"revenues are not coming in as expected" ... well duh!
I just now returned from a Walgreen's that I have checked from time to time, but today was the first time I talked to anyone. (the Walgreen's where I DID check before, told me they had sold one unit of Powerfuse in a month and no Electrofuse). Anyway, today I asked the clerk, who seemed to know his way around energy supplements, what was selling and what wasn't. He said 5 Hour due to the immense advertising and Rock-On somewhat were the best sellers. He did not hesitate to name the two worst sellers, and he said Sheets and Fuse. He said Sheets used to have 4 different Sheets and now were down to 2. I asked him which sold more between Sheets and Fuse and he said "neither, but if I had to choose, I'd say Sheets". The ONLY thing he knew about Fuse was it's high price. He did not know it was a drop!
For those of you who are only seeing 2 or less of each drop on the shelves in your area Walgreen's, then they are not selling well at all. Chances are very good that if you check, Sheets will only be 1 or 2 deep as well. Take a look at all the rest. None of them are only 1 or 2 deep. Extras are stacked behind the products that are moving.
Some have posted that the drops are moving well in their respective Walgreen's, but for the most part, the majority of posters have their head in the sand as to our sell-thru problem. St. Louis is a typical large city in every way, and is a great sports town. The drops are following the lead of Enerjel. Put the product in, give virtually NO reason to buy on the front of the box, and do not advertise.
If and when we do advertise, how will we sustain it?
The drops are going to die on the vine unless something changes pronto! Here is a challenge to the board. Give me reasons why the drops wont wither and die? (and are your area Walgreen's carrying more than 2 of each drop?) and if you check, I'll bet Sheets are now 2 or less on the shelf.
What has hurt me the most as an investor is easily the fact that I was originally invested because both of our drops were scheduled and planned to come out sublingually, which would have differentiated us from all the rest by bypassing the GI tract. So many advantages to brag about, speed being the most obvious. Now, even if the drops have sublingual capabilities, (do they?), the public will never know. At this exact point in time, we are just a box in the overcrowded energy field telling the public "Half the Caffeine With All the Energy You Need".
Whoop-de-do!!!!!!!
