"Come FLIRT with us!"

I think a local display is a good idea to see live reactions to your product. However hopefully it will soon hit many markets at once after a successful launch!


"First Poster of Ad Campaign"

It sounds to me like your product has been developed properly and very well, in fact! I like the integration of consumer input, and the said beauty behind the bottle. Gives your brand more equity!


"Introduction"
"For sellers, direct marketing is a powerful tool for building customer relationships." Armstrong & Kotler, Ch14 - P.416

This article is great and very unique! Certainly not something you read every day. I think a great way to market your vodka through your desired marketplaces is through word of mouth, beginning with those "hidden" salespeople in clubs, bars, etc, spreading the word and unique gospel you have to offer.


"Storyboard for upcoming commercial!!"

I really like your brand and the kind of direct marketing you're doing to the club type of scene. That's a surefire way to hit a particular type of person and keep them coming! Excellent.


"Untitled" (Shine)
"Price still remains one of the most important elements determining a form's market share and pofitability." Armstrong & Kotler, Ch9 - P.259

You'r straightforward about average pricing for everyday people. That's definitely a good way to begin setting the value of your vodka right, and making it more attainable at the same time.


"Pretty Vodka - The Beauty and the Bottle"
"A powerful brand has high rband quity - positive differential effect that knowing the brand name has on customer response to the product or service." Armstrong & Kotler, Ch7 - P.211

What type of effect are you looking to create for your vodka when its name is mentioned? I think passing the message of dependency can work for and against your brand, so just be careful! Alcohol has a lot of negative connotations sometimes!


"Verity Vodka = True Vodka"
"No single competitive marketing strategy is best for all companies." Armstrong & Kotler, Ch3 - P.67

The idea that you can sell fully custom vodka is something awesome. I think its a GREAT idea that definitely needs to take off.


"Re-introducing Raindrop Vodka!"
"A company using value-based pricing must find out what value buyers assign to different competitive offers." Armstrong & Kotler, Ch9 - P.261

Many of the vodkas being created offer these amazing flavors, aromas and sensual experiences. While they all do not offer prices immediately, how will your pricing be affected by their pricing? I also noticed your vodka is 40-proof and not the standard 80! This certainly allows for more flavor and I think that change is note-worthy.
