LIFE holders DBC fundraising news from PulseFlow FB page We're very pleased to announce that Mr Tom Nicolette from the Nicolette Consulting Group has joined the company as a senior business advisor to assist the company prepare for a forthcoming fundraising. Announced on 13 July. It's worth looking at the Facebook page as they have also given news of new US larger version of their diabetic foot and more development tie-ups. As LIFE page doesn't work on LSE I am using the company's prior name BB and hope to hear from other LIFE holders.

Puddly just a matter of waiting now - got used to that - to hopefully be informed of an RTO into a company operating in the Indian consumer sector. Have up to 6 months, but I have confidence in GC to deliver within this timescale. Meanwhile, we can watch the value of the company's investment in VG!

Meant KF not KS

I have absolutely fallen head over heels in love with anything Stevie K Cosmetics. Stevie K is gaining traction in the beauty world, and for good reason. This incredible Australian indie makeup brand is just kicking goal after goal. I also have to mention that the Brand Manger, Kate is an absolute babe and I sort of want to be her. Their lipsticks are just perfection. They are pigmented, creamy, non-drying and long lasting. The packing is so sleek and sexy, plus the artwork on the box has been inspired by Melbourne Street Art. My personal favourites are ‘BEE‘ and ‘GIRLBOSS‘. They recently released a range of Colour Shot* single eyeshadows that are unlike anything I have every tried. The shades are so so so bright. I generally find that matte colours can be quite chalky and not overly pigmented, but Stevie K have completely changed that. The pigment and colour pay-off of these little babies seriously blows my mind-hole. I just adore ‘Faster Pussycat‘. I think everyone needs to jump onto the Stevie K bandwagon, there is nothing out there quite like the brand. I am so excited to see what the new releases are for the year. Extract from onabeauty.com. January 2017. With HC and KS behind UK launch this will be a huge success.

Oldfool Thanks for that information. That makes more sense in terms of the pricing and timing of the two transactions.

MM signal for I need shares. I am not surprised after those two huge buys this morning! Perhaps they should raise the bid to attract sellers :-)

Hi RayG - glad you did make a profit overall from your deals. Certainly, IDP is not a share that can be traded easily when volume is low as at present. I don't have time trade as I am still working; although, I'd love to have the time!

Wow, they were large buys. Going to take a lots of share sales to match those!

Unless a coincidence, just noticed that someone who purchased 5713 shares on Friday for £20.84K has now sold them for £20.28K. Not a good idea!

Great names for IDP's new haircare range and their skin whitening product. Easy to remember and very relevant. Monday time to continue the rise in SP back up to the 400p level before the UK launches of Stevie K and Charles + Lee at the beginning of August. RSI turned up on Friday, but only at 51.

Thanks Wahlberg. Yes, I took the opportunity to check out all those who attended the Vegas sales pitch. A good strong team. Michael Hume has indeed got great experience and those contacts are of course so important.

Wahlberg I see that you post on another bb site, which has more comments. I do not wish to join that site, rightly or wrongly, because of the number of e-mails I used to get from them when I was a member. If you wish to repost my post about the launch in Vegas as I don't think it has been noted there, please do so. If you don't fine, I will not take umbrage :-)

One thing I like about IDP is that marketing costs are not going to eat into profits as they would have done the traditional way. With direct to consumer advertising through Facebook, Instagram and other social media avenues, they can minimise those costs and help spread the word about the company's products.

Of course IDP has been at work in the US since October last year - see the RNS of 31 October 2016, when the formation of Innova Science, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, and appointed Joseph Panetta as Executive Vice President and President of Skincare to lead its American business. JP attended CosmoProf in Vegas. Looking back at the RNS, a number of distribution channels were established in the US. It would be interesting to know how well those channels are working and expanding.

Lucinda Bauer is Sales and Digital Marketing Manager for the Aus & NZ subsidiary and as I posted earlier she is at Cosmprof Vegas. Her LinkedIn aim at IDP is to take ownership and develop engaging and memorable growth strategies among the InnovaDerma umbrella of health and lifestyle brands, including Skinny Tan, Skinny White, Stevie K Cosmetics, Charles + Lee, Roots & Prolong. Develop, execute monitor and analyze Facebook advertising which acts as the primary sales tool for the business across all brands. Perform this function for Australia, New Zealand, UK and USA to achieve monthly and quarterly KPI’s. Develop concepts and produce EDM content, Facebook content and Instagram content for AU, NZ, UK and USA to create a strong, memorable and exciting brand voices. Provide daily, monthly and quarterly reports for each brand and analyze potential issues or triumphs. Utilize Shopify as a successful sales platform for brands; perform basic coding, maintain comprehensive knowledge and implementation of apps, undertake all backend product and inventory management, use reporting functions to identify patterns, perform all customer service management tasks, such as refunds, confirmations, and follow-ups. A very important cog in the IDP wheel.

"An absolute newcomer on the scene, Charles + Lee exploded onto the scene about a year ago with the goal of making skin care effective, affordable, and most importantly, free of marketing jargon or bullshit in any form. Charles + Lee’s entire range is cruelty free, made in Melbourne from organic, natural ingredients, and only made with RSPO certified sustainable palm oil. What more could you ask for?" https://lnkd.in/gw3xEAv?lipi=urn%3Ali%3Apage%3Ad_flagship3_profile_view_base_recent_activity_details_shares%3B%2FF6NCAtgQR%2BYmJA%2FaEidtA%3D%3D One of 10 Best Skin Care for Men per D'Marge. Launching on the UK market soon and as you will have seen from my earlier post aiming for the US as well.

IDP's executive team from UK, Australia and UK launched all their brands at Cosmoprof Vegas USA last week with Lucinda Bauer, Michael Hume, Joseph Panetta, Marcus Chisholm and Kate Fissenden in attendance looking forward to creating speed and scale for the North American market this FY. Taken from KF activity on LinkedIn. Members of LinkedIn can access her activity which reports this and also shows a great photo of them in front of the IDP stand. (Sorry not allowed to link direct). To conquer the US market would be huge of course.

Fortitude - my phrasing was wrong. What I meant to say was that after so long, it will be good for SMA to have a decent business. I have no doubt that GC will make SMA successful with a retail/wholesale business, an area in which he has undoubted experience and I am excited at the prospect. Certainly, I shall be holding on to my investment here.

Thanks Sarkozy. I do agree with you and Nomz that the Bod have not been very impressive these past 2 years or so. Am just praying that GC manages something worthwhile for once with this company. Certainly, the sector that they are aiming to go into is one which could prove extremely fast-growing and profitable, but hey let's wait and see.
