On a more positive note also, Chris, I have been working very hard on trying to obtain sales channels to support the brand development.
Thus far, I have:
1) Pushed closer towards a deal with the largest distributor in Laos who have over 200 sales. They operate on a cash basis also which I think would suit you guys.
2) Contacted Amway at board level and an ex senior director at the company with over 150 staff under her who may be willing to set up a commission based sales scheme for La Purete
3) Had meetings with Tesco, Boots, Watsons and a range of major supermarkets that I am partnered with through my other business endeavours towards a more medium term push of products into their outlets.
4) Established interest from a Malaysian distribution company consisting of 10 sales. They will obtain the licenses (collagen does not require to be registered in Malaysia) and products can be trucked over to them.
5) Located 8 potential experienced agents in Bangkok with Alvin and he will put these to you guys also.
6) Obtained through our company board partners, a direct contact to TV stations and the main TV direct for your benefit. They will also be helping to do a publicity and celebrity push this month on our products, as discussed with you. We will ask that they take photos with our products and help to promote.
7) Initiated discussion in advance with the Kwok family, my partner in Hong Kong, and one of the wealthiest in Asia, towards establishing sales in China where he alone has over10,000 outlets. He will assist in securing license and also push to his TV stations. Alvin will keep you updated here as well.
There is more that we have done, in fact, but I hope we can discuss this in person so as to agree on how to proceed in the best manner.
Thank you and good night.
