Do you smoke?
I've have smoked for over 30 years and never once visited a cigarette companies website. Why?
When is the last time you have seen a cigarette being advertised?
Smokers go to the store and buy cigarettes, they don't shop online!
You give incentives to the distributors and retailers to advertise in store, people try new cigarettes all the time. Over 30 years I've tried atleast 20 different brands and I smoke the one I like.
The best advertising for cigarettes these days are in tobacco shops, stores and word of mouth. Example, 10:00am break at work my buddy is smoking Red Sun cigarettes, hey what is that can I try one. Wow these are really good, hmmm so I start buying Red Sun at $50.00 -$60.00 per carton per week for life unless I decide to buy a VLN cigarette when they come out :)
Remember the most important part of this: 1% of US smokers buy Red Sun that is a $2 billion market cap for the company =PPS $40.00. 1/2% is a billion= PPS $20.00. These are premium cigarettes, rich people love premium everything, cigars, cigarettes wine. The market is there and Red Sun will get into it without spending a fortune on marketing.
Very few smokers will ever go to the website believe me this is not the ecig market!
XXII is extremely confident they can gain a 1% market share in this country. They will also sell Magic cigarettes. If you take out VLN, VLT, BAT, FDA, MJ, patents, etc....this would be a solid investment at these levels, throw all the other opportunities into the mix and the potential here is MASSIVE!
The only marketing you will see regarding cigarettes is people dying, losing there legs and talking through tubes, sad but true. Who is paying for those commercials?
So please think before you start dogging the company about marketing money! The distribution is being set up as we speak!
PS: These cigarettes have nicotine, these customers rarely stop buying and the profits continue to roll in!
