Lexaria Updates Sales Channels Efforts
Kelowna, BC / June 5, 2015 / Lexaria, Corp. (OTCQB:LXRP)
(CSE:LXX) (the Company ) provides the following information regarding sales
channels that the Company is developing.
Lexaria has to date sold small but increasing amounts of
ViPovaTM Tea through the ViPova website. The Company has certain
marketing strategies under development that could result in meaningful increased
awareness and product sales prior to the end of the Company s fiscal year
To facilitate our sales, Lexaria has signed an agreement with a
sales organization that specializes in sales to the medical marijuana dispensary
industry. Direct sales representatives initiatives are to commence next week.
The professional salespeople will introduce Lexaria products, beginning with
ViPovaTM Tea and gradually introducing additional products as they
become available. The focus of these sales efforts will be leading medical
marijuana dispensaries, where customers are generally already informed of the
beneficial properties of cannabidiol.
ViPovaTM Tea is now available at a small number of
retail and online locations. We expect to soon have additional online and retail
locations where ViPovaTM is available, and will announce all these
locations soon. Lexaria has also begun welcoming affiliate sales people who are
having increasing success selling the product both to individuals and to retail
Lexaria has also continued efforts to make ViPova Tea available
at Amazon.com and is awaiting a decision from Amazon regarding this sales
channel, which has taken more time than expected.
Lexaria has also identified a particular health & fitness
vertical sales channel that management believes will be very receptive to our
CBD-fortified products, and is preparing a large marketing and sample provision
campaign to this industry this summer, focused to start on Western US states.
One particularly interesting aspect of this sales channel is that Lexaria
currently has virtually no competition within it, since those companies that
produce THC containing products are not permitted to sell within this channel in
general. Lexaria s products, using our proprietary patent-pending CBD infusion
process, are uniquely positioned to deliver CBD through popular food and
beverage categories.
Coordinated with our sales initiatives are our product
development programs: we want our salespeople to have the ability to sell
several unique food products sooner rather than later. Product development in
the areas of hot chocolate, coffee, flavored teas and energy bars is all ongoing
Lexaria is a food sciences company focused on the delivery of
cannabinoid compounds procured from legal, agricultural hemp, through gourmet
foods based upon its proprietary infusion technologies. www.lexarienergy.com
ViPovaTM uses only legal CBD oil extracts, grown
from agricultural hemp in locations where it is legal to do so, in
ViPovaTM-branded tea. ViPovaTM uses its patent-pending
process to infuse concentrated amounts of CBD within lipids in its tea,
providing more bioactivity and comfort to the body during the absorption
process. Only ViPovaTM has this ground-breaking technology for
CBD/lipid infusion. www.vipova.com
