Operational needs of whether it be manufacturing r d regulation marketing and distribution and on top of investing into else they are also engaged with us on a distribution mou to market and distribute else portfolio in their core territories which i’ve already mentioned and so we currently are finalizing our penetration plan into europe through their french
Operation and well also started recently to build a marketing strategic plan for the chinese cross-border platform to sell our your product us products into china wow through robust operations on that platform china is actually the largest market in the info nutrition space it’s almost half of the market so it’s a very lucrative market for us and we are looking
Forward to start doing business there now you officially launched your else plant-based complete toddler nutrition to the u.s market in august can you tell us more about your u.s launch strategy sure so um we’re already selling as you said the toddler complete nutrition online and on our e-store and then our amazon store and we’ll be rolling out in the retail
Space within the end of this by the end of this year year’s i’ll be telling about that in the the next questions um but um we will be launching additional products such as kids nutritional drink and a six months product as soon and i think it will be in q4 q1 of 2021. um additionally um on our innovation pipeline uh we also have a breakthrough plant-based uh
Clean label infant formula for babies from zero to 12 months which is anticipated to launch in approximately two years but it’s currently on its pathway for an fda approval so regarding our launch strategy or slash gordon market strategy we focus on three target groups which we have identified while researching the north american market during the past year
And the vegans and flexitarians the allergic or intolerant families and i call them healthy progressive consumers those who know all about every ingredient on the label and prefer to have as little ingredients as possible to their foods so these groups are our early adopters and we will see the great traction we already see the great traction and the great
Acceptance of the brand and and the concept amongst them they’re also our ambassadors as they keep pitching our story to their friends and family so what we’re doing is we’re helping them to do that using a very big community of influencers and in the plant-based and parenting space with whom they i mean they will be promoting the brand enthusiastically as a
Better for you plant-based baby nutrition choice for parents and we’ve engaged with them our brand ambassador our crown and brand ambassador hilaria baldwin um she’s a tier one influencer she’s a wife of alec baldwin and she’s a tijuana influencer in the parenting and plant-based space a guru of herself and she will help elsa through creative social media and
Video content that highlights her findings and journey as a plant-based mother wow after the elections we will be launching an overarching hero campaign and working very hard on social influential marketing channels to bring else into the u.s public awareness on a larger scale wow you guys are busy now else nutrition also began selling and i’m really excited
About this it’s plant-based toddler nutrition formula on amazon the largest online marketplace in the world what is the significance of this launch yes well else is expanding into the world’s largest online retailer as consumers continue to eat more meals at home and increasingly rely on grocery delivery services is really significant for us i mean during
Coven amazon’s and so online grocery sales triple year over year during the second quarter of 2020 as more customers continue to get their groceries delivered rather than going to physical store so selling direct to consumers through online channels especially amazon is a major pillar for else global go to market strategy and furthermore the company’s amazon
Store will provide a convenient alternative for parents who prepare prepare shopping online and we’ve been getting many requests from cons from customers who want to purchase our product on amazon.com it’s also you know a seal of trust for for our consumers and this is a tremendous convenience and accessibility boost using the world’s largest ecommerce platform
As we continue our singular focus to bring novel plant-based clean nutrition to families um yeah now you mentioned a little bit about hilar helara baldwin celebrity author podcast host and parenting expert recently joined else nutrition as your brand ambassador how did she get involved with the company yeah so as a mom who’s always like advocated a plant-based
Lifestyle um the collaboration um originated from hilaria’s own search for a suitable toddler formula alternative for her children and so this is how it all started she actually found us online and she approached us and asking for a sample to use the product and then she posted she posted about else about using else and just on her own and then we we decided
To engage and so she’ll help us through as i said creative social media and video content and she really embodies our brand values for her desire to take baby nutrition to the next level with a heightened awareness of for health and wellness she’s a true champion of the cause and and she which makes them beyond excited about this collaboration um so together
We hope to raise awareness to the benefits of clean label plant-based baby nutrition for this generation and the futures and the future ones i think that’s a great addition to the team now do you plan on adding any other celebrities or influencers as brad and as brand ambassadors in the coming weeks and months so we’ve indeed had interest from celebrities and
Influencers to work with that with a brand we even had some notable names discover the product through world word of mouth and that’s very very significant for us and so they’ve purchased it um for their little ones and we expect to be able to announce some some of these like more formally some of these names more formally in the coming months and and we
Are considering additional answers to work with us and help spread our mission and work elsers is that the word for else influencers yeah elsers i like that yeah now do you else how do i mean how do you use else do you do it i mean just as a drink or you put it in your smoothie or or your pancake so we ask people how do you else we’re kind of using our own
Uh yeah i like that that’s good that’s catchy now elsa has also signed a key distribution agreement with one of the largest and most well-regarded fresh natural and organic and specialty food distributors in north america can you tell us more about what this means for the company yes so we’ve recently announced engagement with ke distributors which is the one
That you’ve described and kahi has nearly about 70 years of experience uh servicing store owners and today has um a network of over 16 distribution centers across north america wow um so this agreement will open distribution of else groundbreaking plant-based nutrition products to thousands of stores shelves in the united states um this division of else first
Product plant-based complete nutrition for toddlers will commence in november hopefully yes we’re it’s not only in our um on our discretion it’s something that there’s some technical uh procedures to be done but this is our expectations and so they’re gonna take it from the california and oregon distribution centers and so actually um the this is this is the
Most very significant step for else so it actually opens around 30 000 real outlets for for else in potential and and it’s uh it’s it’s an employee-owned big corp certified company and they supply natural food stores supermarket chains independent grocery stores and other specialty retailers across north america through its distribution center so we’re actually
Going to be open to potentially to everybody and we’re going to roll out gradually and getting into all those stores and hopefully wow that is impressive when we first started talking about this i saw the potential you know i saw the future potential and we were at like 30 cents and stock is up like 800 percent so you guys have been a huge success and to see
You now a year later see you guys on amazon raising 25 million having major influencers involved ambassadors it’s exciting super exciting so what can investors expect next from else nutrition well first and foremost we’ll be rolling out into more and more retailers so this is one expectation which i believe is most important for our investors to see our growth
And our expansion and we’ll be announcing the material listings of the larger nationwide retailers for sure and there will be several new product launches in the kids space and the baby space as well as new territories penetrations with agent age as i just described and also independently and so this is these are the milestones that we are anticipating in
