Eonsmoke Targeting C-Store Distributors

E-cig maker seeks to extend reach in West, Midwest; launches new affiliate, recycling programs

GARFIELD, N.J. -- Eonsmoke LLC, a leading brand of electronic cigarettes, said that it is hoping to further extend its reach among distributors and convenience retailers throughout the United States.

"We're looking to expand into the Midwest and all over the western United States," said Michael Tolmach, CEO of Eonsmoke. "Our brand works together with our distribution channel constantly to evolve the business. The company values each and every wholesale relationship, and strives to provide distribution partners with the tools they need to thrive. The company introduces new products including flavored cartridges and accessories quarterly to boost market share, brand awareness and distributor/retailer profits."

The Garfield, N.J.-based company also recently secured new financing, launched a newly upgraded corporate website and revamped its e-cigarette affiliate program.

Eonsmoke e-cigarettes can now be promoted via an upgraded affiliate back office with new tools and marketing material. Eonsmoke partners with Omnistar for its backoffice affiliate program software needs. The company has introduced scores of newly creative banners affiliates can use to promote the brand and earn income.

And in November, to take steps to become environmentally responsible, the company introduced a recycle program for Eonsmoke batteries and e-cigarette cartridges. Customers of the brand can now send in batteries and cartridges to corporate headquarters or trade them in at their local retailers for coupons or product credits.

"The company already trades in broken batteries with the one-year warranty program we offer. Now with the new program we can offer our customers even better service," said Igor Gogus, senior vice president of Eonsmoke.

Eonsmoke announced through an internal memo to its distributors that it will recycle all of its batteries and cartridges through a manufacturing contract with its suppliers. The factories will reuse certain approved materials for the e-cigarette components, which will go through a rigorous process to be remolded and sold as new products.

"It is important for us to become socially responsible going forward as we expand and build scale. Eonsmoke electric cigarette batteries and cartridges can now be recycled and re-used so there is less garbage in the landfills all over earth," said Dharmendra John Singh, an executive vice president of Eonsmoke. "It's vital for Eonsmoke to be the most socially and environmentally accountable e-cig brand in the tobacco industry."

Eonsmoke, designs, markets, and distributes e-cigarettes and accessories under the Eonsmoke, Spirit Vapor and Miami Cigs brand names.
