Minuteman Press Million-Dollar Circle Member Michael Levy Grows Sales for Levittown and Farmingdale Franchises

Minuteman Press International Inc

Michael Levy owns Minuteman Press in Levittown, NY located at 3000 Hempstead Turnpike. In June 2021, he also purchased the original Minuteman Press franchise in Farmingdale, NY located at 324 Main St. Already a member of the Minuteman Press International President’s Million-Dollar Circle, Michael has continued his strong sales growth in the first two quarters of 2022, including record monthly gross sales in March 2022. Key Drivers of Growth When asked about the key drivers of his growth in 2022, Michael shares, “Some would say luck, I would say persistence, perseverance and simply being known to be someone who gets things done. While there have been many challenges due to supply chain issues for the past year or so, I was able to use that to my advantage.” Michael further explains how he has been able to manage and overcome supply chain issues, saying, “For example, I had a customer contact me for a job I had never done before but I had done other jobs for this customer. It was a huge job, for 150,000 each of two envelopes. Someone else, who normally does this job for them, was not able to get the stock. So, the customer called me and told me what happened and asked if I can help.” He continues, “I spent two days researching and I was able to get both items for them and deliver them when they needed. One of the suppliers was through one of the field reps at Minuteman Press International, so it was great I could leverage that connection with my franchisor. I ended up producing $25,000 worth of envelopes I had never done before, and they just recently asked me to quote their next order of 200,000 of each one.” Michael sees the wide variety of products offered by his two Minuteman Press franchises as another competitive advantage. He says, “It’s examples like that envelope order plus the other items we offer that most other printers do not, such as in-house screen printing, embroidery, dye sublimation, and stamp production, that allows us to stay busy and grow. Another key is to have enough customers ordering products that when one is slow, others are not. This is a key ingredient, especially with my larger clients.” Promoting the Return of Live Events on Long Island As more live events, concerts, ball games, and trade shows return to Long Island, Minuteman Press is well-positioned to pitch in and help promote them. Michael shares, “It is very nice to be getting orders for tickets, programs, journals, and most importantly, items for trade shows and community events. Promotional items and apparel have really picked up over the past 6 months and that is because these events are happening again. That certainly gets me excited to be able to offer such a wide range of products that cater to all of my customers.” As for what advice he would give to other Long Island business owners right now, Michael shares, “Of course, every business is different, but one thing all businesses must do is to market themselves. Marketing is a very wide-ranging word and can be done in many different forms. Simply wearing a logo polo shirt is marketing. In addition, advertising, mailings, flyers, business cards, promotional items, apparel, and anything you can put your company logo on are all forms of marketing.” He adds, “That is exactly where I, as the owner of two Minuteman Press franchises, come in and help. We can put your logo on just about anything that allows you to market your business. I always tell my customers when they ask, ‘What type of marketing should my business do?’, to try a little bit of everything and see what works best for your specific business.” To find your local Minuteman Press on Long Island, visit their brand new consumer website, https://minuteman.com.

SOUTH CAROLINA MOM WITH 250 PAIRS OF KICKS FEATURED IN LATEST DROP OF SMALL-TOWN SNEAKERHEAD

Hibbett, Inc.

