For example: In the 3rd quarter, 85% of total VINIA® customers who purchased via VINIA.com, are subscription based and 90% of active subscribers are for 3 months or greater. This demonstrates customer commitment to the VINIA® brand and represents a significant customer lifetime value. Cost of customer acquisition in Q3 2022 declined by more than 50% compared to Q2 2022, demonstrating the proficiency of the marketing team to skillfully employ the most efficient media mix (including TV, google and facebook) with consumers. In Q4, national radio and other channels will be tested to assess their ability to further improve overall communication efficiency. VINIA® continues to achieve a best-in-class verified customer rating of 4.8 out of 5 with over 830 verified reviews, demonstrating VINIA®’s ability to make a significant foundational positive impact to consumers’ lives.

 

The Israeli market continues to demonstrate increased consumer adoption of VINIA® and delivered a record USD 627k (39% growth over Q3 2021 and 10% growth from Q2 2022).

Scott McCune, founder of McCune Sports and former SVP in the Coca-Cola Company (leading Coca-Cola’s global strategies and organizations for integrated marketing) and member of the board of advisors of BioHarvest said, “These results are very impressive especially when you look at how the Company is building best-in-class commercial and marketing capabilities for VINIA®, which is the first of many products they will bring to North America. Decreasing the cost of acquisition and the fast scaling of the business are encouraging achievements as they look to build a highly profitable business and world class brand.”
