(PINKSHEETS: STRU) (the "Company") http://www.straightupbrands.com/, an emerging developer and international marketer of premium branded spirits headquartered in New York, has announced its recent acquisition of subsidiary Rappin Brands. Sizzurp is the first Rappin Brands product to roll out into Straight Up Brands marketing and distribution system. Since making the announcement of the acquisition, the Company has been besieged with queries that all translate to: "What is Sizzurp and how do you intend to increase sales?"
Sizzurp, a Purple Punch Liqueur, is a blend of premium imported cognac, vodka and exotic fruit juices.
-- The combination of high quality ingredients results in a drink unsurpassed by any other in its category. -- The original formula, years in the making and made popular on the streets of Houston, has been secretly reformulated to become the most palate pleasing liquid available today. -- Made in France by leading Cognac maker Meukow. -- Hip Hop celebrity artists continue to sing its praises.
Sizzurp sold itself in 2006 -- now watch Straight Up send its numbers soaring.
-- Sizzurp has sold roughly 7,500 cases representing approximately $1,000,000 in 2006 without any marketing support. -- Eight states alone generate 85% of the current sales volume of Sizzurp. -- Look for announcements of many additional states added to the distribution network in the coming months. -- Starting in March 2007 Sizzurp will appear in brand new song lyrics, CD inserts, music videos, and concert tour promotions including on stage pours and banners and wrapped tour vans by prominent Hip Hop artists -- further details to be announced shortly. -- The potential for sales growth with Straight Up marketing muscle and celebrity behind the brand is exponential. -- International sales and distribution has begun in the UK; distribution to additional European countries will be announced in the next six months.
