The marketing materials in the Kannaway back office include pre-approved marketing options: five choices of web and mobile capture pages, retail store image and sales pages, graphics, business card templates, and social media messages for all sales team members to promote their network marketing businesses.
"Streamlined communication is key to this rapidly growing organization," says Jeff Rogers, CEO of Kannaway. "We are very proud of the work that our marketing team has done with providing world-class materials to enable organizational growth. We are extremely excited to leverage these tools and continue to educate the masses about the CBD-rich hemp oil products that are unique to Kannaway. The public is hungry for this information, exemplified by the fact that the first 10,000 Brand Ambassadors joined the organization in a mere 96-hour period."
The Company unveiled its mission, their exclusive CBD-rich hemp oil product lines, and their sales team resources during the Kannaway Convention over "420 weekend" in Denver, Colorado in April. More than 750 Brand Ambassadors converged upon that national launch event and were the first to see the Company's first products: KannaKick™, the world's first CBD-rich hemp oil functional food product; Cannabis Beauty DEFINED™, the first-of-its kind luxury anti-aging beauty line; and HempVAP™, the extremely popular hemp lifestyle vaporizer pen with flavored CBD-rich hemp oil cartridges. Product samples were shared with the lucky participants from the convention stage. Individuals from the "Kannaway Nation" who could not attend watched the all-day convention as it streamed live online. To access the video recap, go to: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpDvmiE8LpU
With the consistency of taffy, KannaKick™ chews are a convenient new energy product. Each KannaKick™ chew contains 5mg of CBD-rich hemp oil, 100mg of caffeine (slightly more than one cup of coffee), and B vitamins in each chew. These CBD-rich hemp oil functional food chews are sold in an eight-pack "brick" or in an "essential," "lifestyle" or "premier" bundle. KannaKick™ flavors currently include: sour apple, orange mango, icy mint, cinnamon fire, and chocolate fudge.
The award winning CBD-rich hemp oil used in the KannaKick™ manufacturing process is sourced from HempMeds by HempWire, LLC, a Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC Pink:MJNA) joint venture with LiveWire Ergogenics, Inc. (OTCQB:LVVV) ("LiveWire"). Research indicates that the global market value for functional food will be $221.58bn in 2014.
HempVAP™ is a unique lifestyle product that allows users a stylish and popular way of accessing CBD-rich hemp oil. HempVAP™ spokesman, Master Bong, is known by millions in the cannabis space and is supportive of Kannaway's mission to educate the public about hemp-based CBD. Master Bong is featured on the Kannaway website as well as in the HempVAP™ strawberry and honeydew cartridge shopping cart images.
Cannabis Beauty DEFINED™ is a CBD-rich hemp oil anti-aging beauty line that includes a luxury cleanser, exfoliant, moisturizer, day & night serum, toner, and salve. These products are sold individually or in "essential," "lifestyle" or "premier" bundles. The Cannabis Beauty DEFINED™ salve is promoted by hemp CBD enthusiast and UFC mixed martial arts professional athlete, Brandon Vera, through the Robert Scott Bell Show and other media outlets.
