Your Content Marketing Academy Founder & Co-Host:

A human being and Dad to Spencer. Your latest co-host enjoys doing more of what makes him happy. He’s an award winning community creator from the United Kingdom.

2009 – 2011 was a transitional time for Chris. He was studying academically and non-academically, Chris started blogging and was fired up about the potential of social media and content marketing.

This is when he started to help small businesses in his spare time, cutting his teeth with social media and content for commercial enterprises. It makes sense now, looking back, that when he left his job to go to the university, that he decided to never work for anyone else, ever again.

“So, my story isn’t that dramatic – I didn’t quit my job to become an entrepreneur. I simply decided to not get a job after university.” – Chris Marr

CMA was registered in 2012 and Chris become a Director the day he graduated from the University of St. Andrews in June 2013.

“No one has ever asked me about my degree, and no one has ever asked me for my CV. This stuff doesn’t matter anymore.” – Chris Marr

The Turning Point CoHost:

At some point in our lives, we hit a critical point. A point where we pivot and change the direction of our lives. It’s this turning point that changes the trajectory we are going on. Our Turning Point cohost is Dan Maw. He is the voice of The Turning Point Podcast, a show created to help people realize that it’s OK to make the big leap towards becoming the ultimate version of themselves. He is also the co-founder of the award winning international design agency HACKSAW™ in the UK.

[spp-timestamp time=”11:25″] How Dan met Mark Asquith.
[spp-timestamp time=”14:03″] The power of networking. Focus on getting the people you can help now. Reach out and help each other. We need to be taking action and getting our brands out there. Be open, honest, transparent and share everything. Show people that it is OK to do things a bit different. It’s OK to re-purpose content on other channels. Fail faster.

057: Pure Vitamin Club Launches B12 Over The Pond

Scott Mulvaney — Mon, 13 Mar 2017 15:00:00 +0000

B12 Product Release CoHosting:

On this episode, we have the return of our co-host from episode 24, Andy Schreiber. He is the Co-Founder of Pure Vitamin Club and he is back to talk about their latest B12 product release while launching Pure Vitamin Club overseas in the UK and beyond. Andy digs into how the B12 supplement was made and why we should be taking this particular supplement.

No additives, No fillers, Vitamins, Magnesium

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:02″] Pure Vitamin Club have just brought in a Digital Marketing Agency to take them to the next level.

[spp-timestamp time=”01:53″] All new businesses that are trying to build a successful business should be reinvesting back into the business within the first 3 to 5 years. Andy and Vinnie never wanted to put the health of the company at risk, they have built the company up so much that they are now at a point where they can safely reinvest into it and take it to the next level.

[spp-timestamp time=”02:51″] Andy was from a film distribution background at Playboy. Building for the future.

[spp-timestamp time=”05:05″] Chip 4.0. We have to be our own Life Doctors and start questioning what we are learning and what we are putting into our bodies.

[spp-timestamp time=”11:56″] Being approached by Walmart.com, selling on Amazon and staying true to their brand.

[spp-timestamp time=”16:28″] Selling across the pond (UK & Beyond) and the complications that were involved when forming the UK Business Accounts. Pure Vitamin Club should be launching in the UK in Mid April’17.

[spp-timestamp time=”19:48″] Signing a deal to sell in Europe.

[spp-timestamp time=”21:42″] The scheduled launch for the UK was January now it is April 2017.

[spp-timestamp time=”22:40″] Patents and trademarking the supplements. It has taken a lot of blood, sweat and tears to create the products you see on the website. These are pure vitamins. No fillers or bulking agents are in the product. Andy interviewed 40 manufacturing partners to get the vitamins made. He only found 2 out of the 40 that were willing to make them.

[spp-timestamp time=”24:56″] The power of networking.

[spp-timestamp time=”26:18″] Their new product, Vitamin B12. Why it was so tough to produce and how they are made. The best way to absorb B12 is sublingual (abbreviated SL, from the Latin for “under the tongue”).

[spp-timestamp time=”36:23″] Andy spoke before on Episode 24 about adding some peppermint flavoring to the B12 tablets but they have since decided against it. Most vitamins you would buy from the supermarket contain 4 to 5 components listed in the ingredients section of the label. This B12 product from Pure Vitamin Club has only two, B12 and Calcium, that is it!

[spp-timestamp time=”39:40″] Magnesium is a mineral that a lot of us are deficient in, especially many who live the Vegan and Vegetarian lifestyle.

[spp-timestamp time=”42:16″] “If You’re Not Embarrassed By The First Version Of Your Product, You’ve Launched Too Late” ~ Reid Hoffman of LinkedIn Quote.

[spp-timestamp time=”46:11″] Marketing, Psychology and good Customer Service.

[spp-timestamp time=”53:49″] Why everyone should be taking a B12 supplement.

[spp-timestamp time=”57:00″] Final Words

Final Words

All the time we are presented with challenges that make you think, “I don’t know how to do that”. Take a minute, stop and say to yourself, I don’t know how to do that? Then decide how to figure it out and then execute on it. Whatever challenge you face, you can figure it out. Pure Vitamin Club is a living embodiment of that.