BIRMINGHAM, AL – July 19, 2022, Hibbett, Inc., an athletic-inspired fashion retailer with more than 1,100 Hibbett and City Gear specialty stores nationwide, today announced the launch of the latest Small-Town Sneakerhead (STSH) episode. Single mother, small business owner and sneaker enthusiast, Rochelle Sullivan, takes viewers in and around her hometown of Lyman, a small mill town outside of Greenville, South Carolina and reveals her favorite spots and impressive sneaker collection. “Sneakerheads can’t be categorized as one type of person, they are unique and inspiring individuals connected by their affinity for sneaker culture,” said Sarah Sharp-Wangaard, VP Marketing, Hibbett. "With every episode this project adds new twists to the world of collecting, varied demographics, geography and multi-generational stories, sure to inspire like-minded people who are passionate about sneakers. We are grateful to the characters who are willing to talk to us and share their personal journey.” “I started collecting when I was about 12 because my brother was a high school athlete and I was drawn to all the cool sneakers the players wore at his games,” said Rochelle Sullivan. “I was then determined to save my allowance to purchase cool sneakers. I have passed the passion along to my 10-year-old son, Weston, who has been wearing all types of sneakers since day one. I love to include him in my hunt for new releases, take him back-to-school sneaker shopping locally and to sneaker conventions.” In the new episode of Small-Town Sneakerhead, Sullivan and her son lead cameras around to visit some of her favorite eateries and spots in and around Lyman. The crew stops by Red Hill Hot Dogs, Tyger River Ballpark, Greenville Falls Park and Hibbett Greenville. Sullivan says growing up in a small town like Lyman was great but its quickly growing and as it is becoming more diverse, she is looking forward to new types of experiences. Some of Sullivan’s favorite pairs in her collection include; Kobe 6 “Grinch,” Kobe 6 “Mambacita,” Sean Wotherspoon 1/97 Air Max and the Concepts, Patta and Atmos Air Max packs. “You don’t have to have a lot of pairs to be a Sneakerhead, you just have to love sneakers,” said Rochelle Sullivan. “I style my looks with sneakers first and then the outfit – if the sneakers are the statement piece then I keep the outfit neutral and vice versa.” “As Nike celebrates 50 years of excellence, it is great seeing stories of the love of sneakers being handed down from generation to generation,” said Matt Halfhill, Founder and CEO, Nice Kicks. “Whether it be in big cities or in small towns, Nike is part of many people's journeys as sneakerheads.” The new STSH episode featuring Rochelle Sullivan launches today across digital channels and social platforms including; Hibbett.com, NiceKicks.com, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. About Small-Town Sneakerhead In 2020, Hibbett launched the Small-Town Sneakerhead project to provide sneakerheads from all walks of life the platform to share their personal sneaker narrative.

Female-Led Wellness & Beauty Brand Unveils Bold, New Brand Look and Inspiring Tagline

Reserveage

Reserveage, French-inspired beauty supplement and skincare brand, has relaunched today with an eye-catching, bold, new brand look. The goal is to better reflect their mission to provide women of all ages and backgrounds with science-backed, proven products that support radiant health, well-being, and natural beauty—inside and out. With self-care as a starting point, Reserveage is redefining their approach to beauty with a holistic mindset, a purpose-filled vision, and product innovation driven by the evolving needs of women through every age and stage of their life. “Last year, we took a step back to focus on awareness studies and macro trends happening within the health and beauty space,” says Yamit Sadok, Senior Director of Marketing. “Our major takeaways were that we must meet women where they are and continue to make a fundamental shift from anti-aging to pro-aging and from an industry-driven aspirational beauty ideal to a personal ideal where women define beauty for themselves.” As part of this new direction, Reserveage charged a renowned female photographer and notable female artist to create new packaging that represents a more inclusive, broader definition of beauty, as well as the idea that beauty, wellness, and self-care are inextricably linked. Rising to the challenge, they combined a vibrant color palette with real floral photography to capture the spirit and essence of a bold, modern woman—her individuality, growth, and multi-faceted beauty. This female-driven campaign was created by women for women, which is reflected in the elevated packaging design, as well as the overarching message that beauty itself—and the products that help a woman achieve it—begin from within. In addition to the new packaging, the brand will launch a new digital and influencer campaign, website, and tagline to ensure its core consumer feels represented, understood, supported, and inspired. “We truly are a company that believes beauty doesn’t have a time limit and that what makes a woman unique is also what makes her beautiful,” says Sadok. “Our new brand look and tagline ‘Believe in your beauty. We do.’ embodies this belief and inspires women to believe it too.” The new campaign has started to rollout across Facebook, Instagram and TikTok, as well as print ads, broadcast media advertisements, and in-store takeovers at select retailers this year. Consumers can now see the new packaging available for purchase on Reserveage’s website, Amazon, Whole Foods, Vitamin Shoppe, Natural Grocers, CVS Pharmacy, Vitacost, IHerb, and soon at key retailers including King Soopers, Ingles, Raley’s, Publix Green wise locations and more. For more information visit Reserveage.com/new look or follow-on Instagram @reserveagenutrition. About Reserveage: Founded and run by woman, Reserveage is a leading wellness and beauty brand. Their name combines the words “reserve” and “age” to highlight one of their flagship supplement ingredients, resveratrol, a compound found in red wine that helps women to stay healthier for longer. They are category pioneers in the supplement space with three number one selling brands, including resveratrol, collagen, and keratin. With the addition of a new skincare line featuring a proprietary microencapsulated copper peptide technology that promotes the appearance of collagen-rich skin, they have established a complete self-care system that supports beauty, health, and well-being from the inside-out and outside in. Reserveage brings every product to market with science-backed results— ensuring high-quality, proven products that help women of all ages to look and feel radiantly healthy, inside, and out. Reserveage is available at some of the world’s top retailers, such as Amazon, Vitamin Shoppe, CVS Pharmacy, Whole Foods, Natural Grocers, King Soopers, Vitacost, Iherb, natural stores nationwide and more.

