Rudy Nutrition, Inc. (RUNU.PK) announced that it received a positive response at the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) Spring Expo held last week in Las Vegas, NV. The annual expo is one of the world’s largest Vending and Foodservices Industry events. Typically thousands of national vending industry professionals and potential consumers attend the annual expo.
The NAMA expo allowed the Rudy team members to meet sales personnel and distributors face to face to discuss opportunities to stock the Rudy Beverage lines. It also provided an opportunity for the Company to introduce potential customers to Rudy beverages. Having signed agreements with a number of national distributors in recent months, the Rudy team found that brand recognition for the health-conscious Rudy beverage line was much stronger than at previous expos. Word is out on the ‘new age beverages’, and this year’s event at the Mandalay Bay convention center appears to be a pivotal point for Rudy Nutrition’s public launch of its products.
“We spent much less time informing people of the product and more time letting people know how to get it, as this time around people we already familiar with the our beverages,” stated Rocky Brandonisio, President of Rudy Nutrition, Inc. “You could really feel the synergy when the Rudy Nutrition sales teams converged on the floor with the customers. I truly believe we have some great opportunities to gain market share with the Rudy Beverage lines’ healthy ‘never give up’ image.”
Rudy Nutrition is now in negotiations with a number of influential brokers and distributors who want to distribute the Rudy beverages in their marketplaces. One of the companies taking part in negotiations is an Ohio-based sales and marketing company which has distribution channels in Indiana, Ohio, West Virginia, Kentucky, Vermont, and Western Pennsylvania.
