The Market for Energy: Drink Ads and the Target Group - Energy Drinks at Fact Expert

The Market for Energy: Drink Ads and the Target Group - Energy Drinks at Fact Expert: "Because the energy drink is still part of a new and developing industry, the energy drink target market is different than in some of the other beverage industries. Energy drinks have become a very popular, “hip” part of society, but the market at which they are aimed is not as wide and expansive, or diverse, as some might think. Early in energy drink history, when they were first being sold in the United States, athletes were the primary consumers. This shows that even initially energy drinks were directed at a select crowd, a group of people with specific interests. Although the consumer base for energy drinks has now expanded beyond that of simply athletes, the target market is still more particular than in other industries."

Energy Drink: A New Industry - Energy Drinks at Fact Expert

Energy Drink: A New Industry - Energy Drinks at Fact Expert: "The energy drink industry is a smart industry that is continually developing, expanding, and using innovative marketing techniques. As a whole, the industry caters to a younger market, and some energy drink brands aim their products at a health-conscious crowd. The primary target for the majority of energy drink companies is male teenagers and young people, mostly in the 20s age bracket. It is a small segment of society and seemingly very tight market, but these potential consumers have so far been exceptionally receptive to energy drink products. The energy drink industry is not dominated by large, giant companies like the soft-drink industry, but instead characterized by stiff competition between an increasing number of smaller companies, all catering to a very select consumer base."

The Energy-Drink Buzz Is Unmistakable. The Health Impact Is Unknown. - New York Times

The Energy-Drink Buzz Is Unmistakable. The Health Impact Is Unknown. - New York Times: "Nearly 200 new energy drinks have hit store shelves since January, according to the market research firm ACNielsen. Led by such brands as Red Bull, Rockstar and Monster, energy drinks are a $3.7 billion industry whose revenues have increased by 51 percent in the past year alone. Red Bull is the third-largest source of beverage profits in convenience stores, according to one recent market survey.
“It started out as something for clubbers and extreme-sports types,” said Jeffrey Klineman, the editor of Beverage Spectrum. “Now it’s gone mainstream.”
So has the ingredient list. Energy drinks increasingly are formulated with fruit juices, teas and dietary supplements like ginseng and glucosamine that appeal to older, health-minded consumers. Taurine, an amino acid essential to growth in infants, is a frequent additive, though scientists say large amounts provide no advantage to ordinary adults."

Energy Drinks Amp Up Profits

Energy Drinks Amp Up Profits: "The names of energy drinks convey power, strength, speed, and yes, even virility—Red Bull, Go Fast, Erektus, Dynamite, Flying Horse, Warp 4. Whether these so-called 'energy drinks' deliver the physiological benefits they claim is a debate that may never be settled.
But there's one thing these drinks do deliver—big profits. Although the energy drink category is barely two years old, industry experts believe it represents much more than a fad driven by hyperactive 20-somethings. It's here to stay.
'Energy drinks have an allure, almost a sexual tension, a mechanism that people believe will exhilarate them,' says Tom Pirko, a leading beverage industry analyst with Bevmark LLC in Santa Barbara, Calif. 'I think we've seen that the category has legs. This is a niche, and it's proven to have the right qualities to maintain it. The issue is how big [the category] will become.' "

Energy drinks outperform all other beverages, report

Energy drinks outperform all other beverages, report: "3/12/2007 - Energy drinks last year stormed the US beverage market, outperforming all other categories, while one sports drink inched its way into the nation's top five trade marks by displacing a popular soda brand, according to a new report.

Although carbonated soft drinks still dominated the market in 2006, accounting for more than half of all beverage sales by volume, total sales in the category dipped by just over 1 percent during the year.

In contrast, sales of energy drinks shot up by almost 50 percent.

'The liquid refreshment beverage market is being driven by the health and wellness trend,' said Michael Bellas, chairman and chief executive officer of the Beverage Marketing Corporation, which published the new report."

SEASILVER USA PRESS RELEASE ... 3-6-2006 ... Bela Berkes: "March 6th, 2006

Dear Seasilver Customer / Associate,

They say timing is everything, and unfortunately, that works both ways!

Seasilver has seen some tremendous growth and success in many of our programs, the Co-op, the Follow-up Program, the V.I.P Program, all coming together and paying off at the right time!

On the other side of things, Seasilver very recently experienced a minor internal bump in the road, which, unfortunately, had the potential to turn into a major concern.

During a planned and scheduled server upgrade, consolidation, and reconfiguration, several problems occurred which had serious implications in our ability to communicate and to our external image.

Keep in mind, our highest priority is security and reliability of your INTERNAL data, and at no time was there any risk or stoppage in internal processes. In other words, orders were verified, placed under proper sponsorship, and in the appropriate time frame for appropriate qualifications.

In the mind of a Technician, something that is 99% done is almost complete. However, the remaining 1% has affected the Internet web pages, and the printing and fulfillment of a small percentage of invoices. Understandably, the external perception is based on what you see!

Seasilver's main communication has evolved to email, web pages, or online replays of our update calls. That's also the most visible to our customer and distributor base.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience. We understand that this has affected your perception, but we appreciate your understanding and patience during our upgrades while we are resolving these matters.

Thank You,

Bela Berkes