FRX Innovations to Benefit from Proposed Regulatory Changes in Washington State

FRX Innovations Inc

FRX Innovations (TSXV:FRXI) (“FRX,” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it is stepping up its communication and education program to help customers, OEMs, and retailers, meet the upcoming Washington State Department of Ecology (“WSDE”) regulatory changes that will impact consumer electronics supply chains and materials design for companies active in the state, and therefore across the United States. WSDE issued its end of Stage 3 Draft Regulatory Determination Report to the State legislature to permanently ban the use of brominated flame retardants in all plastic casings across a wide range of electronics and home appliances used indoors. This development comes as part of a broader Safer Products for Washington initiative, a pioneering set of laws that are aimed at replacing toxic chemicals in a range of applications with potential exposure for consumers. Specifically, this action will affect high-touch electronic equipment such as televisions, smart speakers, computer monitors, and home appliances and will drive the conversion to more sustainable alternatives such as FRX’s line of Nofia Flame Retardant Polymeric Additives. Chief Executive Officer, Marc Lebel commented, “FRX has been anticipating the flame retardant industry’s inevitable shift away from toxic chemicals. Together with a number of global partners, we have thoughtfully developed a family of commercial materials choices that deliver market leading flame retardancy with environmental safety that the industry and consumers demand and deserve. We are witnessing an unprecedented number of opportunities with an increasing number of resin producers and compounders keen to develop cost effective alternatives, promptly ahead of this major change. We commend the State of Washington for this important step in its program to eliminate known toxic chemicals from consumer products and see this as an inflection point for flame retardants, as part of a global shift away from harmful chemicals.” Lebel continued, “The proposed rule changes establishes the State of Washington as a leader in the US affecting the flame retardant industry, since OEMs and national retailers seek products that are approved in all states across the country. This follows in the footsteps of similar regulatory changes in the European Union and New York State.” “The proposed rules intend to ban brominated flame retardants as a class of materials from these uses. This would be the most aggressive legislation to date affecting the flame retardant industry. These changes, and likely others yet to be announced, are leading to an expansion of FRX’s customer base. We are thrilled that we invested early in additional capacity in our state-of-the-art manufacturing plant and are ready for the coming windfall in demand.” FRX has been built on over US$120MM of investment and is in commercial production at its fully permitted facility in Antwerp, Belgium from where FRX is currently supplying its Nofia Flame Retardant product line to a growing number of multi-national OEMs around the world. For more information, please visit www.frx-innovations.com.
