Kaival Brands (OTCQB:KAVL) Announces Bidi Vapor to Resume Attendance at Live Trade Shows as Vaccination Rates Rise
E-cigarette, pouch maker schedules Outlook Leadership, ASD, NACS Show to meet, reconnect with new and current B2B clients
GRANT, Fla., July 8, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Kaival Brands Innovations Group, Inc. (OTCQB: KAVL) ("Kaival Brands," the "Company," or "we"), today announced that e-cigarette and nicotine-pouch maker Bidi Vapor, LLC, ("Bidi Vapor") has scheduled its executives and sales teams to attend several live, in-person conferences and trade shows, as COVID-19 vaccination numbers rise across the country. Among these meetings are Winsight and CSP magazine's Outlook Leadership conference; ASD Market Week for wholesale and retail buyers; and the NACS Show for convenience-store retailers and distributors, with special Bidi Vapor offers to include invitation-only meet-and-greets and 30-day, no-risk product trials. Kaival Brands is the exclusive global distributor of products manufactured by Bidi Vapor, including the BIDI® Stick disposable electronic nicotine delivery system ("ENDS"), which is intended exclusively for adults 21 and over.
The Company's primary offering, the BIDI® Stick, is the fastest-growing ENDS in the United States according to a Nielsen market share data report for the 52-week period ending March 27, 2021, and is exclusively marketed to adults1. The tamper-resistant BIDI® Stick is also the only ENDS on the market with an ecologically friendly, mass-recycling program called BIDI® Cares, and is the subject of a comprehensive Premarket Tobacco Product Application ("PMTA") now under review with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the "FDA"). In May 2021, all 11 varieties of Bidi Vapor's BIDI® Stick devices were included on the FDA's recently released list of deemed new tobacco products. This is a list of ENDS products for which a PMTA was submitted to the FDA by September 9, 2020, which was the deadline for currently marketed products.
"As COVID-19 restrictions loosen, Bidi Vapor and Kaival Brands are happy to return to a more face-to-face form of marketing," says Niraj Patel, president and Chief Executive Officer of Kaival Brands. "This approach builds trust when we can explain to people in person the benefits of a high-quality, premium e-cigarette."
