Cigar News: MANUFACTURES LAUNCH “BULB” TO SUPPORT LOCAL RETAILERS KEEP THE LIGHTS ON!

ACE Prime and Crowned Heads provide details of the new BULB Initiative (TheBulbBox.com) – a new platform to help local cigar retailers to KEEP THE LIGHTS ON!

TheBulbBox.com is a unique way to leverage the reach of national brands and the influence of cigar experts to generate sales and support local businesses. (Open for Subscriptions on April 23, 2020 – further details below).

MIKE CONDER, President and Co-founder of Crowned Heads notes:

“The idea for TheBulbBox.com comes at an important time. It represents our genuine desire to support local businesses – “Keep the lights on” and help customers feel more connected to their local cigar retailer.”

The COVID-19 public health crisis has significantly impacted cigar retailers and customers from across the country. Our sector is experiencing stores and lounges turning their lights off, confusion from customers, disappointment from people looking to connect with their friends. TheBulbBox.com is a monthly subscription that directly supports the local cigar retailer. Subscribers receive exclusive content, special deals, and access to live experiences with amazing special guests. The profits from Bulb go to retailers, to KEEP THE LIGHTS ON!

LUCIANO MEIRELLES, Co-founder of Ace Prime adds:

“TheBulbBox.com is a unique way to enjoy the exclusive experience, save money on their favorite cigars, and support local businesses.” –

WHAT’S IN IT FOR RETAILERS?

It’s rewarding: When they become a Bulb Partner, they get paid!
It’s easy: TheBulbBox.com does all the work.
It’s personalized: It’s their client. It’s their message. We send their customized message in each Bulb Box, always elevating their brand, their business.

LUCIANO continues to explain:

“At a time of such uncertainty and instability – TheBulbBox.com is a potential ‘life-line’ to local businesses. Bulb will do all the work – including generating the marketing, creating momentum, and fulfilling the subscriptions. For cigar retailers, this is an opportunity to re-engage your “regulars,” acquire new customers and continue to provide a “sense of community.”

MORE BENEFITS:

Opportunity to re-engage “Regulars”: Bulb will generate the marketing and momentum. When retailers share their unique code, their customers have the opportunity to experience a taste of their local store in their homes.
A chance to acquire New Customers! Bulb will also direct online customers in their local area to the Retailer. (based on geolocation).
Provides a “sense of community”: The subscribers will experience exclusive content, industry insights, tips, and pairing experiences. Retailers will have the option to curate content as well as bring cigar events to their clients!

JON HUBER – Co-founder of Crowned Heads notes:

“Local cigars retailers are a real-life social network across the country. We are creating something that will connect the cigar family at a time of crisis, and this is only possible because of the existing trust and loyalty of the customers and the retailers.”
