Press Release Body = (New York, 2006) On a recent segment of Entertainment Tonight Jamie Foxx held a bottle of Bling h2o and called it "my new water". Celebrities were seen drinking it at The 48th Grammy Awards, the MTV Video Awards, the Superbowl and the NBA Association. It was pictured in Time Magazine (December 19, 2005), The Nibble gourmet magazine, and on the front page of AOL. It can also be seen at luxury establishments such as the Louis Vitton shop in Paris, the MGM Mirage, the Venetian Tao Restaurant in Las Vegas, and the Delano Hotel in Miami Beach. It\'s finally arrived in New York City and can be purchased at Custom Beverage Solutions. The buzz is all about the new super luxury Bling H2O Limited Edition Spring Water which retails for upwards of $35.00-$50.00 per bottle. It's probably the world's most expensive bottle of water in a class all its own, but what makes it $35.00+ per bottle. And in some places it sells for upwards of $75.00-$90.00 per bottle.
Linda Walker, President of Morgan Walker International, who served as product development consultant for Bling h2o said: that while "one may wonder who would pay upwards of $35.00+ for a bottle of water, one must not forget the power of perceived value in the super luxury market". Bling H2o is drenched in luxury, style, and substance. The water is packaged in acid etched or frosted glass wine bottles, then each bottle is screen printed with the unique bling logo which is exquisitely covered with genuine Swarovski crystals. The water inside comes from a spring source which has won several gold medals for quality and good taste.
Kevin G. Boyd, Hollywood writer-producer is the mastermind behind Bling H2O. Walker said, \"when Kevin came to us a year ago, it was obvious he had done his homework. He not only had an innovative concept, he had carefully researched the business and took the time to meticulously craft every aspect of the product from design through distribution. When he partnered with Luins Williams, President of Premier Label Water Company who had been in the bottled water business for many years, the synergies were just right.\" Walker said, she believes "Bling H2O is currently in a class of its own influencing the packaging of luxury bottled water brands. With all the buzz about Bling, "our firm is receiving additional requests for glass bottled water with gemstones. But Bling H2o is clearly the originator of this genre of glass packaging". In fact we can even co-brand Bling H2o by adding your logo to create your own Bling collectible. As the product slogan goes: \"Do You Bling?\"
Walker noted that \"another luxury brand to keep an eye out for is the new DABAU Luxury Spring Water pronounced \"W\" which is packaged in an elegant bellissima grappa style bottle.\" Dabau is a perfect fit for fine dining and was recently recognized as a finalist for the Bottledwaterworld Design Awards in Bergamo, Italy. She added that in the crowded bottled water market it is not an easy task to launch one\'s own brand. It requires substantial financing to cover high volume production costs and create the kind of national and global distribution network required to bring a new brand to market. Many of today\'s young entrepreneurs are forging ahead and challenging established norms about beverage production and branding. Custom Beverage Solutions serves as not only a supplier source for bottled water product development but more importantly as a mentor and consultant to help clients begin creating and building their own brands.
