Winning Brands Corporation (Pink Sheets:WNBD) (Frankfurt:WMU) announces that 50,000 Winning Colours sample pocket packs will be handed to New Yorkers in person at high profile public locations in Manhattan for three days during the week of March 14, 2011 to fast-track consumer awareness of Winning Colours in the New York City market. Winning Colours is targeted to be on the shelves of approximately 100 participating Duane Reade stores by that time. This development is a milestone in the young life of the Winning Colours brand as it advances from being relatively unknown in the USA to gaining a presence in large retailers.

"We are seeing the emergence of a terrific brand in the model of the classic success story. Early adopters of Winning Colours have discovered its convenience and versatility – and they have become strong fans," remarks Winning Brands CEO, Eric Lehner. "Our goal is that Winning Colours Stain Remover becomes the favourite product in its category. Positive feedback from an exceptionally wide range of consumer lifestyles proves that this is possible. All that's required now is shelf space in America's leading retailers. That's why we are deeply grateful to Duane Reade as a leading retailer. It takes moxie to introduce consumers to an unknown product based on its merits, before people even know about it. That's leadership," Lehner concludes.

Sampling locations may include Times Square, Grand Central Station or the Port Authority depending upon weather and circumstances. Corresponding to the event, Duane Reade will place shelf tags in the participating Manhattan stores highlighting the product. The single-use samples will be contained in a Duane Reade bag that includes product literature. The program will be executed by a professionally trained event team.
