Episode #23 RangeMe/ECRM - Winning Pitches - Hatched Hub

Eco Bandage, The Crystal Charged Co. & FlickaFly are brands that have squeezed every drop of opportunity out of ECRM and RangeMe. Not only have they landed retail wins and gathered valuable insights from buyer meetings at ECRM Sessions across the Health & Beauty Care, Food & Beverage and General Merchandise Categories, but they have also found packaging and ingredient suppliers as buyers at ECRM’s Contract Manufacturing Sessions. On top of this, Eco Bandage recently landed a Golden Ticket at Walmart’s Open Call from its RangeMe submission and will soon be on the shelves at that retailer’s stores!In this episode, ECRM’s Joseph Tarnowski speaks with the four people charged with the success of these brands, three of which are family members: The Kavovits – Andrew, Jennifer and their daughter Kiowa, as well as Jennifer Baxter. Jennifer Kavovit and Jennifer Baxter are Co-Founders of The Crystal Charged Co., which makes Chakra Drop, a crystal filtered water that just landed a deal with Home Goods from ECRM’s recent Beverage Session. Kiowa Kavovit is the CEO of Eco Bandage, a colored liquid bandage that’s sustainably made and packaged, which landed a deal with Meijer from last year’s ECRM Health Care Session and the Golden Ticket from its Open Call event. Andrew Kavovit represented FlickaFly, an innovative fly swatter, at ECRM’s Impulse: Front End & Checklane Session to get buyer feedback for future development.Andrew and Jennifer Kavovit also run Hatched Hub, an incubator for brands that helps launch new products, like Eco Bandage and Chakra Drop, and scale up existing ones.
