Creating A Brand New CPG Category.","elevator_pitch":"We are a CPG (consumer packaged goods) company that has developed a food products that make it VERY easy and delicious to eat superfoods + make smoothies. We believe in the power of plants, so we encourage people to have a smoothie at least 5 days a week and to follow an 80/20 lifestyle. This means 80% of what you eat fuels your body through plants and the other 20% can be anything! Once you start having a Blender Bomb Smoothie 5 days a week, you will NEVER go back!","story":"Brands that solve customer dilemmas have the ability to motivate purchase, deliver TRUE incrementality and create NEW categories.The Blender Bombs Journey Has Been A NATURAL Progression:Blender Bombs founder Helen Hall-Leland began her health and wellness journey as a personal trainer. She realized incorporating superfood smoothies into your daily routine was a tasty and convenient way to manage weight, maintain health, and provide the body with the proper nutrition needed to fuel a healthy lifestyle.Helen noticed the smoothie industry was dominated by lifeless, non-filling, powdery substances, often made with questionable ingredients. Plus, making smoothies at-home was a daunting task for most people. She solved this problem by rolling Blender Bombs in her kitchen and selling them out of her home. Shortly after, she expanded to e-comm and opened Hustle Smoothie Bar.The love and knowledge for superfood smoothies rapidly grew in the community. Helen quickly learned consumers NEEDED a whole-food, At-Home Smoothie Solution.Many products and companies add value to categories but true category creators are wholly accretive. It's important to understand the difference between adding value and being 100% incremental.Our consumers have significant purchasing power, along with a strong desire to eat healthier and more convenient food, without sacrificing taste.Very, very few companies have created a TRUE Omni Channel business model. The coffee industry is the bellwether. Led by Starbucks, coffee owns consumption points on-site (coffee shop, hotels, etc.), at retail (grocery stores, gas stations, etc), and on web-based platforms. Most brands and categories will never have the customer acquisition potential of Blender Bombs!","location":"Charleston, SC","website":"https://blenderbombs.com","total_amount_raised":2940335,"total_investors":1257,"is_funded":false,"is_active":false,"quality_score":5,"related_urls":["https://wefunder.com/blender.bombs","https://blenderbombs.com"]},"media":{"share_image_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/110400/xxl_cropped_7631B4A9-66C0-48A1-9353-936733A9E242.jpg","logo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/logo/110400/large_cropped_E66EFDAD-1BEE-49D4-AB35-1335D4976D24.jpeg","header_media_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/110400/standard_cropped_7631B4A9-66C0-48A1-9353-936733A9E242.jpg","cover_photo_url":"https://uploads.wefunder.com/uploads/company/header_media_photo/110400/standard_cropped_7631B4A9-66C0-48A1-9353-936733A9E242.jpg"},"links":{"company_url":"https://blenderbombs.com","instagram_url":"https://www.instagram.com/blenderbombs/?hl=en"},"highlights":[],"quick_facts":[{"index":1,"claim_id":"claim-fact-1","value":"Female owned and led; Founder.

I am wondering though you mentioned to me about multi unit franchises etc. I see smoothie king saw a very nice increase in franchises last year. I love franchise models why I invested in several. One good thing that came from covid was people started realizing a job isn't necessarily the way to go they can lose their jobs we saw a huge uptick in franchise request,one concept we sold 10 just last week! On your website you have nothing talking about franchises. You don't even mention anything like we just signed a new agreement ,have Interest nothing. What you have to offer needs to be everywhere, gyms,health and wellness centers you name it(which you may or may not no way for me to know) Your establishment in Charleston was beautiful. There needs to one in several areas. The store in Charleston was that a corporate location or franchise? Again you need to be everywhere I can see it being a 50 million company making several million in a few years if you are catering in various ways. Looks like now you have the subscriptions and retail. you can do great revenue and have very little net income,not good. Your product is more time efficient like you said compared than the normal way of making smoothies..it needs to be everywhere..do you have merch would be nice you can make a few bucks(some companies give them away) and have walking billboards. I travel alot and wear shirts of companies I invested in. People ask questions out of curiosity I sold a couple of franchises that way eventually. Got them to try the product then buy a franchise. When they decided they called me thanking me. Lastly, what I think would be nice which a company did invested in which was my largest investment ever 6 figures, they sent us bar codes that we can use to help get the product in more locations(that way we aren't doing a ton of talking cause some stores are too busy at times to chat especially if we are going on the fly plus weekly we have investor meetings (my idea) where we can share ideas etc we have ,marketing team is doing a great job sometimes it is good to have outside eyes as well. Don't want to say on why I can't email.

