San Francisco, CA April 22nd, 2019 

Silicon Valley luxury beverage brand Pooki’s Mahi® announced today it is testing two-day deliveries for national grocery chain’s customers frequenting 5000+ USA locations for its 100% Kona coffee pods and Kafpresso coffee capsules. Expedited shipping enables Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller to leverage an efficient supply chain to deliver Pooki’s Mahi goal, “Digital Beverage” without charging a membership fee or requiring a minimum purchase.

Pooki’s Mahi Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller explains, “Pooki’s Mahi® has very healthy margins and a growing customer base that regularly purchases expensive 100% Kona coffee pods, Matcha Matcha Man® tea capsules, and Kafpresso™ Hawaii Kona coffee Nespresso pods. Pooki’s Mahi® conducts due diligence on potential resellers. I’m very passionate about Pooki’s Mahi customer experience. Meticulous 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). Large customers asked for a 40% discount to merchandise, fulfill and distribute Pooki’s Mahi products. Decision makers lacked a data-driven approach. 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. I have healthy margins,” the Silicon Valley executive continues.

“Retail customers are not great at selling luxury beverage products like Pooki’s Mahi 100% Kona coffee pods online because large retailers use traditional methods to market and sell new products. National chains are looking to expand their customer base by offering unique products like Pooki’s Mahi Kona coffee pods or Kafpresso Nespresso coffee pods. Often larger resellers could not provide big data sets so I can analyze their customers’ journey to discovering and purchasing Pooki’s Mahi Kona coffee pods. Larger customers that rejected Pooki’s Mahi brands made very little progress tackling selling online. I decided to focus on growing Pooki’s Mahi top line revenue from existing customers and online retailers. I also decided on onboarding global retailers and customers whose primary focus was selling online,” Pooki’s Mahi Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller further explains.

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. Shipping for the national retail chain’s customers will be handled similarly to orders from Pooki’s Mahi coffee subscription platform. Pooki’s Mahi delivers shipments within two business days throughout the USA - Lower 48 states, Alaska and Hawaii. Today large customers have to use a 3rd party provider like Amazon Fulfillment (FBA) or InstaCart for last mile delivery. The delivery charge is passed onto the customer through memberships like Amazon Prime.

The national grocery chain selected Pooki’s Mahi for the efficient supply chain, product merchandising and expertise in infrastructure technology. Pooki’s Mahi utilizes a proprietary supply chain framework created by Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller to manufacture expensive coffee pods or capsules in a just-in-time model. Pooki’s Mahi supply chain ensure customers receive freshly roasted coffee or blended teas. Integration between the national grocery retailer’s platform into the supply chain was built by Pooki’s Mahi technology executive using Founder/CEO Leslie Magsalay-Zeller architecture specs. Pooki’s Mahi averages 1.5 days to deliver orders, converts 65% of first-time customers, have a 45% click-through rate and increased margins to 60%.

A subset of Pooki’s Mahi 100% Kona coffee pods is available for national grocery chain’s customers to purchase. Pooki’s Mahi provided favorable pricing and shipping terms. 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. Pooki’s Mahi does not engage in aggressive email drip campaigns or suspicious advertising such as “buy coffee to lose weight!”

In addition to the Pooki’s Mahi 100% Kona coffee pods, the Silicon Valley brand will launch some new products on the grocery chain’s marketplace platform.

New product launches are available on Pooki’s Mahi as a coffee subscription, tea subscription, or part of the wholesale coffee club. VIP reseller distributors and VIP customers have early access to new products. The performance-driven brand does not plan on using grocery chains to launch new products.
