San Francisco, CA January 9th, 2019
Silicon Valley food and beverage brand Pooki’s Mahi® announced today Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller landed national grocery store with 5000+ locations for its luxury Kona KaKao™ coffee products; customers can purchase single-origin 100% Kona coffee pods, Matcha Matcha Man® tea capsules, and Kafpresso™ coffee capsules with complimentary standard shipping.
Pooki’s Mahi Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller explains, “Scrupulous attention to detail is used to determine qualified resellers requesting to sell Pooki’s Mahi® brands. Resellers whose customers’ profile do not match any of Pooki’s Mahi existing customer profiles will not be successful in selling our products.”
“I presented Pooki’s Mahi® product lines to multi-national corporations in 2013 and landed some large customers. Pooki’s Mahi luxury Kona coffee pods and Matcha Matcha Man® tea capsules were rejected by several large global customers who didn’t want to deal with start-ups or a Founder/CEO that never launched consumer products goods (CPG). I also learned very quickly. Large customers asked for a 40% discount to merchandise, fulfill and distribute Pooki’s Mahi products. Executives and decision makers at large customers where I presented Pooki’s Mahi luxury Kona coffee pods or Matcha Matcha Man® tea capsules were not technologists. Decisions to carry or not carry Pooki’s Mahi Kona coffee pods were made on opinions on packaging design, margins, and the amount of work needed to keep me from accessing big data sets. For Pooki’s Mahi Matcha Matcha Man® tea capsules, the decision was based on how much margins I was willing to lose,” the Silicon Valley executive continues.
The Silicon Valley technology executive continues, “Converting new customers online is much easier for Pooki’s Mahi because we know our products, customer profiles and have a baseline understanding of what it takes to convert new customers into repeat customers. I analyze big datasets looking for buying patterns, zip codes, interests, education, disposable income, product discovery journey in Pooki’s Mahi demographic market areas. Big data analysis and customer feedback drive Pooki’s Mahi roadmap. The large customers headquartered in the US that previously rejected Pooki’s Mahi in 2013 want Pooki’s Mahi product catalog.
The top 10 national grocery chain has 5000+ stores in over 35 states and was looking for unique brands, manufacturers with a strong operational and supply chain metrics for its marketplace. The goal for the grocery marketplace is to provide existing customers access to hard-to-find items, increase exposure, and drive traffic to emerge food brands. Customers can purchase directly from manufacturers.
The marketplace is the first to focus on food, beverage, and wellness products from smaller businesses with a growing brand presence. Customers of the national grocery store can purchase Pooki’s Mahi 100% Kona coffee pods, Matcha Matcha Man® tea capsules, and the new Kafpresso™ coffee capsules with complimentary shipping. Pooki’s Mahi has strict requirements for reselling their luxurious 100% Kona coffee pods.
Pooki’s Mahi owns the supply chain from incubating a product idea, manufacturing and go-to-market activities for new product launches. The Silicon Valley technology firm understands customer profile including but not limited to region, zip code, education level, interests, demographic metro areas, and lifestyle activities. Customers that live outside Pooki’s Mahi demographic metro areas do not have the disposable income to afford luxury 100% Kona coffee pods, Matcha Matcha Man® tea capsules or the Kafpresso™ coffee capsules. These types of customers always request Pooki’s Mahi to ship expensive products at zero cost and will never convert into a long term subscriber.
The Silicon Valley technology company is focused on manufacturing naturally grown single-origin 100% Kona coffee certified organic and teas in recyclable or bio-based pods.

Pooki’s Mahi provided favorable pricing and shipping times on customers on the marketplace. Today customers can order Pooki’s Mahi Kona coffee pods and expect to arrive between one to seven business days.
Pooki’s Mahi owns merchandising including driving discoverability, managing product information, and campaigns to entice interest through word of mouth product recommendations by existing customers on social media like Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest.
