NEW YORK, NY, March 18, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE – Tauriga Sciences, Inc. (OTCQB: TAUG) (“Tauriga” or the “Company”), engaged in building its business through the development, distribution, and licensing of proprietary products as well as the evaluation of potential acquisition opportunities and equity investments, today announced that it received an initial $54,000 Tauri-Gum™ purchase order from a major New York City based distribution company (the “Distributor”). This purchase order is for a total of 6,000 individual Tauri-Gum™ blister packs or 600 retail boxes. Within the next few days, the Distributor will send a truck to Tauranga’s fulfillment facility and take possession of the above-mentioned product. The Distributor has a major presence throughout the New York City Metropolitan area (“NYC Metro area”) and generates annual revenue well in excess of $100,000,000.
The Company has made the strategic decision to largely focus its ongoing commercial launch on the New York City (“NYC”) retail marketplace. The reasons for this, are that: The Company has excellent NYC distribution relationships and the Company believes that it can launch its brand in NYC in an efficient and cost-effective manner. Besides this $54,000 purchase order, the Company has already received orders through its E-Commerce site (www.taurigum.com), which has been processing transactions since last week.
The Company is currently negotiating a comprehensive 12-month distribution agreement with the above-referenced Distributor and believes that it will be successful in consummating this agreement (within the very near term). The Company’s first major corporate goal is to place Tauri-Gum™ in 300-500 select NYC Metro area stores, during the month of April 2019. Should the product prove to be successful in this first phase of its roll-out, the Company will allocate the requisite resources for additional expansion in NYC as well as the Northeastern United States.
