Re: Firestar - intro - referred by Gavin Borthwick
Understood. This might explain it. By far and away the biggest problem with the first marketing product (which the website pertains too), even in retail was that people thought you need to reconstitute the crystals into a drink. This was particularly strong when the product is placed near drinks (or...

Re: Firestar - intro - referred by Gavin Borthwick
Hi, Thanks for trialling the product. Can we ask where and how it wasdisplayed and what was used on the machine for Advertising? It might have helped if you told us and we could have provided the required graphics etc. We would also have suggested wider distribution than one machine and provided som...

Re: Could this be the answer to tobacco ?
It depends where the machines are, in a Bar people might prefer the drink, why get a drink AND an energy product when you can get it it one Fortunately people prefer to drink beer, wine cider and Firestar allows them to get a kick nad enjoy a drink of their preferred beverage rather than 25g of suga...

Re: Could this be the answer to tobacco ?
For vending a higher price may work, despite being higher tech than drinks there is resistance to paying a high price for a sachet/sweet which is one mouthful only -- which is the whole point its convenient and can be carried anywhere unlike cans. Red Bull had exactly the same thing when they starte...

Re: Could this be the answer to tobacco ?
No offense taken, we are learning as we go. We suffer from being small and produce here so we know we are expensive. On the flip side we know we have the best quality in the world and because of the tech needed to hide the flavour of the caffeine we know this can't be found cheaper elsewhere .... Ye...

Re: Could this be the answer to tobacco ?
Answering both questions It's the answer to tobacco in vending - ie tobacco is being banned in October and this could be one of the products to fill empty machines. As it's a vending forum I took it for granted this would be seen and apologise for any confusion, clearly Firestar is not a smoking ces...

Re: Could this be the answer to tobacco ?
Electronic "ciggies" are nicotine delivery systems in much the same way normal "ciggies" are Nicotine is very different to caffeine, its both a stimulant AND and a relaxant; whereas caffeine is just a stimulant that relieves the symptoms of fatigue, either physical or mental. Nic...

Re: Could this be the answer to tobacco ?
Hi, this is NOT a drink, its crystals that you eat like popping candy. No need for water, it fits in your wallet and with slow release technology lasts for 4 hrs. THe cola tastes like cola bottles! With only 10 calories its much healthier than ALL the leading drinks. Cigarette machines are a big opp...
