Innovative Beverage accomplished this significant increase in sales in 2008 utilizing only a handful of independent beverage distributors. In early 2009 the Company began signing agreements with national distributors as demand for their unique product increases. To date in 2009 seven major beverage distributors MBC United, Clayton Distribution Co., Select Drink, Wil Fischer Distributing, Arkansas Distributing, Mississippi Distributing, and Mitchell Distributing signed on to distribute drank(TM) in 11 new territories. These territories include areas in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Missouri. "Although we are thrilled with the dramatic increase in sales, we have yet to attain even a fraction of what management believes is the potential market share for our product. As we bring on new major distribution partners we feel will be able to meet the increased demand for drank on a national level," said Peter Bianchi, CEO of Innovative Beverage Group.
