Ft. Lauderdale, FL, February 20, 2007 - (Market Wire) - Sunwin Stevia International Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: SUWN), that is a leader in the production and distribution of Chinese herbs, veterinary medicines and one of the world's leading producers of all natural, zero calorie Stevia in China, announced today that it has successfully launched the sale of its Only Sweet™ stevia blend over the company's web site www.onlysweet.com on January 29, 2007.
In concert with the launch, the company has begun an online ad campaign that includes the purchase of banner ads on various high traffic web sites that deal with health and wellness, diabetes, obesity, and other targeted consumers of Only Sweet™. This represents the first step in management's branding campaign to create awareness of the Only Sweet™ product line to health conscious consumers. The Company is extremely pleased with the initial web traffic and sales generated from the site in the short period of time since the launch and management anticipates that numbers will continue to ramp as customers experience the superior quality and taste of Only Sweet™. According to initial data, orders are being received from both new and existing users of stevia and customers have given high marks in surveys to the entire purchasing experience. Additionally, as a result of the initial campaign, the company has been contacted by a number of diabetes clinics and dieticians interested in introducing their patients to Only Sweet™.
This initial step in a much broader marketing campaign is in part designed to create awareness of the benefits of Only Sweet™. Management intends to further its marketing program in the near future by including distribution in major grocery, vitamin, and specialty food stores throughout the course of 2007. The Company is targeting to have its Only Sweet™ products available in over 1000 retail outlets throughout the second half of 2007.
Steven Silbert, Executive Vice President of Sunwin Stevia International stated "The Company is very pleased with the initial results of our U.S. online sales launch and the overall level of awareness of the benefits of stevia in the United States. The use of stevia is advocated by a number of highly visible health advocates, celebrities, and health and wellness publications all of which promote its virtues as a dietary supplement that offers benefits not found in sugar or artificial sweeteners. We believe it is only a matter of time that stevia, which is used by over 100 million people worldwide, becomes even more mainstream with U.S. consumers. Our Only Sweet™ line of products, are all natural, inexpensive, great tasting and have zero calories which positions Sunwin to become the industry leader in this rapidly growing U.S. market."
