Other Products that will be implemented during 2012:
Some of these non-food products will include (but not be limited to) medical devices for the management of health concerns, topical lotions/creams/rubs for the topical management of skin and muscle issues, as well as more advanced nutraceuticals.
New Products to Come:
Within the next year, we would like to launch an additional two to four, and there after introduce maybe three to five new products per year, and incubate those into a number of different retail ready brand
Hint of the Next Product:
For instance, the next product that we will bring to market, will piggy back off of what we have begun to build around the Natural Plus Energy product. The healthy snack market is a very good market to operate in as there is so much demand for products that are good for you but still capable of meeting the “on-the-go need”. In fact, the next product will probably even augment the growth of the Natural Plus Energy product line. Really though, it is a combination of product development around products that are ready to go to market and have a significant amount of demand associated with them; and, two, what products and technologies we have at-the-ready through our internal resources and external partners.
Other Endorsements and Spokespeople?
We may even bring onboard additional endorsements and spokespeople dependent upon the requirements of future product introductions
Hint to big PR Campaign during Olympics.
we are also entering 2012 which is an Olympic year, and Shannon Miller was a summer Olympic athlete. There are a number of things that could be done with that.
Looks like Hellwig is Looking to get these products rolling and have STKO Sold!!!
Interestingly if you look at what has been going in the food market, and it will continue to be pervasive in the natural and organic market, it’s very similar to what occurred in the pharmaceutical industry – all the large players’ R&D budgets are now becoming their M&A budgets. If we do our jobs right by successfully incubating retail brands, the larger players will benefit by acquiring already successful brands and having the capability to mainstream them further.
