Where would you expect to find sofi? (question to all!)

I agree about definitely online for Sofi, even if some shop outlets are used.

I have recently spent a long time researching CBD for pain, reading reviews on different websites (ok i know not all well known sites with reviews are to be trusted but i think smaller online outlets are more reliable for reviews). Importantly i think, there is no pressure to buy online which i might feel in a specialist CBD shop or health shop under the advice of an assistant.

Im pleased to say that i have discovered some broad spectrum CBD capsules (no taste issues which are not pleasant with CBD oil) that really seem to help with chronic pain.
Of course it could be a co-incidence but having suffered long term pain for a couple of decades the reduction in pain happened shortly after taking the pills about 3 months ago and continues. I have just ordered some more and having found a good product i will stick with them, having no reason to go elsewhere.

The Sofi product is aesthetically very attractive and of course with your website you can provide lots of interesting information about the product, the research and your mission.

Not forgetting there are all those sleepless people who know they shouldnt be looking at a screen in the middle of the night but what better time to browse for a solution to your insomnia when there is nowt else to do and traditional retail stores are shut?!

I am glad you’ve found the right solution for your chronic pain, @drmudlark! And I agree when we are sleepless, that’s the time we search for help. Online is my first choice too. Take care and sleep well :smiling_face:

Hi Sofi

I have already suggested a brochure - Viva Vitality. They say " products that make life easier". I have tried a couple and they are ok. Website www.vivavitality.co.uk
Best wishes

Thanks for sharing @Meg - I had never heard of viva vitality before but II find the set-up of their website really helpful and easy to navigate (which is certainly not always the case)! I especially like that they organise by “shop by condition” which takes you straight to the sections for sleep and insomnia.

I could see sofi fitting in well on a website like that :blush:

Long term I see Sofi becoming so well known for natural sleep/ relaxation and the benefits over our increasingly medicated toxic world - maybe one day aim for the stars and have a similar series of Sofi stores similar to Holland and Barrett! :crossed_fingers: In addition to all the other wonderful suggestions from fellow pioneers…!

I would like to see sofi in the vape shops that you see on every high street corner. Perhaps a valuable addition for those who value who want to relax or just help with anxiety. :zzz:

The obvious locations would be pharmacies, health product stores and perhaps a new store set up by Sofi. I dont think large supermarkets would be suitable because anyone interested in purchasing a Sofi product couldn’t get any real advice from the store staff. I really think that trained staff should be available to explain what Sofi is all about and what benefits could be gained by its use.

I read my last comments on this topic written a while ago. Whilst I still think Sofi should head for the star’s I believe you will find great success and fame with the products and things still to come.
Initially I would keep the store online where people can read as little or as much as they wish and my other reason for this is the target audience is very varied from what I can tell and given the state of the high street shoplifting epidemic, of which I have witnessed first hand in boots chemist where a man came in and began filling his half open jacket with expensive children’s medicine and anything else he could grab worth money. He was put in a headlock by me and made him empty most of what he had. However the pharmacist who I know asked me to let him go. Very angry I had to stand there doing nothing physical. Apparently that was the fifth time that day now he had done this. Staff didn’t call police as they said they have given up as they never get anything other than a crime number. I have escalated this with colleagues and town centre security. The reason I is I don’t think what will be deemed a desirable product should be easy to just steal.
If appropriate shops agreed to stock Sofi it would have to be behind the counter.
That’s getting ahead of time at the moment but online and street/shop window advertising to increase awareness and announce the release time of the products directing the public to the online store would probably be my opinion on where and how I would first expect to see info released to the public. All generations of people are looking for alternatives to NHS type medication with a natural approach becoming increasingly popular especially with people who have more disposable income!

I just gave what first came to mind now but will carry on to try and come up with something more specific. :slightly_smiling_face:

Come the spring next year even higher end food markets where staff can demonstrate the product and get to show the process and product to the public. Expand on the amount of research and development behind the Sofi story.
Failing that does anyone have the confidence to face the Dragons in the TV show Dragons Den. But I don’t think you should be giving away the kind of percentages they ask for!:joy:

I work in an independent department store, we have high end toiletries including flower essences and I could see Sofi potentially fitting in with what we do, the price wouldn’t be an issue. But the subscription would. If you were selling just one off fragrance kits or sleep remedies then it would be great but selling a subscription service wouldn’t work for us.

Your fragrances would work amazingly well as roll on, on the go remedies and that would commercially sell very easily and get your brand well known … Just ideas :blush:
