Pooki's Mahi has met or beaten 2013's original goals. All the hard work continues to pay off. A few of our memorable moments and key wins included:
Pooki's Mahi's Brown Rock Sugars named #2 on Amazon's Best Sellers List (Brown Sugar) and #3 on Amazon's Gift List as of 12/15/2013.
Beat 2012's revenue (Spring) and moved into a new Fulfillment HQ. Free Shipping with products arriving 2-Days (West Coast/Mid-West), 4-5 days (East Coast) is one of our competitive advantages.
None of these accomplishments would have been possible without our loyal customer base, business partners and product suppliers. Y'all were instrumental to Pooki's Mahi's successes. On behalf of Pooki's Mahi's executive advisors, I wish y'all a berry merry Pooki's Winter Holidays.

As savvy shoppers we're always looking for a good deal. During the holidays it's information overload when you're bombarded with many newsletters, social media, coupons, etc. from retailers/etailers.
At Pooki's Mahi we're sensitive to the information overload and want to make sure y'all have a place to reference discounts. We'll always post product inventory updates and alert everyone when products have SOLD OUT to Pooki's Mahi Facebook.

Pooki's Mahi spent one year analyzing and designing standard packaging for all five product lines. Key factors that went into the design and final decision were: structure, opacity, barrier level, shelf life, FDA inspections, drop tests, total number of printing drums required, CoGs (Cost Of Goods Sold) and the expertise as well as in depth knowledge the packaging partner brought to the table. Pooki's Mahi's expertise in NPI (New Product Introduction) and GTM (Go To Market) launches coupled with ABC's standup pouch subject matter expertise created a fantastic partnership. Pooki's Mahi Design Lead (standup pouch design) created a brand that was modern, ultra clean and delighted celebrities and customers alike using the company's brand colors.
Check out the infographic - key areas to consider before switching product packaging. Celebrities at the 65th Emmys Gift Suite raved about the simplicity and WOW factor the pouches provided.

The road to creating Pooki’s Mahi as a brand and company has had its challenges. I quit my leadership role at a public high tech cloud company to focus on Pooki’s Mahi. The concept of Pooki’s Mahi began in 2010. Pooki's Mahi™ is bridging the gap between product development and launch by implementing an e-commerce solution complete with supply chain management, distribution and channels.
Read on for the 26 key “rules” in starting a company with physical products that generates revenue consistently.
To launch a brand (for any product) story telling through Infographics or visuals are key. A valuable lesson I learned in launching the Pooki’s Mahi brand last year. Visual Ads with succinct info (such as discounts, amount, product, disclaimers) were shared and liked in my network faster than “pure content” (text only.) Read on for great insights from M Booth and SimplyMeaure’s infographic.
2013 is off to a great start. Team/I have been working on obtaining the required certifications (Organic Certification, Fair Trade Certifications) for the upcoming new product line launches. Soon it will be official - two of our product lines will be Organic Certified! Sweet! Can’t wait have these signs made (see sample).
Looking back at 2012 my teams (in high tech and my own ventures) and I accomplished a lot. Stepping back there were quite a few memorable moments that affected all of us. Yi Ying Lu designed a great inforgraphic for Visual.ly. Well done and ‘nuff said.
If you NPI (New Product Introduction) a product it has to be one that you know very well (from concept → development → launch) including the CoGS (Cost of Goods Sold) and P&L (Profit & Loss). After all you have to be the lead sales exec who will tell a fantastic story, entice customers to buy and to keep costs in line. Believing in the product and its ability for profit is key. Why promote something you don’t believe it? Read on for the infographic…
