"Our new 'Partner-with-Purpose' marketing program initiated in early 2008 is producing tremendous results for us in our non-natural foods supermarket accounts. Our sales team has worked hard to get [ Reed's Ginger Brew ] and [ Virgil's Root Beer ] placed into mainstream soda and beverage aisles. We've had some major wins this past year, and as a result Reed's is one of the fastest growing premium beverage companies in mainstream supermarkets," commented Neal Cohane, Senior VP of Sales, National Accounts. "We will continue to work closely with our customers, implementing the 'Partner-with-Purpose' marketing plans which include in-store sampling campaigns, weekly ad/circular participation and additional promotional efforts for the Reed's and Virgil's brands," added Cohane.
Chris Reed, Founder and CEO of Reed's, Inc., stated, "We're extremely pleased with Neal Cohane's sales team results. Their performance, given the state of the overall economy, has been outstanding. Neal's 'big picture' perspective, having come from management at Pepsi, has been extremely beneficial to our company." He added, "While we don't expect to have the top 4 selling soft drinks in mainstream as we do in natural foods, our early results show that there is a passion developing for our natural beverages in this segment as well."
