobbied for marketing changes and could get zero commitment. HEWA and a sales team are their only hope of turning this around. Shame. Great product.
Hartman is not anti-PR, but he does associate a high cost with them. He only wants to put them out if he has something legitimate to announce.
I'll happily be wrong. Let them order!
My understanding is that 'Focused' might be a fair word for now, although once the sales team gets going, it wont be a direction they are sent. They are using the data available to them. I agree that the younguns are a force to be reckoned with, but I'm not sure they have the money that the older folk do to come back to the well.
Whoever said 'dont rub it?'

RUB IT IN!
Yes, I am an idiot. I didnt sleep much last night. Newborn and shop project...
I think we are somewhere in the middle of that. In terms of revenue, in Dec I was calculating about $4,000 in sales per month from the website. 80% increase would mean $5,000 assuming your average per sale stays the same. New visitors to the site are also trending up. This week looks like one of our best in a while.
Organic sales trending up as well as adding Healthwarehouse.com and a new distributor in FLA...
We are definitely headed in the right direction, but we still need more.
That is just the company website.
Number of orders continuing to trend upwards. 80% increase in orders the last 30 days over the previous 30. That is just # of orders, not revenue.
I just received 1 of everything today. I will be applying it to my Achilles for tendinitis. Will advise...
Also, orders are up 56% over last 30 days compare to 31-60 days. That’s the right direction if you ask me.
HealthWarehouse sees themselves as a solution to the opioid epidemic. They see $BIEI as part of the solution. They will not be getting out of it any time soon. There is a reason they have in the agreement the rights to market the product. They have big plans for this line.
Currently that is not the case, that is the goal. HealthWarehouse.com has their own digital marketing team, as well as an Amazon team. They are going to lead that charge. $BIEI does not have the ability to deal with Amazon right now. $BIEI products are currently not available on Amazon, from any seller.
There are no supply chain issues. Amazon removed the product. I would chalk this up to Hartman not having a digital specialist that can speak Amazon's lingo. Sending letters of protest is no longer a real way to communicate, in 2017.
This rose will not bloom over night. 2018 is an important year. If marketing and sales dont take off in the first half...
She's been listed as the CFO for since I started following the company a year ago.
Hartman is going to send me some samples so that I can do some online reviews of the product on instagram and youtube and such.
I'm having fun with this social media side of things until the new direction is set.
Search hemp oil and no one else pops up. They chose $BIEI.
Also, I have been running a test AdWords campaign to see how it contributed to the web traffic and to see if we were able to convert any sales.
Amazon is OWNING the Hemp Oil advertising on Google. They are able to outbid anyone on a cost-per-click basis.
Very disappointing. More conclusions tomorrow at the end of my Adwords test campaign.
Another distributor lead off of Instagram today. @painreliefme
Correct, the owner really likes the product, and hopefully he will succeed there.
Talking to Hartman, I'm guessing that the average distributor can sell about $1,000 per month.
With each distributor we sign, the next becomes easier. I have a couple more referrals in the pipeline, potentially.
2018 is the year.
Independent Pharmacy
Spoke to Hartman today, there may be a PR coming in the next couple of weeks on a new distributor signed up in FLA.
Google Adwords campaign has begun.
We currently have at least 5 distributors and are about to be hiring a sales team. Encouraging!
Contact $BIEI with this information if you believe it can help the company. NO PMs here.
Sales Update: Contracts/Agreements have been drawn up and approved by the company to begin hiring sales reps. The work will be commission based, no salaries paid by the company.
Real product and major distributor. Yeah massive fraud, lol.
I know, LOL. I was just entering an order and I was like, OMG, ....... daaaannnnnnng, missed it.
I approached a few more today. We'll see.
New Distributor Push: I have recommended and Mr Hartman has a greed that we need a distributor interest/sign-up page on painreliefmeds.com. I expect we'll have one soon, where distributors can show interest to the company, and where the company can advertise a need for distributors.
Squid and I had gotten a Florida distributor signed up in December through Twitter engagement. I expect this interest form will make it easier for that process to be facilitated.
Nice get.
I'm fixing to go streaking if we get to .01
Another major voume day already almost 15 milion in 30 minutes!