Thank you for your feedback and for taking the time to share your thoughts on our business. We appreciate your interest in our product and investment into Blender Bombs! Regarding franchises, this is something we are holding on pushing until 2024 and REALLY pushing it in 2025. This is for funding reasons. Our main priority this year and next is ecommerce/amazon/Whole Foods market and this is what we are actively putting all of our marketing dollars into. However, we are taking on franchises as a they come to us through word of mouth! In 2024/2025 we will start working with a franchise broker to actively sell more franchises, and we will hire an in house Director of Franchising. Our new website + rebrand launches in April/May and will have a whole franchise deck on there and a tab! Merchandise is also something that will come with the rebrand, but we need funding for this. I’m excited to share the beginning steps of our rebrand with you via a call! Personally I can’t wait to wear a sweatsuit! Let’s get a call on the calendar and chat!

Thank you for reaching out to us and expressing your enthusiasm for our niche product! Over the last few months, we have seen a steady increase in our gross margin, reaching up to 48%.

Regarding retailer profit margins, we have established different agreements with each individual retailer. Due to confidentiality clauses in some of these contracts, I am unable to share specific figures for all of our retail partners. However, I can disclose that our everyday margin at our largest retailer, Whole Foods Market, is 28%, while Whole Foods Market enjoys a 40% gross margin on our products. As for our ability to scale and fund the business, we currently have the capacity to scale up to $20 million in annual sales. We are committed to expanding our reach and making our products accessible to a wider audience. In fact, we have already made progress in this area by partnering with Walmart. Our products can be found in 1,000 Southeast Walmart locations. While we haven't yet reached the shelves of Walmart in Bentonville, we are working diligently to expand our presence and make our products available in more locations.

You typically will only receive tax documents for a taxable event that changes the value of your investment, such as but not limited to revenue share payouts, dividend payouts, gain/loss occurred in an LLC partnership, failures, acquisitions, or an IPO. Investing is not a taxable event. In general, you should consult your tax advisor on how to report your investments in your taxes. In reference to your last sentence, if you hold your investment for a minimum of 5 years you will receive the QSBS tax benefit. The QSBS tax exemption allows investors to potentially save a significant amount on capital gains: up to $10 million in taxes or 10 times the adjusted cost basis, whichever is greater. Any earnings above that amount are taxed at the ordinary capital gains rate.

Thank you so much for the kind words and watching/joining our journey! I CANNOT WAIT to launch the new branding and blow our loyal followers away. It’s going to be breathtaking! Answers to your questions below: 1) Gross Margin - 41% is above industry standard. According to a report by Nielsen, \"better for you\" CPG food brands had an average gross margin of 35% in 2019, which was actually slightly higher than the overall CPG food industry average gross margin. That said, anything north of 50% is considered best in class. Our objective is to be over 50% by EOY. We plan to achieve this through some cost savings measures (packaging, demand plan) and price increases to keep up with inflation. 2) We have growth projections and goals for 1-3-5 years. However, we hope to far exceed those projections and became a $100M brand. We don’t want to feel constrained by plans. Our first goal is to achieve $10M in sales before 2026. 3) I could talk about marketing strategy all day! Especially based of what you just said and how we’ve pivoted since FB + IG adds are no longer as effective as they used to be.

This round closes end of March/early April. The money is held in an escrow account until we pull the money out that has been closed. The wefunder money is used for growth purposes so if we don’t reach the wefunder goal, nothing will happen :) We are still able to run a sustainable and growing business, it will just grow slower.

Next weekend myself and some of my friends that played in the NFL is going to checkout your establishment amongst some other stuff I have going on in Charleston that they are interested in. First, I tried to go on your website it wouldn't work. Secondly, one thing that concerns me about alot of companies is while they have great margins and revenue their net income is extremely low. I invested in a company recently where their revenue was alittle over 13 million with 70 percent margins yet their net income was only 200k,which isn't good for investors, some reason they said they never paid attention, their cost of revenue was literally almost the same as their revenue making their net income very low. Since unless I am overlooking it I can't see your cost of revenue I don't know much it is,is that the case with you?for your franchises do you have multi unit and do you offer third party financing. One good thing about covid is people are seeing a job isn't really the way to go anything can happen and besides if you have a family you can't leave a job as a legacy,therefore, they are wanting to start their own business,buy a franchise etc. I invested in several companies that have products at retailers and franchises I told them to put pamphlets etc at locations saying interested in buying a franchise? here is more info etc. We have literally a few hundred interested in buying a franchise,with some already filling out applications. Some are regular customers. We obtained their emails etc to send more info. One franchise etc concept we did 65 million in revenue last year despite covid. Would would be nice like some companies do if you had a chart of what your product offers in comparison to others,many post the answer to this question which looks like an essay lol Thanks for your time.","author_name":"John Webster","votes":0,"created_at":"2022-11-19T18:11:13Z","canonical_url":"https://wefunder.com/blender.bombs#question-226181","answers":[{"id":226356,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:226356","answer":"Hi John!
