Initial Target Market:
Energy
Product: Fusion 6+ Hour
Energy Boost
According to the
Beverage Marketing
Corporation (2007), the
market for energy drinks
in 2006 exceeded $2.5
billion, which
represented a 516% gain
from 2000. (The
category grew an
additional 9% in
2008.) New product
introductions have
numbered in the
hundreds, accounted for
a significant percentage
of the sales
growth. The principal
marketing channels in
2006 were
convenience/gasoline
stores (35.7%), mass
merchandisers (16.5%),
and supermarkets
(11.3%), with most of
the growth occurring in
mass merchandiser and
supermarket channels.
Energy "Shots" have been
particularly successful
since their launch in
2004, rapidly growing to
11.7% of total energy
drink
spending. Benefits
include convenient
portability (small
size), less
carbohydrates and sugar
than full-sized drinks,
added vitamins and
minerals, easy
consumption of the small
volume of liquid (two
ounces), and no need for
refrigeration. Retailers
enjoy the small
footprint of the
marketing cubes, high
margins, and rapid
inventory turns. The
small footprint allows
retailers to merchandise
the shots in
high-impulse locations.
The significance of
being one of the first
brands to market cannot
be overlooked. Energy
Drinks began their
popularity with products
like Red Bull in the
late 1980’s. Although
there are over 600
energy drinks on the
market today, it is
estimated that Red Bull
sold over 5 Billion
units in 2007. The
concentrated 2 ounce
energy shot drink began
approximately 3 years
ago with about 30 brands
in the category today;
the first, ‘5 Hour
Energy’ is expected to
have had sales of well
in excess of $100
million for 2007. Bond
launched its Fusion 6+
Hour Energy Boost at the
National Association of
Convenience Stores in
November of 2007 where
it was voted Best Taste.

Retailers have found
that the energy shot
product category is #1
in both dollar sales at
the front-end checkout
and in dollar sales per
square inch of display
space. The Fusion
6+Hour Energy Boost was
first shipped to
customers in January of
2008 and was No.7 in the
category by the end of
its first year on the
market. (Source: A.C.
Nielsen, Nov 2008). A
6-piece counter display
for Fusion® is 12.75
square inches, and a
12-piece counter display

February 5, 2009 –
Fusion Premium Energy
Enters into Joint
Distribution Agreement
with Vespa Beverages
within the Direct Store
Delivery Channel -
SOLANA BEACH, Calif. -
Bond Laboratories, Inc.
announced that its
wholly owned subsidiary,
Fusion Premium Energy,
has entered into a Joint
Distribution Agreement
with Vespa Beverages,
manufacturer and
distributor of Killer
Buzz Energy Drinks, as a
Direct Store Delivery
partner.
"In a major step towards
the development of a
Direct Store Delivery
program (DSD), Fusion
Premium Energy Products
are very excited to
announce our partnership
with Vespa Beverages,"
said Scott Landow, CEO
of Bond.
"The largest DSD
programs in our business
are dominated by
independent bottlers and
distributors. It has
been a challenge for us
to establish the right
DSD relationships
because the majority of
their business is
placing bottles and cans
in retail coolers. The
Fusion 2 ounce Boost by
itself (which goes on
the front counter) was
not typically a fit in
their business model. By
partnering with Vespa
and their Killer Buzz
Energy Drinks, we now
give these distributors
strategic brands in both
the 2 oz. shot for the
counter and the 8.3 and
16 oz. Killer Buzz
Energy Drink cans for
the coolers. This is a
'win-win' for both
companies. Since our
products complement each
other and don't compete,
we can assist Vespa
gaining access into
markets where we are
already strong and vice
versa. By sharing sales
resources in such a
productive manner, each
company essentially
reduces their marketing
costs by 50%," concluded
Landow.

Jeff was Sr. V.P. of
Sales and Marketing for
Boo Koo Beverage, where
he managed their
dramatic revenue growth
from $200K to $18
million during its first
two years."

Laboratories and Fusion
Premium Energy have been

lean and keeping
overhead to a minimum.
The current economic
climate now affords us
the opportunity to
acquire experienced
talent such as Jeff
Jonke, which would not

his entire career in the
beverage business,

management positions at
companies that include
