ForeverGreen - an all natural whole foods company says that the growth of their company in Mexico has been amazing, with significant increases in sales from month to month. ForeverGreen said that with the huge growth, Mexico is now the company’s fourth largest market.

The nutritional company has also received a lot of positive attention in the U.S which has led to an increase in the number of distributors. The company is excited by the fact that distributors from other companies are excited by the growth of the natural food company and are flocking to ForeverGreen to be a part of their family.

Mexico is still considered to be in “pre-launch” while the company continues to build its distribution in the region and establish a presence. ForeverGreen will hold an official launch in Mexico later in the summer.

Along with the official launch of operations in Mexico, ForeverGreen will also introduce their newest product, an energy drink called ElectriFire.

Along with buzz about the new drink, ForeverGreen continues to build a reputation that is attracting distributors from other companies. While the names of other companies were not given by FG leadership, VP of Global sales for ForeverGreen, Rick Redford said in a statement “the addition of established industry leaders will significantly impact future sales as these distributors have proven themselves in the industry,” “We are very satisfied with the current direction of ForeverGreen and the momentum we are generating through our increased marketing efforts,” continued Mr. Redford

Much of the recent surge of attention seems to have come after a recent feature in Your Business at Home Magazine which has gotten a lot of positive response. According to Redford, one entire group of distributors recently joined the FG family who had been grossing over $300,000 with their previous company. Obviously, these seasoned distributors see something promising in ForeverGreen, Promising enough that they will put their reputation and a large paycheck on the line and take a leap of faith. Any company that is getting this much positive attention is one to watch.

ForeverGreen is featured in the May issue of Your Business AT Home Magazine. The magazine focuses on the direct sales and network marketing industry. The magazine offers advice and company review to help people choose a product and achieve success.

The May issues focuses primarily on the ForeverGreen Company and its new energy drink which was launched at the end of April. The new drink, ElectriFire, is an all natural, sugar free drink. The company hopes it will give customers an alternative to the over-caffeinated, chemical filled drinks. The company will expand the ElectriFire drink into a full product line that will include energy bars. The two new flavors will be called Smooth and Spice and aims to compliment the ElectriFire drink.

The company hopes that this drink will help grab a piece of the $17 billion dollar global energy drink market. ElectriFire has now launched in the U.S. but will expand to its other markets in the 2nd half of 2008.

“Our initial launch into the energy drink and food markets continues to be very successful, and we are looking to build upon this momentum by introducing ElectriFire to our international markets,” commented V.P. of Global Sales, Rick Redford. “We fully expect ElectriFire to continue to expand our sales by appealing to diverse demographics in our international markets, much as we are experiencing in North America.

The global energy drink market is expected to reach $40 billion in sales by 2010. ForeverGreen is a bit late to get into the game, but it doesn’t seem as if sales of energy drinks are slowing down. It is important for the nutrition companies to make their presence felt in every aspect of the market to keep stay in the game.

The May issue of Your Business at Home is available at Barnes and Noble, Borders, and most major book retailers.

So we got the word that the ForeverGreen global conference ended and there was an announcement that said they “officially launched itself into the energy drink market at this year’s convention. After a successful test market period, the Company launched ElectriFire™“.

What is odd about the news is that just last month we reported that the company was seeing great success from already being in the energy drink market with a product called AmpliFire. So we decided to dig a bit deeper and found that the product looks exactly the same but with a different name.

It seems that the US and Canada have been distributing AmpliFire but now they are going to launch it internationally under the brand ElectriFire. It seems like they are also going to replace any AmpliFire products with the new brand but they never mention anything about the re-branding initiative. In fact you cant even find AmpliFire on their site anymore.

We found it a bit confusing but hopefully the distributors will get a notice on the rebranding to ElectrFire.

One other quick note about the convention was that pro-network marketing politician Senator Oren Hatch was a guest speaker as was Utah State Attorney General Mark Shurtleff. Pretty impressive lineup for a company convention.
