| Marketing:
We are presently selling
our products throughout the world to government organisations,
commercial re-sellers and to a number of high profile
important customers for their promotional handouts.
We are the sole suppliers
to the Paris Police.
Self-testing has opened
up the retail possibilities throughout the world, where
a wide range of outlets from the major supermarkets, pharmacies,
vending machines, tobacconists etc., are turning over
large volumes. In France alone, Redline supplied three
million testers to the wholesale / retail market in January
of 1996.We are suppliers to the major supermarket groups
in France, namely, Promodes, Continent, Atac and Carrefour.
During 1998, we supplied over 1 500 000 testers to Austria
in time for their carnival, and to coincide with the change
of legislation in that country. A massive campaign was
instituted by one of the largest newspapers in Austria,
to educate the public on the concept of self-testing.
Coca-Cola, Total Oil, Fiat, Honda, BMW, BP, together with
major European Insurance companies, such as Axa and Groupama
are amongst our clients who hand out single units as promotional
give-away's together with a personalised message on the
packaging.
The German market has recently
opened up to our product with the change of legislation
to 0,05g with effect from 01 April 1998.Well known German
television personality, Fritz Egner, has been instrumental
in promoting our product on television and throughout
the media. We are presently selling our product through
supermarkets and chemists.
Alexander Wurtz, who has
won the Le Mans 24 hour race, and who is also the Benetton
Formula One driver, has assisted with promoting our product
throughout Austria.

Spain, New Zealand, Belgium, Australia, U.S.A., the United

SOUTH
AFRICA
We are embarking on a national
campaign whereby Redline has requested the Department
of Transport's approval to endorse and promote the concept
of self testing. This is in line with the major French
Government national campaign to ensure that disposable
breathalysers are freely available at retail outlets throughout
France. The packaging will be standard and easily recognisable
by the public and be available throughout South Africa
at a standard retail price of ZAR10.
Safety legislation requires that staff who operate large,
expensive equipment, drivers of public vehicles, transport
operators and staff in potentially dangerous situations
should not be under the influence of alcohol. Redline
testers are used effectively to screen these situations.
Law enforcement. Police can
use these testers extensively to screen motorists prior
to taking a blood sample, or for educational purposes.
We have recently supplied 4 000 testers to the South African
Western Cape Traffic Department for their use as screening
devices at roadblocks and a further 6000 testers to the
Government Funded Arrive Alive Campaign.
PACKAGING
The actual product remains
constant - but it is offered in various types of packaging
to suit customer's requirements with logos, corporate
messages etc.
COMPETITIVE
PRICES
Due to favourable exchange
rates, strict quality control and large- scale manufacturing,
the cost of these testers is internationally competitive.
Please do not hesitate to contact
us if any further information is required. We believe
that our product offers you and your organisation a unique
opportunity of promoting not only yourselves by way of
advertising, but also supporting a social awareness of
one of our country's major problems. |
