Marley Coffee Announces Its Has Shipped Over 500,000 Real Cups
Within First Month
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Marley Coffee
(OTCBB: JAMN.OB), a sustainably grown, ethically farmed and artisan
roasted gourmet coffee, today announced that it has distributed
over 500,000 Marley Coffee Real Cups™ within its first month of
distributing its single serve product. Marley Coffee's Real Cups,
which are compatible with most of Keurig's branded single serve
k-cup machines, are now available both in the United States and Canada and represents the fastest moving
product in the company's history.
"The response to our Real Cups has been overwhelming both from a
consumer review and distributor satisfaction perspective," says
Rohan Marley, Chairman and Founder
of Marley Coffee. "Talkin' Blues – our 100% Jamaican Blue
Mountain Real Cups, with beans that come directly from our Marley
Family estate in Jamaica, has been
the top selling item that's being reordered right now. My
objective has always been to move JBM from being a niche item
within the coffee industry to something that can be enjoyed
ubiquitously by all people. We thought it would take time for
this to happen, but distribution has exceeded my expectations."
Distribution initially started in Canada with London Drugs as the company's
anchor retailer in the West alongside a number of Office Coffee
Service/ Breakroom companies throughout Canada.
The United States followed
quickly in the same pattern as Canada. OCS/ Breakroom and
online operators throughout the country have picked up Real Cups
with key national grocery retailers in the distribution queue.
Additionally, redistributors have started coming on board.
"A large part of my coffee experience has been in the single
serve category, so I know the opportunities in this channel," says
Brent Toevs, CEO of Marley
Coffee. "At NCS&V, we had exclusively represented all of
Timothy's K-cup business for many years before it was bought.
Out of the gate, our growth for Marley Real Cups is exceeding that
growth."
"The key difference in what we did before with Timothy's, and
why we believe we'll be even more successful with Marley Coffee is
our distribution strategy. We are selling Real Cups to both
retailers and distributors. Many people have been limited by
access to the single serve market and we want to make sure our
product is available to anyone to purchase. Our goal is to
build relationships with everyone without restrictions. We
won't depend on lengthy contracts that could possibly limit our
customer's opportunity to leverage our products for success.
We want our customers to buy from us because they want to and know
that we really value their business and the opportunity to be
successful because of them."
