Every time mgmt. attends a show, they pick up numerous new customers. We've been told that sales ramped from .5T/mo to 7T/mo in 2017. Travis has calculated the estimate of revenues from those.
We also know that European sales are now showing up. Last year mgmt. attented the European Coating Show in Nurember, Germany. Contractors now can order from White Cap as well. I expect with each additional promo (I refer to the shows especially), there would be a good uptick in orders through WC. After a show in LV where the co had not only the foundational product but new decorative epoxy coatings, the interest would have been great as this provides an easy and inexpensive coating for large commercial areas...including airport terminals, lg office building, etc, offering a beautiful, high quality, glossy, expensive-looking deco finish. You have the pictures. These shows produce many new customers otherwise they wouldn't participate again and again.
The good news is that the company isn't just a mere startup but has had a full year+ of sales, we expect revenues and can foresee greater revenues showing up later that are coming in during this first quarter of '18.
Darin has provided the basis of all of this since November on a respectably regular basis.
He also provided the LV show news, expecting SHs have most of the reportable news from those earlier newsletters.
Currently Darin is fielding orders, confirming that the product being produced is consistent with HCTI standards, shipping samples, taking orders, overseeing sales, questions and requests from our distributors, meeting with customers, etc.
They've attended a major show each year since 2016 of which I am aware. You need only sk yourself why they keep doing this?
I've been scrutinizing the patterns of other 000's that are delinquent with filings, diluting like crazy, who haven't a product to sell and whose prices are going through the roof-$.0001 to .001 and way beyond.
After eight months or so of sitting at .0000 to .0001 we saw our volume spike to a high of 635,000,000 one day and we remained at .0002 for a respectable period before falling back to .0000.
It was painful for everyone, but upon thoughtful analysis it occurs to me that it was a 'step' in a very calculatedly slow process leading to much higher prices. One day soon the 'whales' will see the indicator that this is 'off to the races' and will pump the heck out of it and due to the revenues (either expected or announced) prices will accelerate at lightning speed to numbers that will put all the fear at rest.
Check out PZOO today as one example. Somebodies made $thousands in a day....and I don't think it is over.
