"Since
we already have a relationship with 7–Eleven’s corporate-owned
stores, our focus over the next several months is to increase
orders from 7–Eleven’s several thousand franchise stores
throughout the United States. So far, we have received
positive feedback regarding the EQ brand as evidenced by
larger and [first-time] product orders,” stated Marvin Cole,
EQ Labs, Inc.’s Vice President for Distribution."
Overview
Headquartered in Las Vegas, NV, EQ Labs, Inc. manufactures and markets the EQ
Smart Energy Drink®, which is an effervescent tablet that provides an instant
energy drink once added to any beverage. Consisting of a blend of essential
vitamins, a single tablet of EQ Smart Energy Drink® (containing no sugar and
only 5 calories per serving) is the equivalent of one can of any competing
energy drink on the market. EQ is sold in packets of one single tablet or 3-inch
tubes of six tablets, and no refrigeration is required. A single tablet or
3-inch tube containing six tablets can be transported in a pocket or purse, and
is immediately ready for use. The company presently distributes its products
through national and regional distributors.
Investment Highlights
- Huge Distribution Partnership.
The Company presently distributes its products
through national distributors, such as McLane Distributors,
one of the largest U.S. convenience and grocery store
distributors in North America, which distributes to the
national convenience store chain 7-Eleven, and numerous
other regional distributors.
- International Product Approvals.
The Company announced in late May
2009, that it has been approved for consumption in
Mexico by the Ministry of Health in that country and has
received its formal product registration in the Republic of
Brazil.
- Hangover Benefits. EQ
Smart Energy Drink helps to alleviate
hangovers. When the body is suffering from the
effects of alcohol overindulgence, it becomes deprived of B
Vitamins. EQ contains an essential blend of Vitamins B2, B3,
B5, B6, and B12 to immediately help the body replenish its
supply of these vitamins.
- Large Industry Potential. The
energy drink industry is currently pegged at roughly $8.5
Billion dollars.
Profile
"For emergent companies,
especially those endeavoring in the energy/beverage arena,
distribution is ultra critical as the company pursues its dual
needs of revenue and commercial awareness. In this regard,
securing distribution to a major national convenience store
chain will assuredly be beyond the reach of many emergent
companies and perhaps the first line of demarcation between
success and failure. For EQ Labs, Inc., which manufactures and
markets the EQ Smart Energy Drink®, an effervescent tablet
that provides instant energy once added to any beverage, a
distribution deal of significant importance appears to already
be in the proverbial bag and the company is looking for more."
(Source: FISpace.net)
Initially created by a leading and reputable company that
produces flavoring for children's medications throughout the
globe, EQ's formula was invented to consist of FDA-approved
ingredients that are not as harsh or overbearing as some of
the energy drink products on the market, and [rightfully]
dubbed the "Smart Energy Drink."
Effervescent products have been appreciated and trusted in
European countries for years. During this new millennium,
novel products like the EQ Smart Energy Drink® tablet are
consistently gaining acceptance and popularity in North and
South America. They are penetrating the $8.5 billion energy
drink industry at a noteworthy level.
EQ Smart Energy Drink® (effervescent) tablets already enjoys a
presence in several thousand national retail outlets, after
only 16 months of operation. During this short period of
operation, the company has experienced noteworthy milestones.
Additionally, distributor agreements with national convenience
store chains like 7-Eleven or Rite Aid/GNC, the increasing
demand for EQ is already being met. EQ Labs LLC is presently
engaged in formal dialogues with other national distributors
that will result in product availability in 80% of the Top-100
convenience stores and three of the Top-5 retail pharmacy
chains by the end of 2009.
Headquartered in Las Vegas, NV, a city that never sleeps, the
product is already in demand on the U.S. West Coast, but equal
appeal and demand exists on the U.S. East Coast, in places
like Miami, Tampa, and Atlanta. Additionally, college
students, truck drivers, and business professionals lust after
EQ because they know EQ allows them to work and party for
longer periods. When mixed with alcohol, hangovers are almost
non-existent. "We've monitored our sales, and have noticed
that our sales consistently increase when the season arrives
for students to study for final exams. They know and trust
it," stated Michael Villa Jr., EQ's Sales Director.
A correlation exists between Villa's statement when comparing
the company's sales activity in relation to its earlier
advertising and marketing expenditures. As an example, the
product was formally introduced to some 36 major university
campuses in its early days. College representatives were hired
to introduce [give away] samples of the product on their
campus across the U.S. "Once we discontinued giving away
samples, we were inundated with requests (through our web
site) to sell them the product. Last year, during the Spring
Break season, we had to hire extra help to adequately respond
to these requests, because they wanted to use EQ as a party
supplement. That led us to adopt the slogan, 'You Gotta Have
It!" said Villa.
Since its founding, EQ Labs, LLC has expended a significant
amount of funds to advertise and promote this leading
effervescent energy product. National radio commercials have
been produced in English, Spanish and Portuguese by Emmy Award
winning producer, Reggie LaFrance. During 2007-08, full-page
ads appeared in the programs of all major sports publications
at the professional and collegiate levels in football,
basketball, baseball, and hockey. Additionally, the company's
exclusive sponsorship of major competitions in Mixed-Martial
Arts, Sumo Wrestling, Beach Volleyball, and auto racing has
added value to the EQ brand because the product was advertised
nationally in Mexico, as well as being shown on ESPN (which
exposed the product to over 25 million viewers). Most
recently, representation contracts were secured with NFL
All-Pro, Michael Pittman, and NASCAR's Chase Montgomery, who
is the youngest winner in Daytona 500 history. In November
2007, EQ Smart Energy Drink® sponsored a driving team in the
prestigious Baja 1000, and won the 1st Place Award, and
acquired hero status in Mexico. See: EQ Smart Energy Drink
Attains Hero Status in Mexico.
"EQ Smart Energy Drink® is in the fast lane. With a management
team that leaves nothing to chance, distribution partners that
dominate the retail chain markets, a marketing and advertising
program that converts skeptics to loyal consumers, and an
increasing cadre of successful athletes or public icons to
endorse the product, EQ Labs, LLC continues to realize new
successes (increased sales) with each new day, as consumers
increasingly Think Outside the Can! " - Mo Owens, CEO - EQ
Labs.
About The EQ
Smart Energy Drink®
EQ combines functionality with the convenient form of an
effervescent tablet, and is also sugar-free. When dropped into
any beverage, the EQ tablet dissolves rapidly, leaving little
to none of the unappetizing residue common among effervescent
products. EQ
is grounded in the concept of giving people a healthy
alternative in the world of energy drinks. The product
launched nationally, debuting at Rite Aid and GNC
stores across the country.
EQ had an edge when it came to formulating the taste, coming
from a company that has a core competency in flavoring. With B
Vitamins, Ginkgo Biloba, and now Vitamin C and Zinc, the
healthy side also fell into place.
Smart, young, and classy, EQ can be
at home in the party scene, but with the inclusion of Gingko
Biloba as a memory and retention booster, it's also a great
study aid for students hoping to ace exams. For those who have
partied a little too hard, EQ can get them going in the
morning and has the extra benefit of alleviating hangovers.
Perhaps what most attracts college students to EQ is
the price -- about half the cost of a standard energy drink.
