PlantFuel Life Inc. has announced that it has upgraded its partnership with leading retail GNC to the Platinum level. Additionally, GNC has increased its initial purchase order for PlantFuel products to $3.9 million.
GNC reserves its Platinum partnership for Tier 1 brands with revenues over $20 million. The Platinum level will give PlantFuel premium in-store exposure including a Point of Purchase (POP) display and full front window display at every GNC at the time of launch, which is anticipated to be mid-August, 2021. Following the launch period, GNC will give PlantFuel a dedicated wall within its stores for premium exposure.
Also as part of GNC’s Platinum partnership, PlantFuel will be included in GNC’s exclusive, limited marketing campaign which includes targeted emails, retargeted advertising and social media. The brand will also be added to GNC’s Customer Loyalty programs. In addition, 100,000 PlantFuel samples will be sent to GNC’s Pro Box customers.
