I think Blis should employ me as a subliminal sales specialist.
I visited New World Victoria Park yesterday after work to pick up some Blis K12 ice cream. I slid open the freezer door, and pulled out a tub, and started to read the label. My unique skills as a subliminal sales superstar made the Chinese lady passing behind me stop in her tracks and gravitate towards the ice cream freezer. She looked at the Blis ice cream in my hand, and reached in to grab another tub (naturally, the same flavour as I was holding). I read the label, she read the label. I checked the ingredients, she checked the ingredients. Through masterful use of non-verbal communication, psychology and Jedi mind-tricks, I closed the sale - the lovely Chinese lady popped the tub in her shopping trolley and was on her way.
Now, if I can just repeat this around half a million times during the next 12 months, we'll be sweet.
Interestingly, the girl at the check-out also commented that it's a great ice cream. And I must say, my wife and I were very impressed with the taste (I bought the Nuts About Chocolate flavour).
The price is a bit steep for my frugal nature, but I do like the idea of eating something that tastes delicious, is made from decent ingredients (milk, eggs etc rather than chock-full of chemicals like the cheap stuff I usually buy), and is supporting my immune system.
Anyways, good people at Blis.... keep up the good work, and let me know when you're hiring subliminal sales staff in Auckland. I'm keen :)
Hi Nigel, your post is very funny, keep them coming.
It is interesting as the Staff at New World in Wgtn also made positive comments about the ice cream. We tried both and my kids like the Pineapple chunks flavour.
cheers

Looks a lot cleaner and more professional than the existing site. It seems easier to navigate your way around, with key messages prominently displayed.
First impressions are very promising.
They're both professional, but that second one is the far more powerful marketing message - simple, instantly clear, obvious, less wordy - so that stuff should make it onto the front page I'd say. And it's got that bright clinical look that Sparky wanted too. Good.
And another...

Their new site looks good!
Regarding the company, currently they have around 669m shares issued. Are they likely to do a 10:1 deal in the future? (i.e. reducing the number of shares from 669 million to 66.9 million, not sure what you call it, the opposite to a share split!)
This seems like a company with excellent products, I just see that the company seems to be a bit slack on growth and product dev. I guess they need capital for that though.
I am in China learning Chinese at the moment. I think with a bit of guangxi (personal relationship development), the right product mix, approval from the Chinese government... the sky is the limit for health products from NZ in this market. Health/wellbeing is virtually the Chinese peoples number 1 priority in life and NZ is seen as a place with incredibly safe and reliable food safety. Already we have a number of western brands appearing in the pharmacies here mainly selling vitamins, but I can't see any probiotics yet. With the potential first to market advantage here plus integration into foods...

And a quick update on my paranormal selling abiliites... (following on from last week's episode where a random Chinese lady sidled up next to me at the freezer and bought the same Blis probiotic icecream that I was holding)... I was in another New World yesterday, picked up a Terry's Chocolate Orange [I mean, really, who buys those, apart from me?] and low and behold, another random Chinese lady stops in her tracks reaches out, takes a Terry's Chocolate Orange off the shelf and reads the packaging. A few minutes later, I saw her in another aisle, with nothing in her basket except a lonely Terry's Chocolate Orange.
I think I have some sort of talent or skill here. I'm just working out how to best profit from it.
BLT have released their new web site - and I must say it is dramatic improvement on the old clunker. Nice to see some of our dosh being invested wisely into a web presence that should definitely help to gain traction in sales volume and $$.
Well done Blis - the new site looks very professional.
