Business Wire
RushNet, Inc. (Pink Sheets:RSHN) exhibited at Expo Japan last
weekend with the solid results that were anticipated. Held at
Tokyo�s Big Sight Convention Center, Japan�s premier trade show
facility, the 12,000 attendees at Expo Japan were Buyers and key
personnel from Supermarkets, Convenience Stores, and Wholesale
Distributors from throughout the Pacific Rim. For those seeking the
future of beverages, e-water� was the talk of the show. RushNet
made strong contact with numerous major Wholesalers, and Grocery
and Convenience Store Chains who directly sought out its products
from the advance promotion done by Gen 2 Marketing, RushNet�s ally
in the Japanese market. By far, the buzz of the show was RushNet�s
e-water�. Show attendees were much impressed with the concept of
e-water� and many were especially taken with its design. Some
commented that it looked better than FIJI� water. The Japanese
beverage market, even more than in the U.S., is shifting into a
rapidly expanding water category. The abundant nourishment of
active ionic electrolytes in e-water� easily made it the Expo�s top
item among all the beverages available. The timing for e-water� in
Asia could not be better. Dr. Henry Meissner from Australia, who
was hired to represent a major Japanese Wholesaler, directly
queried Robert Corr, President of RushNet, on the details of
e-water�. He was then quoted as saying, �e-water� is the hottest
product at this show and I will be recommending it to my Principal
for purchase.� The large Retailers like Watson�s, a Hong Kong-based
Chain with over 1,000 stores in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and
Malaysia, also showed a great deal of interest in RushNet�s Ginseng
Rush and new Ginseng Rush XXX Energy Drink in cans. Senior buyers
from Watson�s and Japanese Chains are eager to bring these to
market, once the governmental approval process is complete.
RushNet, Inc. has already commenced its process for securing
e-water�s approval in Japan and is presently working with Sogo
Clinical Pharmacology Ltd., based in Tokyo, to assist in the
approval process. While RushNet concedes that the process is
arduous and time consuming, Sogo�s guidance will enable e-water� to
move more quickly to an approved status. Robert Corr said: �I
mentioned in an earlier press release about the market potential
for RushNet in Japan, but those expectations are now dwarfed by the
feed back I have received and the genuine enthusiasm I witnessed by
attending this show. The bonanza of marketing opportunities for
e-water�, our new Ginseng Energy Drink and American Ginseng based
soft drinks are far more than I had imagined. With over 10,000
retailers just in Tokyo, and vending machines on every corner, I am
even more confident that we will be able to develop a significant
amount of business in Japan alone. I sat with Importers,
Wholesalers and Retailers in Tokyo and we worked through the
margins everyone wants to make on top of our selling price plus
shipping costs, and RushNet will be making a significant return on
its investment for all e-water� product sold there, based on those
conversations. With Japan being the gateway and cornerstone of the
Asian market, approval of our products will surely launch RushNet
into a whole new magnitude, both for us and our investors.� RushNet
is presently responding to all show inquiries. The marketing
feedback from the show is refining the promotional support programs
for e-water� to optimize market placements once the approval
process is completed. Disclaimer: The Company relies upon Safe
