mCig, Inc. Sells Out of Initial Inventory -- Provides Corporate Update
Today : Tuesday 12 November 2013
-Initial Inventory of mCigs Sold Out in 10 Days
-Management Team in China Securing New Inventory and QA/QC
-mCig 1.0 Issues addressed and Fixed in next batch of mCigs
-Company to begin accepting preorders for mCigs shortly
mCig, Inc. (OTCQB:MCIG) is pleased to announce that in less than 10 days the company's initial inventory of mCigs has been sold out. The company had initially projected modest sales within the first month and also wanted to ensure the initial round of mCigs would be well received by the target demographic. The results confirm that a vibrant market exists for these devices and mCig, Inc.
"We launched on October 31, at precisely 12:00 AM EST. Our initial batch of inventory was projected to last for one month based on our internal estimates of what the conversion rates would be from our marketing campaigns. On the third day we noticed a sharp increase in traffic from roughly 10,000 hits per day to between 50,000-90,000 hits per day as the mCig began to experience a viral effect. Subsequently our daily sales numbers rose to an annual pace of roughly $500,000 and our inventory was very quickly depleted. The experience was exhilarating as we sold to customers from New York to New Zealand and were averaging about $20 USD per checkout, per customer inclusive of shipping and handling. On Sunday November 10, we shut down the store as we ran out of mCigs to sell. While it is unfortunate that we had to stop selling mCigs and temporarily halt our momentum, we believe that we are now better positioned for growth as we have received crucial feedback about the mCig and have a more comprehensive understanding of the market opportunity . We thank all our customers and shareholders for making this launch a true success and we look forward to the next few months as we resume selling the mCig!" said Paul Rosenberg, CEO of mCig, Inc.
mCig 1.0 Issues Addressed and Fixed
The company has been made aware of issues that arise when cleaning the mCig. While these issues do not affect all users, about 10% of users report their mCig heating element either broke off or stopped heating after cleaning the device following a successful initial use. The company and its engineers have addressed this issue by redesigning the mCig heating chamber. The mCig now has a removable heating element that will be unscrewed from the heating chamber when cleaning allowing for simple cleaning without coming into contact with the heating element. Other improvements have been made to the heating element that will result in more durability when used with dry leaves or herbs. None of these improvements will result in a higher selling price for the mCig. The company has also sent a representative of management to China to personally inspect the quality of the next batch of mCigs. Finally, the company is extending an offer to any customers that have been impacted by these issues for a free mCig from the new batch of inventory.
mCig 2.0 Pre-Orders
The company has decided to reopen its stores for fully-refundable pre-orders of the mCig 2.0. We expect to be restocked by the end of this month but caution potential customers that any additional improvements to the mCig will be met with additional delays numbering in the days, not weeks.
