BLT - Blis Technologies

[THEONE]

looks like they are trying to sell finished product in international markets..Be a master of ones own destiny..

Unfortunately ingredient sales haven' been as successful as hoped, could easily change though.

I actually think Blis could be profitable now if they really wanted to, but they just invest for future growth. Which I think is appropriate.

The missing ingredient is investing in marketing and distributing internationally. Unfortunatelly they don't have the funds.

Even domestically i think they could do better, you rarely see Blis M18 or the Fresh Breath Kit at pharmacies. No one has ever heard of them.
These products aren't for everyone, but allot of people have bad breath and bad teeth. Inner health often has a promo taking up the whole window.
The adwords for the Blis website has also stopped. I would like to see more of these https://www.insight.co.nz/blis-probi...-brand-launch/
Looks good...

As mentioned in a previous post about Life space Probiotics Australia (taken over for 600 million) they targeted the Chinese market with a brand ambassador and ecommerce, Daigu..they spcefically targeted the infant market... https://www.acbr.com.au/690m-life-sp...althcare-surge

It is good they are reviewing the Chinese market, they should copy lifespace....Daily Defence Junior and Tooth Guard Junior would do well..
The key is Chinese are more like to buy for the children than them selves. They want the best for their child.

I think they are on the the right track and making progress I just wish it was faster..I would support a capital raise...

someone is jumping ship. Only one buyer left at 1c.
Could this stock depress me any more!

I departed the scene a little while ago (focussing on the ASX), so I haven’t been on Sharetrader for at least six months.

I dropped in yesterday and had a read through some recent BLT posts. I was mortified to see Simla has sold out of BLT! Despite me still liking the science behind the product, the fact that Simla has pulled out raises some serious concerns. He was always the staunchest of Blis supporters. Thanks Simla for your considerable efforts in researching the stock over the years - your insights were always very much appreciated.

As for BLT, I’m hoping it can still be successful (I love Kiwi success stories) but I can’t help but notice the cycle of ‘almost’ reaching profitability then not quite getting there. It seems to have been the same story for years! Good luck to those still holding on.

Crikey! Some progress to report.

"Blis Technologies launch of products on US Amazon platform
Blis Technologies have entered the US market with a range of branded oral
probiotics under the Blis Probiotics brand. The range is available on
Amazon.com.

Blis CEO Brian Watson says that as part of the company's finished goods
strategy, Blis is aiming to enter new markets during the 2019 financial year.
"The USA is the largest market for probiotics globally and having BLIS
finished products available on Amazon is an important step in the next phase
of our growth strategy."

The launched range is based on products already established in the NZ market
but not yet available in the US including TravelProtectTM, FreshBreath KitTM
and HoneyBlisTM."

This will be interesting to see if they make any real progress.....as depends how they listed them.

It is pretty difficult to navigate Amazon listing on your own, and there are companies that organize the listing and logistics - at a price.

That price can be pretty hefty - especially with small volumes. Presumably Blis have some sort of regulatory approval for the US - otherwise that would have ramped up the listing cost further.

Still, hopefully further exposure and will be interesting to watch the sales rankings and feedback. All incremental sales growth......

I went to our local pharamacy last week to collect a prescription my GP had faxed through. As a former BLT shareholder ( sold out at 5c ) I noted the entire window display was taken up by Buccline Berna, a similar but inferior product, It is SUCH A SHAME that a company with so much potential, backed by robust science, does not have the marketing budget to gain traction as we approach the age of peak antiboitic therapy.

Just did a "Blis" search on Amazon.........already quite a few Oral Probiotic products listed. The good thing is of course they all contain our ingredient K12 & M18 so exposure already there. How having finished product on Amazon will affect profitability will remain to be seen.........but every bit of exposure has to help. I still remain a believer in the science and even just today there was a gut bacteria guru talking (on Channel 3) highlighting the importance of good bacteria and ways of encouraging that by various means.......probiotics naturally been top of the list. The same applies to the oral cavity. (mouth, teeth, throat, gums) Some interesting endorsements attached to some of these Oral Probiotics on Amazon, mainly around halitosis (bad breath).........see below:

I was thinking about killing myself for quite sometime. Do you know what it's like to gag on your own foul taste in your mouth? To see every person you ever talk to, pinch their nose with disgust? To have even your own dog keep a distance from your foul stench? I do, and nearly had enough... $20,000 at the dentist, and $10,000 at the gastroenterologist, $2000 at the ENT guy and no one is able to help.... our society is plagued with antibiotics when your product makes it clear that pro biotic is the way... two day of your product and the foul stench has subsided and the foul taste is eliminated... You guys MUST educate the dentists of the world-if they would have gave me one of these little magical pills 5 years ago, it would have spared me much mental stress, anxiety, and near suicidal incidents... you guys are truly healers - and I for one have been blessed to have ever stumbled upon your product... thank you truly

5.0 out of 5 starsEliminates tonsil issues

I've tried a few different oral probiotics and have had the best results with this brand. As an adult who never had their tonsils removed, I constantly suffered from sore throats, tonsil stones, and other throat issues. After doing some research, I read about probiotics as a possible solution and decided to give it a try. It's been almost a year now, and I'm very happy with the results. No more sore throats and tonsil stones have nearly been eliminated.

5.0 out of 5 stars20 year of bad, bad

20 year of bad, bad, can smell my breath from across the room problem gone! Nothing else totally eliminated my problem until i tried this! Had tried EVERYTHING and EVERY PRODUCT out on the market. More dentists should know about and recommend this product. Of course you still must brush teeth and tongue everyday, and floss. Give it at least 3 weeks of taking 2 per day faithfully to really eliminate bad breath. I will never be without this great product! It has literally changed my life. I can talk to people face to face without them cringing, and rubbing their noses from my bad breath. Worth every penny! At first I was skeptical about buying it, figuring that I am going to waste money once again on something that didn't work. I hit the jackpot finally!

I think Blis should try getting their products into Iherb as well. Lets hope the amazon platform brings a lot more revenue and an actual profit next FY. Still a believer. Just.

It is good to see the transition from 'ingredient sales' to 'own brand/product sales', while the development of more distribution channels is also welcomed. Progress in channels targeting the Asian market would be good to see alongside the Amazon move.

Disc; Currently 'free holding' a reasonable sized parcel in my bottom draw, holding for the long term.

I purchased (on Amazon) an oral probiotic that contained BLIS ingredients back in 2015 when I was living in the US - so I think you're right that it's a good transition to own-brand sales. They've been selling the ingredients into products in the US market for years and it clearly hasn't been enough
