Vestiage™, Inc. (“VEST”), the “Healthy-Aging” Company, announced today that it has re-negotiated its agreement with Media Funding Group and secured an expanded commitment of $10 million in total media from Media Funding Group, a NWBB company. The funds will be made available immediately. Media Funding Group provides advertising expertise and private funding access for advertising and marketing campaigns.
“After getting more deeply involved with Vestiage, and seeing the growth in their commitments from national and other retailers, it made sense for Vestiage and Media Funding Group to structure a solution that covered both direct response advertising and supported the retail expansion and branding needs of RegiMEN™ and future brand launches,” said Marc Hatch, the Media Funding Group Vice President of Funding.
Scott Kimball, CEO of Vestiage, Inc. said, “We recently have experienced a swell in commitments from national and other retailers for the RegiMEN brand. In order to meet the changing media needs of our Company to support this expanding retail presence, we were able to secure an increase in the funding commitment from Media Funding Group that also covers brand and retail oriented advertising. Our RegiMEN television commercial is now entering production and we expect to begin airing it in August. In the meantime, we will continue to spend on national radio media.”
Vestiage sells RegiMEN in both the retail and direct-to-consumer channels. In the first quarter of 2014, the Company started its national radio campaign for the RegiMEN brand and saw strong initial acceptance from consumers as evidenced by an increase in gross revenue with both retail and direct response revenue growth contributing to the increase in sales. Additionally, the RegiMEN brand experienced good retention in monthly reorders. The Company is currently executing on a national retail rollout strategy that began February 3, 2014. RegiMEN is currently available at www.RegiMENLife.com and at select GNC and all Hi Health retail stores.
