Hello Gang,
Well it's good to see that we still have a lot of the "old timers" still here. As I have said in previous messages, during the summer, there is not much time for me to post and respond to many of the emails I have recieved concerning my sales at the bar. I remain as strong in DKAM as I did from day 1 and have not sold any of my shares to date, however I have not accumulated either as I see that we have been trading in a pattern from $1.15-$1.35 range for quite some time...I purchased many shares in the $1.20 area and truthfully am overloaded at this point. We are going to definitely know something in the next 30 days w/ the release of the numbers and the potential future earning potential...1st...for those that are not familiar w/ me, I own a small pub outside of Newport, R.I. and have been selling Trump Vodka from its inception....the sales remain constant...meaning for us, approximately 1 case per week...a case contains 6 (1) liter bottles..those of you out there might say this doesn't sound like very much but when a bar on average carries 15-20 different types of vodka, one can assume how hard the and competative the vodka industry really is. We sell 16 different vodkas alone. Our best seller is Absolute..not a premium vodka but a "call" none the less. As far as the high end premium brands we sell, Ketel One, Grey Goose and Trump are all neck and neck. I have continuously called and asked the distributor for more advertising of the product so we might get the word out better but to this point have not recieved any help. The industry is tough...the next best vodka comes down the pipeline and the distributors are offered huge incentives to sell it by the manufacturers and all others are left to sell on its own merit...unfortunately this is how the industry works...as far as Trump vodka is concerned, it truelly does sell itself, once the customer tries the product...again, I repeat, once they try it..they are hooked on the great quality of the vodka....if there is no push or marketing schemes to promote the product, it will sit on the shelf of the tavern and liquor store owner and gather dust, getting those owners disgruntled and finally telling distributors to take the product back and/or discounting the product just to get it off their shelfs unfortunately never to come back...I have promoted Trump Vodka very diligently and turned many Grey Goose and Ketel one drinkers into Trump vodka drinkers on a consistant basis..of course I am doing this with incentive being a share holder in the company but the point is we need help from the manufacturers and follow up from the distributors to get this done...so to answer your questions, YES...Trump is alive and well at my place!...I will say I have spoken to Pat Kenny's daughter on a number of occasions and she has been very helpful with point of sale items to help promote Trump vodka and has stated that many new products concerning Trump Vodka are in the pipeline ie "The Flavors" for the vodka...and is very excited about the future of the company going forward with the many other products that DKAM will have to offer. Growing pains are there with any good company trying to get a foothold in an industry that is extremely competative and cut throat in nature. I think we have a company in DKAM that will remain strong and consistant for future endeavors, in my humble opinion, this I can say with validity cause I am experiencing it 1st hand and deal with its products and hear the feed back everyday. I will say, for the most part, I like what I am hearing. Cheers for now and I will continue to answer all the emails as best I can and get back to everyone with an email as I can..I hope this update helps. Billy
ps. It would be nice again to let everyone know you are still a shareholder, so post here and just say "Hi" and let us know you are still here and reading the posts and a share holder in DKAM!....It goes along way for the new and tired shareholders that are thinking of giving up on their dream. Cheers, Billy
