Sleek and stylish, the home soda maker is a countertop appliance about the size
of a coffeemaker that transforms water into fresh, fizzy seltzer/sparkling water
at the push of a button. Soda makers operate without batteries, electricity or
plumbing, so they are simple to use in a kitchen and great for bringing along on
a boat, RV or to a second home. Making seltzer and soda takes just seconds and
requires no clean-up.
A reusable, one-liter carbonating bottle (provided by Soda-Club) is filled with
water and screwed into the machine fitting. A CO2 carbonator, housed inside the
soda maker, adds carbonation at the touch of a button – as much or as little
as the consumer prefers. After carbonating the water, the soda drinker simply
adds a capful from one of over 25 soda mix flavors to make his or her favorite,
great-tasting soda.
Despite recently arriving in the US market, Soda-Club is the global leader of
in-home carbonation. Over the past decade, Soda-Club’s home soda makers and
soda-making accessories have been sold into over 10 million households in 18
countries around the world. In fact, it is estimated that over 800 million
liters of water are carbonated with Soda-Club’s system worldwide each year.
Soda-Club products are available through select retailers, plus several catalogs
and internet stores. Our primary focus in 2006 is building our business on the
web. Online revenue doubled in 2005 and we expect online revenue to double again
in 2006. We expect this continued growth to derive from excellent word-of-mouth
in combination with outstanding public relations exposure and advertising.
In recent months, Soda-Club products have appeared in Time Magazine, Food and
Wine, Popular Science, The Wall Street Journal, Ebony Magazine, HGTV Kitchen
Trends, The Chicago Sun-Times, The Boston Globe, The Baltimore Sun, The Dallas
Morning News, The Seattle Times, Cooking Pleasures magazine, msnbc.com and many
more. As we continue our PR efforts, and as consumers begin to become aware of
Soda-Club (actually, the entire concept of in-home carbonation) we expect that
demand will increase exponentially, creating a unique opportunity for affiliates
looking to earn healthy commissions. Indeed, we consider our Affiliate Program
to be an integral part of our e-commerce growth plan.
BENEFITS OF FRESHLY MADE SODA AND SELTZER
With a home soda maker, a household will save in many ways - save trips to the
store, save lugging and storage, save the environment, save sugar and
sodium…and save money!
With Soda-Club, soda stays fizzy, thanks to a special hermetic seal in the
carbonating bottle caps. That means no more flat, wasted soda. A home soda maker
and concentrated sodamix flavors means no more lugging and storing soda. Each
bottle of sodamix is about the size of a can of soda but contains enough syrup
to make 12 one-liter bottles (about 36 cans) of soda. So, Soda-Club is great for
families and for anyone with tight space, including RVers, boaters, college
students and urban dwellers.
Soda-Club seltzer/sparkling water has several advantages over store-bought.
First, the carbonation can be customized. Secondly, seltzer/sparkling water made
with a Soda-Club machine contains no sodium, unlike many store-bought brands. A
Soda-Club household will save as much as 50% over store-bought seltzer/sparkling
water.
Soda-Club sodas are a sensible alternative to store-bought sodas. Soda-Club’s
regular sodamix flavors have 2/3 less sugar, calories, carbs and sodium than
regular store-bought soda. Diet flavors are of course sugar-free, contain less
sodium than store-bought diet flavors and contain no aspartame – all diet
flavors are sweetened with Splenda® brand sweetener.
And finally, soda and seltzer households will save money with Soda-Club. Seltzer
starts at just 17 cents per liter; soda starts at just 42 cents per liter.
Soda-Club even offers an Energy Drink sodamix that consumers can make for about
25 cents per serving (compared to $1.99 per serving in the store.) Soda-Club is
an even greater value when you consider that you’ll stop pouring money down
the drain with flat, wasted bottles of store-bought soda. And no more lost
deposit fees for customers in bottle bill states. Plus, you’ll help the
environment by cutting down on all those cases of store-bought cans and bottles.
