Bringing up negatives aren't a bad thing but that is disliked here. I want to know how sales are over seas but nobody has answered.

Unlike you though I believe this stock is going to be big. I'm a long and strong.

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!

Hey...they should show Folly with a cig in his mouth...that would engender trust and confidence in the brand!...lol...

Who buys cigs from a website? No one knows what campaign they will have...after all their Executive team launched one of he most successful new brands in the past...IMHO...More focused targeted campaign will be used.

But hey ... now the "pounders" are Marketing Experts?

Folly, what are the high-margin, premium brand cigs that you believe Red Sun will compete against? How many? Is it really 100s in a "saturated market"?

It is my understanding that retailers will have an incentive to sell the premium brand due to profit margins. As somebody with a sales / marketing background, I can tell you that the most cost effective way to generate sales is via word of mouth. If high end retailers spread the word and promote trial, the sales can generate. There is no DTC advertising that is really necessary if the customer picks up their current smoke product at the shop. A simple poster for a couple bucks at smoke shop is all that would be necessary, for starters. All IMO.
