Vertical Branding, Inc. (OTC BB: VBDG.OB) announced today that they have received over $1 million in orders for their innovative SteamBuddy™ handheld steam cleaner from numerous well-known national retail chains. During the early months of this year, the company began incorporating SteamBuddy in direct-to-consumer sales channels, and they now anticipate the beginning of shipment to retail stores in mid-May.
SteamBuddy is a handheld cleaner that is versatile, lightweight, and perfect for cleaning clothes, drapes, curtain, and other household fabrics. The consumer has control over the amount of steam desired when cleaning, while putting the power of a dry cleaner into the consumer’s hands. The steamer heats in seconds and produces a gentle touch on fabrics, resulting in fresh looking clothes and furnishings.
“SteamBuddy is affordable and easy to use, and provides today’s value-conscious consumer with a low-cost and environmentally friendly alternative to conventional dry cleaning,” stated Vertical Branding CEO, Nancy Duitch. “Since we launched SteamBuddy in January of this year, consumer and retail buyer response has exceeded our expectations, prompting us to shorten our timetable for retail roll-out.”
John Cammarano, President of Vertical Branding’s Retail Sales Unit, said, “We have commitments for SteamBuddy from almost every major retailer we sell through, many of whom have already submitted purchase orders. We believe the product is a strong value and that the retail community has recognized the importance of that in today’s economic environment.”
